Toussaint

Ability in passing around at the back was the main reason used to justify his selection. Whatever style of play his future team plays he will still have to do an awful lot of work on commanding his area and saving goals.

Great memories, the best time to be a Saints fan

He caused havoc when he played against us.

I’d have Bree and Taylor back now, they’d both be an improvement on what we have currently.

No, that was Hitlers right hand man. I don’t think he’s still playing

This definitely isn't the time to be taking punts on signings they hope may come good

You mean AI scout-bots

They have similarities to us, although on a massively different scale, both clubs have been very badly managed over quite a long period, both clubs operate a controlling influence over the playing side, both have horrendously messed up with buying duds. Like it or not, Man Utd are a huge club globally who are massively underperforming. We are (were) a very well established premier league side who are looking to become a well established championship side, if we can win a few games here and there.

Ref is a coward

Barnsley look better than us.

I'd take any of those below as an away day, providing it doesn't get moved from Saturday afternoon. I don't care who we get at home too much. 7. Wrexham 8. Chelsea 10. West Ham United 11. Brentford 12. Fulham 14. Liverpool 17. Arsenal 18. Leeds United 19. West Bromwich Albion 20. Salford City or no thanks to Swindon 24. Newcastle United 28. Bristol City 30. Macclesfield 31. Brighton & Hove Albion

1. Wolverhampton Wanderers 2. Southampton 3. Aston Villa 4. Port Vale 5. Wigan Athletic 6. Ipswich Town 7. Wrexham 8. Chelsea 9. Manchester City 10. West Ham United 11. Brentford 12. Fulham 13.

I nearly mentioned Norwich, as I agree that’s where it really seemed to start although the result masked our shortcomings.

Why so pivotal? My belief is that is that was the point Ralph ball had really been worked out by the premier league, The narrow 4 2 2 2, with little or no protection for the full backs, which resulted in them being over run and centre backs being pulled out of position. Ralph had no answers and was eventually sacked, we all no what happened then, and so far it hasn't got any better in the managerial appointments.

Five foot Martinelli out jumps the 6’4 Pompey defenders again. 😂

🤣

That too.

He is a fan, but it’s a bit weird and not quite right that he got this gig, it’s too one sided and brushing off their weirdo fans touching a player, it’s a serious issue and should never happen. Come on the Arse.

Setting rivalries to one side, Pompey fans are embarrassing, moronic inbreds.

That is the worry, it’s hard to see how we could do a Sunderland or Leeds given our serious issues on and off the pitch. We are light years away

Maybe it was initially? Anyway, the rest remains

I’ve gone with what is currently the most popular opinion, late battle to avoid relegation. For those who think we’ll do better, where do you think the wins are coming from? We are in a huge funk right now, I can’t see a way out of it. My only glimmer of hope is Ross stays fit and we make a few really good signings that stay good and don’t get dragged into the funk.

All I can say is I never said or even thought that. I have consistently believed we had to get promoted straight away or we’d just be another former premier league club languishing in the championship.

Heard a rumour that Saints are abandoning the lasagne, wedges and garlic bread at half time?
