Man City - 4 titles in a row, cooking along nicely for a 5th then BOOM!! Pep praises Russell Martin

I’ll chip in here. Totally agree. It is fucking weird.

Ha yeah. We all know it won’t be.

Just 1 win needed to avoid the ultimate humiliation.

8 ducking minutes!

Either that or amazing how shit all our other CBs are.

He’s our best CB, Christ on a bike that attitude must be BAD

It seems he’s destined to never get on the pitch for us again HK my old pal.

Unless we do it in the last second of injury time I simply cannot get enthused by us taking a lead this season. It’s virtually irrelevant.

Cash comes into it too. We’ve spent what we’ve spent pretty badly but thanks to the laughably misnamed FFP (which with VAR is the main reason I’m getting utterly disillusioned with top level football) we aren’t allowed to spend what it would really take to make us competitive.

Plus 1. We need a complete sea change. They may well be good enough for the Championship and even get us out of it again but just imagine them having a crack at beating their own record low the following season. 😬

This 100%. There should be an absolute time limit, I’d say 1 minute and even that’s too long. It’s shit, it sucks all the spontaneity and enjoyment out of the game, and it doesn’t even do what it’s supposed to do which is iron out clear and obvious errors. Instead we have the bizarre spectacle of them examining replay after replay, angle after angle for any tiny shred of evidence to either overturn or not overturn the goal depending on which team scored it or if the VAR team are mates with the ref and want to make his original decision look right even if its wrong.

You edited that post and it still has the ‘word’ tekoarioy in it 😀. Generally agree though!

Detest this team, ST, this league, and VAR. Fuck the lot of ‘em.

Hell yeah. Utter load of old wank. This season is enough to put a man off it PRRMANENTLY.

Ha yeah I’ve noticed the usual piss taking has turned into genuine pity/sympathy. People genuinely feel sorry for me that I support Saints.

Is this the first line of a reimagining of ‘One man went to mow’?

That was the equally unfatigued Sully TBF.

Proved we can mix it with the big boys in that 2nd half. That SEVENTH point of this epic season is tantalisingly close.

I have to say I fear our star is very very much on the wane. I think the best we can hope for is a few seasons of Norwich hopping but even that is unlikely and is an utterly fucking depressing thought anyway. I didn’t think the level of disillusionment I feel right now was even possible.

If we play like we did for most of tonight then there is hope against Palace and Wolves, Ipswich and Leicester and maybe a disinterested on the beach mid table Bournemouth or Fulham to scrape together 6 points. That’s our season right there, can we avoid the utter humiliation of being statistically the worst team ever to play at this level by scraping together SIX more points. Night all and sleep well!!!

Yeah, I know it’s only a game and all that but this season is really, really getting to me. I never EVER thought I’d be relieved to see my team reach 12 points. I will be if we do. Massively.

Indeed. I don’t hate him at all but he just offers nothing at this level and him coming on is like having a man sent off. Contrast his input and influence on the game to Fernandes’ and you see why we’re in the shit we’re in having players like him in the squad.

Thing is playing like we did for the first 80 mins should inspire confidence we’ll at least avoid the humiliation of most of those, but to then lose it like that in the last 10 fucks the confidence levels and makes it all the more likely we won’t avoid any of them. Yet again I’m sick to the pit of my stomach and we actually played well tonight.

I wouldn’t put this all on him but…..you just knew….when that bald bonce entered the fray…..it….was…only….ending…..ONE way.
