A decade is right. Koeman left the club in 2016 and i feel like we have been in the managerial wilderness for 10 years, up until now. Maybe there were some green shoots with Hasenhüttl during that time and yes we were in the PL, but there was a lot of middling football being played for sure.

yeah, this was the most impressive thing of it all. i certainly hung my head and was fuming after initially feeling elated to get a late 2nd goal going into the locker room at half. I dont know what Tonda said at half, but they didnt let that disappointment beat them in the 2nd half.

yeah, Tonda has the chops, but the stink on him is going to take awhile to wear off in terms of his attractiveness to other clubs. It's really perfect for us. We have accepted the stink (we had no choice really) and we retain what is turning out to be a really really good manager.

looks like he is maintaining his typical work rate with Swansea.. 34 total minutes so far this season.

the Stephens hate is starting to annoy me. He started 30 matches for us last season. Did we not have a pretty good season? Yeah, he has had a couple of bad games to start the season, but the piling on seems unnecessary.

i figure Matsuki or JWP could also play the 10 in a pinch. And let's hope Mubama is really impressing in training. He very well could be.

Fernandes is doing work.. so far on track to make it 3 for 3.

not an outlandish statement if one were to predict that Saints and CP switch leagues next summer. Not just money, but location.

Well we have always been fluffers, but it is a step down from when we were fluffers for just the Top 6 PL teams. we were high class fluffers then, if you will.

It's a good sign when you see players selflessly rooting for their teammate's success! that was awesome - Scienza motioning Fellows over, not wanting to cross the touchline. . oh and signing Peretz, Larin, JWP, and Schlotty for a total of £13mil is crazy good.

this aged well.

Manning - you take the good, you take the bad

that is a mistake you don't make twice!

Bragg has looked really good in limited minutes. Not sure why he hasnt been give more of a chance to step up.
