I think they was a distinct lack of folk saying this on September 1st, as it was being celebrated by some as a 8/10, 9/10 window and how wonderful Sports Republic are. If that doesn't get us a better squad able to at least compete with 3 x promoted teams, Brentford, Brighton, Leeds and Palace then its an absolutely disasterous window. But no one was saying that then. Quite the opposite. It's a huge narrative shift in just a few weeks.

They are definitely destined for the top of the hit parade with a name like Millwanks.

For God's sake someone send him some Rainbow laces quick before he says fudge packers.

100%

So it turns out that the transfer window that Adam was saying was brilliant back in September was actually shit after all as he's challenging the listenership to name a worse squad than ours. Crystal fucking clear. Go us.

Not sure he will ever be the messiah again being that he has already been here for nearly four years. Winning some football matches is what he's supposed to do, he won't be doing us a favour.

Absolutely. Not sure who this Wolf guy is but he is absolutely full of it. The overriding reaction to Tuchel was disbelief- he would not come to us. Absolutely no one "turned their nose up".

Bit early for this thread isn't it, we've got an entire week to wait before we even play West Ham.

Based entirely on Wikipedia, I think Tedesco sounds like quite a good candidate.

If a load of fairy story bollocks happens then I am proven right. You're acting like the rest of us don't know exactly how Prime Ministers are elected. We know. We all fucking know. Stop acting like a chump and just accept that you are full of shit.

Cortese or not Pochettino would have been out the door as soon as a big club came calling. The Cortese thing just gave him a convenient excuse that some Saints fans still lap up to this day.

Honestly stop thinking about it. He is not coming to us. Jesus wept.

I don't really understand how the analytical stats work, but The Athletic said we had an XG of 0.1 yesterday - is that good?

Are you on crack?

Can't see any reports anywhere. Either way it is basically an exact copy of what was being said this time last week. It doesn't take much to say "I've heard reports he's going this week" over and over again. Eventually you'll be correct.

I think we need to resist a completely hasty knee jerk reaction to a total one-off single defeat against the richest biggest club in the whole world. There you go twats, I've saved you the bother of typing it.

That's enough about Jack Grealish.

9/10 transfer window though.

People who don't understand when Box'ng Day is.

All we need to do is activate the "remember everyone wrote off Jose Mourhino" SaintsWeb clause and off we go he's going to be absolutely brilliant.

None of that is relevant to the point in hand. Which is, as we know, that you are utterly full of shit and you know it. You didn't predict we'd win the league that August, and you know it. Just one of two idiot Saints fans on here that didn't celebrate across two hugely enjoyable seasons. I fucking loved it, it was absolutely delicious. Suck it up. Suck it right up.

Er, I think the point being made was about how Ralph can't be that bad a man-manager because players haven't noticeably improved when they are free from him. I don't know what Adam Lallana, Victor Wanyama and Virgil Van Dyke have to do with that to be honest.

Calm down. He's not been sacked yet. If the Telegraph had printed "Southampton have a clear first choice replacement" how do you think that would look? The club aren't going to say that to a journalist are they?

Well the redevelopment of the marina area didn't happen for a fucking start ☹ why would they stay?

100% Bitterne and Saint Lard are utterly full of shit and they know it. Neither of them had Saints to win the league outright on August 1st 2011 and they know it. They've created a little fairytale in their head that we were super all-conquering mega club on the first day of the season in 2011 where the title was some cakewalk formality that Adkins failed on. Everything they say now (over and over again) is post rationalised, after the fact, myth making. Or, in summary, horseshit.
