Are there even any genuine ITK’ers left on this site anymore? Back to the sponsor, I’m glad I held off buying that 3rd shirt now it looks like we’ll either have a less awful sponsor on it, or better still no sponsor at all.

Koeman the obvious appointment surely?

.

Getting it in early.... Skates at home please!!

Really? A distinct improvement? i thought that bar a couple of individual errors Boruc was absolutely class for us, and I’m gutted Ronald didn’t want him around the club anymore

Yawn, another yo yo club to replace Norwich. Bring that brand of football into the Prem next season and Parker will be the first manager out the door. That’s one relegation spot taken care of at least...

You know what I meant MLG, Nigel has struggled career wise since he left us.

I feel that way about Bournemouth due to the players still on their payroll, the players they’re going to lose, the size of the club and the infrastructure. I’d imagine his stock has fallen now he has a premier league relegation on his CV. Be interesting to see if he is able to cut it at an already established Premier League club or if his thing is taking a lesser club on a rebuild through the leagues. He could end up another Nigel, fortunate to be the right man at the right club at the right time, but unable to really make it click elsewhere.

Been trying to find odds of Bournemouth dropping again next season but can’t see any markets open just yet. Be interesting just how far he’s willing to travel for his next job, it’s common knowledge his family getting home sick bough him back to the south coast so as people have said I can’t see him travelling too far. Could always ask if he fancies a break from management and wants to be Ralph’s number 2.

Swansea trying to get promoted in what looks like the kit we sent them down in! Looks like Brentford have found their bottle again after the last few games, Fulham v Brentford final would suit me, both decent away trips

No space for Nile Ranger? Maybe on the bench...

Those guys had talent compared to Hoedt though that’s the difference. Tommy Forecast was a bit of a twat too tbf. Maybe we could come up with a twat XI of ex-saints.

True - but then we’re talking about a group of people that can afford to fly privately to the Caribbean or somewhere equally exotic where there are no quarantine rules...

Kit looked good today - funny how times change though, couldn’t help but notice the team weren’t wearing the “professional” versions of the kit and they looked a bit baggy. Not so long ago that was the norm for players, you wore the same kit the fans do.

Brilliant, that’s up there with that tweet from that guy who reckoned Bournemouth were the next level up from Saints and we weren’t even a threat to them.

Great end to the season - so close to the top half of the table which I never thought was remotely possible back in October walking away from that Leicester game in the pouring rain. Little rest for the players, keep the fitness up and then go again with a few new, and hopefully decent, faces. Let’s see what we can achieve next season.

Yes Che!! that confidence in front of goal really starting to shine at last

In some ways I’d rather we finished the season with a pissed off Ralph, to encourage him and the powers that be to get some decent reinforcements in rather than the recent windows of late where they think we’re doing alright and don’t need to bring anyone in.

Our defence really is turd.

Forgotten how bad it is watching football in SD. First world problems I know!!

Intrigued to see if the players will have a holiday, whether there will be any kind of preseason or whether we just transition into next season with a friendly or two

Shows in October and November that I have tickets for are starting to get postponed now as it’s looking like full stadia and arenas are some way off - going to be very surprised if I see the inside of St Mary’s again this year. Can only assume that if there are limited capacities and ticket ballots that it will have to be home fans only and that percentages allowed in will be the same regardless of team/stadia?

I reckon they’ll get rid tbf - reckon Bournemouth would be silly enough?

What a mental night in the Championship!! Wigan were looking safe even with the point deduction but it’s caught up with them on tonight’s results!! Brentford with the biggest bottle job since Spurs finished 3rd in a two horse race and that year Gerrard slipped. Forest must be gutted too - was hoping they’d be up through the play offs, proper football club like Leeds.

Wasn’t aware of any of this - what a ridiculous thing to do, did they think it would go unnoticed? Wigan have been in fantastic form since their point deduction was announced, seems that even if it’s applied this season it will make little difference and they will essentially escape any real punishment.
