you need punk and edgy 70/80's music for them to have value, really

Another enjoyable listen. Interesting that Dan said Ralph was not interested in any of the coaches giving him advice/feedback. There was another Austrian who liked total control some time ago, that went well

He has always hated KD. Im sure there are no tissues left in the house since the news was announced.

Amazing that he was the player poleaxed but still able to sprint to the ball after their keepers punt upfield

Crikey, that is a strong league. I wont be joining that lol I finished 3rd in the The Saints Patron championship, and 57th in Saintweb forum. Lost to a Brighton fan who finished in top 100k in another league, and 2nd in an Australian league. Am told he has some kind of App programme that helps him!! Not sure how. I joined some other random league and won it. I have no idea who gave me the link lol

Fans also sing about Pompey, no problem. You may like Liverpool, I myself despise them and their manager and was delighted they didnt win the league

Dyche ffs, you never have been a judge DT lol

The league has just finished and a Saints fan on the SaintsForum has finished 201 in the world. That is with nearly 9m players! Fantastic achievement. My first season and 236,508 in the world. It is an engrossing game, and if you haven't done it worth a go.

Maddison is in a different league to Moi

If he was cheeky in a post match interview he would have had a job for life

No doubt a windfall tax will come into play, but IMO it will only get passed on. We need the oil companies to open up more wells and get production back up again in the North Sea. More production can only help with the world oil price, that in turn helps the cost of living. Penalising the oil companies, who are under pressure due to the green lobby, only will make them less ambitious. Brexit has had its costs that have been passed on by logistics companies, food importers etc etc. Any of you who have experience of exporting/importing will have seen the extra costs that have added to the cost of living. As China and India become wealthier, as they develop the taste for meat and dairy products, this in turn will mean that the worlds commodity price for such things is going to push up. Cheap food, energy will be something we will only pass on as stories to our grandchildren. Obviously Ukraines importance of producing food etc is a factor

Call me old fashioned but a goal keepers no 1 attribute should be actually stopping the ball going into the net. Modern football now needs a keeper to be able to pass and comfortable on the ball, it would be great if the same could be expected of or defenders and midfield.

Actually the whole squad are PL players. They may not be in your opinion, and with a large percentage they are not good enough, in my opinion either. It is not my attitude that has caused the spiral, it is the attitude of the club who have always sold our better players. Needs must I suppose. Im not McCarthys greatest fan, but I find it odd that our team goes out on the pitch and an important part of that team gets booed. Its counter productive to the teams chances. It must not have helped McCarthy and no doubt made him (and team edgy) I dont know of any club that would build a side around a defensive minded midfielder. Perhaps find a blend to compliment him by all means. I like a large part of the fan base are disengaged with this team, and cant see why all of a sudden again we have fallen off the cliff. Our fortunate win V Arsenal has been a lifesaver. Iam amazed that Ralph came to the club with intimate knowledge of the German league, I fully expected some gems to be recruited from there, but no. Apparently he brings young players through.......4 years later the young players have in the main gone backwards or sideways. A pressing style that has now become inert

Considering what he has around him and his wonderful free kicks he deserves the nomination

Nathan interviewed after the game, thanked the fans and said next season we will do better. So I myself am very pleased he is staying, but like McCarthy it is always their fault we lose. I know its heresy to say but I wouldnt mind JWP leaving if we reinvested the funds well. He is fantastic at free kicks and gives his all, but IMO his lack of forward passes, and slow build up play stops our counter attacks. When did he last slot a ball through for one of our forwards to run onto? He is a fantastic player, and probably deserves to go to a side that his skill set fits in with. This is not an attack on him but just a personal opinion.

I think Kitchbicher is a video man apparently

Dont know, perhaps who leaked it or allowed it to be leaked. I think it was a member of the club who bragged to the Athletic what was happening

Ralph needs a right hand man to bounce ideas off, but unfortunately it seems to me he likes to dictate, I think there was another Austrian who liked total rule. Was Ralphs success in Germany down to his help with Rohl (?) I think who has gone onto bigger and better things. When the Athletic broadcast to the world that we had the 60min energy break I believe we were playing good and successful football. Then that was stopped and we fell away. I may be wrong and hopefully someone will know the timeline (MLG) to either confirm or deny. The same publication also announced the exclusive of FF leaving, why just before the Liverpool game, why not as the season finished?

SFC is not fit for purpose. No entertainment value and just cannon fodder for teams to come and destroy us for the cameras. IMO the new owners are as ambitious as the Katrina and Gao, 'sustainability' = Milk the club and us the mug fans who buy into it swallow the bile served up time and again. Watching that shell of a team was so depressing. I couldn't bear to watch a lot of it as it was obvious even a goal up we had no belief that we could win. It was a big chance to make us the headlines and for Sky to have to analysis us instead of 20 minutes after the game talk up their agenda to pressure Man City. Carragher Redknapp and kelly Cates all Liverpool, then BBC sport had the rat Lallana drooling over Klopp then a ten minute interview with the piano key toothed twat. This was a re run of the Cup semi final against Leicester where Ralph was more concerned in losing to a low score. I cant change the club I love, I just wish I hadn't been indoctrinated since i was 7 or 8 into it being the club of my dreams ( a long 55 years later). and will again have to put up with the patronising and smug Liverpool fans who are from around here.

Personally, we are more stable than many other countries due us having a Monarchy. Something to rally behind during times of crisis.

Are these lines from Monty Pythons Holy Grail

In my opinion when the nation has had troubles, the King or Queen has been inspiration and succour. As for the French palaces there are more I suspect in France. Anyway it is not worth discussing it as you are the most set in the way/mind person there is and so the circles will be keep going around. I respect your position, but to me the Queen has been a fantastic figurehead for the UK. A person who has massive respect around the world. A lot of time it is envious people who dislike her.

It seems to me that the Queen is more respected in the world than she is with some here. The most powerful people in the world want to sit and have tea, be seen with the Queen. They wouldn't with Corbyn or Boris etc etc.

The one year return looks good as well -99.94%. In the last year lots of institutions have put money into crypto and so they cant afford for it to die. I read that the amount of whales ( myunderstanding is that these are people who hold massive amount of coins) has dropped dramatically, I can only assume they have carefully left the game for the poor sould to hold the baby

Without a doubt it will be a total disaster if Russia take Odessa, then they will join the border with Moldova, where there are a separatist group there. Im sure that it will not be long before NATO will act. Not good news. The respect I had of the power of the Russian army has evaporated. Just hope that there can be some way of Putin to be stopped.
