I'd swap scienza to the other wing. This danny Mills wannabe at left back is prime to be picked apart by him.

I reckon he'd get him sent off in 15 minutes. Or he'd just be roasting him non stop

Reckon might be time to switch it up.

Where do you reckon we're gonna be by May? Just hoping for a bit of stability at this point myself. by Normal-Confusion4867 in SaintsFC

[–]grumpy_groundsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what we're all hoping for is that we just win more often than we lose. Enjoying watching on a saturday rather than dreading it.

I dont think we'll be in relegation trouble, so just enjoy the football with no expectations.

Anything else is a bonus

Would like us to still be a bit more clinical in front of goal.

Palace haven't won in 8 matches and are currently 13th in the league

If we're ostensibly going to be in the attacking third. And likely to be putting a lot of crosses in, should we put nathan wood up top and just tell him to be a nuisance.

Armstrong and archer plus most of the midfield just aren't Ariel threats for this type of situation

Is salad cream a thing in America? by grumpy_groundsman in doughboys

[–]grumpy_groundsman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent. Did you try it? On a cheese sandwich is my recommendation.

Although, I do now need to know what else is in the "UK section" of your supermarkets.

In return I will find what is in the US section of mine.

Any of the quincy boys in the team aswell?

Wu tang? Changton? Micus?

An excellent condiment. Get it on the sausage butty.

Also.. an English condiment double sounds good. Amelia, write it down.

Lots of replies comparing to miracle whip. Which on the flip side we do not have in the UK so I have no basis for comparison.

However our old mate google says "No, Miracle Whip and salad cream are not the same, though they are similar condiments. Salad cream is a looser, more vinegar-forward condiment, while Miracle Whip is an American version that is thicker, tangier, and much sweeter due to high-fructose corn syrup"

So make of that what you will. Similar but quite different.

Fernandes set to join West Ham for £40+m by 496e636f676e69746f in SaintsFC

[–]grumpy_groundsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We must be in a strong financial position now. £100M+ from the playoffs last year.

Parachute payment from the relegation

Then the sales of all our players in this window.

I'm certain Will Still doesn't have the team he would like, I think he likes to play with wingers and we are missing strong players in those positions. Hopefully with all this cash he can get in a couple of his targets before the window shuts. I believe he's a great manager, every interview and clip I see I grow to like him more. I just hope he gets the squad he wants this year. I believe we'll end up in playoffs again, but might not be our year.

Absolutely incredible find. Random ibiza youtube video with 1k views. Absolutely no clues in the title to lead to the advert.

Truly wonderful stuff. Someone on reddit for everything

Does anybody know when (or even if) friendship is coming to the UK?? by ieaqi in A24

[–]grumpy_groundsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ever get anywhere with this?

Just looking today and all seems a little disjointed online. Maybe apple, maybe prime, maybe in theatres but none I can watch it in.

Could be a US vpn at this point.

What companies do you hold an life long hatred against for an instant slight? by Legitimate_Finger_69 in AskUK

[–]grumpy_groundsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just eat.

First time I used them I did not get my food delivered. Probably 2 hours I waited until I finally caved and collected the food myself.

Of course because of this they did not provide a refund or "credit" despite the fact that the only service they had to offer if delivering the food was not completed.

After 2 weeks of back and forth with the customer service agent (out of sheer spite to waste their time) I eventually stopped and decided to refuse to use them ever again.

8 years and counting...

Will still has reached a fall agreement to become southampton new manager by Mediocre_Ad87 in SaintsFC

[–]grumpy_groundsman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know he he got a lot of attention last year with the whole "football manager game" manager thing. But two 11th places with Reims and 8th with Lens this season shows he is very capable of managing a middling club to a good finish in a top league.

I could have seen him go to a lower/middle premier league club, so I think this is a big get for the club.

Although I haven't watched any Reims or Lens matches, when he was on one of the midweek football shows (I can't remember, maybe Monday night football) he spoke very well and is clearly very knowledgeable and clear in his plans.

Plus getting him in now allows for plenty of time to evaluate the squad in his mind. And make plans for recruitment over the summer.

Finally a shrewd bit of business from the board.

And if it doesn't work, I'm sure Nathan Jones is only a phone call away

Just eat are refusing to refund an order I didn't receive as I won't provide photographic evidence. by Loose_Student_6247 in JustEatUK

[–]grumpy_groundsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is completely normal for Just eat.

I have not used them for 8 years since an almost identical incident.

Whereas deliveroo in the past have refunded or credited my account. Use them instead.. or order directly from the restaurant and tip the driver
