Spot on mate. I'm sure this treatment is really going to attract the brightest and best from South America to play for our SR overlords. This lot couldn't run a bath.

The mincing cunt quite rightfully got a right earful at FT and ended up doing a "no-look" clap. The few who came over to clap got the same, especially AA. But somewhat in his defence (I still think he should go) what I saw yesterday was players just not trying. Stoppage time came and went without us laying a glove on them or breaking a sweat. Rotten.

It can't be rocket science to play nice passing football if Gateshead are managing it

It's just buzzword bullshit and it's so transparent.

This team picks itself, surely

There's no patterns going forward, they seem to have evaporated since the start of the season. There's very few overlaps, no clever cut backs - meaning we're just relying on individual "brilliance" from Fraser, Sully, Edozie, etc. AA is in the middle floating around the 10 space but is literally the opposite of what is required in that role. It was one of my biggest problems with Jones. We got to the final third and just looked like we'd run out of ideas, over and over again. Couple that with being utterly powderpuff in midfield and downright suicidal at the back, it makes for a fucking shit football team.

Any sniff of some quotes?

I don't know where we go from here, but I don't think it can be with RM. He's been let down by SR I think in terms of personnel - it's easy to see that with hindsight (again). But his set-ups are just abysmal, he's a strange guy, he won't take responsibility and won't change. If the SR circus left town tomorrow I wouldn't bat an eyelid - and that's even with all the sharks in the water re football ownership. We want our football club back

These commentators should just remain silent.

This is just ridiculous

What a scruffy cunt Martin looks in that tracksuit.

What device are you using mate? Can't see it on phone or PC.

That midfield is going to be absolutely steamrolled... what is he thinking?

The fan-blaming (although he insists he's not blaming the fans) is creeping in. The anecdote about the fan behind the dugout was telling. If the players and manager are upset that someone else is showing the passion they should be conjuring up for the money they're paid, then I'm not sure football is the right sport for them. RM seems to think that happiness of the players comes above results, which it doesn't. Manning's comments a few weeks ago echoed that. These attitudes which are creeping into football are just bizarre.

Not happy with what he's saying to be honest. If he wanted to have a squad full of rosy, happy munchkins happy with finishing mid-table, then he should've stayed at Swansea.

So is conceding within a minute for the second consecutive game

He's told to do it by the nutter in charge. Bazunu one of a couple who can hold their head high today.

Absolute fucking nutter

He's fucking cracked. Crazy quotes

Get the fucking birds off the St Mary's pitch as well. State of it tonight.

I've always respected Palace after they sacked De Boer. That's why they stay a PL club year on year - they know what they're doing

Completely agree. He's achieved fuck all.

The football is better but he looks equally out of his depth. At least he's a decent bloke but hopefully that doesn't make it any harder for SR to bin him. My gut told me we should've sacked Jones on Boxing Day, and I'm having similar tingles tonight. Give him to the next intl break, but fuck me - it's bad.

I cannot believe what I've watched today. It's total humiliation yet again and I believe RM is not the guy.

WUM
