PS how shit are we as a fan base? relegation battle and the stadiums full of families or a couple of old girls with their bobble hats on. Appreciate the performances are flat but even when we occasionally score, it's a cheer of 'relief' rather than sheer cunty, nutty limbs and aggression.

We are so poor at transitioning, we always allow for the opposition to recover the depth of the ball and reorganise even on dead balls. Selles has got the team selection wrong this evening.

Any other streams, last one went all robotic and nutty.

Short answer based on my assumptions that we’re going down; Michael Carrick Strategically, if I’m Rasmus I’d be exploring the opportunity to have a conversation to ‘sell the role’ with any of Bosz, Tedesco, Kompany or Gallardo. However, all of them would require a number of assurances and a bloody large survival bonus. I really don’t like the links with Gerrard, Nuno and especially Marsch (I think culturally American managers/coaches will struggle in the UK). Intrigued by Bielsa, I reckon it’ll be caranage if he came in.

Please not Jesse Marsch... I beg of you.

What’s the reaction like in SMS for those watching/listening?

Fair enough, but I'm at the points I'd take losing and Jones going over winning and Jones staying. Each to our own.

Respect to them fronting it. However, it's categorically not good enough. It's pretty simple, I'm beyond caring about the result Saturday (ish), I want St Mary's to be so venomous so it's crystal clear we want Nathan Jones out. Jones's performance AND conduct has been nothing short of a disgrace. I can hack going down, just not under him.

Don't forget Eric Black

What do the board actually expect the fan base to do for the Wolves game if they don't sack him? I'd go as far as saying he's hated by number of the fanbase and severely disliked by the majority. it'll be toxic. He's going to get peppered by supporters and St Mary's isn't going to be very pleasant on Saturday, which will magnify if(when) we lose to Wolves. It's public knowledge a number of players dislike him, why run the risk of further damage at Staplewood. Even if they don't feel there's a better option out there right this minute, he's surpassed underperforming with his conduct to the supporters, players and media. The irony is, I got to know a very good hard working man lose his job in the EFL this year and he was totally devastated he lost his job. It made me really reflect on that these are blokes are Husbands, Fathers, Friends and that supporters need to wind their necks in at times. However NJ has made me dismiss that attitude and he deserves to know his conduct AND performance is not acceptable.

I despise the little fucker.

With the greatest of respect, Jones lost us that game the cocky little prick.

Pretty sure they'll be actively top themselves reading through that.

So we assuming Sully is the only deal, neigh chance of us signing big Paul and Sully.... is there?

I’m so lost now, assuming Moussa Djenpo is off to the football manager lad in France? Are we in for all three? Vitinha Dembele Sully (Rennes player) what about Hjulmand? surely we aren’t going for all three/four?

29.. no room for Michael Stensgaard?

We’re all taking a cup win and relegation right?

Get ta fuck. Started walking towards the Itchen hospitality at one point. Heads completely gone since the telling off. Played on that ‘concussion’ tenfold.

Moussa not fancied it since the bollocking. Played on it massively to come off.

I'm gonna (slightly) play devils advocate on this. I can't argue your point about the bid from our perspective and it's value but Liam Delap is rated very highly in football circles. You have to be slightly careful when it comes to gauging a players potential ability when using their early career loans as a marker. Harry Kane, is arguably the best example of this. Liam was (still is) very highly thought of by Manchester City and England. I won't lie, I was really pleased to hear we were in for him (perhaps not for the rumoured value the fee was reported) but nonetheless a player I feel will go on and have a decent Premier League career. If it was say a £10-15 million deal then fair enough but as you rightly highlight, at £25+ there was more 'proven' players worth pursuing. There's a young player on loan at the club I work for now, he's very highly rated by his parent club in the PL and hasn't quite hit it off here. There's always a number of variables to loans not working out and I'd bet my bottom dollar if the lad played 10 games for his parent club right now, he'd have scored more goals than his current football league club - most likely due to the standard and frequency of service better players would provide him (his current club in possession model doesn't perhaps suit his profile). I would've liked to have seen us make a move for Beto if this rumoured £25million is available.

Na, he's shite.

Cba to go through the thread so apologies if already posted, nice little stat that x3 world cup captains are ex Saints players. Highlighted on one of the cartoon graphics on FIFA's instagram account.
