Saint Fan CaM

Moi is such a poor excuse - get the kid off.

We’re playing too deep - just inviting a goal or a pen shout.

Lyanco on - Alcarez off?!?! Really??? We deserve to go down.

Oh and I hope Selles is having a strong word in the Refs ear at half-time about being aware of the shithousery tackles Arsenal are putting in without yellows.

AA is a liability - doing nothing. We need an outlet…may as well be Tall Paul. Moi is doing not much more - Diallo would be better.

Terrible foul on Alcarez and nothing given even though the Ref had full sight. What a stitch up this game is becoming. Saints too good so we’ll send someone off. Wait for it.

Refs gone soft with the yellows now - yet giving us nothing. Nonce!

Oh oh - DCC … the obvious red card walking.

Yep, and how many Saints players are pushing for a card? None!

Because commentators are not bookies? It’s not ducking rocket science!

We’re going to end up with eight men here!

Nothing to do with me - a little bit of unbiased commentary would not go amiss.

Don’t you just hate the commentators? Saints 2-1 up yet it’s Arsenal that are now favourites to win! Wankers.

Oh well. Another defensive shit show. It’s the hope…

Fuck me - we’re looking like league winners!!!

JWP passes backwards and we end up losing the ball after 25 tip taps. Guys a liability.

WTF?!?!

With players holding the ace cards contractually, I wonder how easy it’s going to be to move players on. Walcott and Ely-no-usey will go because we don’t need to renew (although I suspect Walcott will be retained in some capacity). Beyond that, releasing the likes of Orsic and Oneacho will be unlikely as that will cost money unless there was a clause RE relegation (but I doubt that). We’ll see valued players sold such as Salisu, ABK, Lavia, KWP, Perraud, Che, Alcarez. Unfortunately JWP will likely stay. This will leave us with a bloated squad of poor quality and unsuitable for the Championship, let alone a push for a return to the Prem. We are in such a mess I can see another dismal season upcoming and even another relegation battle. Massive summer ahead, but a Board incapable of finding a way out. Maybe Semmens will be let go with Ankerson left to steer the ship with the new Director of Football?

Agree with this, except JWP. He, along with a few others can go and I think the team and results will improve because of it. Don’t get me wrong, a change of coaching/managerial setup is essential too, because we need someone in who can galvanise the players into turning around the losing mentality the squad has acquired. The summer must surely be the biggest churn of players we’ve seen for years.

Oh boy this is going to be painful (again). 4-0 Arsenal.

Cannot disagree with any of that, but the bit that rings true most is JWP. Midfield General or playmaker extraordinaire are not descriptions that spring to mind. What is he and what is his roll? Oh that’s it, he’s the Worlds best free kick taker, (but misses vital penalties). Luxury player and one we can’t afford in the Championship, so let’s hope we get good money.

Who should shoulder most of the blame? The Board for not supporting Ralph with an Ings replacement (or two)? The Board for making a monumentally poor decision in hiring Jones? The Board for bringing in players no better than the dross we’d already accumulated? The Board for insisting on the club maintaining a style of play that is not suited to the quality level in the squad? Selles for following some kind of blueprint that clearly is not working? The players for not being skilled enough to follow the Managers instructions (or are they just not fit or skilled enough - they’re maxed out)? Answer is it’s all those things and why it’s irretrievable now. It’s why we’re on another downwards spiral. L1 derby’s anyone?

Indeed and it could be argued that Selles should shoulder a good proportion of blame for the relegation - he’s hardly found a solution to our demise with a significant amount of money spent to support him.

Another opportunity to it it on our huge strikers head and guess what…? We didn’t.

78 minutes and Selles brings on three players he should have started. Fucking pointless you idiot.
