After all this we'll probably go and fluke a win now.

Maybe he knows he's getting sacked. Would explain picking Manning, making sure he gets a Prem start in his career.

Do you see Russell Martin in the room right now?

Arsenal over 4.5 is 4/1 on Coral, surely easy money? Should soften the blow.

I would imagine when they actually line up KWP will be playing as a winger.

It's alright though, he's only up against Bukayo Saka.

Manning!? Fucking manning!? Martin needs to be investigated for breaking gambling rules we're about to ship double figures.

Our own website FFS.

I just realised there is no way they'll sack him before the international break because they have that charity game arranged Saints legends V "Martins legends". Have to admit it'll be rather entertaining to see a team of Saints players who made their name playing direct attacking football and being solid at the back take apart a side of the players who Martin thinks played his football style the best.

Cant help but feel jealous.

Games against the likes of Bayern, City and Liverpool you should just have your whole team practicing shooting from the half way line. Any time you pick the ball up in a bit of space, ask the question.

WOW what a goal by Duran for Villa.

5-1, we can barely keep up.

2-1 to Stoke now, Sam with the assist.

I don't agree that the players we have are suited to this style of play. I think that's a big part of the issue.

His stock is relatively high, not sure he would risk undoing years of making a name for himself in 6 months of losing with Saints.

I reckon it'll be Arsenal. Put him up against Saliba and Gabriel, best aerial centreback pairing in the Prem, and then drop him again for the rest of the season.

He's always been an arsehole when his decisions are questioned.

Was that on Solent?

Because they had effective styles of play that their Championship players could perform in, we are trying to play like City with Championship players.

I've already accepted relegation, so at this point I am curious to see just how badly Martin can fuck this up, yes.

If I don't watch us at our worst I don't feel entitled to enjoy us at our best. Cheers, better than being miserable about it. Try to see the funny side in more situations you'll live longer.

I think he'll go after this but there is a part of me that's morbidly curious to see what Arsenal would do to this team.

I'd love to hear the thoughts behind those who think we should keep him.

Yep. That's the reality of the situation, Bournemouth can (somehow!) spend £37million and we're scrabbling around buying relegation cast offs.
