I think we might need to win at Leicester now. No pressure.

If we play like that against Bompey, Leicester, Everton and Swansea we might get enough points to stay up. Might. Only might. But anyone saying it’s already over is talking bollokks

205-7 is the real heartbreaker and where the wheels started to come off.

Relegation six pointer. New manager effect. Playing at a club in crisis. Leading scorer back from injury. Only one way that's going to go.

In the face of some seriously stiff competition, this is the worst half of football I’ve seen us play this season. Embarrassing.

So 8 top ten premier league finishes in 11 full seasons. But some people think he's not good enough for Saints? Welcome back, Sparky. COYR

Spot on talking about Hughes. Just how I remember it too: "I don’t have the negative view of it that many others seem to. He wasn’t much good as a striker for us but when he dropped into midfield and partnered Chris Marsden in the Great Escape games, Dellhurst Park and all that, he was absolutely superb and played as if his life depended on it. He was 36 years old at the time and had had a long career playing for some of the biggest clubs in the world and had won everything so it says a lot about his personal pride that he played like that when it would’ve been easy not lift a leg and be like Jamie Redknapp was a few years later in similar circumstances."

At least he knows how to shoot. Whoever gets appointed, we all have to get behind him and the team straight away. Regroup in the summer when we know what's up (or down...).

Jermaine Jenas has turned into a good pundit. ‘Abysmal, shocking, borderline disgraceful’ was his verdict on Saints today...

Get Roy Keane in for the last eight games. “Right, you sniveling bastards, I was bastard here last time you went down and there’s no bastard way i’m planning on seeing that again. So get out on the pitch you useless bastards and score some bastard goals. Anyone who doesn’t play better gets nutted on the bastard chin at half time. Bastards.” Might work.

He comes across as a top bloke in both those interviews, to be fair. Honest, and no BS. He’s probably my favourite player at the moment. Which means he’ll almost certainly be sold in the summer.

If Pellegrino gets sacked on Friday and I get drafted in as caretaker this is the team i’d play. If he doesn’t get sacked I reckon he’ll go with JWP, Tadic and Redmond behind Guido instead. JWP probably deserves a go TBF. And I think we’ll win. (But I thought we’d beat Stoke 3-1). Nurse? Nurse...!

View from the Northam - OMFG. Two very poor teams with very poor leadership. Will we go down? As someone else said - toss of a coin. But we should be nowhere near this sh1tshow.

Wolves at home in the Choccy boxes in the 80s. Lost three nil I think. Only wearing a tee shirt cos I was ‘kin hard.

Need 4 points from next 2 games realistically. 3 against Stoke would be a good start. McCarthy Cedric Stephens Hoedt Bertrand Sims Lemina PEH Boufal Gabbiadini Carrillo 7 subs

Ach, my beer-soaked bad. McQueen on the bench. Now we know we’ve got City in the cup maybe we should focus on the league

For me: Alex Mc Cedric Stephens Yoshi Bertie PEH Lemina JWP Dusan Boufal Carillo Subs: FF, Hoedt, McCarthy, Romeu, Gabbi, Sims, Long

I read the headline and presumed it was 5 million for the whole city rather than the poxy football club

Win the cup and get relegated? **** yes. Next season don’t sell anyone and play the expensive mob in the Championship and in Europe. Play the kids in the two domestic cups. Go straight back up: it’s happy days. Fail to go straight back up: have a fire sale, give the kids a chance, and enjoy going to Leeds, Nottingham and Bristol for a few years.

Carillo would be worth the 19 million if he could somehow force Lovren and VD into a sickening collision

Stevie D on. We’re going for it.

We look like we think we’re too good to go down.... Shane’ll save us

Should actually be 13th on that 538 table - better goal difference than West Ham... I think we can get another 15/16 points over the rest of the season anyway. Now the players have got the 'no win since the neolithic period' monkey off their backs...

Also good to see Boufal being the first to congratulate JWP after he scored TBF
