Exactly how I feel. Just like my old man passed this curse of supporting Saints onto me, I've gone and done the same to my two boys. My eldest though, won't wear his Bednarek shirt anymore - can't blame him really - and his interest isn't what it used to be. My six-year-old is still fully into it, the other day he piped up: 'Dad we've got 6 points - if we double that we'll have 12. That should be easy, right?' Poor lad still has that innocence about him, he hasn't been properly Saints'd yet.

We've become the black sheep of the Premier League, breaking all sorts of unwanted records - the two 9-0s, and we're also the Prem side with the most frequent heavy defeats (frequency of 4+ goals shipped). Just when we thought the stench of those thrashings had finally worn off, Russell Martin rocks up with his one-dimensional, delusional tactics, turning us into a proper meme. Chatting with my mates who support other clubs, it's gotten even worse - we've gone from being the league's laughing stock to them actually pitying us. Suppose in the midst of all this apathy towards the club, I've come to the grim realisation that there's a genuine chance we'll break Derby's record. Question is, am I the only one feeling this way? How much more humiliation can you possibly stomach?

How many points did Derby have at this stage? We already got two fucking 9-0's hanging over our heads, and God knows how many more high scoring games where we've been on the receiving end, question for everyone: How much more embarrassment can you possibly take? For me, beating Derby's record would be the last straw - there's got to be a limit.

Why do we always ship so many goals? This shit goes back before even RM was in charge. At this point we've accumulated so many embarrassing records at this level... They should just give us a ban from playing in the premier league.

Derby we're coming for you!

1-0 Forest. These rarely score a lot (which is good for us).

Hard to believe, but we've been by far the better team here. FU Martin!!

They're never going down, at least not in our lifetime. Slap them with another points deduction and they'll just start winning every game from here on out. Everton will outlive even mankind, same as cockroaches will.

Leicester looks like they're going down with us. Ipswich looks really shit, but the difference is that they've been able to grind out results. They'll still go down I reckon.

Should have him play in midfield. He’s clearly not a goalkeeper and I don’t think it’s too late to change his position.

He's more of an outfielder than a goalkeeper imo.

It’s fucking sad

Is it me or do we have a bad record of shipping an awful lot of goals? Even before RM.

Worse than the 0-9s? Calm down.

I've not been happy with our possession lately.

We're so much more enjoyable to watch now.

Well, yes... 5 points after 16 games isn't exactly very impressive, is it? It would've been concerning if he claimed we were meeting expectations.

That would deffo top our 0-9's.

We should take a punt on a foreign coach imo. What do we got to lose?

Looks like Russball to me. Will take time.

Lets batter these scousers!

Make fun all you want, but that banner did the trick! These lads are heroes now.

I wonder what happened?

Playing in the Premier League brings in £100m in TV money and who knows how much more in indirect revenue. Surely they'd want to priotise keeping this up.

They let in 3 goals after subbing Danny Ward in who's probably the 2nd worst shot-stopper the premier league has ever seen (worst is Baz).
