    Branfoot Out. Hope you bye soon.
    That was a proper protest

    Lawrie McMenemy, that was a protest that failed, the rest is history.

    Didn’t he score that goal not playing as the CF and as a forward playing in the channel

    My post said “if we lose to Blackburn, his position probably becomes untenable”.

    Therefore relating it to the match.

    When did you get appointed as head of the forum police anyway?

    Libby's giving me a lift to this.

    So it's probably worth pointing our our record when Libby and I have travelled to games together isn't good although isn't terrible either - just meh. W0 D3 L1. Although 2 of those draws were decent results in isolation (Ipswich away this season and Brighton away last season).

    Statistically, 1-1 is the bet to place as all 3 of the draws have been 1-1. Or 3-1 Saints as that will cancel out the 3-1 loss at Bristol City 2 seasons ago. Fingers crossed for the latter!

    Sorry, I was referring to the rest of the message, it won't be a shock if he gets the boot, but I don't think it will be a solution at this stage. I am happy for the Mods to do their stuff, doesn't need my input to influence them.

    There’s a good omen in there somewhere. 0 3 1 is unbalanced so after this match 1 3 1 which is symmetrical. An away win it is then!

    Edit: and then if we do win you’ll have to go to the rest in the same car and we’ll get autos - simple!

    It’s more about the technique than the fact he’s standing a couple of metres to the right.

    Gonna throw a bit of positivity into the mixer….

    2-0 Saints. I know we lost 3-1 on Tuesday, but I really don’t think we were all too bad last couple games, albeit some terrible finishing both games & Wood having a shocker against City.

    Just got a feeling we’ll be ok this Sat & lift the mood a bit (finally!!). Can’t see him changing the system this week, so…

    McCarthy,
    Edwards, Wood, THB
    Fellows, Jander, Charles, Wellington
    Arma, Archer, Scienza

    Arma & Scienza to score. COYTMFC!!

    FFS . It's no wonder we can't get a win. It's all loadings fault. <laugh>

    This was my team. Do we actually need a dedicated striker?

    I think scienza would be the most aggressive and active forward.

    I like that team but Wellington seems like a bloody liability atm.

    Now it's nearly here I reckon we'll win this one. A scrappy, unconvincing, 1-0 where we ride our luck almost the entire second half.

    Which I will absolutely take.

    Although on the other hand, Blackburn have only picked up one point at home at home all season meaning they're due a win, which being a Saints fan worries me somewhat.

    Wasn’t it Blackburn who were beating Ipswich and the game was abandoned with like 10 mins to go?

    Yeah, so if we're losing it you look closely at the away end you'll see me doing a rain dance.

    Exactly that. I'd be happy with a scrappy win but yearn for a comprehensive victory. "Worries me somewhat"? You, me and just about every Saints supporter anywhere are jittery.

    How come he didn’t get a ban for telling me “why don’t you **** off”?

    What did you do to get banned?

    I didn’t say that.

    He persisted in arguing about politics on a non-politics thread.
