Saints 0-2 Palace - Match Thread

We’ve been relegated for many weeks if not months anyway. Let this lot take a 7-0 humping at Arsenal next week as they don’t care anyway. Then give a few of the u18s a run with JWP, KWP, Edozie, Alcaraz, Perraud and Sulieman. Treat it as a pre pre-season. JWP and KWP will be off in the summer but are good pros and will help the youngsters. Bednarek and Lyanco we will have to use. Need to banish the rest and force some moves. ABK a latter day Darren Powell, made of glass, one that can go.

Id like the fans to be more vocal at the board and give them some abuse. The arrogance of them 

This. Remember the vitriol aimed at Lowe back in the day? Ankersen in particular has had far too easy a ride.

Back in the day I’dve been scarlet with rage, screaming at this crap, now it’s just a shrug of the shoulder. 
Players don’t care so why should I.

you care because at the end of the season the players can fuck off you as a supporter are stuck with where they leave the club.

With this relegation the club are about to discover why it was piss poor business to treat the fans who stuck with them down the leagues last time with such disdain. Maybe if those who had a season ticket in league one had been given that discount we were promised, you'd have more of us sticking around now to make an atmosphere and more importantly, supporting the club next season. 

You've driven away a large portion of the diehards, and the fairweathers and the kids (who are only really Prem fans, lets be honest) won't stick around.

I don't know why everybody is getting so het up about this - we have been relegated for absolutely months.  Today is just another nail going in, we basically went down when the Welsh clown came into town, that was an astoundingly stupid football decision in anybody's book.  With our 'strikers', and complete lack of goals or of anybody who can create - we were doomed to the drop months ago.  Relax, it's gonna be a long ride down and I don't think it will be bottoming out in the Championship either - some of our players ain't gonna cut it there either.

Wonder if Marsch would have got a tune out of this lot?

Our genius probably tried to low ball him to save cash.

Going forward he would have, almost certainly. So I think Leeds and West Ham we’d have picked something up.

Selles should be gone after this. Appoint the man you want for next year and let him go from here. Guarantee our bunch of bellends will appoint someone on August 1st. 

I get what you're saying, but chances are we'll have more choice in the summer. Unless Viera is open to coming in which case, get him in.

Any PL team had 4 managers in one season? Lets set another classic record.

Another opportunity to it it on our huge strikers head and guess what…? We didn’t.

Frankly we should have kept Jones, not that I wanted him here in the first place, but not in a 100 years would he allowed our team to be passive. We would have kicked the arse of teams and seen if they were up to it.

As he was there may of well have gone for it. 

Selles is the thinking mans Steve Wigley

Nobody would do that. They would have a relegation on their CV.

Not with this team it hasn't.  In order to win games you have to score goals, we don't.  In order to draw games you have to be both physically and mentally tough - we aren't.  We are a very, very poor football team - there was no hope of ever avoiding the drop.

Sam Allardyce used to joke that if his name was exotic like Sammi Alledici then he'd get the top jobs.

 

We've actually gone and appointed the Spanish Steve Wigley.

Indeed and it could be argued that Selles should shoulder a good proportion of blame for the relegation - he’s hardly found a solution to our demise with a significant amount of money spent to support him.

Just to borrow Trouser’s log in for a moment. Is it possible Selles was told he could have the job if we are in the Championship next season?

Even the very clever in his own mind Wankersen wouldn't be that stupid.

Semmens dream of a ground full of tourists with fans of both clubs happily sitting together politely applauding the latest round of soccerball is about to die
