  1. Yep, it showed he cares and why should he take dogs abuse. He also reacted when the fans were snging to the team 'youre not fit to wear the shirt' He rightly took offence and good on him
  2. Im amazed you put 18% as imbeciles. Reading the nonsense online, fans who dont seem to realise that booing the team when its 0-0 how that effected the team who let a goal in within 30 seconds. The players were edgy from the off and were settling into the game when some decided to boo. I understand the frustration, but the team needed support not booing. This took me back to some of the saddest days I have watching the Saints when th fans were fighting amongst themselves during the DOncaster game. Made going to football no fun at all.
  3. and we wouldnt notice his penchance of a leaky non exsistant defence
  4. When he came on he was running on the wshoulders of their defenders and pointing for a ball to be put through, but never was he given one. I also noticed how quick he was when he went to chase the keeper down,
  5. We dont know what was said to him but he should hae keep his cool, he motioned at the Northam as well. I didnt think it was right to sing 'not fit to wear the shirt' as in the last few years few have been worth it.
  6. As the senior players are said to want him back, I feel its time to get rid of them as they have thrown other managers under the bus. Bad influence and only do it again.
  7. Well we'll see , I cant recall who that was, must have been a top PL player asit didnt improve our results
  8. With the position we are in,we are going to be back last Jan where nobody wants to come to us if we are in a relegation fight!!!
  9. I thought the new presenter got into it a bit more and got the debate going. Need a bit more different views. Glenn is aserbic but needs someone to get another side to get it a bit more energetic
  10. I think Alfie House nd the guys on Total Saints podcast summed this up brilliantly. He couldnt dive until the last second as there looked to be 2 players who might give a deflection. It does look bad I agree
  11. So have you 200m to buy thy club? I recall how miserable it was going to games when the fans were turnng on Rupert, the ground was half full and it fed onto the pitch. If you truly believe that havng marches or not spending in the clubs facillties will help I feel for you. The more we spend the more the club have to reinvest, the fanbase has been buffeted by bad ownership since SR took over, I for one wasnt elated when they took over as I thought Gao Semmens did ok with what we had (due to China restircting money going out) We had a bit of a decent time the promotion season , although that was just ok apart from the playoff games and Wembley that gave us the warm feeling of success.
  12. Are you saying he was at fault for the goals? FFS The 1st goal was right in the corner (sadly I dont think we have a forward who could place the ball so well) the 2nd was going wide hit the player and McCarthy was flat footed and expecting it to go in when it came off the post and went past him (perhaps he could have reacted to that, but still harsh) and the 3rd it was a one on one and they again finished it well.

    Will Still

    We seem to have a fan base of self harmers. When will we learn that you cant keep swaping managers. Give Still a fair crack at it FFS. I always thought that getting rid of Puel was a mistake, and we have lost our way since
  14. He'll have to turn to modelling
  15. Should stop shopping at Temu

    Will Still

    Harry was an experienced manger, Bassett , Burley and others who failed, easy to pick a few who did ok. Still has not had long and quite frankly it makes me squirm when i read that we have one of the best squads in the Championship. Most of them are losers and then an influx of new players who arent settled yet. When will we learnn that you cant keep changing manager. If the board had listened to the fans when LM was first here we'd have never had the success we had in the 70's-80's

    Ross Wilson

    Crikey some people just seem to be able to chat their way into good jobs.
  18. I think it is a harsh some of the comments on Paul Jones. Im sure he made a very imortant save when it was 0-0 at Dellhurst Park.
  19. crikey, I suppose by the time he had moved his chair a little forward then back again, 5 times sideways, before moving it further back, until he was where he started, and saying that he wanted to be brave the time alloted had finished and so had to go and see them again and again
  20. Perhaps the club need an expereinced CF like Frank Worhtington, somebody who didnt score many but he knitted the frnt players together, Bamford may be one to do similar
  21. It is a terrible blow for Ross, how he must feel, and the terrible mess it must make to his mental health.For me a selfish fan, Im gutted and am angry at the club for leaving such an obvious hole in our squad by not buying a CF. Its difficult, I recall fns saying lets get Broja in the summer, pay what they want etc etc, but he has done little. The clubs policy of buying potential seems another masterplan by Rasmus IMO. So where do we go from here, I have said before I dont fancy going up this season as this squad would humiliate us more than last season. The recruitment team are not fit for purpose as the type of player we buy are not physical enough to cope with the physicality of the PL. IMO we need strong athletic players who are also have pace.
  22. Not sure its down to coaching or coaches, IMo its down to the recruitment department. The best £5m we could spend is find who is sourcing the players at Bournemouth and pay them big wages to do their stuff here. It seems to me that for the last 10years they have hit the nail on the head and bought well. There may have been the odd dud but in the main they have bought well. Or we have seen them and choose others, I saw that a few years ago we were considering Semenyo when at BC, id hate to think who we chose instead!!
  23. I knew nothing of Downs until he turned up. I saw his finish in the friendly and thought wow we have unearthered a gem, especially as Poch seemed to rate him, sadly he may be one of those gems that the Nigerian scammers try and sell on the internet to mug punters. I wonder if they have spors number 😀 I am not giving up on him as I truly hope he can put 2 fingers up at the fanbase, something that McCarthy could rightly donow as he has proved a lot of fans wrong.
  24. He's a leftie and so I expect Gary Neville will betrying to get him a job as a pundit lol
