Sheaf Saint

He was in stand at the Bristol City game last week. I can't think of another good reason why that would be, unless there was some element of truth in the rumour that he is being lined up to replace Still.

Can we please put this myth to bed once and for all. Our best spell of form under Ralph, that saw us top the PL table this time 5 years ago, came long after Rohl had left the club. This notion that Rohl was the brains of the operation and that Ralph was useless without him is total bullshit that is somehow still persisting in the minds of too many people. I said it recently and I stand by it - I would fucking bite your arm off to get Ralph back here now. He's the ONLY manager we have had in the years since Koeman left that was able to get a limited squad performing better than the sum of its parts. Yes, I gather he fell out with quite a few players, but fuck them. Most of them have left now anyway. And those leftover have had it too easy for too long now with managers who are too pally with them.

What is it that you think needs to be called out?

Only one person, as it transpires. The second has been confirmed as not involved and been released.

Seems like Dragan and co. are just asleep at the wheel.

Does anyone actually know what came next in this presentation? Cos they've well and truly broken it. I assume there must be some kind of plan for what comes after? Anybody?

I can't believe they've even let him do any media this evening. He should have been marched out of SMS with his P45 straight after the game. The simple fact is that if we carry on performing as badly as we have been, we will undoubtedly get relegated. And that's in a league where the basket case bottom club has had a points deduction so realistically there's only two places to be decided. I've seen nothing, and I mean literally NOTHING to suggest that he is capable of turning this round. If anything we're getting worse by the game, not better. If he is still in post when we go to QPR in a few days time then SR will be sending out a clear message that they do not give a flying fuck where we finish or what division we will be in next season, and that is totally unforgivable.

We need to drive these fuckers out now. They have sucked every last bit of joy out of supporting this club, and made us a fucking embarrassment to the football league with their "oh so cleverer than thou but actually not" approach. Dragan may well have good intentions and has been badly let down by those around him, but the buck stops with him. SR and everyone involved with them need to be made to rue the day they ever set foot in SMS and be ashamed to ever show their faces in Southampton ever again. The gloves need to come off now. No more of this "support the players on the pitch" bollocks. Being nice and respectful during games hasn't worked, and creating a toxic atmosphere can't realistically make the performances any more shit than they already are.

Pretty sure the vast majority of us don't need hindsight to recognise that. It was obvious even before we appointed Juric last year that's what would be needed.

The Jander one that was tipped onto the bar, and possibly the Robinson one that hit the defender's head.

Anybody still in the 'Still In' camp? Anybody?

Right. If SR don't act now after that then they need to be run out of town by a baying mob with pitchforks. How the hell they can just sit on their hands and continue to let this total shitness unfold is baffling beyond belief.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! Fuck off Saints you bunch of utterly useless fucking pricks. Every fucking single one of you.

Ooooooh. Downs actually managed to (mis)control the ball and have a shot!

Well at least Guido Carillo must be happy that he's no longer our worst striker signing of all time.

Downs just ducks instead of trying to get up above the defender and get his head to the ball. Absolute fraud of a footballer.

Of course he hasn't.

Down Down Down Down with Downes and Downs.

That was the chance wasn't it. Oh great - Downs for Downes.

No, there was more to it than that. Like I say I don't know the full details, but my nephew was good mates with him at Everton (as well as Dobbin, interestingly) and from what I gather there were more personal reasons.

It was a mutual decision. Not sure of the exact details of it but he wasn't happy and we agreed to cancel his contract and release him.

Why Did Mads delay soooooo long then? FFS!

He epitomises our total shitness.

Yep. Any momentum we had at the start of the second half has quickly evaporated. Struggling to even get out of our own half now.
