Assuming the Megson-motivated Baggies cruise to victory and we lose heavily tomorrow then we're fourth from bottom. If nothing else that would show the sh it we're in. Still, we sacked the guy who got us to eighth because we expect better than than that.

We're all with you mate, we all want to forget those defeats for your beloved Toffeemen too. Thinking of you at this difficult time x x x

You're getting dangerously close to condemning a atrocity carried out by Islamic terrorists. Careful now.

Maidstone boys up in town.

Don't ruin it, we'll get all the Jackson's Farm theories coming out in a minute. Spoiler alert: if a billionaire wants to develop brownfield land in Southampton they don't need to buy the football club to do it.

Beyond parody.

Relegation battles are exciting, obviously they are, but only if you stay up at the end of course. Winning a vital game in a relegation season is infinitely more valuable, exciting and more of a pure adrenaline rush than winning one in a mid-table plod season. Dellhurst Park would never be a memorable game in our history if we were 12th at the time. I wouldn't expect a emotionless human android like you to possibly understand how actual people with feelings behave, so carry on with your computer games.

It's not puzzling is It - Swansea are second bottom. WBA have lost 5 in a row and have been on a dreadful run since the spring. West Ham have been in and around the bottom 4 all season. Everton are top 7 expectation but currently bottom 5. All we've done is bimble about in mid-table. Journalists aren't going to write struggling Southampton when we're 12th, 13th, 14th. When we lose 5 on the spin and/or genuinely trouble the bottom three then the papers will use the struggling Southampton line you are so desperate to see.

I did some likes on Twitter I did. Searching the hashtag it does look a bit like a thing that has happened. Will the club give a monkeys?

I reckon Unsworth will turn it round once he has a transfer window to put his stamp on the team.

Markus died when we were still in League One you absolute div. And we went from strength to strength after Cortese ran for the hills. 7th and then 6th then a cup final plus European qualification twice - a golden age for the club that Italian had fu ck all to do with.

That's the same time I booked the bi-plane and banner for. Fu ck's sake.

He looked like a one season wonder in Spain whose one season of wonder wasn't even that good, and was as spectacularly goal-shy as the guy we'd just sacked. They are the facts as they were known, replace one low scoring manager with another low scoring manager. No revisionism, no hindsight, plenty could see it and were worried. It was similar to Pochettino who also came with a fairly ordinary record but nothing in Pellegrino's career suggested he would be a success. It was hope far more than expectation that we'd found Poch mark 2. Pellegrino is fu cking sh it.

I must have missed all those other "stewards" of the club who took us to "nearly Champions League football". Can you name them please?

Yeah, he won't just get that in one go, if he even gets anything near that.

It think it was strange that you don't know he has two of his own backroom staff at the club that I would definitely describe as "his own assistants" and shows that perhaps he does know anyone. Perhaps you are so inexperienced at retaining simple information. Possible that all candidates got told they could have two hand picked assistants and that's what he got because he has two hand picked assistants.

Poll this week has Theresa May ahead of Steptoe on "who would make the best Prime Minister" 34% v 31%. Just think about that. And Tories polling under 2 percentage points behind Labour 41.4% v 39.9%. They should be out of sight against this government but they're neck and neck. Vive le effing revolution.

I'd like to see him tested at a different level before we give him a high profile role at Saints. A couple of seasons at Garforth Town for example.

Loads worse. Pellegrino is fu cking sh it.

Yeah but Hitler was a christian.

So what you're saying is that all teenagers are knife-weilding murderers.

Who on this forum has ever said they are independent then? Or are you just, as usual, making a tiresome counterpoint to something no one has ever, ever said?

After two seasons of managing Celtic he will have achieved that career goal. Being manager of Celtic for season after season after season is not a career goal for any self respecting manager. The previous managers of Celtic haven't used it as a stepping stone because Scottish football is rubbish which is why they've rocked up at Middlesbrough and Bolton. Not entirely sure what club of prestige you think will be Brendan Rodgers next step but I reckon it will be someone like us or Stoke or Newcastle, with the only wildcard being him going to a Moyes-style middling Spanish club to "stretch himself".

The Scots voted in favour of devolution in a referendum. That's just a simple fact.

I'd be amazed if he stuck it out beyond the summer, two seasons and he'll have done everything there is to do up there. It's not about him coming to us, its just the dead end that is Scottish football. Do you seriously think he's going to spend the rest of his career up there?
