Thread | Russell Martin is David Brent times 10
at 07:15 21 Nov 2024
God, this is a cringey watch.
“Rhino”
“Tay”
What we need is a manager with some gravitas, who the players will fear.
What we have is a bloke who just wants to be their highly-paid mate.
God, it almost makes me pine for Hassenhutl.

Reply | Following Man City 's Style is Fundamentally Flawed and Must stop Now
at 12:17 20 Nov 2024
Jan Bednarek's injury means that he will now be overtaken as the Premier League's top passer in terms of number of passes this season.
The fact that we have the most frequent passer and yet are bottom of the League tells you all you need to know about the current methods being an absolute waste of time. |

Reply | Does Shea Charles Prove That Russell Martin's Player Judgement is Flawed
at 10:18 20 Nov 2024
Shea Charles gets stuck in, but I saw more than enough of him last season to see that on the ball he is reminiscent of Carlton Palmer.
In the 1990's a player with abysmal ball control like Carlton Palmer could get away with it, but you get found out pretty quickly in these days if you can't pass the ball 5 yards to one of your colleagues. |

Reply | Such sad news about legendary Dave Watson

I think I read an interview with Dave Merrington that he flagged his concerns to the powers that be, but was strongly advised by the Board at the time to overlook it.
A number of those people would then make a tidy sum out of the Secure Retirement reverse takeover, having conned an elderly shareholder out of his potentially valuable shares (I forget his name, but others with a better memory than me will recall…). |

Point of order.
It has been established on this board that Cup goals don’t count.
It was decreed The Broja Rule, I believe. |

Came on for a cameo role at Cardiff away for all of about 5 minutes, and not been seen since.
I think that he, Ross Stewart and Juan Larios are possibly all allergic to grass. |

We have moved from signing the fastest player at the World Cup to the fastest player in the Johnstone Paints Trophy, or whatever it's called now.
TBF, he can't be any worse than Sulemana. |

Reply | Saints Not Afraid Of Sacking Russell Martin Even If They Have To Pay
at 12:18 14 Nov 2024
There is little point in sacking him if nobody better wants the gig.
The key thing to me is whether Ankersen, Kraft and Parsons will accept that this style of football is destined for failure for us, and that we need a more pragmatic manager who will get us those ugly wins we need to climb the table.
If they are just going to employ another reincarnation of Russell Martin, there is little point in doing it.
I still think they are going to go down the Director of Football route, and that will be all they do this season. [Post edited 14 Nov 12:44]

Reply | Is the suggested Liverpool Cup boycott having an effect ?
at 12:14 14 Nov 2024
That Chelsea semi-final was only 3 days after a crucial League game away up at Leicester, arguably a more important game.
You may remember I drove you to this game and managed to lose my wedding ring during the game, mercifully recovered afterwards.
I thought it was a bigger sin that we only had around 1,000 fans at that game; yes it was a Thursday night in Leicester but we sold out last season when we were pushing for promotion (albeit it didn't look a strong bet that night....).
It is inevitable for us that a moderately successful team will lead to a bigger following. Whereas a hopeless team will attract less support.
I try to be pragmatic about this, and recognise that the only way people can protest nowadays in these sanitised times is simply to stay away. |

Bring back Dennis Rofe.
Top bloke.
Never more than a white polo top regardless of how Arctic the conditions might be. |
