Indeed, and thank you for highlighting exactly why we're getting relegated... The odd great performance against a top side and woeful performances most of the time against the rest.

It turned out that wasn't the sub that killed us in the end. Taking off Lavia was the big mistake.

Positives: a draw against one of the champions elect is a superb result that we'd all have been delighted with before the game Negatives: 3-1 up with 2 minutes of normal time left and we substitute Lavia for Diallo. And even if we'd won, it would've just been yet more false hope given we know that we won't turn up in the next game We limp on...

Hmm...

Game over...

£50m

Indeed #wishicouldbemorepositivebutweallknowwhathappensnext

Even if we go on to win this, the joy will be tempered by the inevitable shite lack-luster performance in our next game

Just saying... 15 minutes too early....

This. Put your life savings on a 3-3 draw

With all due respect, I'm not touching yours with a saveloy, let alone a barge pole

Selles = Genius

If Alcatraz isn't injured then surely Selles has to be sacked for gross misconduct?

Given most of the teams already in the championship will be a major challenge for us, another couple of better teams won't make much difference to our prospects...

Take the emotional element away from supporting a football team and, yep, relegation is ultimately inevitable for a club of our size at some point in time. Even if all 20 clubs were as good as the Man Citys and Arsenals of this world, 3 would still be relegated. As my pub landlord says on quiz nite: there's no shame in losing, someone has to lose. The trouble with this Saints team though is they can't even be arsed to answer all of the questions... and the team captain is asking the geography expert to answer the music questions... (Other analogies are available)

I blame those that welcomed his appointment in the first place...

If we're to believe what we're led to believe, not only had things become "stale" under Ralph but there was also a quorum of senior players that he had fallen out with (or visa versa). You can't keep a manager if he's lost a significant portion of the squad. As I say, that assumes what we're led to believe is true. But, as others have said, it's not the sacking of Ralph that has led to where we are today, it's the lack of a decent successor. (That, coupled with a mediocre squad of course)

Just to clarify, is this thread for 'useless former Saints' info or useless 'former Saints info'?

You missed the usual passive-aggressive ", right?" or ",yes?" off the end...
