We will probably replace Trollope and Lallana with ChatGPT or something.

God bless Shurlock but he hasn't posted on this forum in 2025.

Oh c**t f**king c**t bags.

Phenomenal band, one of the very best debut albums. A rare example of a band where all four members played a huge/almost equal part in the sound. Mani's second life with Primal Scream fantastic too, remember seeing them live during the XTRMNTR tour in the 90s. RIP

I think i said goodbye to my VHS copy when we cleared out my old Mum's house a couple of years back. Will be watching that on Prime this weekend for sure. As well as the goals will be nice to hear again Statto from Fantasy League doing the commentary pretending he was at the games live 😂

There isn't one. There isn't one manager on earth better for us than Tonda Eckert. It's just a massive coincidence that he happens to have been managing our U21 team last month.

We've had a lot more managers in our history than that shower of shit is my point xxxx

Are you 14 years old?

Yes. Reuben Selles beat Chelsea and everything.

Personally I truly believe that Tonda Eckert has the capabilities, belief and ability to take the job on full time and drive the super Saints to play off success and ultimately on to the Premier League. As a fan base we all need to get behind this guy 100%. All the fans have spoken to agree with me. Come on you Southampton #ad

Pretty sure Sweden are in the play offs anyway because of the Nations League. So he will manage them in those next Spring (and theoretically at the World Cup).

Pretty pointless smart arse answer. We could have appointed anyone the day after Still left and got results against QPR and Sheff Wednesday. Eckert is not the miracle man you're making him out to be. The point it is would have been sensible to appoint a new person with a 2 week lead in, rather then wait for Eckert to fail and appoint someone in the middle of a heavy Sat-Tues fixture run

Which was my exact issue with your post. To "contrary to popular opinion" claim that Nathan Jones had the appropriate experience to turn round Saints post-Ralph is misleading and precisely the cherry picking you're talking about. And it's not hindsight from a fans perspective because pretty much universally the fanbase agreed he didn't the day the news broke. There isn't any assessment that gives Tonda the experience, all he has from a small portion of the fanbase is a) the "no one can name anyone better than the incumbent" disease that is rife in our forum fanbase and the b) "he's going to prove everyone wrong because people said man couldnt land on the moon" traditional delusion. With the current mania to slag off and find fault with any other manager that isn't Tonda then I can believe that there are plenty in this forum who would right now reject the pre-Saints Koeman (he was terrible and sacked at Valencia, failure) and the pre-Saints Pochettinio (sacked at Espanyol, failure) versus Tonda who has never ever failed and never ever been sacked.

That floor will be a nightmare slip hazard once the Saturday night wanking off gets under way

You are stretching the truth a bit there. Nathan Jones did not have the experience to step into a decade-long established Premier League club. He had already shit the bed at Stoke City one league down. To "contrary to popular belief" him as being suitably experienced is fucking insane. Will Still had delivered one of the worst seasons in Lens recent history. He was borderline experienced but at 32 clearly a punt that he really was a boy wonder. "Contrary to popular belief" he was recruited for his potential not his wealth of experience. Martin and Juric yes fine appropriate for the division they were appointed to. The issue with inexperienced I think players is more about our Ralph Premier season. For last year's debacle we just bought not enough quality and this year Damion Downs is obviously the lightening rod, rightly. It's not experience per se, he's just terrible.
