Saints will win 7-0, the players will turn up and play like Messi to get in the shop window for the summer. "Look at me, I'm awesome, it's everyone else that was rubbish". 😡

No. I think it's worth spending £11.99 on an average bottle of red and watching a film. Tetris is good.

He looks 24 ...

This! Just give him a contract, a proper one, FFS

We do have full backs better suited to that than say Leeds - in my opinion. KWP, Livramento (is he alive??) and even Perraud.

I've warmed up to the idea having read more on him, his style and general manner. I think he certainly has a lot more pedigree than the previous manager and definitely a style that the younger players may need right now. Carrot rather than stick could be better in these circumstances.

I honestly think this squad needs a "name" not a clever appointment who the players will respect, get some wins and avoid relegation - still possible. Bielsa, Pochettino, Gerrard. I make zero apologies for wanting one of them as manager in my opinion.

I don't think he's a bad man, he just wasn't the right man for the club or the situation. This squad needed (and still needs in my opinion) a "name" to shape them up, the players have to shoulder lots of the blame as well under both Ralph and Jones. However, the football and results did get worse and there is no excuse after having a 4/5 week training session during the world cup. I hope Nathan finds the right club for him and does well elsewhere.

Ah the good old days. Network54 and all that! Prick on a stick. B-anter.

Absolutely this - if the club give this charlatan any more "winnable" games, it's game over.

GO NOW! FAO SAINTS BOARD - You are useless. FAO NATHAN JONES - Go now. Okay, thanks, bye.

I had to mute it, that guy's voice!!!!

I work closely with data, I understand data, but xG is a complete load of crap. According to that stat, Man City (with rounding) SHOULD have won 2-1. They didn't, that wasn't the score. So a retrospective at what was expected is a load of rubbish. You are supposed to take learnings from data, what can you learn from that? "You SHOULD have scored" and "you SHOULD have hit the target" - brilliant. I think the qualitative data from staff and fans grumbling in the stands is enough to form that view. Data for data's sake. There are examples of it everywhere. Look at a shampoo advert; "loved by 89% of people" ... "note: 89% of 63 people" ... WTF is that? That's not a rep sample. Who are these people, what's their demographics, are they a broad enough spectrum and what would give more significance? 1000, 2000, probably 20000. Anyway, I'm ranting now, your fault. Bloody xG my arse.

This is what worried me too. Look, I am not a football manager, or a coach, but, as a fan of the game you can see the patterns and what style the team has, we can all see that. I didn't see any pattern today or objectives. I saw chaos and complete ineptitude. After 5 weeks of having the team to drill, this is not acceptable.

Agreed! Bad choice. It was a cheap choice, portrayed as being "daring". F**k off. It's a sh*t, cheap choice. Sorry Nathan and family - seems like a nice guy, but this isn't going to work out, probation should be ended early. After 5 weeks of having (nearly) the entire team to yourself to shape and drill, the last two matches show it won't work.

Horrific. No soul, no talent, limited and simple tactics, just all round limited ability. They deserve to go down.

Confident video, I like the approach, style and caveats. Expect a blood and thunder performance against Liverpool (which Klopp will moan about) and then the break sounds ideal to work with everyone, including staff. Yeah, let's see. Good luck Nathan, look forward to seeing Saints in 2023!

No idea who the guy is, what he does, what his teams are like, or anything, so I'll just wait and see. I do suspect though that if he'd had a job for a Serie B team and had them near the top and been called Jose Netesto or something, fans might be more 'excited'? Just a hypothesis.

A very nice second half that. Like most, team news looked ominous and Arsenal's start looked like a 9-0, but fair play to the team, they actually battled, properly and pulled that off. That's all I think most of us want, a proper battling performance. Lavia, Bella-Kotchap, Livramento, Walker-Peters all out - some decent young players to come back in, but big shout to Lyanco.

I have a spare couple of hours now, where can I watch this impending sh*t show?

Good point and yes - f**ked lungs, so I'm in the vulnerable group.

i have my 4th on Tuesday, so yes is the answer.

The quality of journalism is bad, but this one is a new low ... Fans of the show took to Twitter to compare her with the star, with one saying: "Anyone else seeing a bit of Kerry Katona in blue? #NakedAttraction" A second added: "Blue looks like Kerry Katona #NakedAttraction." Though another fan disagreed and said: "No." 🤣

Saints will win. It'll be an awesome performance, pundits on MoTD will lap it up, Hassenhuttl will be lauded, Saints will stick with him and then lose the next 7.

Agreed. Sadly I couldn't vote for this Conservative government. Not because they are reckless, but because they are traditional low tax conservatives which has no place in a modern society. The markets are telling them that, they need to wake up and listen. On the flip, I cant vote for the Lib Dems as they're too odd and Labour as they still have some bonkers types in their ranks as you say. Imagine if Corbyn was anywhere near number 10 with the current Russia fiasco - Putin would be a guest here, you could guarantee that. In fact Russia generally have a lot to answer for in managing to manipulate the social media fools who lap it all up. But I digress. Who would I vote for? Right now, the Green party and that's saying something.
