I honestly don't see Dibling doing any better than Edozie did for us in the Championship last time out. I think he will do "fine" at times and frustrate a lot more than people think, and that he will end up being worth fuck all.

Who do we think Martin is likely to come in for at Saints, if anyone? And will any of our current lot throw their toys out of the pram in an attempt to join him at Leicester? Downes is the obvious candidate given how his head was turned in January.

I think we're moving back to Block 39 from our one season experiment in block 46, so for us there is a decent saving vs staying where we are, plus the extra games, works out as £19 a game for an adult - not bad.

Given that we are nailed on to lose the next two home games we can safely work out what our cost per point ratio was for the incredible 24/25 Premier League season. My season ticket in the Northam cost me £500 for the season. We have amassed an impressive 5 points across all of our home games, giving me a pounds per point score of £100 per point. If pounds per point were included in inflation statistics, Saints would have triggered a recession. I know my ticket was on the cheaper end of the scale, how bad is your £ per point this season?

I know it's easier to call the players fat, lazy, hateful, cunts etc etc. but just to add some semblance of balance to this thread; I didn't see a lack of effort from the Saints team on the pitch today. Until Stewart went off we at least had some balance and threat while we were able to get out and hold the ball up, and the team gave it everything throughout. Today was just another example of the huge gulf in quality from our squad to almost every other squad in the league. Can't wait for this season to end.

Deserved at least the point today, so glad Lez smashed that in late. Away fans - this team does not deserve you.

Tyler Shitling

I understand why people would want to vent at the players on the pitch, the people in the board room, the manager, etc. For me yesterdays "noddy" response from our fans was just them saying "we'll be here no matter what division" - sure we got absolutely bum raped this season, but we all expected it so we'll crack on next season, hopefully with less anal lube required. The people at the top need to answer for the shower we've had to endure this season, but I see no problem with fans standing up and showing their class in the face of a relegation that has been certain from the start. It's not the same as dropping out of the league after an extended period, we came up with an ill-equipped team that hadn't been invested in.

Has Son ever not scored against us when he's played? I'd be surprised if he hasn't. So you can start there, at least one goal to them before we've even started. Hopefully the improved performance on Wednesday gives the team some spirit to chalk up another point on Sunday and get us closer to our incredible target of 12 points for the season 🙏

Glad someone is saying it - I know he's just a kid, but the praise he gets from pundits and commentators just stinks of these people not having any real world evidence of how good and or consistent Tyler really is. It's just soundbites. But hey, if it drives his price up in the summer who are we to complain.

What a cum down.

We could have a half decent team and still lose to a club that spent nearly a billion quid on building their team. We have an absolute shithouse bunch of cunts though so we're getting hammered.

The overwhelming majority of Saints output on the pitch has been utterly depressing since 2017/18, save for some very un-Saints-like blips where the team found a way to win under Ralph (briefly) and Martin (albeit in the Championship). I wouldn't be surprised if someone did the math and they found that Saints fans have seen fewer wins than any other of the 92 league clubs over the last 5 seasons. Apart from the Championship season, all the prem seasons saw us barely surviving or in the case of the last two "attempts" in this division, finishing bottom by miles. It really has been completely terrible. Why I and a stadium full of other people continue to turn up is baffling. Imagine being a kid and being dragged to St Marys week after week over the last 5 or 6 years - I never thought I would think this way, but WHY would you choose to grow up a Saints fan if that is what you had been exposed to? Fucking horrible.

United got away with one there. Shame we didn't take our chances and give ourselves more of a chance to hold onto something. The drop in quality when Dibling, Fernandez and, surprisingly, Aribo went off was clear for all to see. Hopefully the team take heart from the performance.

You used the word competitive in your post and Saints have been anything but for the vast majority of games at St Marys so far this season, so it isn't really fair to judge the "home end" noise levels based on the absolute dish water we've been served up on the pitch. Will hopefully be fun next year if can win some games again...
