Right, consider this as me resurfacing after 15 months of madness. What's going on? New Saints shirt gets my vote because I don't shudder when I look at it. What's the verdict on Downs? Probs still not playing FPL, as I'm out of the loop. I see Chelsea have bought their 419th fwd.

This is terrible to hear and I hope he pulls through ok. This underlines (yet again) the PL's lack of interest in player safety. The late offside flags need to stop (so many avoidable injuries) and there needs to be more care about releasing a player back onto the pitch after a serious collision.

Thanks so much to everyone who supported our fundraising efforts. The guys completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks on Sunday and have so far raised over £4,500 for Sheffield Children's Hospital. All made possible because of the generosity of so many ♥️ www.justgiving.com/page/sophies...

Remember the time we sold this guy because he didn't match the manager's style, only to sack said manager within 6 months. But don't worry, SR know what they're doing.

You know we had a period a while back when people said they were struggling to discern reality from satire? We've now got to the point where reality is so crazy/terrifying that it's gone the other side of satire. People would say anything fictional of this nature was just in bad taste.

I'm trying to piece together some of the names popping up on the Just Giving page and thank you all personally. I'm not always managing to work it out, and some of you have chosen to be anonymous, so if I haven't been able to thank you, THANKS SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is just a friendly reminder that it's 261 days since #saintsfc agreed compensation with United for Wilcox. But hey, it's not like SR have got a track record for lunatic decisions when the DoF/recruitment post isn't filled. January 2023 is a shining example. 😳

Having now matched Thierry Henry, Salah 'only' needs 13 more goals this season to go clear fourth in the all-time PL goalscorers list (2 to Lampard, 9 to Aguero, 12 to Cole). At the rate he's going this season and with his ridiculously good injury record, you'd really fancy him to do it...

Juric seems to be basically everything Russell Martin isn't. And you can say that's a good idea because the results weren't there but what the hell does that say about the overarching strategy? We tore everything up to go after Martin and now we're starting again... again.

So #saintsfc are employing a manager known for aggressive high pressing (so a complete change in style) for a 6 month stint, when we already know how that stint finishes - in relegation. I don't see much logic in it, aside from 'he's free'. SR have made it very obvious they weren't ready, imo.

I don't believe for a second that sacking him is going to make a difference to survival but I guess they'd have looked borderline negligent to let it continue. It's a shame it didn't work out.

Time and time again, Jack Stephens has lapses, whether that be in temper or concentration, which prove he should be nowhere near a PL football team. I've had enough.

I get we have suspensions but that starting XI doesn't feel like it makes the best of what limited quality is available. Not that it'll make much difference either way. #saintsfc

If players are taking controversial stands on social issues because of their religion, I expect them to be consistent. Football is a sport full of more problematic topics - gambling, alcohol, human rights etc. Without their objections to those issues, religion just sounds like an excuse.

Just logged onto Facebook (I know, should have known better) and saw a load of Karens legitimising Gregg Wallace's actions because 'much worse things happened in the 80s'. Ladies, society has moved on and that's good. Expecting better is good. Calling out creeps is good. Stop complaining.

Now in full 'laugh or you'll cry' territory. I *think* a different manager probably gets more points on the board than Martin but I don't think anyone keeps this lot up. And I don't know if Martin is the right man for going again next season, as we were incredibly lumpy last season. Sigh.

The absolute brass knackers on Sky Sports and Football running this campaign where the past few years have been some of the worst for footballers committing violence against women and girls. Sure you’ve got to start somewhere but maybe that’s at home, within your clubs and their culture.
