What is the SpazWeb name for the new manager going to be when he loses 9 of the next 10? Lego was absolutely hilarious for Martin so we have to continue our rich tradition of incredible banter. I'll kick things off with Durex. Great defensively but shit at putting it in the back of the net.

Our home support is full of the kind of people I am describing in my posts. If you have managed to avoid being stuck near the sort of blokes that constantly moan, make shit jokes and whose banter goes down like a fart in an elevator every single week then my god, I want to sit where you sit. I moved this season from 39 to 46 after 11 seasons in the same seat and I find myself surrounded with Itchen North rejects who all think its 1992 and OK to shout some absolutely outrageous horseshit. That is where my disdain for Saints fans comes from, and it's not every single one of them, most are decent, I may have just been chronically unlucky to be stuck near some utter bellends year after year. Cue the "how do you think they feel being stuck near you" posts

The recruitment and planning for this season has been a cluster fuck from top to bottom - we signed two players from a shit Sheffield United team FFS - I am in total agreement with you that it's not been good enough at all levels. I am just 100% certain that whoever comes in will get about 10 inches of rope to hang themselves with so it is all utterly pointless from the PoV of "getting the fans onside" - Martin needed to go, the situation was untenable - the next guy won't get the time he needs or the backing of the fans. Maybe you, or some other "non-simpletons" will stick with him with understanding, but the bulk of match going rageaholics won't give him the time of day. Football is a cesspit of anger, demand for instant results and grown men acting like toddlers.

Our bunch of entitled, chip on the shoulder, knuckle dragging retards won't accept the inevitable relegation and succession of losses that come with it. Saints were promoted before they were even close to being able to compete in the premier league and our squad reflects that fact, it's absolutely miles away from being able to compete, say what you want about tactics - this turd will not be polished. Football fans want to blame an individual, the next manager is on a hiding to nothing.

We're relegated regardless mate. People need to get that through their heads - there is no way this team stays up regardless of who comes in. Change the manager and half the team throw a fit because they are "Martin's players". Most importantly there is no where near enough quality make up the gap we've already made for ourselves. Yeah not playing suicide football in our own box might give us more of a chance of picking up points between now and the end of the season, but there is no way this team stays up from here - zero chance. If you are pinning your hopes on changing the manager to stay up, you are only setting yourself to hate the next bloke that comes in (which with our negative IQ fanbase is guaranteed to happen anyway).

Imagine only realising now that supporting Saints is utter shit. Has been ever thus!

VAR can eat my ass. So bored of it.

Glad to see the moaner boners have got something to crow about again this week It's a 1-1 game if not for typically bullshit, spawny, cunty decisions going against us at Molineux. Agree with the consensus that taking that out of the picture, we must don't create enough for the possession we have (as has been the story for ages). Change the manager if you want, but if you think that will suddenly get the mercurial genius of Cam Archer and Tall Paul scoring the goals to win us games, well.. prepare to go into doom monger jizz in your pants overdrive

VAR is a disgrace. You have the chance to at least be consistent in re-referring the game but don't. Utterly scandalous.

Wolves are shit. They are always shit when we play them yet they find a way to an unlikely victory. Saints playing well for me, if this carries on we won't lose.

Look at the match thread mate. So many of the familiar "hope we lose" "Martin is a cunt" gang don't go to games. They are on here, probably all old men that live with their thai brides in far flung parts of Yorkshire and New Zealand too busy wanking over the possibility of a loss and some doom and gloom to actually go to a game, know what it means and feel the buzz. Fuck them all.

I've seen Saints lose, in person, at Rochdale, Carlisle and Tranmere. I've seen us lose 9-0. I've seen us relegated to league one with a whimper. Yeah we're pretty shit at Premier League level at the moment, but we've been in most of the games and should have taken more points. To say this is "the worst we've ever been" is sensationalist bullshit.

This article would suggest that I am right (or at least on average, changing doesn't improve fortunes) And there are more studies into this besides, just google it. Yeah there will be outliers, but for every Unai Emery there will be several more Nathan Jones, or managers that come in and achieve precisely fuck all, continuing the same poor form that has become endemic due to the quality of the playing staff or culture of the club at the time.

