Indeed and it didn’t even take that long: The earliest mark 1 travel machine Daleks overruled Davros behind his back in “Genesis” and restarted the Dalek production line, and when he challenged them on it they simply exterminated their creator. Nice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Indeed and I believe that Madras is called Chennai. Something to do with shaking off the last vestiges of their former colonial masters.

The Board have managed to kill any goodwill in the fanbase over the last 18 months. The story of Saints decline ought to be used in Managment textbooks and MBA degree courses for decades to come as a "How Not To Do It: Errors That Wreck A Great and Lean Sports Business".

"The Project" to turn Saints into a Pocket SuperClub, tucked in under the Big Six, was on borrowed time as soon as Marcus croaked. Then, once Kat decided she really, really couldn't get interested in football and dumped Cortese it was dead in the water. Since then it's been managed decline with Kat getting out of here as fast as her conscience and the marketplace for small Premier League Clubs would allow her. She honoured her father's footballing legacy only superficially, reminiscent of a widow who runs off with the fancy man indecently quickly after hubby's coronary.

Journeymen players = club going nowhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, not ageing well this thread.

No one wants Big Sam of course because his advent at any club means you are staring relegation in the face and he is required to perform his annual Houdini act. Unfortunately, my crystal ball has swirling imagery of Gao sat at a Formica board table, picking up a phone with Reed stood behind him looking very fat and sweaty, and Goa is dialling Sam. The large Saints Crest clock in the background above an empty trophy cabinet, has the date 19 January 2019....

Club is dysfunctional.

Austin and Long are well past their sell by dates and are lower league material. We flounder around buying mediocrity in search of their replacements, and have the same type of bloated squad of journeymen we did before the last relegation, and we are again reduced to employing the sort of managers who can only just tread water in the premier league at best. I fear it’s only a matter of time before the trap door opens.

The whole St Mary's 'show' is embarrassing. The so-called atmosphere dire. Sanitised patronising crap served for tourists and gormless students who secretly support Man U.

Ah. Indeed.

Oh dear. Schneiderlin subbed off before half-time.

Tottenham playing with no verve, passion or guile. Oddly out of sorts. Looks like they all had 20 mg of Valium with their breakfast Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A badly written article.

Yea that made me nauseous too.

Over 4 years on and Judas is still injured, while Shaw is at long last rehabilitated.

Tremendous.

I think this has mostly been covered in the thread: "The Issue of St Mary’s"

I suspected as much....

A few short seasons ago we bestrode south coast football like a colossus, and our legions of fans could s****** at the minnows either side of us that spanned the length of Wessex from Hove to Argyle. Now, we are careering down a path to being eclipsed by Bournemouth and Brighton.

^ why are Newcastle exempted? Especially given that the away fans are watching from low-earth orbit where they put them!

Lallana looked like an utter c nut when he came on. Nothing changes.
