Gotta love the Christian values that the republicans have.

Everyone seemed pretty excited after we played a drowsy Ipswich reserve tesm earlier this year.

Under Rodgers the good stuff was high pressing and scoring goals by forcing opposition into errors in yheir jalf and being direct when we won it. The terrible times under Rodgers when he changed it up aftwr we got dicked by Liverpool. The ultimate point was him bemoaning our lack of possession and control when we were 3-0 up at half time against West Brom, we finished the game 3-0 and he was chuffed with the 2nd half. He became more obsessed with having the ball and being risk averse than being energetic and direct.

I like watching him play, it'd think he will continue to grow. He'd probably suit a more direct team as he seems to want to progress the ball up the pitch and willing to take risks.

To be fair I dont mind him saying we've been shit. We have been. His point is totally irrelevant though as he has been able to basically build his own squad using funds unavailable to any other club, bar maybe Wednesday. Id love to see him in international management. He could take a country on a generational losing streak with the time he apparently needs to make his teams not look well below their standard. Cant believe the club have thrown the kitchen sink at this season and decided Martin was the man to ensure an average job is done. Getting promoted under Martin would be grim as I fancy there wouldnt be much money to play with and we would just be taken apart on a weekly basis. Im just spouting random thoughts at this point that have no relevance to this post ive quoted haha.

I cant help but just see a young Luke Thomas when I watch Watson.

I hope McCarron is livid at this deal. It's funny to a point watching mentally challenged people try to run a football club, but at some point I'd love us to be a respectable football club again. Still remember Paul Mcguiness joining to oversee the academy and he got out asap

He's 26 and nobody seemed to want him due to his injury issues, obviously jobs for the boys Russ has sorted him out though. 3 years is a long contract for someone in that position. A deal till June with an option to extend would have been the logical move.

Pretty sure he's talking about the dodgy deal we had in 2013/2014 where a company called Trestellar, was created in 2014, bought the marketing/licensing rights to Leicester City and then sold them to King Power, who happened to be our owners. It helped reduced our losses to a level where we could argue we were within the rules.

People mentioning he was an important part of a Southampton team that got promoted to the Premier league... Have any of you stopped to consider why Southampton, of the championship, have released such a great player coming into his prime years? And why is such a great player not now playing for a Prem/top end champ club? A 3 year contract is absolutely bananas. It's genuinely like someone is playing FM and purposefully trying to make as many potentially destructive decisions as possible.

Modern football at it's finest

"Super computer" clearly doesn't have a manager variable in the alogorithm

Only one I was certain of last night was an Asp win. Woodhouse is improving but he'd have had to put in a career best to get close to Aspinall atm. Lovely seeing Joyce progress. Based on Noppert's distraction by the floor, it Looks like Gilding and Bunting loosened the boards Tuesday night Clayton was unbelievable, that first set especially was ridiculous. If Wessel can find a way to bring his floor form to majors he'll be a big problem for any player. Gezzy was on fire and Ross Smith didn't bring his A game unfortunately. Enjoying it overall, but once again a small minority of the crowd wanting to be the main character really do spoil it at times. Shrieking at a player just as they're about to throw a big dart is so utterly dumb.

Yeah it does, I assumed we were playing them this Tuesday To try and save a bit of face...I'd rather watch a repeat of the darts than either of the footballing options

Well happy for Woody, Littler well below par. Probably lost a bit of that extra battling spirit and concentration with the clean sweep no longer on. Also hes probably secretly happy he can watch the Super League final on saturday now Been a good night of darts, although 6pm feels like it was about 6 days ago now haha

Good start to the grand prix tonight! Great comebacks by Aspinall and Smith. Hoping Joyce can do the biz v MVG

World grand prix darts, the superior option

I like the chairs that are definitely suitable for u12s in the picture.

Third times the charm!

Was literally just about to post something along these lines and you've done me!

I think a £50m fine and a slap on the wright oughta do it.

My main concern with Martin is what comes after this season to be honest. It'd be a huuuuuuge failure if he didn't get this team up given that the academy has given him 3 or 4 starters that are more than good enough in this league and he's also been well backed in the transfer/loan market. If we don't go up, the budget will surely be slashed as the last of our Premier league money disappears. If we do go up, we'll be a relatively small fish in the Championship. Essentially I can't imagine he will have the same massive advantage next season. When he doesn't have a massive advantage over the rest of the league (or even when he does - see Rangers) his awful football will be found out big time. There's just 3 managers I can't stand in English football. Brendan Rodgers, Russell Martin and Nathan Jones. If we do end up sacking Russ and Nathan Jones somehow ends up here, i'm going to be sick.

Yeah heard the same thing when I went to go and watch Coalville v Anstey Town at Nonads ground. Don't really get it myself. I know their ground floods but it'll be a shame for them to move out of Anstey
