Absolutely. A tin pot stadium, small fanbase and little if any global interest. Turf them out, would be the PL's brand-focused attitude.

It was, to be fair. I wonder if Kelvin Davis back in our promotion season would've had the reflexes to save it, though.

If we had a decent keeper we would've won, right?

Fair play. According to some he doesn't have the bollocks to make big decisions like dropping Stephens and THB.

Don't do this to me. Where's the optimism? Armstrong and Archer to start I reckon. Defence has to include Wood and/or Quarshie.

Can't trap a bag of cement. No aerial presence. No tenacity or desire - chance to make a run when Armstrong was breaking in the second half and he barely gets past a jog. I swear he must be breaking some sort of human rights legislation by serving up these bag-of-shite performances. Sack the bloke off.

I'm frustrated that these players turned it on for this fucking meaningless game, but couldn't rock up at St Mary's against the enemy.

Blatant corner

Downs' touch is fucking terrid.

Terrible missed header from Quarshie there

Lully little assist from Quarshie there

I just don't understand why Quarshie hasn't been playing for us.

Excuse me. I'm somewhat ecstatic to tell you that 'defense' is Americanised English. I'll have you know that it is preferable to use 'defence' when speaking the King's English.

It boils down to him not having goalkeeping instincts. Surely your youth should have been spent as a goalie to warrant being an elite professional in the position?

Rangers' supporters group was vociferous and definitive in their call for Martin's sacking. What's our supporter group up to these days? I wonder if a coordinated Saints and Valenciennes protest could be of use?

If the fictional TV show Succession is anything to go by, media tycoons tend to have egotistical, duncey, dud-like bellends either on speed dial or as relatives.

I think it's time.

A really succinct and well substantiated point. A perfect example of our inept transitions and 'attacks' that peter out. We are so easy to defend against. We are also very easy to score against! A sublime combination.

Our defence and central midfield (and strikeforce) hasn't improved since the season we went down with Ralph and Jones and Selles. That season was inept. That defence would've struggled in the Championship. We've recruited and got rid of a lot of shite, but our limp defence, impotent attack and soggy core still remains.

Any chance of protests against SR at St Mary's? Nah, thought not.

Bit fucking simple, isn't it? Just lump it into the box and they'll crumple like a house of cards in a hurricane. 'Get it into the mixer' is our kryptonite? How fucking depressing. I remember when we had dominant, perceptive and reliable centre backs. It wasn't that long ago. What has happened to our club?

This is a fucking terrible thread. Martin took us up via Wembley but fucked us over on the biggest stage. Let's not even contemplate the possibility of who we'd rather have. Partly because it's pointless and farcical, but also because I don't need reminding about how shite we were last year under him.

@S-Clarke Was it you that posited the idea that our abject 12-point season last time round would have a cataclysmic impact on the whole club, one that we'd struggle to recover from? Did I remember correctly that in that post you also mentioned the thought that we may well face a relegation battle in the Championship this year as a consequence of last year's shit show? If so, you're looking pretty fucking prescient right now.

Well, that was shite. Another 90 minutes of my life fucking wasted.
