Uncle Monty

Why?

It's mental it's come to this. I'm trying to find middle ground with people voting for Trump but the majority seem like insane cultists.

No problem pal, think I'm in overdrive today. I'm about over thinker by nature.

I agree with this but it was an honest question to ask. What is the perception of the election in the UK?

I don't believe the polls after the Hilary election when they predicted a big win for her.

Something that I've also asked myself and I'm lucky that I'm a white man. I have to deal with my wife's constant anxiety over women's rights being restricted which impacts my mental health. Seeing women in other states die due to abortion complications also gives me anxiety. I have a whole list of mental health related stuff too. Anyway, I asked for something Trump will do that will cheer me up, not give me another panic attack!

US resident here. Shitting myself over another Trump presidency. Somebody please tell me something positive about him coming in so I can have something to look forward to. Unfortunately, I genuinely think he's going to win.

Felt like we were at least trying to give it a go. Sadly, we are just not that good. I'm at least satisfied that trailing a goal we weren't just trapping the ball on the half way line and passing it back to the keeper. There was a bit of fight but just not enough quality. I live in hope we just have more quality than at least 3 more clubs come the end of the season we can build upon.

Was surprised at how reasonable they were honestly. Not to take anything away from our result, as I can't remember the last time I jumped off my sofa so high (and also woke up my pregnant wife who was taking a nap) but I couldn't help feeling for the saints fans (after watching those vids) given how many times we have been on the end of one of those.

The saints fans seem alright tbh. Quite an honest bunch who most seem to dislike Martin They even had a Leicester fan on and treated him nicely. That being said, I hope they keep Martin.

I'm not a massive fan of Cooper or trying to defend him but: F#ck xg **** possession stats While we're at it F$ck psr **** var They are all, in my opinion, ruining football.

+1 for this. Also live in the US - and am interested. Think I asked you last time how much but completely forgotten.

Just listened to the Under the Cosh pod with Albrighton and he talked about McLeish coming in at Villa and that it was never going to work as the fans were against him from the start. Seems there are some parallels here. Nice bloke and all but sometimes things aren't a good fit.

Kinel that is pretty cold.

The ref also wasn't having any of it IIRC.

Unbelievable Jeff!

The bit about Clive Clarke was interesting and sounds like it really took a toll on him. At the time I remember being quite shocked but as he pulled through didn't think too much more of it. I have heard him speak about it before and how everyone genuinely thought he was dead in the dressing room. He certainty paints a picture of the scene and sounds like a nice bloke for what he did. Football aside he sounds like a mad bastard but a genuine good person.

Great pod. Refreshing to hear how open and honest Martin was. What a mental period.

Wouldn't you be happy if more people where on the Cooper out bandwagon?

I've given him a chance but sad to say it doesn't appear to be a good fit. On the evidence we've seen it just doesn't look like it's working out. I hope I'm proven wrong and he takes us to great success.

It hasn't.

The article reads that some players don't like Cooper because he is too relaxed and also didn't like Enzo because he was too bossy. Jesus, they just need to get over themselves and play football.

I thought Weale was pretty good in the championship and felt nice finally having someone you knew was going to start. I think after Ian Walker we had about million different shit keepers until Weale came in. Maybe that is reasoning enough to remember him fondly. Still scarred by the Kevin Pressman blunder. I remember being excited by Ricardo but then very disappointed 😂. Things definitely got better once Kasper came in.

Id be interested to see/hear from fans from other clubs to see how we compare.
