So you were not paying attention and were not keeping a safe braking distance. Straightforward case of your insurance meeting the full costs. But pleased you are OK.
No person is irreplaceable. Not the Queen, President Trump (especially him) or Putin nor the boy who cleans the tables in McDonalds and neither are you or me. Hughes has the worst points per game record of any Saints Premier League manager. He has to go but only once Reed and Krueger have been replaced otherwise nothing will change.
You've not mentioned Bale, but there seemed to be quite a few within a couple of seasons and now its really dried up. I guess if you are a Championship team it must seem less of a risk to promote academy players, and also if you are short of cash you have to promote them, but the money we have wasted on dross speaks of absolute incompetence in our recruitment policy
One of the worst sporting days of my life when the Falcons lost the SB, then Georgia loses to Alabama in the College National Championship the same season, and with the Saints struggling, it was doom and gloom
Meh, bigger picture. Protests will only make a difference if we get the media on side. They're not gonna be interested in a couple of hundred people stood outside shouting at the main entrance. They can't ignore something that they're already broadcasting.
Back to the match and I'm still fuming with Armstrong after him watching him barely jog back as they broke for thr sixth and then just putting his hands on his knees as it went in... he'd only been on the pitch for 5 minutes or so. I can accept us being **** but he's paid bloody good money to represent this football club and full effort is the absolute minimum required. Regardless of whether the game is gone or not, for a midfielder to not even track back as the freshest player on the pitch is disgraceful imo. I hope he spends the rest of his days in a smack filled Glasgow squat. ****house, don't need players like that especially at the moment.
Chambers was regularly keeping Nathaniel Clyne out of the team when he was with us, but went backwards the minute he arrived st Arsenal.
Clyne disappeared when he went to Liverpool too. Chambers of that season would probably be ahead of Cedric for us now.
Really glad to hear that's the only result. Take it easy for a while - car crashes put strain on that can take a while to show up. Vin
Yeah to be fair to Large Sam, he did do one good thing at Everton last year, which was stop us from accidentally buying Theo Walcott for £20m.
Walcott, Ox, Bale, Lallana, JWP , Chambers, Shaw all broke into the first team before we got to Premier League. We all know it’s more difficult now though Hesketh, Reed, Sims, Gallagher, Obefomi, Stephens McQueen, Gape and Targett have all debuted and most are being tracked by bigger clubs. Four are regulars in lower divisions and 2 are fairly regular for us. Whatever the opposite of rose tinted glasses are, a couple of bad performances does tend to give a poor outlook on life.
The biggest question though so far this season is where has Dell gone? Les Reed went into hiding long ago, but now even his alias has ****ed off
No kidding, just made the mistake of bending down to pick something up off the floor. Christ that was a painful mistake.
Removing hughes wont solve the fundamental problems at the club. I suspect there are better managers than hughes that we could attract but the quality of our squad is poor and this slide into the new Sunderland has been at least 2 years in the making.
Football doesn't stand still, especially with the money swirling around the PL these days. I said it more than two years. We could never just "wait and see" how things went. 12 months in football is a long time, and you don't want to get into a slump. For me, it will always go back to the summer of 2016 (so actually, even less than your 3 to 4 seasons ago - although I appreciate that for some, it does go back further, to the loss of Cortese). Decision after decision we've continued to get wrong since summer 2016, and that has just made things even worse. But if we'd got it right in the summer of 2016(and don't forget, we were coming off the back of our best ever PL season; our stock could hardly have been higher), what has followed might never have happened. It was clear at the time that we messed up that summer, in my view, and it's been clear ever since. So yes, the slump has been alarming. But it shouldn't surprise anyone. You stand still, you go backwards. (That was arguably the case as long ago as 2004/05. Failure to back Strachan ultimately led to us going from top four to the Championship in 18 months.)
