Michael Atherton remembers his former England cricket team-mate Graham Thorpe on 'A Day for Thorpey' at The Oval ❤️

Fans finally starting to realise that Sport Republic are a bunch of charlatans, as if two relegations and shambolic decision making and disastrous transfer policies weren’t evidence enough. Glad people are finally realising but it sure has taken long enough. #saintsfc

It must have been around 1990 when I first started reading newspaper articles pontificating about how 5-day red-ball test cricket was basically finished. Today at the Oval, India & England showed us how stupid that judgement was. Yet again.

I have picked my ashes team and squad #ENGvsIND #Ashes

Think that Everton offer for dibling was more than I was expecting us to get for him. #saintsfc

17 mins in to this game. I’d forgotten how desperate the football is in the championship and how bad the refs are. #SaintsFC

Edwards needs hooking at half time. Absolutely dreadful. #saintsfc

Quashie and Edwards are absolutely shocking. Neither should be near the first 11 #SaintsFC

We really need to try and hold onto Dibling. Downs, Archer & BBD are absolutely woeful. Armstrong isn’t the same as he was and Stewart will never play 90 mins again. Not sure where the goals are going to come from. #saintsfc

Unpopular opinion but honestly would rather keep dibling over Matty this season. Feel like he’ll contribute to more goals and that’s most important #saintsfc

Quashie is unbelievably shit #SaintsFC

Decent point today considering there were some really poor performances. #SaintsFC

Like them or loathe them, Gove, Gibb, et. al. were immersed in the education brief. They understood the minutiae of their reforms, the reasoning behind them, and the wider educational impact. Now we have an Ed Sec whose insight extends to 'posh blazers'. What a downgrade.

Why are we not utilising the loan market at all? Plenty of good players available. #SaintsFC

I reckon both Fernandes and dibling go. #saintsfc

Spors is clearly another sports replica dud. Signed 2 of the worst players I’ve ever seen. #SaintsFC

We have to get sports republic out this club if we don’t want to end up a lower table champions team. #saintfc

Charlie Taylor is pretty solid player and should be used more #saintsfc

Aziz always the replacement for Fernandes FYI. #saintsfc

Said it before and say it again, Fernandes the most overrated player we’ve ever had. 42 million is I think a great deal for the club. #saintsfc
