Thread | We are being linked with signing new players.
at 09:40 28 Nov 2024
If you can believe all the gossip we are being linked with the signing of new players in the transfer window.
What is the point.
99% certain that we'll be assured of relegation by then & back in Championship next season.
Panic buys in January will not help us survive, the damage has already been done.
We've played 12 games so have 26 games left. We'd need to get 32 - 36 more points to avoid the drop. Mathematically needing nearly 1.1/2 points per game to survive .
Even those with the most vivid imagination can't see that happening.

Thread | Tall Paul's injury down to lack of game time.
at 11:58 25 Nov 2024
I thought Tall Paul was excellent & gave us a new different dimension to our game.
He looked totally committed, good attitude & held the ball up brilliantly.
He also showed parts to his game that were unexpected, the ability to get past defenders & cause problems.
What about the one mazy run he did after winning the ball.
His injury is down to his lack of game time.
He'd only played 63 minutes in total this season. You cannot expect any player to come into a game of this magnitude without the necessary preparation.
No amount of training prepares you for the pace & intensity of the Premier lge.
I blame RM, he's never given Tall Paul enough game time or opportunities to prove himself.
Tall Paul certainly made a massive statement yesterday & if fit he should start every game.
Hope his injury is not too serious, he deserves a chance. |

Thread | RM not very good at Maths either.
at 09:13 24 Nov 2024
Apparently RM has said that he is confident that his team can get a result against Liverpool & get themselves off the bottom of the lge.
Does he never look at the lge table, unless the FA feel sorry for us & give us 5 points in the very unlikely event of us beating Liverpool then we we are marooned at the bottom & will most likely be there for the rest of the season. [Post edited 24 Nov 9:14]

Thread | Such sad news about legendary Dave Watson
at 09:12 18 Nov 2024
Before the England game started yesterday they did a feature on Dave Watson who is now suffering Dementia.
How sad to see him as he is now, I'll always remember him as a giant in the game.
At the time he was probably the best centre back in the game.
We were lucky enough to see him play for us albeit at the end of his memorable career.
Best wishes Dave & thanks for the memories. |

Thread | Shea Charles captained his National side last night
at 12:31 16 Nov 2024
It would appear that Shea Charles is impressing in his loan spell at Sheff Wed.
It looks inevitable that we'll recall him in January ( assuming we have that option).
What's the chances of his goalkeeping brother who's also impressing for club & country joining him at St Mary's. |

Thread | This team is worse than than the one that got relegated 2 years ago.
at 11:43 10 Nov 2024
Individually we have a worse bunch of players now than when we got relegated 2 years ago.
The board have stated that they still support the Manager, how can they say that considering where we are in the lge & the insipid performances we are delivering.
If they genuinely believe in this Manager then we are in real trouble, if they stick with him we will end up in Division one. |

Thread | RM has made the comment we do not have enough wide men to provide service to Arc
at 12:02 8 Nov 2024
RM has recently stated that we do not have enough quality from our wide men to provide a decent service to Archer.
He's having to utilise Manning in that role.
Another example of very poor selection of players brought in.
We signed both Cornet & Diaz who neither are genuinely wide players.
We also got Fraser who is just no longer good enough or fit enough for Premier football.
We'd have been better off keeping Edozie & giving Sam Amo game time.
Both are genuine wide men with the ability to take defenders on & get behind them.
Alright both are young & a bit erratic but I think both are better options than we are struggling with at present.

It was was good opportunity to give Tall Paul a start, but he's on the bench again.

Thread | Ten Haag sacked by Man U. Who's Next.
at 11:59 28 Oct 2024
Now that Man Utd have sacked Ten Haag it'll be interesting to see who's favourite to replace him.
I hear that Southampton Fc have an astute young manager that could become available very soon.
I'll personally write a reference for him. |

Thread | Manning voted 3rd best looking player in Premier lge
at 09:15 25 Oct 2024
Someone with nothing better to do has run a poll on best looking player in Premier lge.
Would you believe Ryan Manning finished 3rd in that poll, not sure that's very complimentary because Jamie Vardy (Albert Steptoe lookalike) finished 2nd.

Thread | We are without doubt the worst team in the Premier Lge.
at 17:18 19 Oct 2024
Rock bottom with just one point from 8 games,
Hate to say this but we are by far the worst team in the lge & with the worst Manager in the lge.
RM is so naive & unable to manage at this level.
Yes, the Owners must share the blame with their ridiculous signings over the last few seasons.
The rot has set in & even with a new manager we are not going to compete in this lge. [Post edited 19 Oct 19:04]

Neither Dias or Cornet are in the squad to face Leicester today.
Says a lot for our Summer signings.
More millions wasted.

Thread | The best English Manager not considered for England job
at 11:08 18 Oct 2024
Eddie Howe has now stated that he was not considered or offered an interview for the England job.
The FA admitted that they had identified & interviewed at least 10 candidates.
That is disgusting, what message does that send out to our current & future coaches.
I wouldn't disagree that Tuchel has the right portfolio / credentials for the job, but the FA should at least give consideration to our own coaches.
Probably a cost cutting exercise because they would have had to pay compensation to Newcastle to get EH.
Tuchel was a freebie apart from the huge salary he'll be earning. |

Thread | Russell Martin doesn't practice what he preaches.
at 14:35 14 Oct 2024
I watched the RM Norwich Legends v Ex Saints Legends Charity match on Sunday at St Mary's.
It was actually really good fun to watch & I'm sure the players loved it (they might be a bit sore today).
RM looked a bit fitter than most & he was half decent but it was very noticeable that he didn't try playing suicidal possession stuff.
Walcott looked a world beater, perhaps we should have kept him & not bothered with Ryan Fraser. (Tongue in cheek comment).
We live in hope that RM comes to his senses & stops playing this crazy possession game. |
