Football Special

We've had plenty since Branfoot as well, don't want to start debate now but overall Branfoot at least saw some results for his methods keeping us up and getting to a cup final! I remember a couple of fans getting banned for throwing their season tickets at Pellegrino after a dismal home defeat, guess we can't do that now they're on an app 🤷🏻‍♂️

I still get frustrated/ angry at the defeats, throwing away a lead in 2nd half again makes it hard to take, but putting time , effort and money in is starting to take its toll, think will give up away games for a bit in the new year just a waste of time now, would like to be at last game at Goodison that's about it. FA Cup 3rd round draw this weekend is always good. In a season as dreadful as this the cups at least provide some distraction

Last I heard was Martin had been assured he had the backing of the board, could have changed last few weeks but I really think they're going to keep sticking with him

That is true for those who stay until the end, assuming we're 3-0 down by 60th min would expect most of the away end to be long gone at full time

You need to lighten up Lighthouse

I'm getting flashbacks to Diego Maradona in his prime https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15j42RpVTM/ https://x.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1861092968007917669?t=QEvR4X1qTXuYnZg1KkGuLg&s=19

Perfectly summed up. McCarthy is a GOALKEEPER whose main qualities is saving shots, not being a sweeper.

Tall Paul looks genuinely chuffed to have the love of the fans, he gets such a good reception and hearing his name sung he knows we're behind him , he was loving it yesterday

All that happens is we don't gift the ball directly to an opponent in front of our goal Stop putting players under pressure where they are not good enough, asking.for trouble

EXACTLY some of McCarthys saves were decent and kept us in the game, just stop asking him to play it around at the back, he's not bad for a back up keeper

Also, any compliments from the Liverpool manager yet?

Has anyone got a clip of his post match interview they can post on here? Travelling back from the game everyone seemed to be moaning about his tactics, think as a fanbase we're reluctant to get into a toxic manager out campaign having gone through those before, we've all been hoping something will turn it around and I do thank him for that day at Wembley in May. But if he wants to start getting sarcy about ironically cheering then fuck it let's show him how disliked he is now. Brighton will hurt him as well back in his home town

I still think he's had an easy time of it at St Mary's, no Martin out chants, or Russell Martin your football is shit, surely just a matter of time though. I remember his having verbals with fans a few times last season, might have been Rotherham home someone in Itchen Centre let him know what they thought and Martin allowed himself to get drawn into a row, sensitive to be criticism aka negative energy that he assumes relate to scar tissue before he joined

Have to agree with you, had small itk info and Saints/ sports Republic really persued Nathan Jones at Luton and made it clear to him and the Luton board he was our man and we were prepared to pay up his contract to get him, he wasn't convinced about joining us, Luton were quite pleased to make some ££££ out of the deal.

I'd imagine they are looking at Premier league records since 1992 as usual but point still stands, terrible record that they should be ashamed of

I said he used to be a farmer in Nigeria and that's how he looked after one of his animals

I had to explain to my kids what a massive cock is and why he'd put it in his sock, bit awkward.

Cunts selling half and half scarves Cunts buying half and half scarves Cunts wearing half and half scarves Saw too much of that today

Yeah he needs to go, even though we're already down it doesn't make these results/ mistakes any easier to take, a real shame and a missed opportunity sacrificed at the alter of playing it out from the back philosophy I do feel the need to say I have no confidence in SR getting an appointment correct though so Martin going in itself won't necessarily improve things

Gifted them all 3 goals, feel sorry for players who did their bit being let down again

Ring Liverpool's hotel and let them know, see if fall for it like we did at Reading in the 90s (Was meant to reply to post about game called off)

Have just watched the weather forecast, could get the game called off or certainly make the conditions a good leveller, that being said would suit a team launching it to a big man rather than trying to pass it out Hopefully get a game like this

Just noticed Southampton Central station is closed all day Sunday due to engineering work, bus replacement for those that rely on the trains to get to home games , makes Sunday even less appealing

Maybe so. But also worth noting Gavin Bazunu injury, we're down to our 3rd choice keeper, most teams would struggle

This time at least we can blame the injuries , spine of the team Ramsdale ❌️ Bednarek ❌️ Downes ?? Stewart ❌️
