DT

so many stories . v sad news. amazing player and character

The other factor in the equation is that we might 'need' to sell Ings to try and balance books a bit better. And especially if we go down...(sorry)

So all of those who thought his body language had changed were...right Bloody big balls players. Need to cut and collect. Shrewd foreign signing from nowhere, please

Agreed. Much happier if this is true given their wealth than Spurs sniffing around, which would make me ill. Don't get me started on Vestergaard

Smoke screen for them getting Kane I reckon. So in that sense would be awful for us if Levy offers £10m for Danny... Can't see it happening. Perhaps destabilising him for the FA Cup Final 😉

Well done Saints. Hope we can build on this. Happy bunny

Sounds like both Spurs fans and Mourinho himself are agitating for Mourinho to go tonight after that europa result. Ralf there next ? Longshots sure, but out of question? Levy loves a Saints raid

You can bet your bottom ten pence that if we go down those potential investors will look elsewhere. Thus, the league is the priority for the future of the club, with new ownership and a little money to address our paper-thin squad. The FA Cup is neither here nor there and still needs us winning three games, something we don't seem particularly capable of. Which isn't to say it wouldn't be great. Just might detract even more from what is - in my view - much more important.

30-1 now and falling. Like us.

Will likely lose. Will it change anything? Not really, except less distraction from more important job of staying up.

In terms of timing would it be more or less likely that Howe would/could take over (I know, conjecture) before we play Bournemouth?

Personally think this may be a good watershed. They know they must win the game so might just rediscover, oh, I dunno, going forward? Actually attacking rather than getting semi-ons about how well they're knocking the ball around the back. Perhaps we might even be able to build on that, assuming Ralph doesn't do more mysterious tinkering. OR If we again get beat (in my view likely) it will crystallise our attention on survival. Think it's hard-wired into the club's DNA to only turn up when it's essential. But the really scary thing is the players have lost all faith in Ralph and are going through the motions before their next club, so convinced are they by their own skills in making their dream trot up to Spurs to join Hoivelt or whoever. Actually having fans back might buck their ideas up, but by the last game it still might be too late

I thought Howe was off to Palace after Woy's retirement at the end of the season? Rumour I heard.

Need some new faces in coaching set up, perhaps even only as supplement to Ralph. A plan b specialist....

Tell you what. Why doesn’t he work on this anyway? Like at the start of the season? Starting to irritate me now. You don’t motivate them by purring about how we played in the last loss to City. Why doesn’t he get angry? Animated? Bit wet. Going down at the moment (still)

Would prefer three points than progressing one more stage in the FA Cup by a million miles.

Can we give Chris Wilder a call?

Are th EY all playing for their next club already?

Predictable

We need spirit, fight and guts tonight to counter their wanting/needing it more. Also not convinced Ralph will fire them up sufficiently. Flicks and tricks will not be enough today. But please get the selection right. Leave the disruptive ball loser Redmond at home, Diallo have a stormer, Fraser instil quiet confidence through the back line, Bertrand get some zip in your game, and KWP add that essential pace and overlaps. Oh, and stick Tella up with Minamino to defeat their big links at the back with raw pace. Please get it right Saints. Turn up!

Yes. I hate them. Terrific use of emojis.

Burnley winning adds a bit more pressure on tomorrow. Have to win or at least not lose. Gonna be nervy. Brighton are not bad at all.

Feeder club to miserly Levy. Brilliant.

If he does that then Ralph really isn't a good manager

FFS. I hate Spurs with all my heart
