Not far away from what? Christmas? Getting mathematically relegated in record time? Him being handed his P45?

If, and lets face it, its a huge if, but if it did happen I wouild think an old experienced hand could come in, not to do anything bar watch matches and training sessions even just as an eye and ear for Lallana to bounce ideas off and listen to. Someone like Roy Hodgson would be ideal. Given his years in the game and contacts I wouldnt think getting a coaching team together wouldnt be too difficult for him. All conjecture of course and only risen out of his name being suggested in this thread. Tbh the rest of this season can be viewed as a trial for taking over properly in the summer.

Yeah, Fergie did it all the time, Klopp too, they all do. If you roll over for the big boys you get a pat on the head and a "well done you". Woe betide anyone who gets a point or a win against them ! The biggest issue with Martin is his arrogance has prevented him sticking by the old, well worn saying that when promoted you have to earn your right to play your way in the league. He has failed to do that big time and will continue to do it.

I know them, i'm gonna check to see if you are lying 🤪

Probably not. Its ironic that when his fantastic way of playing costs us goals you don’t hear a peep out of him, except to say how brave they are on the ball.

HOW MUCH F’KIN LONGER DO WE HAVE TO SUFFER THIS TWAT ??? Another game without a single shot on target. It’s ridiculous

My wife has just asked why the owners continue to put up with this………I can’t answer 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ive just read Alfie House's twitter (sorry X) feed and i wish I hadnt cos theres bullshit and then there's fkin Russell Martin bullshit ! he makes my blood boil, and to save you any wasting of your time, he's not changing, things are good and he's enjoying it !!!! COCK

Nope, we are here to be brave on the ball, give a goal or two away and lose every game. Much better than trying to grind out a win ! Twat, just eff off Martin !

I see he's deleted his Social Media. Perhaps he should have kept it going until after he had issued an apology to fans for letting the team/club down esp given his captaincy role. Given hes such an amazing human being (RM's word, certainly not mine) I would have thought coming out and taking responsibility would have been the first thing he'd done. Not so amazing then Jack ?

"It's not the gaffer telling us, 'If you have a chance to run forward, turn back and play'. That's not the message. It's important people know that." In that case why the hell do you all keep doing it then? Anybody thought of asking these guys ffs?

oh come on, I think Villa will score 😂

I wish I'd written this - nailed it sir !

Biggest issue for me is that he is so arrogant he treats everyone else like they are stupid. Every pundit I have heard this season points out the issues but no, they are wrong, RM is right. Then there are the supporters, the fans who travel home and away to watch this Rusbball shite. Its an insult to the intelligence, some of the crap he comes out with are so far removed from what every paying customer can see that its beyond a joke. Take last night with his refusal to call out Stephens, instead preferring to get all misty eyed and have an erection over the bloke while telling us "Jack's been amazing for us" !!! Now if you were to ask 30,000 Saints fans who turn up at St Mary's week in week out - yes or no, has Jack Stephens been amazing for us - what percentage would say yes? How the hell local journos like Alfie House and Adam Blackmore can stand there and listen to his repeated drivel whilst keeping a straight face is quite frankly full credit to them !

The worst part is actually the manager coming out, defending him and saying he's been "amazing for us" ! Thats just blatant bullshit !

It’s the stupidity of tonight that really annoys me. He knows there are cameras everywhere, watching everything yet he thinks giving the defender a little tug of the hair is ok and nobody will notice? Unbelievable. Hopefully he got a big hug off Russ and all is forgiven so their bromance can continue……….hopefully at another club !!!

Yes that’s unbelievable, he should be calling out Stephens for letting down what was a patchwork team that started off quite well - at least until Chelsea adapted to the 7 changes they made. To try and stick up for him and paper over the petulance of that sending off is embarrassing

That’ll do for starters, thanks

How many games does our brave and wonderful human being of a captain miss with this red? Two or three? I mean I’d take the next 24 but guess that won’t happen

Lighthouse doesn’t !!

Can’t wait to hear RM defend that!!

You’ve answered your own question

Jackson’s on the bench

Youth team…..isn’t he the lad we signed from Ireland ?

Sugawara on the bench but Wood playing……ok….. At least it shows how fkin bad Kamaldeen is if he can’t get into that side !
