Mr "Saint" has left the stadium... @gio1saints?

We want 9!!!

AZAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZ

Fuck Gary O'Neil still going after the restart

GOOOOOOOOOOALLLL!!!

Wanky cross time

In all honesty we really need a convincing win today. Sheffield Wednesday have had heart in a difficult situation but they are working with a skeleton crew and if there's any team we beat on paper it's them. A dominant 3-0 could do wonders for momentum. Over to you Tonda.

Norwich

Fuck Off

4-4 hungry eyes meet hungry eyes

I would be interested in hearing more about this 'blame game' that is happening in the boardroom.

Fair play some can look past it but having someone with this visible of a connection as manager is just humiliating to me

This is true. Our last Portsmouth player was a great success.

For a bit of Friday fun let's think of the best and worst starting eleven we can make with SR signings only. That means all players signed from summer 2022 whether they were permanents or loans. Academy players are banned unless they were brought in during SR's tenure. You can define 'best' and 'worst' in whatever terms you like. For ease of posting that means the following players: Amo-Ameyaw, Bazunu, Lis, Bella-Kotchap, Lavia, Aribo, Mara, Caleta-Car, Edozie, Larios, Orsic, Alcaraz, Bree, Onuachu, Sulemana, Maitland-Niles, Abu, McNamara, Manning, Charles, Lumley, Awe, Stewart, O'Brien-Whitmarsh, Downes, Fraser, Holgate, Harwood-Bellis, Rothwell, Brooks, Lallana, Taylor, Edwards, Wood, Sugawara, Brereton Diaz, Matsuki, Akachukwu, Archer, Juan, Fernandes, Dipepa, Ramsdale, Traore, Welington, Kayi Sanda, Udoh, Takaoka, Ugochukwu, Cornet, Gronbaek, Quarshie, Downs, Roerslev, Azaz, Fellows, Jander, Scienza, Romeu, Long, Jelert Here's mine. Best: Ramsdale Jelert - Wood - Bella-Kotchap - Taylor Lavia - Romeu (C) Brooks - Fernandes - Scienza Stewart Worst: Bazunu Sugawara - Holgate - Larios Cornet - Maitland-Niles Gronbaek - Orsic Mara - Brereton Diaz - Downs (C)

If I was feeling cynical, I would say that the timing of Romeu's signing was a tactical measure to dampen the negativity associated with appointing O'Neil.

I absolutely agree but the skatey part is a sticking point for me. Maybe it could be forgiven if he was half decent…. But he is crap. I would pick Carrick honestly.

Gary O’Neil is bottom of the bargain bin as far as I’m concerned. This plus the revelation that Rasmus is still meddling should be fuel enough for protests SR get out of my club

Gary O’Nil When we fail to have shots on target

RIP

Congratulations to Martin on being appointed Eastleigh manager!

Insane signing for this level. Actually, forget 'this level'. Insane signing. Every one of the wasters in this group should look to Romeu as a model player. I can only hope this is the turning point for our season

I don't have one, it's just my gut instinct.

Because nobody else wants to come

I think it's pretty clear we will not be getting a hard bastard that will whip the squad into shape. That's just not SR's style. Nor will we get a 'pedigreed ex-player' manager. SR like an ex-player for dressing room vibes, and Romeu will continue this trend following Lallana and Walcott. SR have not learned from their mistakes, they will just continue to impose the same 'strategy' they always have.

Tactical nuke, incoming!
