The Athletic have got their boffins to run the numbers and they've got us not only relegated but finishing bottom.

I wish we were Ukraine.

I didn't realise SaturdayGirl and Bad Wolf were the same person until it was far, far too late 😪 Has anyone got any hemorrhoid cream?

I am offering tiered access to my account, using the SaintWeb business experts' preferred "Dynamic Pricing" model. Small Fry: for £6 per month full permission to post 6 "Jesus wept" posts per calendar month. Frying without wings: £8 per month for all the above plus plus one "...so that means goals goals goals" post for a single substitution event occuring in each league fixture. Fryday I'm in love: £12 a month for all the above plus a commemorative plain red T-Shirt. This package is incredibly popular in China. Colinjb package: you pay double the above but you don't ever use any of the benefits at all. You just give me the money.

Rupert Lowe's legacy right there 👍

I imagine @hotsaint , being such a long standing Saints fan, was absolutely buzzing after our great result on Saturday.

Jesus wept.

Best scenario for us is Moyes sacked, they waste two weeks on a replacement who then comes in and shits the bed.

We really want Selles but before we do that, let's make sure absolutely everyone knows he's not our first choice.

100% - look im on board, he's coming across well, the subs worked and the players are playing for him. Got to beat Leeds though.

I like that we are seeing a consensus that Selles is great on exactly the same time scale that would have been written off as a "typical knee jerk impatient" reaction if we had lost yesterday and anyone said that he was shit. Well done everyone 👏 👍

Exactly. Being that it was two games between 4 clubs down in the mix I fail to see what results would be seen as going "our way". Some if the teams were going to get points yesterday, just how it is. If all four got a point each is that better? Leeds getting a point under their caretaker manager is better then them just losing? Don't get it. We need more than just relying on other teams failing to stay up.

Sad to say the most likely outcome is both of us go down.

We looked organised, definitely seeing an improvement, I reckon they are really playing for Selles, the new players looking good, at least it looks like a system, plenty of positives to build on. 1-3 defeat.

I've watched most of the press conference and I have concluded that he is an absolute sweetheart ❤ ❤❤

I've been dead for years.

They know who they are 😉

https://theathletic.com/4211070/2023/02/16/jesse-marsch-southampton?source=user-shared-article There's an awful lot of detail about our pursuit of Jesse Marsch here, especially when we've been told by some on here that the whole thing was just a load of made up rumours on twitter.

The idea that Nigel Adkins is a figure comparable to Trevor Brooking at WHU or Shearer at Newcastle at absolutely crazy.

Except the only reason you want him to come is because of what he did previously. You wouldn't be recommending any other manager who has recently failed at Sheffield United and Charlton (or similar clubs) in League One. So I don't get the argument why you want him.

I don’t work in football administration but anyone who does should have been able to anticipate this scenario (and others) before Jessie Marsch even got on the M1 to come down. He only got sacked two weeks ago so would definitely still be being paid by Leeds. Obviously whatever they tried to negotiate wasn't enough for us or him. Really I think the error is the club are far too leaky and chatty to pet journalists/contacts. The over confident briefings yesterday morning I think were an avoidable mistake.

We had a relegation scare the one season before Ralph arrived but the season before that we were 8th, then 6th, then 7th and then 8th before that.

Except it wasn't "twitter", it was The Athletic, the Daily Telegraph and Adam Blackmore, all of which have contact in the club. And Jessie Marsch clearly was in a Southampton hotel yesterday, or was that made up "on social media", too? It's clear and obvious that we spoke to him and here we are, he is not going to be our manager. You can pretend that is some strategic triumph if you like but regardless of who has rejected who, we brought someone down to the city to then not appoint them, and as it stands not appoint anyone else either. We all know you are an apologist for this regime but they fucked up the summer window, they fucked up getting rid of Ralph then, they utterly fucked up the replacement which any fool could see was a disaster, they fucked up opportunity to sack him before Wolves and now today as well.....excuse us all for immediately assuming they have fucked up again. Because they're great at it.

He'll just turn out to be the Spanish Brian Kidd.
