Lee On Solent Saint

That only positive I'll take from the game was at least it was cheap. Imagine having had to pay full price to watch that shit. Seriously. what was the point in playing Willy? Bazuna needs clean sheets, ok he might not have got one anyway, but no point playing a 41 year old keeper. AMN and Aribo are absolutely pointless, didn't effect the game at all. If Jones thinks we don't need a striker, I suggest he watches Mara's performance again. I get he was isolated and didn't have much help, but again so lightweight.

The cup games don't matter one bit, it's the league games that are vastly more important at this stage.

Well, he is certainly gambling with the clubs future that is for sure

I guess if the club isn't concerned, then why should the fans be

I don't have a problem with him thinking or saying the players are good enough. What annoys me is how the spin from the club is that we are "confident" of getting someone in. Like in the summer Ralph was "confident" of getting someone in. We all knew this should have been sorted out at the beginning of the window, but here we are at the end of the window, still trying to look for the cheapest deals possible.

Its just the same shit Ralph said in the last window. If SR hadn't fucked that up, am sure this season would have looked totally different

I know that he has to say something, but does he honestly believe this? And more importantly, how does he expect us to believe it? If the club aren't in a panic yet about forward signings, when will they be?

Quite possibly, rightly or wrongly he would have been seen as a "name".

Surely the best manager in the Championship would have been Kompany

But don't you find it telling that out of all the clubs to dispense with a manager in the PL this season, we are the only club to have recruited a new manager from the Championship?

We read what you can spend on Twitter

That squad looks shocking even for the Championship. DCC, Bednarek and Orsic are experienced international players. What makes you so sure they are going to still be here?

Fuck me, Wigan haven't hung around getting rid of Toure

He's come to the right place if he wants drama

Yeah. If we are shopping in League 2 I guess. Having said that, I wouldn't put it past us

Some weird logic going on there. Lyanco is still gash, Ralph probably worked that out, that's why he didn't play him most likely. Not doubting they possibly enjoy training etc under him, but that's not really a reason to keep with a manager, if results aren't improving. How much does any manager get involved in transfers these days?

We must be running out of smokescreens soon

I thought Jones said that McCarthy had sprained his ankle. Must have been a hell of a sprain to keep him out this long.

Edam better be good

That's the one

Am not even sure there is any thinking at the club behind the scenes anymore. This season has been an utter shitshow for so many reasons.

Surely if you are going to replace Perraud and switch KWP over to the left, we could have done better than a right back from Luton? This just screams to me that the club have accepted relegation and the process of rebuilding for next season is underway

Read an article on Newsnow Southampton page written by a Newcastle fan for their fanzine or whatever. Freely admits he was sat in the Itchen South end, even put what block and row! Also says that he was surrounded by his mates in other rows behind him.

We are a Premier League club in name only.

It was a bit tongue in cheek, but I wouldn't put it past him doing that. Seems to like fucking around with the fullback positions.
