Cue Jaws music...

For me the sad part in all of this is that the owners don't value Southampton Football Club, any prestige it might have left, any good name it might have salvaged, any aspirations for it the fans might have. It has become a business pure and simple owned and run by people who couldn't two hoots about the sport side of it.

At least we've replaced him with proven quality. Oh hang on a minute...who?

No no no no... I couldn't go through that again.

Thank you. I needed a laugh today.

If you get a chance watch the film Nuremberg the parallels between the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, his ambitions for Germany and ideas for the rest of the world are scarily similar to Trump's methods in the US and his vision of his place in the world. don't we ever learn anything?

The way we are playing lately I think even a late battle to avoid relegation might prove to be a tad optimistic. It really is dire.

Halve the dose matey...

Isn't that what they call zonal marking?

Which league though? Your, to me, unfounded optimism is not shared here.

Feeding off the players non work ethic, the give nothing for the badge, just need to turn up to win attitude seemingly prevalent at the moment.

The frigging ball hit him in the chest as he was falling over...

Specsavers would do a roaring business with some people on here. Gavin Bazunu is a crap goalkeeper full stop.

Mom in the present Southampton team is a pretty low bar.

The crux of it is the very average players who play for, perhaps, the clubs you have mentioned work their arses off for the badge. Saints players don’t atm, maybe they have an instilled mindset believing the first two sentences of your post and think they just have to turn up to win. Also I don’t think I’m imagining it but I think we’re playing a different sort of football now to when TE was on probation. It almost seems to be back to Russball (shudder) with the occasional long ball thrown in. Whatever it is it patently doesn’t work in terms of either entertainment or results.

Not if it's to his left he won't.

I am sick of reading ‘on paper we have a quality squad’. I would rather we had the, ‘on paper’, worst squad in the league but one that showed a will to win, an ability to put a shift in, work their gonads off and not let their heads drop when there’s a fight to be had. I see it week after week in other championship teams, so called lesser players giving everything for the badge…..our lot just seem to be paper tigers atm, when they need to show what they’re made of they can’t, or won’t.

TBF took a Nick off TBH on its way. Think Banzunu might have got there apart from that.

Standing on some sort of box down at the front at the Dell, nose just about at pitch level, watching Terry Paine and John Sydenham belting up and down the wings, the smell of the wintergreen ointment wafting through the air.

This, exactly.

As we hurry to the centre line to take the kickoff after the opposing team has scored a goal due to our pissing around at the back.

That's this week. Next week when the decision goes in our favour...

Watching it with the sound off now, that Scottish bloke is really pissing me off
