talking, after they have played Stoke tomorrow, so on Wednesday presumably.

Do you wanna tell Dave Merrington that ?

I think the initial stories of unrest and senior players wanting him gone in the summer may well have come from him in all honesty. There’s still something strange about the way Redmond went from being picked no matter what to unused sub at best in a few weeks.

I had to laugh listening to Solent coming home they started talking about JWP going to the World Cup. Even Tessem said not on current form. It’s not even a question, he was awful again today and how he escapes being subbed I’ll never know.

Absolutely bloody disgraceful. I don’t think I’ve ever read about a manager saying something like this! On the flip side given we’ve lost 7 of the first 13 we will only lose 8 of the last 25, worst case scenario! Hang on to your hats, we are in for a hell of a ride after the World Cup ! 🤣

Which players are you referring to?

Bottom 3 with a 6 week break, he’ll have plenty of time to look at that table and let the reality sink in.

I don’t understand why Maitland-Niles didn’t come back in after not being available for the Arsenal game. Not the first time one of Prof Smart Arse’s decisions hasn’t made sense to me tbf.

Phoning in another performance is he?

Words to the effect of “their 3 best players are out injured, what do you expect Saints fans! “ would be my guess

I hope that wasn’t our fans making that bloody row during the minutes silence

I'd have brought on Bradley (I'll never miss a one on one with the keeper again) Wright-Phillips by then so its irrelevant. 😆 NB - for those too young or cant even remember him he DID miss his next one on one, and every other one after it whilst at Southampton.

While I didn’t agree with Theo coming on I’ve seen very little in Mara to suggest your statement is true tbh, he’s just not ready.

Fair play, didn’t see that coming at all. Well done lads

Aribo may have got away with phoning in performances up in Scotland for Rangers but it doesn’t work in this league. Apart from the clever play at the end of the half he’s been strolling around looking like he hasn’t got a care in the world !

I’m sure there is a perfectly good reason why the manager has decided to bench the only forward we have who is capable of holding the ball up.

He really didn’t, not with Southgate in charge.

I suppose Blackmore is almost orgasmic on Solent putting those pesky arrogant Saints fans in their place with his Ralph is King drivel

Well it wasn’t daylight robbery for a start. Bournemouth might argue they deserved a point but nothing more. We defended well I thought.

The team that should have been 3-0 up was West Ham

Unfortunately I feel exactly the same, I’m just clinging to the hope that Bournemouth bottle it as per.

That’s because he is not a Premier League defender and the fact we played him so much and that some fans STILL try to make a case for him tells you all you need to know about how shite we have been at the back.

Scott Parker 😱 🤣 Who’s next to be linked? Tony Adams?

Bournemouth will psych themselves out like they usually do when they play us at home. 2-1 to Saints. Thats my optimistic, please God I have to live in this town mentality. In realistic terms I’m dreading it unless one of our “strikers” suddenly remembers what that thing with a net each end of the pitch is for.

No he didnt, he used Strachan as an example of a manager who could get the team fit and motivated, he didnt suggest him as Ralph's replacement. He talked a lot of crap after the game yesterday but that's one thing you've mis-heard or understood.
