Gloucester Saint

Microphones can pick up discontent and chanting though. And do. He can’t avoid you at home games next up. The best way to get rid of him is to lose his head in interviews like Jones did. He’s not far off it, hence the Walter Mitty ‘everybody is so supportive in Southampton and Winchester’ after Chelsea. We know it’s made up but when he really crosses the line and loses it with us like Jones did, SR will act. You don’t even have to swear or risk ejection, a slow handclap in place of the ‘we’ve got the ball chants’ is audible and no-one can eject you for that. But it will wind Russell Martin up a treat. We all hate the style of football as much as did Branfoot 30 years ago.

Away games are a good place for Martin and SR Out banners, less likely to be confiscated or destroyed than home games. At home games, there’s been some notable pockets of discontent - after two of the dickhead goals conceded against Liverpool playing Martin’s dreadful dirgeball and the ‘We’ve got the ball’ Weds night. It needled Russell nicely, so we turn up it up x5. Media are noticing it as well. Time to turn up the volume, the manager won’t change so force SR’s hand on changing the manager. Protests lose them sponsorship, signings from Rasmus’s shitty AI databases - that’s what SR cares about. Jones was really sacked because he lost his head in interviews - Martin is not that far off doing the same, but the fanbase should push him further towards that. We did it to Jones and we need to again.

There’s an away end that grew a pair of bollocks when it comes to challenging an appalling and insipid away display where they should have been hammered 3-0 or 4-0. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c878xrw894eo

Prefer Cooper but OGS would be alright. Anyone who doesn’t enjoy 30 passes between centre backs, a goalkeeper slice and a goal conceded would be 100% upgrade right now.

Nathan Jones is disliked at that level but Russell Martin is genuinely despised. Was chatting about a recruitment gap a couple of work colleagues had today, WBA and Sunderland fans, and joked that Martin might be available soon. ‘Fuck off, wouldn’t employ him if he paid us’ and cited several incidents of provocation to home fans when Swansea played away. Swansea fans on here mentioned about that not being one of his positive traits either. Wish his teams had a hint of that on the pitch! OK if you win to be an arse but that’s another Achilles Heel for him.

Russell is truly the laughing stock of the Premier League. A lot of clubs’ fans hate him in the Championship as well because how he behaved at Swansea games.

Liked it, need more of that humour. Plenty more Martin out and Sacked in the Morning needed but some dark humour is important to make Russell feel small and cheer ourselves up.

Rasmus Ankerson will be buying them so that’s a given. All the more reason to not employ the worst manager in our history for another season to mitigate the Danish disaster.

Nobody. The parachutes give us a big advantage season, quite big season two. After that you cut your cloth. Far more prospect of Cooper and others taking us up than Martin. It won’t be scar tissue after this season with that cunt in charge, it’ll be 90% body burns.

And lost to a set piece. Ange is good on camera but they concede some very basic goals for a top 7 side. Whereas their great rivals have scored more goals from corners than anyone else in Europe. Eat that stat and eat shit Russell Martin. If it’s good enough for Arteta, good enough for a prick like him.

No guarantees whatsoever that happens, and SR’s complacency is infecting the fanbase in that and other regards. Come on fellow Saints fans, think critically unlike those boardroom muppets lit up last night on camera as their failing football club sank yet again without a whimper. Even if we did, Martin is the worst ever PL manager by any metric.

Passing and moving is lovely to watch, what we did under Lawrie when I first watched, Nicholl, Ball. WGS, Poch, Ralph - we pressed but then zipped it around in midfield and opposition half. Koeman - we passed and moved. Don't confuse a zippy passing game with ponderous shit leading to leaking 2 a game and no goal threat like our dickhead of a manager does. Clough’s Forest counter-attacked but they passed it than anybody.

The Championship is a tough, highly competitive league. Sunderland 5-0, 9 conceded to Leicester, Stoke and Hull at home, Cardiff away. Two stronger and bigger clubs will come down with us, I was going to say better run but Everton are about par with Saints for being pathetic on that front. Might get top 6 under Steve Cooper, mid-table at best with Martin and remember Ramsdale will go and Martin will put our worst ever keeper Bazanu back in, along with Stephens his best buddy.

