East Kent Saint

We don’t know if he is just following orders , if he did want to move the ball forward quickly there is often no one available . The front players have long since given up making runs or even being in the final third . I think most players would give up , see Man U before Ten Hag and even after he started.

This has been the ‘modern’ coaching normal , see England for advice ! It only works if you have the second part which is players capable of converting that possession to quick forward attacking movement as per Man C , Real etc

Newcastle and ManU 1 up already

I remember well the last game of the season when we were staying up at half time and then bottom of the league at full time , a bitter end . I know we are going down but it will still be a numbing experience when it is confirmed .

An ideal candidate to get Spurs back on track , Saints could put a package of players together to help him settle in 😃

Yes the media go bonkers if some film actors are involved with 'normal people' , it remains to be seen how long they last when the bills start to roll in at a higher level .

He had a good spell with a new more aggressive approach and we enjoyed Zaha being nullified . He suffered a bit as the team went into slow decline and missed out on an England place so that was probably his last chance . Like most players he would look better in a more positive going forward team . JWP is JWP he's not some shouty , pointy , in yer face bloke .

5 shots on target so far for Saints ! Some sort of record in one match this season !

Ralph was f*cked mentally at the end , he would have plodded on like Selles until he was booted out .

But if Saints managed to cling on in the Prem this season would that be a good thing or would it mean another season of pain for fans ?

It looked like Ralph had run out of ideas , was floundering and wanted to go before he lost the will to live . Lack of a striker last summer was the writing on his wall .

After a good start at Bayern he stopped scoring , went to WC and missed it due to injury and has struggled for form since his return to the team . Seems he had a beef with Sane about a passage of play !

After Saints missed out on Ramos then Gakpo etc , then it was what was left but it requires the coach to assess his players and put out a suitable team in a suitable formation .

I think he had some disagreement with Pep , the details of which I can't remember ! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11959963/Joao-Cancelo-appears-fire-shot-Pep-Guardiola-ahead-Man-City-reunion.html Well , that would be it ,

It looked like Robertson did put his hands on first and the Lino shrugged him off but caught his chin ! Apparently the match officials have previous with Liverpool . The Prem etc need to really clamp down on players approaching officials , only the captain etc . During the match when it got heated the other players did a good job of separating the warring parties !

Allegedly offered him a contract till the end of the season when he wanted a longer term deal .

Wow ! Scoring goals , winning tournaments and penalty shoot outs are nothing the Saints men’s team can learn about ? Good to know Saints as so much better than that 😄

It is worth noting that while all food products exporting to the EU go through extensive checks NO checks are done importing to the UK from the EU ! They have been postponed several times already . Portsmouth council was conned into building a £25m facility to carry out these checks but it is standing idle thanks to this govt.

We are regularly suffering from the brexit queues on the roads in East Kent , currently every passport has to be inspected and stamped when travelling to France . Although suspended twice soon you will have to have to have fingerprints taken as well as face photo which will put the hand brake on ! we have had all this flying to USA , it has speeded up some what since the self service days !

Replacing your roof is subject to building control since 2016 (I think) So not planning permission . It includes structural issues such as can the rafters support the weight of new tiles to , is enough insulation being installed to comply with latest regs . Our friend was dobbed in by a neighbour which cost a fee and a bit of compromise re storage platform in the loft v insulation .

He’s doing well after his recovery ! A pity he’s tarnished with Saudi sports washing .

There’s spending money and there’s SPENDING MONEY !

He still looked in mental turmoil a bit like Howe after B’mouth failure
