Still getting a lot of Ramirez tweets. As I said, led to believe deal to #SaintsFC is not off yet. Games are being played by all involved.

Salisu can do that job

He'd be perfect. But our owners would have to eat a big loan fee, plus an obligation to buy if we were to stay up. I can't see them doing that.

I'd settle for just winning games at this point. I'm tired of the Premier League rat run, I'm tired of going to St Mary's.

I've never seen so much sense spoken on this forum. Happy new year all

I don't even want NJ if we go down to the Championship. Worst PL appointment in recent memory? Bob Bradley and Frank de Boer run him close.

Yes, seems like a pretty huge fuck up to me

Apart from when he threw the game away when it was for the taking, you mean?

So we've got Nathan, Nathan's step dad, Bazunu's lover - anyone else want to unveil themselves?

Get Lavia and Stu on and go for it

This is shocking. Season ticket won't be getting much more use this season.

He's changed the shape, again. Sali LB, AMN in the middle

Congrats. He let one in that he shouldn't have saved. Whatever makes you happy.

That João Palinha is going to rinse our midfield, and Harrison Reed will just pick at the scraps. Crazy selection.

I think our midfield in any system is the problem. There's no room for powder puff any more, as Liverpool are finding out to a certain extent. They need some horrible, hard-running fuckers in there asap or they'll miss out on CL this season.

Yes please, will have a lot to prove - much like KWP when he came in I'd like to see more of KWP at left-back. Perraud is ok, he puts in a decent ball, but I'm not convinced he has the natural fitness for the Premier League - especially not playing twice a week.

Bit strange how there is no mention of it at all on the official Twitter, etc. Only snippets I've seen are these:

We haven't got months mate, we've got the next five games... 😆

Why not at this point? We're well into throwing shit at the wall territory.

All he's done aside from that pass vs Leeds is jog around lazily. If we added his fee to our super mega bumper summer warchest, who knows what superstar SR might have unearthed?

Who? ABK and Lavia will be on the way out whether we're relegated or not. Those two and KWP are the only players I'd be arsed about losing.

The more I think about it, the more bonkers it is that we paid £11.5m for Sekou Mara. Why?

What on earth is up with JWP? The way he let March breeze past him reminds me of myself chasing shadows at 5 a side. Is he unfit/overweight? Edozie a bright spark but like many of his predecessors, his end product is just gash. Adams is a tryer, I really like him but his return won't be anywhere near enough to keep us up. Diallo is just a waste of space, he was a total ghost out there. Even KWP was shite. Perraud seems unable to get into match shape, let's hope he got a treadmill for Christmas. Don't need to mention the Angus Gunn tribute act in goal. Lyanco a tryer too, but unfortunately just really crap. Djenepo a tryer but cannot pass, run, shoot, or even dribble sometimes - who on earth scouted him? Can't see any other outcome but relegation.

Hope we kept the receipt for this unwanted Christmas gift. The players are total shit but we've gone backwards since Ralph and that is just unthinkable.