At this point I just want Saints to make a change so you can all see that, while Martin and his style has more than it's fair share of glaring issues, our playing squad is nowhere near the level required to survive in this Premier League. The need to see someone sacked is pathetic. I am not a "Martin sympathiser", I am just sick of the pattern of firing managers, paying them millions so they can sit on their arses for doing nothing and hobbling the clubs finances in the process to achieve absolutely fuck all other than appeasing some fans need to see someone fired. We will change manager and nothing will change. There will be no bounce. The players will be the same players. People on here and everywhere else will jump down the new manager's throat as soon as kicking it long isn't seen to be working and we lose a few games. Rinse and repeat. Forever.

You've hit the nail on the head, just like ABK has been caught hitting Russell's bird round the back of the Staplewood bins. Word on the street is that Pinder has never seen a cock like it, never had one up her like it either, there is no going back to Martin's slimdick after what she's experienced. "I just can't go back to Russ and his never ending foreplay" is a direct quote from both Lucy after getting in the shitter from ABK and a tired Saints fan after watching us at the weekend.

Just forced myself to watch the extended highlights back after not wanting to think about the game since leaving the stadium at the full time whistle on Saturday. The referee is clearly a cunt, as is the VAR official. The inconsistency there is absolutely galling (for the shirt pulls on Vardy / Tall Paul). Fuck off. Walking away from the ground I felt that Leicester edged it overall and a win was fair enough - I was wrong. We bossed it for the first hour and could have scored a couple more. First goal goes against us and we wilt. Mentally weak. I don't wish ill on many people but if Vardy is caught in a car crash next week or falls off a balcony, I'll be opening the champagne.

This is complete nonsense. Just picked out a random game from one of the seasons Ralph guided us to consecutive 15th place finishes and the following players WALK into our current side; Adams, Ings, Walcott, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Stu Armstrong, Bertrand We're still playing Janny B and KWP - along with Jack Stephens - so three out of the four defenders that have been shite and or got us relegated last time around. Ralph had a much more experienced, stronger group of players to work with. The idea that Martin is not getting enough from this group of players is fucking fantasy land.

He must have meant hotter by temperature. Maybe he likes nobbing his kettle or something.

I only voted keep him as I can't see past the quality of our squad as not being good enough regardless of who we get in. I have always seen this season as a stepping stone to where we will be in a couple of seasons time; relegated this season, build back stronger next season and have a proper crack at the Premier League then after Martin has had a few more seasons under his belt to learn some humility and flexibility. Sacking him now gets us what? A complete change of style with a group of players not suited to that either. At least if we stick this out we'll be ready to go again in the Championship with a style that has (mostly) worked for us before in that league. I don't see any of this happening of course, ultimately managers don't survive losing every week and we will end up with another manager and our impatient fanbase will just jump on the next poor soul who dares to take up the challenge as soon as lose a couple of games with the exact same squad Martin had to use. I can't believe this is the cylce people want to see repeating itself.

I dunno what's worse the performance or the fact that this site now displays an add every three posts.

Enjoyed everything about today until the screamer at the end. Thought we were well worth the win given how controlled we were in the second half. Absolute gut punch to concede to that rat cunt Morsey at the death. Northam was decent today. Promise. Reckon we can beat ballmouth next week.

Nail on head. It's been two games, neither of which have exactly been successful on the pitch - people writing it off as a failed experiment need to give it a bit more of a chance me thinks. I heard pockets of people trying to get new songs going over in the old-Northam but from where I am (Block 46) it just seems to be sad old gits who only want to complain that they have been moved from their beloved Blocks 1 and 2.

Agreed with this. Yeah the games have been frustrating so far with the mistakes, but with the points total we'll need to stay up a slow start is not the end of the world. Martin should have enough credit in the bank for what he delivered last season to be given the benefit of the doubt here, I trust him to make the adjustments needed to give us a better chance in games. The gap between championship and premier league is widening. If we look better but ultimately don't quite do enough I won't be surprised, in fact it's what I expect to happen despite all the signings in the summer. This won't be enough for the fans obviously as most people lose all perspective and patience when it comes to football.

Took about 5 minutes for the people round me to start moaning about the Northam being a "shit hole" and singing that they want their Itchen back. Great job giving it a chance guys, really, amazing job.

I hope we beat them next time. Their fans have gone up 10 notches on the odious, insufferable mong scale since their sports washing takeover - they were always an entitled "we are massive" bunch of self important twats, but at least they had some humility for the most part.
