Wash your mouth out.

To be fair, that is true of just about everyone who has played.

But he reports to Saints CEO and will be based at Staplewood, so it sounds like Group is Southampton.

or indeed of the fact that he was not registered with the PL.

Antonio? You mean the almost 35 year old who has recently been released from hospital after breaking his leg and is expected to be out for about a year. Not sure that would be a great option, though we have been known to sign crocked players in the past.

5-0 it is then 😆

Brother from a different mother ?

It was ever thus. Fergie time...

But it's only Swansea. Oh wait...

Dead leg basically finished Gaston Ramirez's career (in England at least).

Hopefully it won't. Hope we can upgrade Aribo, Manning and possibly Bree, at least. If Downes is fit that's Aribo sorted. Sugawara for all his faults is a better option than Bree going forward, and maybe Bomber could replace Manning.

Hopefully Dibling will have a better game. If we can adequately replace Manning, Bree and Aribo (the weak links yesterday), and Bednarek is fit, think we could give Man U a decent game. At times yesterday we looked very good going forward, albeit with all the caveats that we were playing against an average Championship team playing a much weakened team. Maybe we will see Welington bombing down the left :-)

You're right, Bath and Bristol would batter us, might be OK against Exeter or Newcastle though.

Well he hasn't conceded any goals for a few weeks now, so here's hoping. 🤔

It really doesn't matter what formation we play the players are basically not good enough, and when your only defensive midfielder is injured you are totally screwed (even though he is not really good enough either).

Where do you get mediocre? With a very few notable exceptions they are poor.

No, RM was the problem, but it is also true that the squad is not good enough, hardly any PL quality players, no manager was likely to turn this cows ear into a silk purse.

Crikey, it's a barrel of laughs on here today. All the tactical geniuses having a melt down.

Of course he has, no one looks like he does otherwise 😉

To be hones, Brett Ormerod would probably walk into our side right now.

We're better than Man City, at least according to 'form' table 😂

Bomber likes Wellington so he does

Exactly, but looked pretty good going forward, was a real plus today. Maybe if he gets played more now he will stick around, clearly did not suit Russ, or Russ didn't suit him. We looked better today, no messing about at the back, but there were still too many sloppy passes, so often we did all the hard (good) work defending and then passed it out straight to a Fulham player. Fortunately Fulham were having an off day and didn't hurt us. Actually thought Wood was decent, likes to play a long ball, which is presumably why RM did not play him much. Dibling having his worst game was maybe not opportune, given Ivan was watching on. He can be so much better than that. Love to know what happened to the Flynn Downes who played for us last year.

No mention of any coaching staff, who will probably find it harder to get visas.

Interesting Rohl thinks people know his history (at Southampton). Have read comments in various places that would suggest even Southampton 'supporters' know the square root of feck all about his history.
