Indeed, however, having owners with ambition, but who spaff their money up the wall, are worse than owners with no ambition, in my book. #falsehope

Add 'holding the fans in contempt' to the growing list of faux pas that this manager and the ownership have presided over...

Absolutely crazy if they get 2 days off after a game, especially after a defeat... Surely that can't be normal for a professional football club playing in an elite league, can it...?

Cheers for the insight James, but here's hoping its a different 'line of contact' to the one that fed you this info on Nathan Jones' credentials....

And his wife's maiden name is Allen.... Hmm....

Mobilise? I've seen colonies of sloths move quicker than the SFC board...

Maybe its a subliminal message.... Archer.... Arrow....

Always a good tactic to come up with a preemptive cover story so it can be wheeled out as an alibi at moments like this...

Source?

F**k it... Given we're already as good as down, give Big Sam a 6 month caretaker contract on a "nothing to lose" basis. Would just like to see what a 'proper' manager could get out of this squad in the PL. You heard it here first (and last).

Fair point Adam 👍

It genuinely baffles me why the fans in the stadium seemingly don't see how totally flawed Martin's approach is and just sit there meekly game after game. Bizarre.

"Plucky defeat"... 🤦‍♂️

In terms of performance, as comfortable a victory for Villa as it was for Chelsea on Wednesday but, of course, Russ will dwell on the close scoreline which belies our underlying ineffectiveness. Defies logic to keep Martin in situ but since when did logic ever play a part in Sport Republic's modus operandi...?

KWP should clear that but instead we give away a corner...

Aribo on for Bree

☝️

Yet again, only 1 goal down to a top 6 side. Living proof that 'Russball' is working and it's only a matter of time before we turn the corner....

Oh oh... Lumley just kicked it long to one of their defenders... That's a week's wages docked right there..

It's taken Martin longer than usual to stifle the natural instinct of this player but he's got there in the end...

Already ticked that off the Saints bingo card when he was first way offside 15 minutes ago...

I like Adam but it's obvious that he's wary of rubbing Martin up the wrong way given the way he tiptoes around asking directly critical questions.

Fixed it for you...

FFS

Armstrong way offside... Tick #saintsbingo
