Cheers mate 👍

Have you got a link please?

And presumably weren't attuned enough to the supporters to know that a good chunk of the fan base thought Lallana was a wanker

Nah. If they're going to get rid, it will be after Pompey. They're cowards, and they know they'll need him as the fall guy during and after the derby, otherwise all the heat will be on them and no-one else. Then after we lose on Sunday, they can sack him to keep the heat off for another week or two before giving it to Lallana or Dream Academy to guide us seamlessly to the actual relegation.

Exactly, that’s my point. But he obviously won’t, so that would leave Archer as our only remaining number 9 to provide the attacking focal point for the rest of the season, with literally no other options. Not only would we be relying on him to be our main source of goals when he’s clearly not up to it, but we would never be able to drop him, rest him or even sub him off, without playing someone random out of position at centre forward. Just Cameron Archer, for 95 minutes, every game, often three games a week. Surely even SR aren’t that dumb, so it’ll mean that Armstrong stays until the end of the season, but won’t want to be here and we’ll just get more of what we saw against Hull where he appeared to have finally just given up.

And started both games with three centre halves and five at the back. For defensive solidity, obviously.

We have got significantly worse since Solak went ‘hands-on’. How he has succeeded in any business is beyond me. He’s a fucking clown, who surrounds himself with other clowns. He should start a travelling circus. Although he’d probably find a way to fuck that up as well. I wouldn’t trust that cretin to sit the right way round on a toilet.

West Brom were absolutely appalling tonight, the only side I’ve seen look as utterly lost as we do

West Brom had more possession and lost 0-5 at home Just goes to show what a meaningless propaganda stat that is, literally worthless

Norwich now 5-0 up away

Of course he was The cut of his jib would obviously put him firmly on SR's radar as a great prospect and one to watch Fuck me 🤣

4-0 🤣 West Brom collapsing like we did against Boro and look absolutely awful. Their new manager Ramsay looks as clueless as Tonda.

Norwich now 3-0 up away. Managers don't matter though, right?

Now 2-0 up

Norwich winning away at HT, scored a good goal and looking good value for it. Doing the basics well and looking organised and competent under Clement. They’ve got themselves out of the bottom three as it stands, replaced by the skates. WBA look poor. As it stands Saints are 5 points off the relegation places, with two of the teams below us to play in the next two games. We are in a relegation battle now, make no mistake.

Who’s playing no. 9 if he goes?

Fuck me, if he goes we’re reliant on Stewart and Archer 🤣 Cheers Johannes

Our captain, ladies and gentlemen. The dressing room is rotten to the core.

It's hard enough to find a decent goalscorer at the best of times. In January, when literally no-one is going to sell anyone decent, it's basically impossible. That's why you end up with overpriced, panic buy crap like Carillo and Onuachu, or complete non-entities like Orsic or Gronbaek. And that was the level of shit we could attract when we were in the Premier League, not 15th in the Championship and 6 points off the relegation zone to League One. At centre forward, Spors had the chance to make us competitive in the summer. He chose to spend £7m on Damion fucking Downs. So now we're going to be seeing out the season relying on Stewart staying fit*, other teams letting Armstrong have the only type of service he's effective from *, or Archer looking like a footballer*. Spors has utterly fucked it, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. (* Spoiler: they won't)

Might as well just make him manager after Tonda gets the boot after our inevitable humping by the skates. He's got as much experience of managing a senior first team and it's not like he could do a lot worse. He's obviously full of great ideas, and if he's got his badges let's just cut out the middleman and let him show what he can do. La la la la la la la la la la la, Rasmus at the wheel, at the wheel, Rasmus at the wheel

19 games left to play, and 57 points left for everyone to play for. It currently only needs a six point swing to put us in the relegation zone. We have a clueless management team, no coaching pedigree of any kind to speak of, no leaders or fight, players who don’t care or have given up, an utterly defeated fan base and an ownership who are fundamentally unable to make a single good common sense decision that doesn’t just make us worse. We are in absolute freefall. Relegation’s not just a possibility, without major change at this stage I’d actually be more surprised if we managed to find a way to stay up. That’s what SR have reduced us to.

Russell Martin’s role on the board awaits

Aaaah I see - cool 👍

That’s weird - you’ve quoted me there but that’s not my quote, it was from ant I think.

Spot on
