Reply | Positives (if only a few)for next year
at 16:01 9 Dec 2024
You're right there have been rumours linking KWP to moving in every transfer window for the last 2 years or more.
I'm not convinced that other clubs rate him as highly as we do, he would have been gone by now if any club were seriously interested in signing him.
He is technically good on the ball but is very dodgy defensively & I think other clubs realise that.
But it could be different in the summer because he can go for nothing. |

Thread | Every Monday I expect to see the news that RM has sacked.
at 14:07 9 Dec 2024
For months now I have been expecting
( wanting) to see an announcement that RM has been sacked.
I am now convinced & resigned to the fact that SR have no intention of sacking him or replacing him.
This reinforces my opinion that SR have settled for relegation & are now preparing for another season in the Championship.
They can then benefit from the Parachute payment & sell off our best players to rake in a few more million in transfer fees.
I actually enjoyed our season in the Championship so am not to concerned about going down again.
But this just typifies the apathy that has been created by SR + RM over the last 12 months.

Thread | Destined to make history by being worst ever team in Premier Lge.
at 08:17 9 Dec 2024
Unless we improve dramatically then we will go down in history as the worst ever Premier Lge team.
Let's look at the facts.
1) we have the worst owners in the lge.
2) we have the worst Manager / Coach in the lge.
3) with Ramsdale out we have the worst goalkeepers in the lge.
4)we have the worst defence in the lge.
5) we have the worst midfield in the lge.
6) we have by far the worst attack in the lge.
Individually not all are the worst players in the lge but collectively as a team we are the worst.
The only thing going for the club at the moment is that us fans have stuck with them.
There's no way that we can be considered as the worst fans in the lge.
We deserve better from our club than we are getting right now. |

There is a cheap option.
Get rid of Martin & appoint Adam Lallana as interim coach until the end the season.
Lallana has got far more experience of what is required in Premier Lge.
We know we're going down regardless of who is manager/ Coach but let's at least go down fighting.
Lallana could not do any worse than Martin.
In fact I don't think I could do any worse than Martin. |

I said this in a previous post.
We are are weaker team now than when we got relegated two years ago.
Didn't think this was possible but we have a worse manager now & a squad of players not equipped to play in the Premier Lge.
The club is in freefall under these owners. |

I'm not sure we'll ever see Tall Paul again.
They intend to sell him Iin January so don't want to risk getting him injured.
And if he's got any sense he'll want to get out, he's been treated really badly by our club.
He'll move on & score lots of goals abroad & we'll never know what he could have done for us. |

Get your point, but managers also need to listen to their players & coaching staff.
I'm not sure that RM is prepared to take advice from others, that is part of the problem, his stubbornness will be his downfall. |

Classic case of if you don't suck up to RM you don't get a game.
All players should be selected based on their ability & their impact on the game not just because they are one of your mates. |

The training session consists of 2 hours RM telling them how good he is & then 2 hours of him telling them how proud he is of each of them & how he loves them all.
Perhaps he could try showing them what a goal looks like & getting them match fit.
We have not looked fit enough all season, hence that's why we lose concentration & concede goals very late in the game. |

Thread | THB defending RM's insistence on playing Tippy Tappy out from the back.
at 09:45 6 Dec 2024
Taylor Harwood Bellis has gone public with comments saying that the style they are playing is what they the players want.
He backs RM's insistence on playing tippy tappy out from the back because as footballers that what they want.
Come off it THB , footballers want to win matches & this ridiculous method of possession football doesn't win matches for us (it might for some teams but not us).
If he is happy to continue losing matches & inevitably getting relegated then we're doomed.
Or is he just saying this to appease RM.

Ralph had lost his way & run out of ideas when he was sacked.
But you should only ever get rid of a Manager when you've got a better one to bring in.
Just look at the list of rubbish Managers
( or coaches as they are now known) that we have had since Ralph left.
In hindsight (which is a wonderful thing) we should have stuck with Ralph.
But the root of the problem is not the Managers, it is the Owners SR who are incapable of running a successful football club.
Until we get new owners ( no chance of that in the near future) we'll be in decline.
Us loyal fans / supporters deserve better. |

Disgraceful behaviour from Slack Jack.
Alright it wasn't a sending off offence, but what an idiotic thing to do.
He's not just useless he's stupid too.
2nd sending off in a couple of months he is not a good example & should immediately have the Captaincy taken away from him. |

Thread | No Tall Paul against Chelsea.
at 18:25 4 Dec 2024
Tall Paul not even on the bench tonight against Chelsea.
Perhaps the rumour that RM is not allowed to risk him getting injured because the club intend to sell him in January is correct.
That would confirm that SR prioritise profit over results.

Do any of us really think we've got any chance of beating Chelsea tonight.
5 good reasons why we're likely get stuffed. Look at the facts.
1) We may have to use 4th choice Goalkeeper Joe Lumley ( Ramsdale injured + McCarthy injured + Bazuna injured).
2) possibly only one regular ctr back available & that is Slack Jack ( THB suspended & possibly Bedders still out injured)
3) our only defensive holding midfield player FD out suspended .
4) creative midfield player Lallana out injured
5) our best attacking player TD out suspended.
If RM can pull this one off then I for one will be very surprised & will applaud him for doing so.
I know football is a "funny old game" & shock results do happen, I just hope we make it happen tonight. |

Not sure that will happen Grumps.
I think Tall Paul will be sold in January.
I hope I'm wrong because I still think he could be a very affective striker for us given the chance. |

I know they can't, but if refs were to let the game go on when players go down then those players would very soon get back up. |
