Saints Fan In Peace

Hi all. I come in peace. Just dipped in to see where you all were on the Russell Martin continuum. Have you reached the point yet where he starts doing interviews and people start saying 'actually, he talks really well, maybe I was wrong about him, this could be quite good'? It's the step that usually comes just after 'widespread outrage at the appointment' and just before 'concerning pre-season results caused by gifting the ball in dangerous areas get waved away as 'a natural part of the learning process'. Joking aside though, it will be very interesting to see how he gets on. If he's learned just a tiny bit of humility and willingness to adapt when the circumstances require it, then he might surprise you and you could actually have a very good season to look forward to. If however he's still as exasperatingly stubborn as he's been everywhere else, then you probably know what to expect. Either way, I wish you luck. He gets a lot of stick but there are also some Saints fans who rate him for the promotion season. I'm not personally one of them, but they do exist.
