Saint NL

Chris Sutton really doesn't like Jones does he? His normally very tame prediction column on BBC is just a big rant about Jones: Southampton v Wolves It appears that the majority of Southampton fans don't want Nathan Jones as the club's manager, which never bodes well. To be honest, I thought that after some of the things Jones said after last weekend's humiliating defeat by Brentford he would be gone by the end of this week. I am not dismissing his ability as a coach, and I also think he took on a really difficult job when he arrived at Saints at the end of last year, but some of the stuff he came out in that interview was just remarkable. I don't think I've ever heard anything like it from a Premier League manager before. If Southampton lose this game too, St Mary's will be a powder keg and I still think it is just a matter of time before he goes. Have they improved under Jones? No. Has he upset a lot of the fanbase? I think he has. Southampton have got the worst home record in the Premier League this season, after taking six points out of a possible 30 so far. So, Jones desperately needs a result and a performance to turn things around and maybe he will get it, the same way he got one against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup last month. I don't see it though. Wolves have got much better under Julen Lopetegui and we saw with their win over Liverpool last week that they are playing with confidence. If they go in front, the atmosphere could turn toxic. Sutton's prediction: 0-1 Oli's prediction: I've got to throw a draw in somewhere, and this is going to be a horrible game. 0-0

This time tomorrow, I wonder what we'll all be thinking. I haven't looked forward to a league game like this in a long time. The football will be poor, but the story around the game is fascinating.

I'm sure it'll be a draw. Its the worst possible result in a way, because this nonsense just lingers on. Next league game is away at Chelsea, which we aren't expected to get anything from, so it rolls over to the Leeds game. Either we beat Wolves and they back the manager, or we lose and he's fired. A draw is just purgatory and time we don't have.

What time will Nathan be sending the drone up to get the game postponed this week? I'm guessing 3:27pm.

Feel dirty for wanting Man United to score another and win this....

I see a few with PFC in their username that want Jones to stay 😂

Are you playing midfield?

We need to get our iPads out, and write barely visible words showing our displeasure

Imagine Ralph is the new Leeds manager and steers them to safety at our expense.... 😳

Really looking forward to this game. All outcomes lead to lots of drama and interest for the fans. 1. Jones has gone and we have a new manager. 2. Jones stays and we lose (toxic). 3. Jones stays and we draw (confusion with some light toxicity). 4. Jones stays and we win (Mixed emotions for many). The football is secondary to the storylines, it's like wrestling but with slightly less steroids.

Well if it's faith they need, I know a guy.....

Today's the day then fellas, what time will the announcement be? 10am? The sudden release of joy as this little scrote is kicked out might galvanise the squad and fans and give us the boost we need. Here's hoping...

Have I? The heart wants what the heart wants I guess.

Serious question, has he ever been seen in the same room as Liz Truss? She disappeared and then he was appointed. Now she's making her comeback and he's on his way out.... 🤔

Klopp has also been talking shit, the pressure is getting to the managers. This is perhaps more mental than NJ 😂

Just refreshed hoping to see he's been sacked. Useless twat can't even do that right.

This better be live streamed. I can see a small Welsh person ask a question from the back row: Mr Jones, your management style seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train, why are you so popular?

Are we getting a Netflix behind the scenes show? It'd be entertaining tbf

Not in a million years should he be associated with a premier league team, so he's correct

You can't survive after saying that. It's just not possible 😂 So he's gone, who is next?

Is he...... accepting responsibility? 😳

If we sack that clown now, it'll give Fat Sam a week of practising freekick and corner routines 😎🔥😎🔥

😂😂

Thanks Nathan, you're time is up. Thanks for the win against Man City reserves. You will never return to the Premier League, so I hope it was everything you dreamed it would be. Now leave with grace and let's never speak of this again.
