Finishing 7th is disastrous for the club. The longer we stay in the Championship, the harder it is to get out of it. Income drops off significantly each season you don't go up, especially if we aren't promoted after the 2nd season.

I don't really care about income

New manager! Cheap option.......

 

Could do no worse than this season choices

[Saint NL]

Stewart hooked at half time.

Totally pointless signing

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Lovely day here. Local non league team at home. Could race back to watch us...saw  3 centre halves with Sule there to provide for Mr Rust...mind nearly made up then...saw that first had gone in, and decided to stay where I was.

You're in cloud cuckoo land, there is no way on this earth we will be anywhere near seventh, and who the fuck is going to buy even half of the complete and utter crap that we have amassed as a 'squad'?

Absolutely this - this team looks like a club in free-fall. The decline has been slow and started sometime between Koeman and Ralph…like a case of corporate footballing Alzheimer’s.

[benjii]

Gone to 4 at the back. Let's hope it isn't somehow worse.

Income impacts wage and transfer budget. So you should care as it impacts our ability to have a strong squad. The longer you stay down the harder it becomes!

Injured I suspect

Captain Twat off as well? Shame

Birtles telling us that we've gone downhill since he played against us in the league cup final for Forest in 1979 was the highlight of the first half. Fucking moron. 

Got the 'B' team on commentary today. Hopefully they'll take the microphone away from the air-conditioning unit on my stream for the second half!

Got to agree with Birtles, no point in changing the No9 if you don't knock it to him.

[Saint NL]

Dibling losing possession in a dangerous area? I don't believe it

[obelisk]

First thing Dibling does is to lose the ball. Results in Leicester corner.

[John Boy Saint]

Far more joy on a grand tour of the village play parks with my 4 year old Grandson - thanks lad for giving me something better to do.

The new recruitment set-up hasn't had a chance to have an impact yet. I'm not saying they will turn it around, but lets see what they can do before dismissing them on the actions of others.

Sulemana has the ball on the left and not a single player in the box

At least those divvies have bothered to go and support their team during this shit show of a season 

I’ve been to 14 away games, isn’t that that punishment enough? So fuck off

Sorry I meant I'd forfeit any shot at promotion (no idea why we'd want that, but it's what the club will be looking at) if we can have a completely fresh start

Your sentiment was perfectly clear. MLG confessed to being a "bit of a twat" last week, and is just living up to it.

Tall Paul and Dibling were in the box. Just not in the right part of it.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Yellow Sulemana - why? Too slow.

[obelisk]

Leicester easily play through the Saints press, get the ball forward and have a shot.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Their players are so much better moving the ball forwards. We dream of playing decent football.

For all the clubs looking to fleece and ignore "legacy" fans, it's amazing how many other things are their to replace watching dross. Something they should all keep in mind when things aren't going well.

Seems like they want to give goals away 

[dellboysaint]

Russell Martin with his crappy ‘russball’ system has produced a team with no fight, no desire to win the ball and no pace. Passing slowly around in our own half has produced players who have lost the desire to compete.

Your faith in the new recruitment set-up is admirable 

(Odds-on I'll get a bite on this statement before the end of the season... )

We almost did a goal!

[Saint NL]

Ooooh offside shame

[benjii]

Great cross Sulemana 

[benali-shorts]

Garry Birtles doesn’t understand offside. Moaning old cunt.

You're a lovely guy MLG. Always assuming the best in people. 🥰

[kjurwi]

Can't believe Fernandes still tries and works hard, no one else does.

 

He should not give a fuck, but he does.

Deserved a goal, but offside sadly.

[trousers]

Smallbone to the rescue!

I've no idea how he didn't see that offside 😂

Try reading what I said! I did not say they would be a success! Nor did I say they wouldn't!

So gets taken off.

[trousers]

Fernandes off... WTF...?

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Good subs. Smallbone is going to turn this right round for us 

[BotleySaint]

Unfair to throw a youngster into this. 

Take off two most creative players. 

Looks like we've settled for a the loss. 

[HarvSFC]

Fernandes and Sulemana off, Smallbone and Robinson on. He's thrown the white flag up.

[Saint NL]

"you don't know what you're doing"

 

Rusk making friends out there

[tdmickey3]

Sully and Fernandes off

We are being trolled

Rusk and Lallana are cunts

[stknowle]

At least we’re having a bit of a go. Why not start like that though?

edit - WtF taking Fernandes off 🤦‍♂️ 

[obelisk]

Musk has clearly given up now.

[benjii]

We seem to be officially treating this as a pre-season friendly now.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Crowd shouting “you don’t know what you’re doing” with Fernandes off for Smallbone. Cant say I blame them in the slightest.

[the colonel]

Smallbone to the rescue

That'll teach him! 🙂

Is Rusk actually a Pompey fan?
