Come on. FFS.

Unbearable....this is an insanely vital 15 minutes. Want to hit fast forward so badly.

Nice!

Could do with a Bournemouth goal...it's going to be one of us, Huddersfield and Swansea now...other long-shots pulling away

Damned good point. Come on, Griezman and co...

Where are Saints fans gathering on Sunday? Baker Street?

Now, I'd take 2-2 ;-)

Damn. Well, I'd now take 1-1.

I'd take a 0-0. No question.

Terminal collapse

Depends totally on which division we're in. If relegated - which I think is likely - I'd definitely keep Redmond and Long. If we escape the drop, I'd definitely sell them.

Odd substitution, but good to see the halftime teamtalk worked!

We are getting pummelled here....

Hmmmm...not a great opening 15 minutes

It's an absurd situation. In some ways, it's so bad that I'm starting to fear staying up on goal difference even more than going down. At least the latter delivers a reboot and a wake-up call of sorts. It's beyond insanity that Pellegrino is still in his job and probably speaks to a much wider dysfunction at the top of the club.

Still worth sacking him?

Great start

Yep, I'd agree with that. Given we have won only 5 games out of 29, if we can win 2 out of 9 (which would be a much higher win rate than for the first 75% of the season), we will probably just make it.

This is so desperate and frustrating.....

I agree with that. Branfoot was ghastly and wrong, but at least he had some sort of footballing philosophy, however rudimentary or neanderthal. The current manager is just totally clueless.

Total shambles. Probably too late to avert relegation now.

Excellent player. Worthy of the armband. Has played well.

I actually think something like 2 wins and 2 draws will be enough for us to stay up. Just.

Yeah, but it's not really the way to measure it, is it? I'm more worried about points than position - at least assuming we aren't bottom three. We've gone from getting 60+ points, to 49 last season, to now being in a position where I'd rip your arm off for a final tally of 40. It's a poor trajectory, even if we got an unlucky "non-decision" in one match a couple of weeks ago

I put just under £1,000 on us to go down at about 10/1 on Betfair Exchange (think it averaged out at 11.2 ...so 10.2/1). That was after the Huddersfield 1-1. My rationale was that I'd need about £10,000 to compensate me for the misery of relegation if it happened. My secondary rationale was I genuinely thought there was a much higher than 10% of us getting relegated. All in all, though, I hope I lose my stake. Not sure you can really work out how much you need to offset the misery!
