We didn't exactly tear it up last season. 4th, never really threatened the automatics and were arguably second best in the final. With the expected departures, I don't see an easy run next season. We are so easily the next Stoke, WBA, Norwich et al.

Is it me or does that picture make him look like a Vatican employee with something to hide?

Just seen the highlights with that 90th minute foul again. Unbelievable that it wasn't given. Was outside the box though.

Most enjoyable game of the season. Good to see excitment back at St Mary's. Sure we were pants at times and some poor individual moments and sub par performances, but I saw some spirit and belief. There's now Russ scar tissue to deal with, a few times the players looked as though they wanted to go forward or be more positive and little Russ on their shoulder dragged them back. Still don't see a way to stay up, but be good to get some real football and excitment back at St Mary's. Tall Paul - want to love him so much and he has great moments, but need to see some finishing. BBD - what were our scouts smoking?

He must be starting to think about selling up and moving on. Its now evident to him that he and SR aren't very good at running a club. It must have cost them money and it seems headache at every turn. What are they getting out of it? Though I struggle to see the ownership value of any team like the Saints. Profit and silverware nigh on impossible, relegation, financial loss and fan hate always a few results away. Its a no win situation. Just to survive you need to be pretty good at at it. SR are clearly below standard, t so I don't see what Dragan's long term goal is ... unless its the handshakes and networking with other chairmen and owners which opens up business deals for him.

My guess is that your ideal Saturday afternoon involves a dungeon, dominatrix and a strap-on. 😂 (Bit like being at St Mary's these days, except we don't enjoy it)

And the irony is, if we win he looses his job and RM keep his. 😂 I'm genuinely not sure who the winners are in that scenario.

This relegation business seems to be good for ticket sales. Looks like the next three homes are a sell out ... exchange open for those who may prefer to wash their hair.

Some say the £12m pay-off would mean we'd break FFP rules and risk point deduction. How come we can't sell a £12m player to offset this in January? KWP won't stay in the summer, so perhaps we could get £12m for him now (I know he's one of our better players and that's a risk, but changing manager would be better in my mind). Failing that, there's plenty of fringe players from our bloated squad that should raise £13m.

How are these games selling out given the performance of the team? Are they going to away fans and just football tourists? Leicester had loads of spare seats yesterday.

It's nearly midday, so announcement some 3hrs late. My guess is the PR team are emailing the text back and forth to get the possesion stats up, it'll end up back with the PR Manager who'll hit the 'publish' button by mistake instead of passing back to the team.

What about Ange? He's planning to be at St Mary's next Sunday anyway. That would be a larf.

You wonder why clubs agree such contracts in the first place without clauses like 'if points gained falls below 9 in any rolling 10 game window, the compensation halves'.

Most games in a season without a shot on target (2 so far this season)

What's the record number of games in a season without having a shot on target? We're up to 2 that i know of. ... just something to go for I guess.

The only thing I got out of this game was pneumonia.

Hopefully. We could have a new manager and some new players for a re-arranged fixture.

My son can no longer make it, so have one U18 ticket available. It's pitchside, block Q3, row B (I think its the first row). The ticket is clearly circled U18 I'm afraid so may be checked. Cost £25, make me an offer 🙂 I'll be there so would need to exchange at the ground. Happy to keep an eye on your son/daughter during the game if required.

Tonight was the first time in years I thought about not going (its a 70 minute drive each way), shouldn't have bothered. I don't mind going down fighting but this just feels like a death march with just no end in sight. If we are sticking with RM no matter what (I'd fire him BTW) then SR owe it to the fans to explain why and what the long term plan is, because none of us get it. There can't be any fans that buy into this 'we're getting better all the time and its a process nonsense'. If SR will accept relegation and keep RM in the championship next season, then explain that to us so that we know what the plan is I've aways for Villa and Fulham this month, but that's me done with Russball. I've only ever used the ticket exchange when I couldn't make a game, but if Spurs and West Ham open up I may oblige. As for Capt Jack, how much is he paid per week and then fucks up like he does ...FFS

What's french for 'just pass it around at the back'

And confidence remains that they will make the playoffs and get back into the National League.

Aside form the goals we gave away, how many times did we do this? ... its a miracle we weren't punished more. So many times ...everyone in the stadium could see it coming (bar one of course).

On the plus side, we scored 5 goals I suppose.

It's not all bad ... 71% possession.

Anyone have a feed please?
