The point was more posters like BSB, SBD, Shmmee and others have compared leaving the ECHR with authoritarianism, Russia and North Korea get invoked. This is characteristic of the liberal-left as a whole btw. I was causing mischief by bringing up the ECHR tbf to highlight some ‘inconsistencies’...

Has it? Thomas scored a dumb own goal for the leveller. Other than that, we let Boro have 1 big chance and they 2 shots on target. The second half v WBA and the whole of the Boro games were good defensive performances. Lampard seems to have shrugged off the OG as a mistake ‘it happens’. KKH...

Is Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde with us at present? 😂

Is that why the likes of Mark Goldberg do? I don’t understand the appeal of watching someone’s reactions to watching a live event. If you’re interested in football, go to your local football stadium or down the local pub and watch the game in a social environment.

The limbs for that was impressive but considering it was 2-1, felt ridiculously tinpot. Even some of the remarks where they reckon they battered us? We have more shots, more shots on target, higher xG with 5 less touches in the box. Had it not been for Thomas’ own goal, we’d have won 3 or 4-1.

I still think we need to sign 1-2 wingers. Last night we were quite lucky in the sense that we could switch to a 5-2-3 or something with KKH as a WB. Otherwise, I did feel we would’ve struggled to change things up in a 4-2-3-1. This is why we have the January transfer window and we’ll go for...

Let’s be honest, the first few games were a bit of a write off too! It’s also worth pointing out that we didn’t win an away game after Oxford at the start of March. Our home form under Lampard has been elite. The CBS is fortress and this season I cannot see us dropping off at home to fuck this...

I’m not going to smell my own farts on this one, the players have all surpassed expectations. Even Torp, I felt like he could have a big year and that probably looks like 5-10 goals over 46 games… he should get 10-12 this season which just top work. Fair play to Lampard, he deserves all the...

Right so, because there’s a backlog, it’s justifiable to upend centuries of civil liberties? Using that logic, perhaps the temporary suspension of the refugee convention and withdrawal of the ECHR is justified? After all, it seems like we’ve established that we can curtail certain rights and...

Simms was also carrying injuries back then. Last season, despite BTA and Simms underperforming to historical lows in their careers, their goals in the Jan-Feb winning streak were instrumental in getting us to the playoffs. Perhaps it was copium in the summer, but this period suggested to me...

66 points is to get to 90 points is 22 wins from 29. It’s technically doable but it’s not likely imo. Without getting too carried away, they beat QPR, Sheff W, Charlton and Leicester. The manner of the last 2 wins were genuinely impressive and given the xG table, I believe that Southampton will...

I was talking about the Prem specifically and so were you up until you made the strange comment ‘why do you pretend football doesn’t exist outside the PL?’ I’m talking about ticket prices, not transfer fees/wages. Again, the relationship between the Prem clubs and FFP is driving up ticket...

For Southampton to get to 90 points, they need to average 2.27 points per game for 29 games. That’s a bit optimistic, for context, we’re tracking in 2.35 right now. Ipswich need 2.2 whereas we need to average little over 1.72.

Fuck it, 9. I can’t see us losing atm and it will come, just as it did v Wrexham…

Teams in the Championship are chasing the money in the Prem. The teams charging £35+ for tickets, have the most expensive squads in the league are towards the top of the table… they’re chasing the riches of the Premier League.

The backlog is a pretext to make the change. It’s quite ironic seeing a fundamental right outlined in our laws since the Magna Carta be taken away despite the HRA and ECHR. Forget optics, it’s just a terrible idea full stop. The ECHR is not a left v right issue just as Brexit wasn’t. Maurice...

Just out of curiosity, is the same crowd outraged at plans to leaving the ECHR as disgusted at Labour’s plans to withdraw the right of trial by jury for many crimes?

Correct and what’s stopping clubs just spending whatever they want? FFP. The role of FFP has done a few distorting things, why is it that we constantly see strange transfers of 10-20m for home grown players? It’s FFP. Back to ticket prices, because total spend under FFP is linked to revenue...

I don’t think there’ll be that much in it to be honest. Rushworth’s stats are slightly better but the margin is slight and overall, we’re much better team defensively this season compared to last. Short memories in football, Dovin was a Top 5 keeper last season and his string of performances...

In the Prem, it’s the pressure of FFP imo because what you can spend is linked to revenue and ticket sales is one of the only guaranteed revenue sources. As football finance analysts point out, in the Prem the TV deals are so large, they don’t need to sell a ticket to break even. Something else...
