Originally he was set to announce the TAA replacement tonight, talk about dragging it out. I do wonder if there will be more than just one change to the squad given the injury assessment comment.

Yes he’s been impressive. I doubt it will make a blind bit of difference however.

That was such a strange move, he was being courted by Man Utd at one point with the Cherry pips turning down big money…. then this happens to him, a six month contract and then released. No chance of Saints going for him so doesn’t matter if he’s good, bad or indifferent.

Totally agree, his team selection was bizarre to say the least. Sometimes you can be just a bit too clever and I think Pep suffers from that at times.

It might not be a strange business model but the timing is absolutely crazy and the fact they don’t give a shit about the supporters who have sat there for 20 years in many cases makes it a very poor PR exercise from the club. On the back of the second half of the season’s performances it’s also arrogance or denial, I’m not sure which.

I wonder if that fantastic black kit with the red and white single stripe down the centre that was pictured a while ago is the genuine away or third kit ?

To be fair even if he thinks it he cant come out and say this Cole-Johnson bloke is a right tool and nobody thinks this is a good idea except him can he ?

the womens team were represented if thats who you are referring to 😏

why did you start supporting a team that plays in "deckchairs" if you feel like that ? Stripes have been Saints home kit for over 100 years now ffs

Love that, knocks spots of any of those UA bra top travesties

I reckon that’s a pretty accurate summing up of the situation.

Rules out Tottenham then 😉

Yeah you can’t really hammer the club for this one, they are totally in the hands of the government and given the absolute balls up they have just made with the Indian variant affected areas literally anything could happen and the club just have to deal with it.

The ironic thing is had the tournament taken place last year he would have been a definite and probably would have got a decent amount of game time. If this tells him anything, and I mean with the World Cup coming up, he needs to be somewhere where he starts every match that he's fit for and the only place I think that will happen is where he is now.

I wonder if they will block off that part of the concourse so the corporates don’t have to mingle with the great unwashed ?

I’ve always supported Ralph but I must admit the past few months have given me reason to wonder why - Jankewitz - to not give the kid another chance after the Man Utd debacle is inexcusable. What message does that send out. I don’t care if the boy is leaving in the summer or not, he should have been given a chance to show what he can do. Subs - the timing is mostly ridiculous, you can almost set your watch by them. The effectiveness is bar one or two occasions is to weaken the team further. They are the same changes time after time. Some players must have splinters on the arses as they’ve been sat there so long without coming on. The Rotating Goalkeepers - this is just crazy. A piss poor defence like ours needs some stability behind it. Two games each then change? What the hell? Even that didn’t last when yesterday McCarthy gets a third game in a row despite being less than average against Leeds midweek. Blind Spots - this mainly relates to certain players, we all know who. Some have licence to be as bloody awful as is humanly possible but still get picked the following game, even in positions where there is competition. Why has Djenepo hardly played since his man of the match performance at home to Chelsea? Oh yeah, sorry, Redmond and his vast array of eye catching skills. Same Old Same Old - every week we set up the same, we do the same things badly and get punished for them yet the following match off we go again. For the love of God if it ain’t working try something different !!! I know it’s a tough job, I know bringing in the players he wants is almost impossible etcetc but at the same time you have to take some measure of responsibility and help yourself. I never feel Ralph does that.

He’s got that right.

Christ if we could get north of 50 million for JWP I would snap the mugs hand off.

Beyond belief isn’t it?

I’ve said it before but JWP isn’t half the player he is when Romeu is alongside him.

Did Redmond blame anyone else for his fuck up giving then the second goal?

No Forster either……ffs

I fuckin give up with trying to work out why he continues to pick him and it looks once again like he’s gonna partner Ings up front. No wonder Danny wants to go 🤣

A one season's grace at the same price would have been a nice little acknowledgment of loyal support but sod that when there's money to be made eh ? The padded seats in the first few rows are gonna get bloody wet by the way 😂

Woodgate’ s decision to take Brooks off after the sending off went a long, long way to Bournemouth losing that. They offered nothing going forward once he went off. Should of taken off that bloody great lump Solanke.
