Come on Leicester!

Get in Spurs!

I reluctantly sent off my application form for the 'Ralph Out' club just before our superb 'Top 6 form' run from December to March. That run led me to believe, like many others, that he had found the key to the consistency door at long last. But, alas, it would appear, in retrospect, to have been a false dawn. I'm therefore, somewhat reluctantly again, dusting off my 'Ralph Out' membership card as I feel the club needs the kind of fresh impetus that only a new management regime can bring. I still remain baffled how a manager can go from seemingly being a genius at some stages of the season to someone that resembles a clueless buffoon at other times. For sale: #legend hashtag. One careful owner.

If only we had someone on here who already knows what it looks like....

Words you don't expect to see in the same sentence....

Eddie Howe's Bournemouth conceded more than 60 goals every season during their Premier League tenure, and he's one of the best managers around...

Caught some of what Dragan said at tonight's awards ceremony... Something about him seeing Saints as a "dream factory" where young players can go enroute to fulfilling their ambitions... Or words to that effect.... Nothing revelationary there... Just underlining from the horse's mouth what our modus operandi is, and will be going forward... i.e. buying young potential and selling would be 'superstars'....

I see we've gone "A-List" with our choice of end of season awards compere this evening. Maybe this is a symbol of our ambitious to come in the transfer window this summer....?

Emery out!

I thought League One fixtures were done and dusted?

Supporting Saints in itself is up there in the bravery stakes...

Khaki?

Get in Ronnie! #7 #legend

You've got to look at it from the doom-and-gloom brigade's point of view though.... The worst-case-scenario will inevitably come true one season and then they get to play their "told you so" cards and pat themselves on the back for being so insightful...

Yes, I know. I was attempting to suggest, in a slightly sarcastic fashion, that every result counts as much as any other, regardless of when in the season it was.

My favourite Saintsweb thing is people selectively remembering what people say every season...

Why have those two matches 'saved our bacon' rather than, say, the draw vs Man City in September and the win vs Spurs in February? (There were a few other favourable results I could have picked at random)
