Gloucester Saint

Unlikely, SR love a knee jerk reaction to criticism after being passive for ages and a heavy Fratton defeat is ideal for that. It’ll be Garner, more defeats and then Pearson or someone similar to perform a last day 2008 style escape final days.

Treat yourself and the dog to a nice walk well away from fish territory. This channel has loads and Rob’s Hampshire Pub Walks is a good one. You’ll be bussed past where you live twice on the bus, and have to drive Warsash to SMS twice again, all to watch several of Russell Martin’s mates not try a single leg for the shirt and have their island mutants celebrating as they score more goals than there are teeth in the Fratton End. That bell and trumpet to listen to as well… If the players didn’t give any sort of shit in the home game, they’ll really not give a toss about competing at the rust shed. 2005 was bad enough, but this has potential to be a lot worse.

They didn’t though, wanted to get at Saints fans going back to Fratton Station stopped by the coppers. Turned it on the police and surrounding streets such as Goldsmith Avenue, loads of vandalism, 100 or so arrests and the record set for the youngest ever UK football violence arrest (which may still stand). And they won 1-0! Although how Phillips’s shot hit the inside of the post and didn’t cross the line is still a surprise. Losing Killer in the warm up was fatal longer-term. Will be at least 3 or 4-0 next Sunday to them, the Saints players bar Fellows, Scienza and Bragg (assuming Charles won’t be fit) know we loathe them as much as the skate players and they’ve not run or tried a leg since December. At least two goals conceded from Wood, Manning or THB passing to each other in their own box. If they had any common sense, they’d actually try for this one to avoid grief at SMS games afterwards but they know our fans are too spineless to call them out.

Get the Swansea (plus THB and Bazunu) out of Saints.

Saints go Wilder.

Oh God @Pamplemousse don’t join the Martin crush 😍 stalkers on here, you’re too good a poster for that. Moreover, I want the wankers he brought in and/or lionised - Downes, Manning, Wood, Stephens, Bazunu et al all gone permanently.

I’d put him in temporary charge for Weds and the derby until they can get a Mowbray or Pulis type in to keep us up.

Relegation is nailed on without an experienced manager to halt the slide. Might be a last day escape ala May 2008 even if that happens.

It were a load of bloody rooobish, Harry Brook has no shot selection and the bowlers no line and lengths like we had in Yorkshire in the 1960s. Oh sorry…wrong Boycott

Did you meet a nice girl from the Valleys and become a PE Teacher?😉

Come on @Wade Garrett do your stuff

The tug and pull happens now when Rasmus looks at today’s possession stats. Lots of crusty socks in the SR boardroom.

He gurgled ‘Branfoot Out’ from his cot in Germany.

Don’t mind that though, decent pro at this level and not known to be a trouble maker. We’ve not been good for his career. He’s a RB but can and did play LB tidily, there’s scope for that at the moment.

Agree on all of that although one of the Martinettes (Fraser) has gone Down Under at least.

Ta ra Johannes, the main culpability is Solak and Ankerson, but you’ve appointed two-sub Branfoot, Pellegrino, Selles and Nathan Jones computer game adolescents to a man’s job. Time to go as well.

Break someone rather than something eg Southampton Football Club would a start https://www.rasmusankersen.com He’s as knowledgable about football as the 17 year old who was on Wogan trying to buy Aldershot Town in the 1980s. And yes, I agree @S-Clarke Solak needs to make good on his promise now. It’s well beyond SR having even 0.1% credibility with our fanbase or in the city, or the sport. He had the chance to bin Ankerson off or limit him to Goztepe but he bottled it. Ta ra Dragan.

Add in Bazunu, Wood as basic minimum as well. De-Martinisation needed.

Ditto and same goes for next Sunday. I’ll be having a nice walk somewhere if the forecast is dry with my phone staying in my coat pocket. If it’s wet, local pub with no TV and my Kindle.

Manning again. One fluke free kick v Wrexham and he’s on set pieces for 46 games. Another Russell Martin Wankers collection member.

I have a nice pint of Hook Norton Mild on the go. I think this guy is also a Saints fan but it it’s dry, do another one of his walks next Sunday lunchtime if this doesn’t appeal. Save yourself 90 mins of stress and anger because those weaklings are not going to try a leg at Fratton. Or if you play golf, do that.

Nailed on for 21st or 22nd unless Solak intervenes over Rasmus and Spors to get a Mowbray or a Pulis to get the basics in place to avoid the successive drop and a few days to get some steel in at CB,MC and ST.

More or less agree but Tom, Leo and Casper are good enough to be starters and Fellows is proven as a top player at this level. He must wonder what the hell he has joined. Clear the rest though.
