Cheers, Oxford were causing a lot of issues on the counter first half and really ought to have scored with a couple more, especially on HT 8 yards out with clear sight of goal. First one the visibility wasn’t good through the bodies but it reminded me of a Ryan Harley shot with similar venom through a crowded area at Exeter 2011 where Kelvin made an excellent late save and Rickie did the business up the other end. Gavin’s wrists are dreadful for a goalkeeper. I don’t hate him, or Tonda, or any of their other vanity windows for SR’s madness but I do properly hate Ankerson with a passion and Dragan as well. Bazunu and Eckhert are just visual metaphors for SR shittiness in the same way the Austin Allegro was a metaphor for the death of the British Car industry at scale. British Leyland and SR - a lot of similarities.

Made good jam and mincemeat as I remember it.

I turned over at HT, was the second goal his fault? First one was more Jack than anyone else plus a very clean strike.

Plane flying over SMS for the Millwall home game please and make sure Sky know it’s coming so it gets a good 60-90 seconds on camera. Even House and Blackmore might have the backbone to mention it.

@S-Clarke is more on the money, they wanted another kiddie/unfancied underdog grateful for their job who wouldn’t challenge Rasmus’s crazy experiments. There’s ample evidence of that. My involvement will be very distant until SR are gone lock stock and barrel. I despise them in a way which transcends anything towards Lowe, Branfoot etc.

Don’t waste your breath, Jimmy is one of a small band of supporters who are still sipping the SR/Rasmus Koolaid on the corporate formation, style, etc.

I blame these people https://www.rasmusankersen.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragan_Šolak_(businessman) They are in ‘charge’ so can’t be called scapegoats really.

Agree with all of that, just hope the skates get dragged down with Saints this year. Relegation/administration only way out. We’ve been there before. Not scared of it.

TBH Badger it was me genuinely laughing as the anger dispersed years ago. I don’t have anything against Tonda per se, he’s just another figurehead for Rasmus’s experiments and playing FM in real life. Therefore, I can’t respect him either. If he declares publicly that he needs a #1 keeper and striker then I could change my mind. But I don’t trust any manager SR appoints in summary. The only way to recovery is parting company with SR and if that’s via relegation or administration then happy to roll the dice. The club is dying under SR anyway so just speed process up a bit.

No offence Jimmy, but you can’t keep blaming the officials at full time. Oxford’s wage bill is probably 5% of Southampton’s so if they got a bit of the rub of the green then it levels the playing field and they deserve what they get. They were easily the better side first half before they turned over. If your club ponces around the pitch playing the corporate style with no commitment or movement then you deserve to lose. That’s before persisting with a corporate formation not working and a L1 goalkeeper.

I would laugh my head off if Saints and Pompey go down, their Disney bloke loses interest and Dragan finally sells up a thumping loss to someone who knows what they are doing and win L1 next year.

Relegation hopefully to free the club out of SR’s clutches.

It’s what Southampton Football Club needs right now. Dragan won’t want a third tier club with our overheads in the group, and someone decent might actually buy it at a low price now that dickhead Semmens isn’t doing the selection.

Did Oxford score? 😂😂😂 Couldn’t happen to a more dislikable manager, set of players, Director of Football and owners. Sympathies with the Saints fans who travelled up there.

It was bad enough in the first half, sounds like it got even worse second half after I turned over to stop falling asleep at SR corporate-ball. Cheltenham’s star player just got subbed, high-fives the fans coming off on brink of another home win in front of a full house. All of the things we’ve forgotten about in the sport. Cheltenham have enjoyed a takeover recently, and it’s badly needed in SO territory.

Has he committed perjury?

Might as well contribute something because he can’t defend.

Andy Cole of the Championship.

Agree that unlikely his offspring would be good at football.

Epitaph of his time at SFC.

Aribo is the size of a house. There were fitter people in my local pub at lunchtime. Neil Shipperley minus the van wanking.

Best way is to enjoy other games on, that’s I’m doing and feeling a lot more more content than being anaesthetised by SR corporate ball. Then get a Eastleigh, AFC Sholing or Winchester City ST next season.

I’m watching the far superior game at Whaddon Rd, is the second half at the Kassam or whatever it’s called really as bad as the thread suggests? It was appalling after 15 mins in the first half and I escaped the SR Valium dose.

Add that to a kiddie Rasmus is pulling the strings of and it’s a recipe for decline, relegation and hopefully administration to get these morons out of the club. Cheltenham v Shrewsbury a far better game, quicker and more skilful than the crap Oxford and Southampton were serving up.
