Nah mate, they're refunding my ticket. 😁 But seriously I will be getting heavily wankered on booze in Reading with my mate enjoying the weather in some pub gardens, before gorging myself on Steak and Red Wine in the evening. If anything I'm looking forward to this more than had I been off to Wembley tomorrow.

Hmmmmm, now what crimes can we actually commit that will stop people talking about the spying... Actually maybe don't answer that. 😁

I don't hate him but his position has become untenable. We need to move as far away from this spying saga as quickly as possible and that means removing everyone involved.

Once they sack Doris the tea lady for spying on Baristas in Starbucks, there shall be an opening.

I'm sure there aren't many managers who can add the Vertu EFL trophy to their resume on top of multiple European winners medals so I say bring Emery in for a long term project and when we hit League One, that's his time to shine.

He's even missed the fucking flames! This guy couldn't even catch a break.

That's just fan bantz, same as the gilly suits etc. No worse than "You're not singing anymore" or whatever when the other club goes a goal down. It certainly does not mean we deserve it. (Well maybe the twats chucking missiles at the Boro coaches do, that's not acceptable but anyway they're massively in the minority.)

I'd take a punt on Charles but he was injured twice last season with shoulder injuries which is a concern. Other clubs like Leeds, QPR and the Old Firm duo are interested. Plus his brother will probably warn him about joining such a bonkers club. 😁

Bella-Kotchap is no longer with us, joined Hellas Verona permanently in February. Taylor, Smallbone and Aribo are all out of contract thank God. So really it's Baz, Sugawara, Larios, BBD and Downs on the "please get out of my club" list. I suspect someone will want Sugawara after he's been picked for the WC. Larios - maybe someone in Spain will want him as he keeps getting loans there. BBD should get interest from someone else in the Championship. Leaving Baz and Downs. It's possible they might stink the place out next season unless we can offload them. Downs I hope still has some credibility in Germany. With no other GKs bar youth contracted, we may be looking at Bazunu back in some capacity. There's a lot of work to do for whoever becomes our manager.

6 nil win against QPR in a 4-3-3 formation opening day. Hattrick for Downs, 2 for Archer, 1 for BBD. Whatever were we worried about. #hmspisstheleague

More likely they'll tease us for a few minutes with West Ham and Everton early goals before taking it away from us again. Much like when we scored early against Man U on the last day of our Prem relegation season in 2005. I think we were "safe" for about 9 minutes.

Gone 9am and no sign of any sackings on the SaintsFC homepage. There are, however, still highlights of our glorious but irrelevant Semi second leg vs Boro. So that's good.

-4 points isn't the be all and end all, we effectively have to try to get promoted over a 44 game season. Although with management and player overhaul it remains to be seen how possible that will be.

Matthias Jaissle. Done well in Saudi League and looks a bit like Tonda.

Premier League in May 2027 - "Oh shit, they're coming. Update all the rules and hire the best lawyers!"

You mean Spurs right? 😁🤞 "Dear heavenly Father, please could you ensure West Ham and Everton win on the last day - to take the heat off Saints for a bit. Cheers Bro."

I had a pretty bad dream last night that we got expelled from the final and our appeal failed and nobody got sacked for it. Mad right? Anyway. Anyone else looking forward to the final? We should beat Hull I reckon.

It's very conflicting to get a manager who has actually done a good job to turn the club around and yet want him bloody gone at the same time. His replacement better be good.

And that is probably a best case scenario. I rather hope they're not fucking here by then though.

Their performances in recent months have been admirable to brilliant and they are not to blame for this. Us fans get most of my sympathy, especially the season ticket holders and away fixture devotees, but the players come second. I really wanted to see what they could do in the Prem, with a few additions and SR and Tonda have stripped that away from us.

Players who might still be here (all IMO and it's very difficult to decide right now) based on Wiki first team. GK - Baz (unless sold out or loaned). That's it. Macca will leave ooc, Jones released and Long loan ends. Peretz? Loan ends. Moody? Yes. Ramsdale? Sold. Major surgery here. RB - Bree? Possibly. Roerslev? Probably. Sugawara? Sold. Jelert? End of loan LB - Manning? Probably. Taylor? Released. Welington? Maybe sold. Larios might still be here though! CB - Jack? Yes. Wood? Yes. Quarshie? Yes. THB? Sold. There's also Kayi Sanda. CM - Jander and Charles sold. Downes? I'm on the fence. Bragg? Yes. Rom maybe moves into a coaching role. Aribo? Released. Smallbone? Released, probably. Williams? Yes. Sesay? Yes. Major surgery needed here too. RW - Matsuki? Yes unless sold. Fellows? Yes. LW - Leo? Sold. Edozie? On the fence, maybe sold. Robinson? Yes. Surgery here. AM - Fin? Sold. Need more AMs. Striker - Ross? Who knows. Should sign him up. Larin? End of loan sadly. Archer? Yes, maybe. BBD? On the fence. Maybe loaned again. Downs? Sold/loaned. Oyekunle? Yes. Major surgery here too. Plus a smattering of our younger players like Dibaga. So probably 2 keepers, 1 left back, 1 centre back, 2 CMs, 2 AMs, 1 LW, 2 strikers - 11 players needed. This is all IMO and a worse case scenario but it means I can look back through the summer and see how dumb and stupid I was. Besides we don't know which part of the roller coaster we'll be on come July.

Bring back big Ralph! He can even get another 9 nil loss and it still wouldn't be the most embarrassing thing to happen in 2026.
