If Saints and England continue winning like this, you'll be seeking out the nearest cliff. |

Victories for either Saints or England seem to make some people on here very unhappy.
Personally, I'm enjoying supporting 2 winning teams. Saints' first back-to-back victories in more than 550 days + an all-time record of 11 consecutive victories for England = a great set of results.

There has been some really good football, especially from England. I'm already looking forward to the next one at the end of March. |

I saw your flag on the wall of the home end last night. I was just across the corner. facing it, in Block 118. We both had a good view of Eze's goal.
With Saka and Eze on the wings, England, like Arsenal, look very difficult to stop. [Post edited 14 Nov 13:27]

I'll be at Wembley: looking forward to it. It's always a good opportunity to see top class players we don't usually see, like the Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović tonight. |

We could go on naming hundreds of managers who'd never played or managed in England before - some more successful than others. The same goes for internal appointments - Liverpool made a series of them - Paisley, Fagan, Dalglish, Moran etc. The truth is, you just never know until after they get the job.
If Regis Le Bris, for example, had been appointed as our manager instead of Sunderland's, firstly, we wouldn't have had a clue who he was, and then, after reading about him online, we'd all have been up in arms. [Post edited 11 Nov 14:07]

Before he lost his goalscoring centre forward - Danny Ings? Without one, managers reach their wits' end, trying all sorts of things in a desperate attempt to win games. [Post edited 11 Nov 13:25]

He's a good manager, for sure, but would he want to come here?
I like this quote of his: "We want to win high balls". Our current team doesn't seem to win any. |

"The guy has zero experience outside of Denmark. Let alone having any idea about Championship or English football."
That's terrible. He sounds almost as bad as Regis Le Bris did when Sunderland appointed him.

Imagine the outrage there will be on here if we replace a manager with a 100% win record with one who's beeen sacked by his previous club for losing games and then continues to lose here. That's why we shouldn't rush.
Fan prejudices for or against various potential managers shouldn't count; winning games of football is what really matters. [Post edited 11 Nov 10:54]

We certainly need to find out what other teams he can beat. So, he should continue as our interim manager before any final decision is made on who our next permanent manager will be. As long as we're winning, there's no need to hurry. That pool of unemployed managers is always out there, and there's a reason why they're unemployed, which isn't winning games of football. So, I agree, let's not rush to doom ourselves to mediocrity, but we also need to acknowledge that getting our first back-to-back wins in more than 550 days is not a bad start at all.

Do you know what? I know not everyone will agree with this, but I just prefer to see Saints winning games. Long may it continue. I don't see that as a shambles at all. The pool of unemployed managers out there is never going to dry up and they're all unemployed for a reason, which isn't winning games of football. |

Well, we are winning football matches at last and that's what counts. There should be no hurry to stop the winning run, just because the manager and his team selection don't accord with various fans' prejudices. When we're losing, not winning, is the time to change. There are always plenty of unemployed managers out there in need of a job, but you never know whether they'll win games here until after they arrive.
Right now, it seems there are some fans who'd prefer to see us lose rather than win without their preferred choice of manager or team selection. Some are even angry because we're winning. Personally, I think it's great to see the return of those "Saints win; Pompey lose" weekends. It's been a while. [Post edited 10 Nov 12:04]

Nothing. I've never mentioned him in any post. Why? You're not imagining things like shrinking arms again, are you? You should stay off the drugs. 
PS If you trawl back through my posts over the years, looking to see if I've ever mentioned Sam Hoskins, who I wouldn't know if he was standing in front of me, you'll find that I was one of Bazunu's harshest critics when we had a better alternative and, even when we didn't, said we needed a new goalkeeper. The one thing I've never said about him though, is that he's worse than McCarthy because, in my opinion, he isn't. It's a shame we've fallen out over such a trivial issue. It's not as if our opinions on here make any difference in the real world. [Post edited 9 Nov 16:03]

As I never said that, I can't take you seriously either. In fact, another poster, who now posts on Saintweb, started this off by saying I'd said that at least 12 years ago because I praised Calum Chambers. For you to remember what someone else said I'd said more than 12 years ago is pretty weird: a bit like these incredible shrinking arms you see. You might even call it obsessive. I can't even remember any of your posts, let alone posts about you, from a year ago.
All I know is that your impressions of Saints matches come from listening to Radio Solent commentaries.
I have nothing against you personally. You think McCarthy is better than Bazunu and I think the opposite. Personally, I think that Ramsdale is the best goalkeeper on our books and that the best currently in the Championship is Viktor Johansson. [Post edited 9 Nov 14:48]
