I know I posted this, but I didn't have time to watch it until now. I like Ralph's attitude...he is ambitious, but also realistic....he seems such a good fit for us. A good coach, but not one that expects us to supply him with fully formed geniuses. He is willing to work to bring out the best in people, but only has time for players willing to join in on his work ethic. My way or the highway. He feels there are players out there that could help us, but they are hard to find at the level we are able to look. So again...no easy fixes, but he's willing to put time in on promising players. This is who we are really and we need a manager that recognises that. Good bit was that he isn't expecting players to knock on his door to leave...he feels that they sense there is something good here, though I'm sure he is aware that things can change. Encouraging from our point of view...has always been annoying when we are really happy and we think the team are happy and then they suddenly leave. Can we for once have a team and a manager that hang around long enough to make something good.
I should have said "I'm expecting a very similar result tomorrow". I not expecting much from Charlie or Dusan.
For those going make sure you get Franny's name heard loud and proud, not only does he deserve it but it will bring a bit of extra attention it as well. Last away too so there's normally some sort of theme with the fans, someone on social media should tweet the club asking them to knock up some Franny masks to hand out at the ground I'm not going which seems to have always improved our chances this season () and fancy us to finish our away campaign in style against a West Ham side who've been sleepwalking for a couple of weeks now, going for a 2-0 to to the boys in red and white...

I loved the 3-1 win at Upton Park not long after Koeman took over when Morgan scored a brace and Graziano finished them off. I knew that we were going to be ok that season after that match.
They've probably got a few left over... Failing that, a few thousand Freddie Mercury taches might suffice... please log in to view this image
I went last season for my first visit to the Taxpayers Porn Baron Benefit Stadium. Pretty **** day that was, best forgotten really.
It's Star Wars Day and our business is nine years old today so let's have a hat-trick with a win against the "any old" Irons. Vin
Match day, stoked! This represents a really strange one for me. This must be the first game in 18 months where there's no pressure on us. And because of that, I feel the pressure! WHU look really good at the moment, near full strength & motivated. This is going to be a tough ask. I can see both teams scoring, with us maybe coming back to snatch a 2-2. uts
I said earlier and I still believe it; we have no pressure on us. We've looked like a scared team for a long time but today I think we're going to open up our shoulders, play confidently and hammer (sic) them. Vin
After a pretty tense couple of weeks I think the pressure is off even though it would be nice to pick up sufficient points to overtake Burnley at the very least. I think most football afnas will be looking towards the other end of the table to see who will win the league. I think Liverpool can count themselves unfortunate that their best team in years look likely to lose to what is probably the greatest footballing team in the history of the Premier League. Man City have been awesome and I think the manner in which they play tends to generate more admirers than detractors. I hope that Saints do not peter out in the last two games and that they are used as opportunities to see what might happen next season. I don't think West Ham away is an easy match. Looking at the league table, it is possible that Cardiff could go down with 31 points. I was wondering what the lowest point tally was since three points for a win for the final relegation place. Potentially, in what was a 50% woeful season for Saints, we could be fifth from bottom and still be over ten points clear. I don't think 18/19 has been a classic season but wondered if it was the worst for the points tally of the three teams who got relegated. Granted Ralph deserves some credit, but the current bottom three teams have been abject this year. I think this also accounts for the high points tally at the top of the table too. If anyone has the answer, it would be interesting.
I'm sure that our 'football afnas' will give a good account of themselves, snignig their haetrs out against Wset Hma
