  1. I don't think I said anything of the sort did I?
  2. Saints Web view of Ipswich performance - Relentless, always find a way to win - absolutely no way we catch them or beat them in the playoffs. Saints Web view of same performance if it had been Saints - Into the crucial period of the season, full house against a team in freefall.....and we just didn't turn up. No energy, no creativity and fully deserved to be behind after an hour (would have been 4 or 5 against Leicester, Leeds or Southampton). Get an equaliser out of nothing and managed to concede again - absolutely gutless. A late rally papers over the cracks (again) and let's not talk about the penalty miss (good luck in the playoffs bottling things like that! Lol) but anyone thinking we hold off Leeds and Southampton or beat them at Wembley needs to give their heads a wobble.
  3. Those feeling this is a completely unwanted distraction that we have no chance in may be interested to know that, in light of the likely Liverpool team, you can currently lay us to qualify at around 11/4 on Betfair.......👀
  4. Whilst there are clearly things that can be improved on, the way a large chunk of this forum has moved from "Never mind promotion this clueless clown is going to get us relegated" during our run of losses to "We may be on a 13 game unbeaten run but it's play-offs only under this clueless clown" without any semblance of self-awareness is truly remarkable.
  5. I agree with the general view that we need to win and that we ought to. Given that, the prices on Betfair look wrong to me - we are about 13/8 and they are 15/8 which seems too close to me, we are far likelier winners than they are imo. Draw is a small win for me, Saints win is a nice return and if Coventry win I may have to sell one of the kids.....
  6. Bizarrely (or not!) not a single person has come on to say they lost money backing Leeds yesterday. If they had won of course......
  7. With the usual caveats from the above quote.......in the "correct score" market on Betfair (not great liquidity at present) it looks like "any other away win" (ie: Leeds to score at least 4) will be around 10/1........
  8. I remember this one well! Given my job, my twitter circle revolves around gambling on horses and although I tweet about Saints I had never recommended a bet before. I said to anyone who would listen that they could lay us without fear (at around 2/1 I think) due to the team we would be forced to put out. I have largely kept my footballing opinions to myself since then.....
  9. The usual reminder when the forum is this certain of a spanking.......Leeds will I imagine be about 6/4 to beat us, which, as the consensus seems to be somewhere between 3 and 5-0 would appear to represent astonishing value. What will actually happen of course is that this will get a chorus of "couldn't possibly bet against my team (I can call them useless, frauds, spineless, pathetic etc but I couldn't possibly bet against them 😄)", and we'll hear no more about it unless Leeds win in which case they'll all appear again afterwards with "easy mpney" posts. As ever, just saying......
  10. 7 games is a long time in football - some on here have gone from "We should have got Michael Carrick, he's built a fantastic team at Middlesbrough" to "If we can't even beat f******g Middlesbrough he simply has to go!"
  11. Can be dangerous to read too much in to these things but as well as yesterday's video the club have just posted a training picture with the tagline "Grafting" which presumably isn't the sort of thing you'd do if he'd just told you he'd never wear the shirt again and his agent was lining up a move to Saudi?
  12. Some thoughts...... No doubt about it - that was an absolutely dismal capitulation, appalling from start to finish from players and manager alike. However! Whilst not for the size of it perhaps, there are several mitigating reasons for a bad day at the office. The timing of the transfer window combined with how hectic ours was, the KO time and the location, away to a hostile rival with an axe to grind, and with reasons why plenty of 1st choice players either couldn't play or it was thought best not to risk it, made for a pretty perfect storm imo. Prior to the game most (not all, MOST) of the fans on here were pretty happy with what they had seen from the manager thus far, delighted with the end of the window and pretty confident for what lay ahead. Well you've now got three choices - immediately do a 360 and call for MARTIN OUT, wait and see what the next few tough games tell us or remain supremely confident that WE WILL PISS THIS LEAGUE. The middle one seems the fairly obvious choice to me. There will clearly be a very different look to the team for the Leicester game and Che, Shea and THB starting will clearly (imo) make a huge difference. I think RM tried to get through to the break (after the crazy window) with a fudge of a team for one game and it backfired spectacularly. I'm confident it won't happen again. As to lazy forum reaction -"Contending teams simply don't lose 5-0! No way we are doing anything this season!" - too many examples to list as to that bollocks but for a start how about the Man U team that was the most successful in PL history that shipped 5 at Newcastle and 6 to us the following week before winning the league (again)? And wily old fox Mowbray was always going to have our number was he? Maybe he could use his wiles to get above us in the league? Or maybe we should go for Carrick who so many wanted in the summer and is now presiding over a car-crash? And our cracks have been papered over till now have they - what about Leicester who hadn't been winning ANY of their games till late on (having played dross thus far) and just lost at home to Hull? I could go on....😉 Yesterday was awful - absolutely awful - but I do think there are, as well as huge lessons to learn, lots of reasons why it really might look a bizarre slip in a great season.
  13. Whilst it may (or may not) be different in the Championship, in the PL Kevin Pullein (the footie punter invariably described as a BOFFIN in the RP) has regularly over the years transposed the table over a table of wage bills and the two correspond to a truly astonishing degree.
  14. No Che in pictures of players arriving.....
