12 goals in 19 appearances for Leyton Orient! 4 goals in his last 3 home games! Could this be yet another own goal by Sport Republic? He's only playing in League One for now, but should we find ourselves in the Championship in the long term we may be missing him...

We've had their pants down on this one Fair play

Why has a Llama turned up to protest?

None

Liverpool

Reports say that Rasmus' pitch was that 'the Championship is more fun than the Premier League anyway'

This weekend in the Cup. Saints beat Doncaster 3-2, and Pompey are trounced by Arsenal 4-1. Though the gulf of calibre of Doncaster and Arsenal is obviously huge, and Saints' win wasn't very convincing, so maybe best not to shout it from the rooftops...

Mediocrity, and nothing but

Kane

Lovely shirt. Club aren't getting a penny from me.

Yep. Not everything can be modelled with data and statistics. Mindset, emotional state and decision-making come to mind. And our players seem to lack in these areas.

RIP

I just worry it will be too little too late. There is a monumental amount of effort required not just to build a well-sized, effective squad and pick the correct manager, but to reform the culture of the club and build a resilient attitude within the squad. Given SR’s track record, I worry they will underestimate this task and think a new keeper and new striker is enough to arrest a fall that has been ongoing since year 1.

from PFF to Barclays, I’m glad to see Saints is poaching personnel to build a recruitment dream team to execute our finely crafted sporting strategy

The worst signing under SR?

Fantastic thread

Feels like what happens on the pitch is almost secondary now compared to what happens off it

many think that we didn’t deserve to be in the pl and stunk up the league for many years, plus we are all middle class poshos and that portsmuff are a real fanbase

Yep the businessification of football is in full swing. Suits with dubious background setting the strategy in all reaches and at all levels

They only engage when they're doing well and have never seen a statement from the club admitting that things were done wrong and they will change their approach

This is it, isn’t it. Since the beginning they’ve brought in personnel who have spent their careers thus far at a lower level or club. Originally it was thought that this was to think differently or break new ground or some bollocks, but now it’s clear that SR can’t deal with someone who’s actually worked on the same level or similar sized club because their ineptitude will be exposed and pushed back against. Gutless pathetic and egotistical owners who dress up with blue sky thinking.

Stop going to games. if you really need to watch live football, visit Sholing or Eastleigh.

He will be a top keeper one day

If Saints were a Championship or L1 at the time of acquisition I’m sure we would be in administration by now.

Wonder if our next guy will be under 30?
