And a massive two fingers stuck up to the fans. I paid out nearly £600, a huge percentage of my yearly disposable income being a pensioner, for a season ticket on the premise that we would at least give it a go this season. That season ticket was not sold to me as a spectator to one man’s vanity project, to watch him gloat about having the best stats for keeping possession in our own penalty area or whatever. To those who defend him, in my opinion you are defending the indefensible. The only thing bigger than his ineptitude is his ego….or perhaps his ability to bullsh*t.

If only….

For that reason would probably have been better moved to Miami as well. I don't know what the buses are like from Hedge End to Miami but I think I might have to get up quite early to catch one.

Probably because of what they witness week after week watching Saints.

So he is a wannabe pep. It's still not working though....

The biggest reason for him to go came out of his own mouth recently. That is the moment when we will have to trust the model more than ever because the temptation to move away from it will be very strong. Russell, matey……IT AINT WORKING.

Ah, the good old Coven of Twats.

I think the powers that be could be prosecuted under the Trades Description Act. They still call it sport.

You do realise that this being a forum other opinions than yours are available and equally valid. You pluck shit out of the air, you need to give others the pleasure of doing so as well.

That's the whole point. The PL is a cutthroat, merciless place and time is one thing you don't get. Get it right pretty much straight away, and that's from the top to the bottom, board decisions to manager decisions to player decisions, or you're adrift at the bottom.

You usually only win the lottery once. I firmly believe we went up despite Martin not because of him.

Martin could turn Messi into Manning after a month of Russball.

The crap that comes out of this man's mouth. We're on a journey alright, and with him steering most can see where the destination is.

I'm torn on this one. Part of me wants the club to go there and beat the mighty Arsenal, it's my club and obviously want them to succeed. The problem I've got is that a big part of me also wants them to go there, play archetypical Russball, get right royally rogered, the board to wake up and give RM his marching orders. At the moment I'm undecided as to which I want more.

Amazing insight

Where is the one coming from?

For those who still don’t believe the difference good managers can make I give you Havertz. Going nowhere at Chelsea, reinvented and reinvigorated under Arteta. It makes me wonder how well some of the players, usually inventive, creative players that Martin didn’t rate, would have done under a halfway decent manager.

Watching the Arsenal PSG game what is already obvious is how well and in what numbers Arsenal press. Gulp…

Then what’s the point of supporting them? As I said elsewhere if there was fight, if there was a manager who could adapt to at least compete then I wouldn’t mind. To be honest I think you are the deluded one supporting a manager who clearly isn’t up to it.

Biggest issue is constant team changing? If only. The biggest issue is having a manager who is inept but has a my way or the highway attitude, who thinks that despite the world and his wife ( not only the weird fans) knowing for a certainty that his way won’t work in the PL won’t change, who won’t pick his best team (to be fair there’s not a lot to choose from), who spouts enough crap and hot air to make the planet 2 degrees hotter, the list goes on. I suppose I ought to get off the fence and say what I really think…..

The Brighton manager is 31. He seems competent.

Not only this but they are collectively taking the p*ss out of the fans, the ones who turn up week after week to watch this garbage overseen by a manager whose chief asset is bullsh*t (witness the pressers and after match interviews) which is not backed up by any top level management capability whatsoever. This is seemingly condoned by the owners who by letting it go on would appear to be content with and resigned to the fact that we will go down. They owe it to us as much as to anybody to reinstall some pride in our club. If we were to go down fighting tooth and nail, playing something that at least resembles good football, do you know what I wouldn’t mind. But what we are seeing at the moment does not make me proud to be a Saints fan.

You know you're old when people are talking about false number nines, double pivots, playing with verticality and your immediate reaction is WTF?

Do you reckon they'll do a manager swap?

Just watched a bit of RM’s presser. If bullshit was ten pound notes that man would be a billionaire. Disclaimer . If we start winning I reserve the right to completely change my mind and display how fickle I am and lavish him with praise. If…that word again.
