Just out of interest what specific elements of that crap did you enjoy, bar the final score?

Against Stoke’s reserves yeah, whatever floats your boat I suppose

Nailed on

Lively yeah I guess, but he’s not Premier League standard. Next season I’m sure he’ll score about 15 goals and be a star in the Championship for us.

"Jason? It's Russ, hiya mate, beautiful moment getting rid of Ten Hag, he's not been brave enough. I'm sending you my application form, you know me Jase, we had some truly beautiful times together, well before Lucy came along anyway. Just think what I can do with better players mate, I could make you look a genius for appointing me" !!

yeah, so they cant find anyone, as I said.

I think its literally because they cant find anyone else who would be good enough and fit their criteria.

Its November in a few days, I've been waiting since mid August to "have some fun and be all right" so when does it start ? All the platitudes from Pep and RM probably creaming himself at the "praise" will mean absolutely jack shit if we do not beat Everton and then Wolves. There wont be any hiding place if Everton roll us over next week.

So in other words do you think he's good enough to keep us as a yo-yo club ? He can get us out of The Championship but not keep us in the Prem?

Gotta be brave I guess to make up for his lack of ability

Or saved him for next week if we are 4 or 5 down after the hour.

So he doesn’t bring Lallana on to try and see us through against Leicester but starts him away to Man City? I give up 🤷🏻‍♂️

He’s sticking with Manning isn’t he? Or doubling up with the ever reliable Manning/Stephens combo. Perhaps the idea is for Haaland to be laughing so hard he misses chance after chance that we present him on a plate.

Surely, beyond the familiar names in England, there must be some up and coming over-seas Coach who plays the style of football they want, i mean this prick didnt invent it.....altho he can lay claim to the pointless centre half to centre half to centre half to centre half passing in the most dangerous area of the pitch if he wants..... Havent the club got the tools, manpower and time to analyse these things and find someone ffs? They found Ralph and most of us had never heard of him !

I did think that as well tbf.

I wouldn't be at all surprised either tbh.

She was very good actually.

Who was the ref who sent off Danny Wallace at Newcastle in a case of mistaken identity when the real cuprit was Jimmy Case ?

Thats strange you should say that cos as Durkin was our "local" ref and was the one who went into see the players at the start of each season to explain rule changes etc I always thought he over-compensated by being a little bit harsh on Southampton.

Yeah to be fair to Dean, i mean he is a cock, but he had little choice with that. The fact the kid never played for the club again and was sold pretty soon after tells you all you need to know about him ! It wasnt quite in the Oscar Gobern v Bournemouth class mind you !

Yes thankyou 😒

Peter Walton at home to Leeds in 2010 (didnt realise it was quite that long ago) still ranks as my all time worst ref performance I have ever seen. I have never seen anything more biased, more incompetent, more corrupt, ever !!

They may well believe in it, and it may well make sense, BUT the plan doesnt hinge on Russell fkin Martin !

This might actually prove to be his undoing. Players talk, they will have sussed out long ago who the favourites are, they will hear what he says when he casually throws someone under the bus but then denies he would ever do that cos he protects his players virtually in the same breath. The cracks are getting bigger and bigger, that verbal attack on Alfie House the other week when he asked a simple question was a bloody disgrace, if he'd looked up and asked him "why cant any of your teams actually defend" then fair enough, but he didnt. Team selections are more and more the signs of a man flapping his arms around trying not to drown. How the hell Sulemana comes in and gets on the pitch defies bellief. He was shite ion the Championship, and when was the last time he played ffs? Same with Manning, now Smallbone, Aribo was dropped like a stone and now he's back in the groovy gang. Taylor deserved his chance at the expense of KWP a month ago, now he cant get on as a left back ahead of Ryan Frazer !!!!! And then next week, who's first name back on the team sheet? Oh yeah, Capt Jack ! Its all a complete shitshow and he's orchestrating it.

He has to say "we will carry on with the process" because he has nothing else, this is it, he's a one trick pony.
