It appears that this is the case, we have a tone deaf board and clumsy club media, attempting to ride out the storm. I think the fans can sense that on this occasion the club may well run out of luck.

Another chaotic 1-1.

The momentum stopped at the death - not closing an experienced striker off and letting Romeu leave right at the end of the window weakened us considerably. The signings made were very positive overall but lacking a solid unit in midfield and a clinical goal scorer is obviously the difference.

Tessem currently summarising on Solent, making Dave Merrington sound like Marcel Proust!

Another schizophrenic performance, looked a bit more balanced first half but flat and backs against the wall at home against a side that should have been knackered second half. I think SR won’t move until after Arsenal, but we reality is that we need to get an organiser in asap to steady the ship or this young side could go into complete free fall - you can sense it.

We could do with more of a forearmsmash approach at the moment.

He can do the hospitality, provided he’s not arrested at Heathrow a la Gary Glitter.

It could be Gary Lineker, really put us on the map.

I hope you’re right SG! Maybe the reporter does too.

Delaying the inevitable. By the time Hassenhutl gets the push the Eric Black shitlist will have a bigger crowd than our home games!

But they’ll never be as big as Harrogate Town!

The word from Turk Guide is that he actually said ‘Southampton are a bunch of handjobs’ - if so fair play, at least he knows what he’s up against.

But you’ve shit out if you’re a Goztepe fanboy!

Pochettino has been sounded out by Rasmarse for that prime gig!

Saints currently ranked 82 globally, Harrogate Town 634, Goztepe unlisted as don’t meet the criteria. Ankersen needs to clarify to us small time second stream tosspots what he was on about, or indeed what he was on.

Brendon Rogers has his booked in.

A shoe in when they remake Brewster's Millions, £50 million in 48 hours then fucks off.

I am usually an optimist, and being optimistic can only see two points from those three fixtures, currently. Bore draws against the Irons and Bucket-rattlers.

As other posters have alluded to, having thought this over this looks like Saints may well have been played. Something of a set up to avoid Man City the embarrassment of feeding a direct rival in Chelsea, and a possible explanation behind their weird last minute approach for Lavia. To be honest the only concern I would have is if we have done the bulk of our season's transfer budget on a trio of promising but green youngsters recommended by a senior figure now rapidly exiting stage left. If Shields wants away then bollocks to him, but pray that his prodigies come good for Saints and that his decision (which has left Saints 'very angry' according to Brownmore) means Sport Republic commit to their root and branch reshuffle sooner rather than later.

Kwasi Kwarteng’s motivational coach?

Indeed time to rechristen chunky as Adam Brownmore.

I think they genuinely believed the 'safe hands' 'well run' line spun by Semmens & Co. during and after purchase, and thought that Saints would tick over whilst they were empire building in the bargain basement. It's likely now that the core team is in a mode of responsive crisis management to rescue the situation before it becomes untenable. Given what appeared a large investment in earnest over the summer, if they're not SR are incompetent and will be complicit.

In the picture book dictionary this is the visual entry for ‘Mediocrity’.
