Toussaint

I don’t want see Ralph anywhere near the place. I was glad to see the back of him, it’s who followed him that’s possibly causing the nostalgia. He was awful for his last season and a half. I’d much prefer to keep Rusk (and Lallana)

We’d need a minibus at least

Is Rashford finished? He was poor Saturday and looks awful tonight

Oh dear Villa!

He’s harmless and doesn’t have bad intentions, from what I’ve observed. He can be irritating but that’s easily managed by exercising the choice not to engage. Some of the pile ons have been very unsavoury over the years. I can think of a few more obnoxious characters on here.

Saintsloyal out, embittered hate filled little hobgoblin.

It’s an astute summary of a man with undoubted narcissistic personality disorder who is at least in part responsible for the situation we find ourselves in. You do now narcissists do not take responsibility for their destructive behaviours?

If he achieves anything close to that sort of upturn In form he would legitimately bring himself into consideration.

How the tables have turned. I saw this on a group chat last night. Unai Emery was appointed in November 2022 as Villa manager. Very close to that date Nathan Jones was appointed for Saints. There was only three points between Saints and Villa in the table. Tonight one of those teams is in Champions League quarter final. What a shocking indictment of our ownership.

To be fair, from the outside, what is there to like? All of the attributes that held is in good favour wit neutrals have long since evaporated.

Get a life

Excellent listen. Blackmore on top form.

Current odds for next permanent Saints manager Danny Rohl 4/7 Frank Lampard 9/1 Liam Rosenior 9/1 Steve Cooper 11/1 Kasper Hjulmand 12/1 Sean Dyche 14/1 Simon Rusk 16/1 David Wagner 16/1 Gary O'Neil 16/1 Gareth Southgate 20/1 Michael Carrick 20/1 Pep Lijnders 25/1 Julien Stephan 25/1 Russell Martin 40/1 Lee Carsley 40/1

He continues to be a stain on the pants of Southampton Football Club.

It always was only about him, classic narcissist.

My stream is 7 minutes ahead of the actual game, Archer has just completed the perfect hatrick

We didn’t convince either, and a number of that squad will not be here next season.

It’s not over, you doomsayers. All we have to do is win all our remaining games and the three above us lose all of theirs and we’re home and hosed. Come on chaps, let’s have some glass half full!

I’d like to see a performance similar to Palace, but I’m not too hopeful if it’s a midfield of Smallbone and Aribo.

I like him more than any manager we’ve had in a very long time. I don’t have an issue if he stays. Spors seems to rate him, give him the players he needs and a full pre season he could do the job.

Bednarek was brilliant and Stephens was fine. If there was any inevitability in the equaliser it was because palace are a very dangerous attacking team and we have less than zero belief we can win a game.

And / or he’s just massively overrated?

Injured apparently, coincided with his bestie Russ getting shit canned

No ambition

Relegation is good business.
