Sorry can't see us getting anything here. Should pan out exactly as Turks has suggested. Maybe with added misery of a sending off.

Gnonto looks like a real player

Proper Ralphball last night. Less than 40% possession, first man goes second man gambles all over the pitch. First goal illustrated this perfectly. Well played all involved with that performance.

I had the feeling while watching tonight that we’d played how Ralph would have had us playing had he not had to compromise after the 9-0s. Not exactly the football version of ‘Bazball, but a positive step in the right direction. Great stuff.

Very influential. Jimmy Page said by comparison the rest were mere mortals

I wonder if Nathan Jones and the prick Gullis are related?

Couldn’t agree more. Villa away last year the rot began to set in. Whatever the reason it’s been a long time coming. Just our luck that we didn’t get a new manager bounce with NJ with the same players who’ve been fucking it up for nearly year. Sadly I think the toxicity it has generated has come to a head, it’s almost a ‘perfect storm’ for NJ. Pre restart I genuinely thought 4/9 points would be doable from our first three games. Lose v Brighton, point at Fulham, beat Forest at home. NJ isn’t my choice of manager and he comes over as a bit abrasive but using the latter as a stick to beat him with will get us nowhere. Just adds more toxicity. Perhaps listening less to the opinions of a bunch of ‘Stokies’ might be a help? up for nearly a year

It’s even more fun when we’re losing and people are losing their shit on here.

Over 40 years of teaching. Now retired. Never been threatened, only time I was really sworn at was when I was asked, why the fuck I supported Southampton!

I remember her telling a story on TV as to why Phil Vickery nicknamed her 'Minty'. If memory serves me right that involved no knickers and a smashed jar of mint sauce.

I was about to go into the Oracle this morning.

Thank you Mr Takei

Don’t it be silly it’s not that good 😂

Very sad, too young. Always though he scored the first league goal at SMS but it was Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and plus he was finished by 2000 anyway. Funny how memories play tricks. A very, very good player, up there with the best who've played in the Premier League.

I saw my first match in October 1963. I was five. This year marks sixty years of Saints for me. Quite frankly I couldn’t give a shit anymore.

Picked apart piecemeal for eight years.

There’s going to be crossness after this on here I feel.

I think my Samsung washing machine does those

Indeed, particularly the 9-0s he lost his bottle as a result.

T There is the rub. Lack of respect by Premier League players to a Championship manager. Why would you play for him?

I reckoned 4/9 with a weak squad over Xmas and New Year would have been the bare minimum. His Saints supporting in-laws need to have a quiet word in his ear.

Chicken and egg?

If the worst does happen there’ll be no Lavia, Tino, JWP, ABK, KWP, DCC Salisu to name but seven.

Saints always shite with a diamond

Don't always agree with you but I'm with you on this. Stanley Tucci is great as a guide through the country's cuisine.
