Yes we lost, 1-0 I think. It was defo a Sat though.

I remember going to Swindon in league 1 with my nipper who was about 8 at the time. Driving home he had a miserable face on him. I asked him what the issue was and he said “why do you make me support Southampton, they’re rubbish “. I told him he can support his local team or the team I support, but being a glory hunter was unfulfilling. I spent the journey talking about the away days we could go on, how winning something would mean so much more, how following the city your dad came from was something to be proud of and beating the top clubs occasionally would make you happier than winning every week. When we got home he was up for it, still a saint and happier. He told the Snap Dragon about our conversation and said “it runs in the family”, her reply was “what does, being miserable at week ends?”

In 2023 Nathan Jones is a better manager than Nigel Adkins. Jones will manage in championship again, Adkins won’t. He finished, career over, FFS. Why are people banging on about him as if he’s some sort of Wenger type elder statesman.

Hopefully they’ll find someone better, a Jock Nigel, to lead them out of the Union. They’ve been a drag on England for half a century. Fucking sweaties….

Les Reed’s, unless we start winning.

Don’t you get it? He was behind the brilliant decisions against Leeds & Chelsea and also got Janny B sent out on loan. For gods sake don’t you watch the bench during the game? Nobody had ever challenged Ralph before, and forget about the actual game he managed, just pick out the odd good points of the season, and attribute them to him. Get onboard. Ffs

What makes you think that was him and not Ralph?

That’s the key for me, what was his input under Ralph & then under Jones?

Only people in and around the club will be able to judge whether he’s capable of doing a decent job. What was his input under Ralph & then Jonesy? Is he respected by the players, is he their mate or is he capable of upsetting a few. Inside appointments are the one time I’d listen to a couple of the experienced pros, what do they think. Wily & Theo have played for some really good managers, JWP for about 78 different saints mangers. If I was running the club I’d ask them their opinions, they’re the ones that’ll know if he’s got a chance of doing the job. Has he an aura about him, or will the players think he’s the bib and balls man over promoted.

They’ll be so busy looking for haddock they’ll miss the flares.

If they were better, they wouldn’t get so much abuse. Most of them are jobs worths, and behave like star struck teenagers around the best players. If that had been Harry Kane or KDB on Sat he wouldn’t have got a second yellow. Local ones are even worse, basically traffic wardens with a whistle.

What championship experience did Bielsa or Nuno have?

Everton’s back 4 have been a bit of a shambles tonight.

You think Adkins is a better option?

WTF was Pickford doing?

Fuck me, we’ve all got Leeds mates now…

DT’s going the full Brentford on this thread.

Someone close to him.

Knew it was over once whistle went. Confirmed to him verbally shortly afterwards, formally on Sunday Wants to get back in game & rebuild reputation/career. Will use this to drive himself on. Happy to drop down to League 1 or even 2 if championship realistically attainable.

And the Poch shite as well. Ridiculous..

Interesting to see what happens to this guy now Jones has gone. I thought he did ok yesterday, certainly seen a lot worse than him recently, from players who cost a lot more money.

Why would Dyche have come here, even back in Nov? With Everton, West Ham, Leicester, Wolves, Villa, Leeds struggling, he was always going to get back in. We’re probably the least attractive of the lot, apart from Boscombe.

No
