Our full backs aren't great at defending so maybe until bree is fit he thinks this is the best way to grind out a result. THB and Quarshie first touch was terrible constantly putting themselves under pressure - hopefully they can fix that in training. |

Reply | Racist Liverpool fan abuses Semenyo
at 11:46 16 Aug 2025
If the FA/EPL really cared they'd dock Liverpool points - this would stop it pretty quickly. If the police/courts cared they'd make a massive example of this individual. The combination of points deductions and meaningful legal repercussions would make clubs ensure no away fans get into home ends (ie trying to get a rival team a points deduction - plus solve a sore point that has existed for years) and it would deter any morons from doing it.
Seems pretty simple but all comes down to whether they really care about it that much or not. More likely they (teams and EPL) are more worried they might not make as much money if they make it restrictive/come down on a top team with huge global following. |

I think you're 100% spot on Semmens was in the proverbial "turkey voting for Xmas" spot. I think he was hoping to be kept on but probably knew he was punching well above his weight and would be cast aside. His salary was about GBP 1 mn, so every month he dragged it out he made another 83 grand. |

At the risk of being absolutely eviscerated for suggesting it (and maybe 25 years out of the country has left me soft) but won't two games vs Pompey next year be something that will get the team and supporters reengaged after a miserable season this year? |

It's amazing how we've got to this state. Appointing Jones, spending $40mn on Sulemana and Tall Paul was the start of a comedy of amateurish ownership errors. We'll sell dibbling and anyone else we can this Jan as they try and recoup what cash they can then I fear we'll be stripped and put up for sale. Well then have another charlatan wannabe ownership group try to apply their second tier MBAs and hubris into "outsmarting" everyone else. Don't see the fun times under Poch and Koeman ever returning... |

ABK will be back in contention. Stephens clearly sucked up to RM and was the mole that ratted out anyone that spoke out against the philosophy of turning saints into man city through possession within the 18 yard box. Can't see him having a future with us now. He has made a fortune from being a mediocre football player, fair play to him for playing the (financial side of the) game so well. |

Reply | Ramsdale & KWP back against Fulham
at 17:06 22 Dec 2024
That game sums up how poor Russell Martin was and how the squad carried us through the playoffs not the tactics. Fulham are a good side and by not messing around at the back and in the middle of the park we kept a clean sheet. We have to accept what we are and that's a bottom 5 or 6 squad and play to the strengths we have to grind out results like today. If we get a couple more results over the Xmas period and play to we have rather than a pie in the sky philosophy we might make a fist of it |

Ever notice that where wee man goes his nemesis Eddie Howe follows? Clearly a crack pot idea but would be amusing if Newcastle wanted someone like potter but didn't want to have to pay Howe out and now we offer them an elegant solution and Wee man goes straight to training with the U16s... |

I'll go for something along the lines of " the players have obviously made a decision the way they played that first half". And "playing my way got us promoted, it's madness they wanted to abandon that". And " I have a contract I intend to see it out or be paid out" |

It was THB trying to tap is sideways to wood rather move I into the acres off space to his right that was the mistake. That is due to the manager insisting on stupid tippy tappy at the back. Nice of him to throw his third string keeper under the bus though rather than admit he's a total busted flush |

RM post match bingo card:
"So proud of how brave the players were"
"Anyone can see we're improving and we could've won that"
"Jack Stephens isn't suspended, we win that"
"Villa looked scared" |

We have no chance of winning or even drawing playing like this. Martin says he won't compromise on his philosophy, surely the ownership either doesn't want to win any games or does not understand a single jot about football. Complete waste of a Saturday morning watching this nonsense.
If no one shows up to the next couple of home games, a full boycott, that would send the message. We really need ownership that actually understands football. |

He should resign out of sheer embarrassment as to how poorly his playing style is at this level and how he has no alternative way to adapt to the teams he's now playing. His entire stewardship is summed up by the bone headed actions of the player he made Capetian and then consistently shoe horned into the team despite often being the worst defender in any given game. |

Surely they'll sack Martin for this. He's on so much borrowed time right now, this performance at the back sums up he has lost it |

Camera just paaned to Martin giving dibbling instructions. Dibbling looking very confused and shrugging his shoulders. Guessing it was something like "Tyler, our goal is that way stop running towards the other one" |
