ultimately governments are failing to protect people from corporate greed leaving many in desperate situations. democracy doesn't seem to be solving the issue - it matters not who is in power, corporations are left to bleed people dry; monopolies, extortion, price-gouging, etc. continue unchecked. can't say I'll lose too much sleep as the 99% rise up and the 1% start to get their comeuppance - it's been a long time coming.

Unless he's going to magic 11 players out of his arse that know how to kick a football then I doubt much is going to change.

Formation not helping us but the fact that most of our players are actually brain-dead and haven't got an ounce of footballing intelligence between them doesn't help. Anyone who thinks this squad is anything other than bottom half relegation battlers needs their head examining.

Just whack it in mixer and get a big head on it like the good old days then we can all get back on the loom down the factory

Honestly couldn't tell you the last time the majority of foxestalk was happy about ANYTHING.

BUT EEE WUZ BORIN

Football manager in knowing more than fans shocker 😁

Thought we did alright tbf. We went to a desperate Southampton side, they were hardly just going to roll over. Second half we looked decent and caused them plenty of problems. I swear some people won't be happy until we steam-roll every single team in the division from minute one for the entire 90 mins and I'm sure even then they'd find something to moan about. Also, team spirit looks good and if we manage to keep that up then that's worth points on the board all day long. Hopefully Cooper learns a few more things from this game and now the away win monkey is off the back we can go on to get a few more.

Didn't actually think the first half was all that awful tbh, but plenty of people had made their mind up they wanted some awful to moan about before we even kicked off. Unfortunately for them we came out in the second half and have them something to be begrudgingly happy about. First half looked like a side trying to find it's bearings in a nervy atmosphere at home to a side who everyone had already written us off against. We did look to hoof it a fair bit but there were much better patterns of play in the second half. Thought we looked reasonably solid when defending. Not bad, not bad at all. Approach most games like we did in the second half and we may actually be ok.

All things considered I expected us to look worse tbh.

Quick, something new to rage at, go!

Poster can see existing threads open where topic would fit and be discussed. Poster has heightened sense of self-importance so creates new thread anyway. The foxestalk way.

it could well be - but people would do well to have multiple sources of relief from grief or other emotions because if you put all of your eggs into the football basket you're relying on something completely out of your control to help you deal with your problems. football unfortunately is unpredictable and has ups and downs, you've got to take the rough with the smooth. it's not the best source of relief from sadness if you take losing and relegation this hard.

at the end of the day, cut away all of the noise - it's just a simple game. some win, some lose. the vitriol and hate isn't needed at all. people are too obsessed with something that is out of their control. enjoy football - it's just a ball on grass, points on a board. don't let it keep you up at night ffs. the world has got many, many, many more devastating things going on that people are losing sleep over. if football hurts that much, maybe it's time to explore some other avenues - find some hobbies that bring you some peace and relaxation - there's plenty out there. I find the anger on here so tiring.
