Bloody lost to Rosenborg on pens. Proper fumble. Their equaliser was literally the last touch as well.

Cifuentes blew this job from basically that moment. Not strong enough.

The loans in the first place were a red flag and a sign of playing catchup / desperation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but bet the only clubs going up this route in the top flight are the likes of West Ham.

Largely depends if they bottle it like they did away to us. I wouldn't be shocked if they did.

Optimistic.

First trophy in the bag in the form of the Kypello Ellados (Aka Greek cup). Beat Panetolikos, Panathinaikos in the semis then AEK 1-0 in the final. We've finished 2nd in the league, we're good but PAOK are just unstoppably good, four league titles in a row. I've posted a points tally that would compete for the league in normal circumstances but PAOK have dropped points in I think 9 games in 2 seasons. Challenge I set myself is to win the league and the cup before I sod off to another league and do it all over again, this league may take a while. Their squad is ridiculously good though. I'm in the Conference League semis as well. Knocked out AIK of Sweden in the round of 16 and Vitoria Guimaraes in a very tight quarter final. I've got Rosenborg again in the semis which on paper sounds nice but the game against them in the league phase was very tricky and we got lucky to win. Man Utd or Nice in the final. If it's Nice I think I can win it, if it's Man Utd we'll lose though. Would be quite funny if I could win a European trophy before I could win the Greek league.

If you want any proof that it isn't all Faes, take a peak of the Ayew, Winks, Vestergaard, Thomas etc... threads. I'm sorry, but he just isn't that important in the grand scheme to us.

Sorry, was their goal disallowed or something?

As much as you are desperate for this to be the case, Faes isn't actually #1 enemy at the club. Synonymous with this terrible era - yes absolutely. He will never be liked. But he will be forgotten, he's not all that important in this. Plenty of players get it in the neck. Directors get it even more. The owner is starting to get it even more than those. Faes is not particularly relevant to us. He's history.

She's lucky it's Monaco he's gone to. If she's like this based on Foxestalk I dread to imagine her if he'd gone to Lazio or Besiktas.

She's going nowhere. It's a pure hatred at her end. You just know when Monaco beat Bistrot Pierre 1-0 we'll be getting a proper owning on here.

Bloody hell is that her? I've always said I thought Wout Puyol was too good for this place, Monaco have done superbly well to get a player of this calibre. Real Madrid are in trouble next week.

Normally agree with you but not here. He's been largely very poor defender and he hasn't helped himself with some of his antics on the pitch. It won't happen at Monaco because they've signed him due to a defensive injury crisis but I still wonder if his future as a player is in midfield. The bloke hasn't got the defensive instincts for a centre half but I'd at least concede he's quite good on the ball.

I at least thought we'd get rid of her as well. Can never have it all can you.

It's an absolute travesty isn't it really no justice.

He's won here hasn't he bloody hell.

Saw a tweet earlier that Leeds actually get even more.

Look how much Southampton consistently sell absolute crap for despite winning about 5% of top flight games in the last half a decade. We loan El Khannouss out with an option to buy. They sell Mateus Fernandes for more than that loan to buy option fee.

Like I say - same old. Minimal benefit but typical of us. Southampton for all their faults manage to shift absolute dross for loads.

We get a ridiculous number of away draws thinking about it. 2025/26 - 3/3 away 2024/25 - 3/5 away 2023/24 - 5/6 away 2022/23 - 5/7 away 2021/22 - 3/5 away

If one draw summed up both clubs seasons. It's almost beautiful in its shitness.

Haha that is so so bad.

It was never in any doubt with their track record but 12 days into this month and we already know it's just more of the same. Our situation is crap, but with some competent people on board you could still make a better fist of things. Nobody has been moved on despite being frozen out for months. No loans have been agreed despite the ability to bring in another three, possibly four if you had Ramsey gone. It isn't tricky to do. It's just tricky to do when you have idiots involved all over the place who haven't got a clue what they're doing. Which we have. Therefore it becomes tricky for us. Nothing will ever change under this owner. We know the truth. It was obvious after 2022/23 and the most egregious underperformance leading to a relegation ever where people actually continued on as normal that we were heading for nothing other than doom. - Massively incompetent - Zero introspection - Zero ambition To have just one of those is a problem but at least you can fix it. You cannot fix all three under the same regime. Every single effort should be made to forcing them out - no matter what.

Yeah if there was any doubt this dickhead would take us to our lowest ever position there can't be now.