Up to the fans as well. If protests and empty seats get onto Serbian national TV and press from Dragan’s domestic rivals, he won’t like it one bit. Rasmus will cop it and then do what every bullshitting little political rat does in the workplace and push his mate Russell under the bus as soon as they find a way to it under PSR. If the crowds don’t turn the pockets of dissent from the last two home games into something more substantial, they’ll lose what’s left of their club. No other top flight or good-sized Championship club would let what Martin is doing for his own agenda at their expense run on for months and years. Mass boycott would be even better but our fanbase doesn’t stick together like it did in the 90s and 00s, lacking the humour and bite we had. The threat of people’s kids watching Bournemouth, Brighton, because they don’t want to watch that dreadful slow, loser crap for playing style should be motivation to help force SR to flush the toilet on Russell. Gauntlet is there for our supporters - our generation did our bit with first Branfoot and then later Lowe. Their turn now. Not having a go at you at all Saint Clark, I know you can’t stand him as much I cant, but I can see in your mindset and others that the bastards are wearing you down. Don’t give Martin and Ankerson what they want. We shouldn’t give them a millimetre, neither of them have the club of our parents at heart.

Stephens, Martin or both?

Mind you, there’s normal SFC shit and then there’s Russell Martin-inspired torrent of diarrhoea from the biggest breed of dog in the world which is a horrific light green colour, stinks 😷 to high heaven and makes you gag going near it. Right, time to make my dinner.

Still saves on petrol and travel and helps the club. What I ought to have done in 08/09 as a STH then but my attendance kept encouraging Lowe et al in their experiments. There are lots of lovely museums and cultural things to do instead. Empty seats speak as loudly as any protest and our fans refuse to protest these days like we did under Branfoot and later under Rupert.

Just send Villa a 5-0 win and save the sad souls who were paying to watch it some petrol and train fares at least. SFC is like a kitchen that’s failed an HSE inspection and poisoned half of the diners. Shut it down until there’s at least a chef in place other than Rusty the Clown 🤡

And said so many nice things about Russell beforehand again, which the two vain pricks (Martin himself and Rasmus) are totally mugged off by. As they have been all season. Fuck me, Rupert Lowe was better than this shower called Sports Republic. Massive mystery how Dragan got his money, must have won it in the same lottery BBD won to play professional football.

You have your view, I have mine. Sometimes a club and a manager aren’t right but the manager goes on to do well. Whereas your mate has conceded a relegation amount of goals at three different clubs. Indicates he can’t organise a defence and team structure - bit of fundamental one. The goals against at MK, Swansea, SFC beats blah blah blah. And Cooper’s record at Swansea kicks RM’s arse to boot.

He’d joined from their fierce rivals, it had as much chance of working out as when Redknapp joined from Pompey. Harry shouldn’t have come here, Steve shouldn’t have gone there. Didn’t do Harry much harm and Cooper will bounce back. I reckon we’re the type of project he’d consider if Rasmus kept his nose right out. Cooper also has made a promoted side stay up and compete and took them up from 23rd place. As Trousers said, Wilder already a top 10 finish in the PL, went back to the Blades and working out well.

No, needs to be a proper manager like Cooper and given time. His record is one Rusty the Clown could only dream of but a bit damaged after Leicester. Good job, because SFC is a smouldering wreck.

Steve Cooper or someone else would be cut quite a lot of slack. As long as the team aren’t giving 2 goals away every game from pointless passing between the CBs and Keepers I think we can live with anything else. Quite frankly, beating Derby’s low points record would represent success right now post Rusty the Clown. Do pass this onto the club.

Who’d want him? Rooney might, if he survives there, loan him home and pay 95% of the wages. Might help all parties.

Welcome to the silent majority Roger, although it’s been slightly less silent the last two home games. Judging by his arrogant post-match ravings, the penny still hasn’t dropped with Rusty the Clown.🤡
