I do like Eddie Howe, and if the situation was different ie: trying to get promoted I’d happily welcome him on board, however his Bournemouth side was assembled at great cost, with some very expensive signings and players on ridiculous wages and they still went down. He won’t get that sort of financial backing here. Didnt they get in trouble for breaching FFP under him too?

Didn’t affect us in League 1 and Championship when it was the norm to have a game every few days. We had the players there for a strong line up yesterday, the fault lies with the set up and mentality. Besides,other teams don’t seem to suffer like we do, Leeds had 6 players out yesterday and still beat us comfortably

Pretty much this. i don’t think it matters what team Ralph put out tonight, the dynamic is all wrong and there’s clearly something wrong with our mentality. Pre match we were told that Leeds had 6 players out injured including Phillips who was a big loss for them - made no difference whatsoever they completely dominated that second half. No excuses from them just a winning mindset.

I’d turned off by the time they scored their third but I’ve just seen the replay of him duck out the way of the free kick - absolutely fucking embarrassing to be honest. Sunday league or not I stood in many a wall facing a free kick and you’d tense yourself up and expect to take one for the team. Totally indicative of the poor mentality of our squad and captain. We need a leader out on the pitch, question his ability all we want but at least Stephens shows some bollocks and leadership. Not sure what JWP brings to the party other than his dead ball ability.

Yep. Going to look even worse after we lose to Everton.

Angry typing rarely works out well.

Bye Ralph. Fucking shit

Isn’t Andy Carroll on one at Newcastle?

I’d offer Theo a pay as you play contract at our average wage, all he can do is say no. Other than that it’ll be a drop to the Championship as I can’t see any Prem club coming in for him. We’re a better side with him in the starting XI than Redmond as the points show. I expect Ings to go, and wouldn’t be surprised if Vestergaard was poached too. Hopefully the money from those two could fund some decent replacements. Can’t see Kane wanting to put up with another season of mediocrity, he’ll become another Shearer otherwise, so can easily see Ings going there as his replacement.

Analysing the shit out of it on whatever stream I’m watching, how they give that as a penalty but not the foul by Maguire at 5he other end is farcical. I was all for VAR and believe in the technology, but I’m in the ‘its ruining the game’ camp. If they’re not going to get some ex pros into Stockley park, or even have a team of 3 watching each game so there’s always a deciding vote it needs to be scrapped.

I’d have called them mad if someone told me West Ham would finish so far ahead of us this season with Moyes still at the helm. That League 1 standard at best Michail Antonio is such an important player for them. The table is nuts, Liverpool could out the European places by next Monday depending on results. Mental.

Whilst there are some genuine metabolism issues that cause weight gain your post is bang on. I lost over 3 stone in 2020 by just changing my diet. I cut my portion size down and tried to stick to a rough calorie goal each day. Didn’t have to stop eating treats - if I wanted chocolate I’d eat a freddo or couple of squares of dairy milk, not a whole bar. Wanted a biscuit, I’d have one or two, not a whole pack. Fill yourself up with things like fruit and vegetables and you never really get hungry. I would have one cheat day a month so I’d have something to look forward to and not go crazy! Quite enjoy the look on people’s faces when they ask what diet I’d been on and I explained it’s called the not being a greedy cunt diet. It’s a complete waste of time implementing sugar taxes, or banning multi buy offers on unhealthy food when the government should just come out and say eat less you greedy fat twats.

CHDAJFU? 🤔🤔🤔

That’s right - they’ve changed the rules on yellows but Reds are across all competitions so Alex could feature at the weekend.

Can’t fucking stand West Ham but fair play to Moyes that’s some turn around he’s managed in a year.

Not worried about this season, Just disappointed that there seemed a genuine chance of a top 7 finish, and possibly a push for Europe. Making up the numbers will prove a bridge too far us eventually though, perhaps next season once we say goodbye to the likes of Ings and Vestergaard barring some proper investment into the club.

What’s our slogan this year? Defying the odds since 1885 🤣🤣

I guess the normal reaction to all of this would be to say poor Mike Dean, death threats are awful shouldn’t happen to anyone blah blah blah however the man is an arrogant little cock weasel, who has shown in the overturning of the last two red cards is no longer up to the task of being a referee when he even has the luxury of pitch side video replays but still makes the wrong decision. Fuck him, hopefully off the back of these threats (if they’re even real) he decides being a ref is no longer worth the aggro, and he retires doing the footballing world a favour.

Imagine qualifying for Europe but not being able to go to any of the away games due to Covid. That would be the typical luck of a Saints fan.

Really surprised Salisu isn’t featuring today - would he have even come in yesterday if say we’d lost Vest and Bednarek to injury?

Hard to say post-covid, but normally I’d say an English player, at his age, with that length of contract remaining? Definitely over £40 million

Pathetic. If it had been us that went down to 10, and then 9 we’d have been well and truly buttfucked. No fight and poor tactics from Ralph, he’s coaching this shower of shit this ones on him. As for Macca in goal, well, I wanted Fraser to start in the pre match build up, AM has all the presence of a fucking snowman. im honestly more embarrassed than Tuesday night. A make shift Newcastle team ultimately down to 9 men and that’s how we perform. Shambles.

If only we’d shown this much fight with 10 and then 9 men

Embarrassing. Turning off, fuck this shit

For fuck sake saints! Sort it out you useless bunch of pricks seriously!!
