Did you even watch the game? Bazunu is just Angus Gunn mark II. I was happy to give him the benefit of the doubt and see how he got on as the season progressed but enough is enough, he inspires zero confidence. Caballero needs to come in if AM is still injured. Any optimism I had after the miracles of last week had faded by half time today. I know people will go back to the VAR decision but we didn’t deserve anything. No way we make up 25 points in 18 games, we’re fucked. This side is worse than the one that went down in 04/05, and that’s saying something

That performance against City really was a fluke, as we really are dreadful. SR deserve relegation for their ineptitude.

Tough game but with the momentum behind us we should come away from this with a least a point. Hopefully the squad benefit from a bit more rest this week after the effort they put in last, and we see another City like performance.

Absolutely huge result that. Get a striker in this window and we stand a really good chance of getting out of this, incredible that despite how shit we’ve been we’re not cut adrift yet. Can’t believe we’ve finally broke our Goodison hoodoo. Even more enjoyable after the way their fans behaved when they took Koeman from us to see them struggling like they are. Boo fucking hoo. Need to get something against Villa now, hopefully the team feel the weight lifting from their shoulders at St Mary’s now.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss!!!!!!!! Fucking get in!!!!

If we could fucking beat liverpool over two legs we can sure as hell beat Newcastle.

Well played Jonesy, credit where it’s due. Nice scenes at the end, seems the squad really like him.

Fair play lads cracking half. Please Jonesy don’t fuck about and try to protect the lead.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

Boom! Great finish too, fair play. So frustrating that we raise our game for City and not Forest though!!

Wondered if it was just me!!!

7/1 on over 5.5 goals. That’ll take the edge off

Did everyone else get the text from the club letting us know tickets are available? Never known that before, seems pretty desperate. Photos in twitter suggest all the big names are in town so it’ll certainly be an arse whipping tonight, although I fully expect Pep to tell the team to back off once they get to 0-4.

But these are the bestest fans in all the land. They conquered Spurs at the weekend. Surely they wouldn’t only take 200 to an away game. Apparently they’re protesting the competition - what a load of bollocks. Like they did the other year until they reached the final.

Huge credit? Are they taking the piss? Only 200 after taking 1 million fans to Spurs at the weekend?

Saw Darren Anderton outside his parents home whilst I was doing my paper round ahead of the spurs game against us at the Dell in the 1998-99 season. Was star struck as a kid seeing an England international hanging about Oaktree Road, me and my mate I was with ended up asking his dad if he had any autographs we could have. Nowadays i’d probably just call him a skate bastard. In response to Turkish I didn’t realise Aaron Flahavan was a fellow Bitterne Parker, and that his funeral was at St James Church, all kind of passed me by at the time. Didn’t Nicky Banger go to school there too?

Same. Incredible how fast life can pass you by. His free kick at home to Coventry the following Wednesday was even better. 5 time Champions League winner - made in Southampton.

That Monaco kit came 2nd thankfully, the winner was one of our best ever kits I’d say. No surprise considering the fans chose it!! Im a fan of mixing it up too, although this years effort is an abomination. A bit more red like the 99-01 shirt might have saved it a little. If we do return to stripes I just hope we finally go back to a striped back too, as the plain backs look shit.

I thought Vernon was a well known Bolton fan?

About 10’000 left looking at the website. Shows the general feeling around the club at the minute that most people can’t be arsed with a cup game that would be considered a “gold” fixture in the league, especially at discounted price.

I think you’ve mis-read the context of what I was saying, I’m not sticking up for Ralph at all, I’m glad we got rid and it should have happened sooner. I’m sure something happened behind the scenes that caused that collapse in March. What I’m saying is at one point last season this group of players were actually doing ok, before we nose dived off a cliff after the West Hsm cup match. That says to me that the right person is capable of getting a tune out of them, if they are given the funds and freedom to replace the glaring omissions of Romeu and Broja, and a system is implemented that plays to their strengths.

Unfortunately for us the poor appointment by SR has cost us 3 out or 4 games where we should have been looking to earn at least a point, as well as the World Cup break which would have been perfect for a decent manager to work hard with his new squad. Somehow luckily for us despite the awful results of late we’re still not cut adrift yet, and have a forthcoming match against another struggler a week today. Whilst the likelihood of getting out of this looks slim, with the appointment of a proven manager, and 3 weeks of a transfer window left there is still an opportunity to turn this around. This is still largely the same squad which Ralph managed to get up to mid table around March time as well as the quarter finals of the FA cup. I still believe with the right manager and a few more additions we could get out of this. That’s why I’m so angry at SR - this is completely avoidable but I don’t think the ego of those involved will see them admit they were wrong and do the right thing.

I can see you’re on the fence about him 😂😂

That interview with Doswell is brilliant, pretty damning to hear another manager be so savage towards one of their peers.

Not if enough fans stand up and make themselves heard whilst the “brains” behind our club allow it to go to shit. We’re the ones suffering here not them.
