Saint Gifford

Marcus with his little camera taking pictures on the pitch, is my best memory. I wonder what he would do now in our position. Owe you a huge debt of Gratitude.

Absolutely right. I thought last night (long trip) that we played well. As we have all season TBF. We all know and I hope Ramus does also, that we dropped a massive bollock with NJ. (That decision alone imo has cost us a Premiership position next season). However not the same circumstances, but I still believe it made us a better club when we ended up in L1. (I don’t want to repeat it of course) A real reality check and reset. Marcus was 100% the reason we got back. If the worst happens, it should be a fantastic season, ( I’m not sure I can bring myself to set foot in Trash-ton Gate) But if we concentrate on football not spreadsheets, stats and of course a couple of real attacking front men. Another Burnley in the making.

Broken record I know. But any ability in front of goal from open play please. Not only from an out and out striker but from midfield or the wings defence anywhere………………. We can play football not doubt about that. In front of what counts, we just haven’t done it for years. I don’t want to use the crap football speak, but I will and say we have no identity or DNA. We can get out of this but clearly, “The Southampton Way” has lost its way. Yes I know we have had a change of ownership and plenty of Managers and Player changes. But surely our core mission statement that has worked only a few seasons ago needs to be revisited.

Our crazy season, got to take a point as a bonus. Can’t help feeling with a cool head and some confidence anywhere in an attacking position, that should have been 3.

Swirly Shirts are working 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let’s hope we wear our swirly waves kit🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣we need all the help we can get

I’m guessing Man U will see this as a free hit. We I guess will see anything other than 0 points as a bonus. Only both teams starting 11 on the day with give us any idea of how the game will go.

To be fair I like my omelette 1- 3 large eggs 2- Don’t whisk, use a fork 3- Medium heat 4- Crepe pan 5- Butter 6- Olive Oil 7- Salt 8- Pepper 9- Rest before fully cooked as will continue to cook off the heat 10- Splash of Habanero Tabasco 11- Chopped Parsley Extras could be 5 from Salami, Cheese, Tomato, Oven cooked, Grilled. There are a lot of ways to make an omelette. Picking out one ingredient or process is all opinion. Long way around saying it’s unfair to blame one part of the recipe for a crap omelette.

We are not a complete basket case of a team. We play some really good attacking football. I didn’t think I would say this Che has again played some great through balls knowing where his teams mates should be. He deserved a MOTM performance. (Still isn’t a finisher imo). Tajjuk makes the valid point, we just need 3 teams that are worse than us, which this season probably is going to be that difficult. The last couple of seasons I’ve been happy before a ball has been kicked to take 17th if offered. This season even more so.

I’m trying to work out if I need to be a Forest fan tomorrow wanting a 3 nil win.

I remember watching Bristol Rovers v Grimsby at Wembley for Rovers to get back to the football league. (Both my boys are Gas heads). I know it’s one game in a disastrous season. But to lose against a team who is set up for non league, div two just a few years ago, and still are now tbf. Should be a wake up call. Needs some really challenging questions around how long can the leadership team of the club continue on this Kamikaze vision imo. At some point this has to be picked up by someone, or one of our official Supporters groups, or Community Trusts.

Just we look like we could go into free-fall like we did under the Lowe era again.

Rupert anybody……… Dark days a coming

Wow……………….

Leeds did the right thing appointing a manager that can go in with no friends buddies or relationships. He has gone in to dictate and play football and do a job. I think they will ultimately be ok. We on the other hand have just gone back to a someone that is everyone’s best friend and all mates together. Cant help thinking it’s another Ole at Man U, Lamps at Chelsea, ect ect. Beer and skittles boys club. I’m sorry but we had to make an appointment that the players know there is a clear distinction between manager and player. Nothing wrong with Selles, fantastic coach. But that’s the point, a fantastic coach.

2003/2005 Home up there with the best. Collar made it a very hot, and a very uncomfortable shirt playing 5 aside 🤣 Tried to upload a picture, but got bored of trying.

We have a good squad that is more than capable of playing and staying in the Premier League for a good few years. If it’s positivity, motivation and reuniting the whole group that needs to be found, then JM is perhaps the right guy. If it’s the hairdryer treatment perhaps not. Without knowing the “behind the closed doors” I’m not sure what to think or who would come in. He would have to stay next season, what ever league that we will be for some sort of continuity however. (Providing he is the right quality of course).

Walking Football Cymru Tupperware Division 109.

Would enhance his reputation, albeit a romantic notion. Unfortunately for us we are run by a bunch of muppets who will continue to throw money at any mercenary looking for a payday.

Someone mentioned on here the Bobby Ewing moment. Very surreal few months.

We have a decent squad that can play some really good football given the right direction. It’s clearly the “lunatics running the asylum”

I don’t take any pleasure in seeing someone so clearly in need of some professional help. TBF both Stoke City should have, and us have a genuine duty of care here, Luton I don’t know. I am no expert but someone has to recognise that he needs removing from this situation for his own good. I mean this in a positive way and nothing to do with football.

Sunderland I think did it as well.

Nicola, Rickie, even Adkins in that era was great. L1 with Marcus was in hindsight a great re-set for us and ultimately got us to where we are. I would hate for SR to take us back because I just don’t think that the desire that Marcus and Nicola had is there.

Yes I meant NzzzzzJ but not (fell but Feel)
