    I’ve never muffed a mule. Someone had to give the punchline.

    If you read my posts i made no such statement. I have twice said we won't finish that low down.

    You said he was meeting expectations. Equates to the same thing.

    No it doesn't. I said that it will take time for Still to sort the team out. We may have ro slip down to 20th before we see improvements. Saints will finish up much higher but atill a long way off the play offs.

    The parachute payments for relegated PL clubs create a totally unfair dynamic in the Championship. I don't have a better idea but it's plain as the nose on your face that said payments create a colossal advantage. Expectation for a relegated team is always immediate promotion. Always. Suggesting otherwise is utterly bizarre.

    Been reading everything with interest. A few comments on how the club/Sports Republic have basically been silent......I've just sussed it, they are so incompetent, idiotic and utterly confusing, they're going to sack him on Friday aren't they?

    Have people forgotten that Ian is as mad as a goose? In the nicest way possible.

    I mean, honestly, I'm 51 now, so I can't be accused of being either young (sadly) or impatient (some would say I'm a happy clapper).

    But we're talking about taking our best attacking player off for Jack ****ing Stephens.

    We talk about getting the crowd behind you, and how important the "twelfth man" of the crowd is. That's correct too. But there is nothing in the world that boosts a crowd's support than bringing on a hugely talented, home grown 18 year old for his debut. That is what gets supporters going (even if you make other mental subs), but no, you bring on Ryan oh let's call him "Wee Man" to make him more amenable Fraser, who has recently had the same impact on football matches as my poetry had when I was 14 on the complete works of T.S.Eliot.

    Now I really want Will Still to work out. I'd love it. But man, seriously, help us to help you.
