Didn't we do that last season?

Alright Will, you useless ginger twat. Haven’t you got better things to do than post on here

Sadly that’s a great post. Who will we beat playing like we did today? Or against Boro/Oxford/Millwall? Next 2 games are huge. Skate is massive anyway, but if we get beaten by Sheffield at home as well then we’re in big trouble.

Sadly if we do get a result on Wednesday, this pathetic group will think it’s mission accomplished for now, which means we’ll get absolutely pumped at the fish shed.

I agree that Tonda is not good enough. But just compare the side Martin had to manage. Bednarek, KWP, Stuart Armstrong, a fit and motivated Aribo and Adams. We totally lack that experience and nous.

Would Saints cricket team just continually throw the ball to each other in outfield and not at the stumps for a run out.

There’s more comparisons between cow and dog shit than the industry magazines @Farmer Saint gets delivered.

I’m just rebouncing this….

I can’t see him being dictated to as Tonda clearly has been. Logic to having him and/or Romeu take the next two games, those two have played in El Classico, Liv-Man U and Merseyside Derby. They can cope with a few toothless island inbreds shouting abuse on the touchline and in the build up. Actually would be very cruel to expose Tonda to that pressure cooker.

Bree has been training and playing regularly at Charlton, will he have returned by then?

But we still manage to find a way to lose anyway. It's the Southampton way.

No experience, no nous, zero gravitas. Tail wagging the dog.

the players didn’t give any sort of shit in the home game, they’ll really not give a toss about competing at the rust shed Saints players have given and are just walking around like games are an exhibition match. We watched how bad they were at home to Pompey and Sunday will be the worst game in club's history. The manager and coaching staff have no idea how to counter teams or attack them. The players insist on doing what the manager dictates even though its obviously rubbish.

I like your thinking, but then we'd just have Fellows at RB, which would just be even more stupid than playing him as a WB.

Nah, it's what Still did at the end of his tenure when things were going South and he had those headlights full on him. It's a panic reaction like Nathan Jones started when he was the fittest man in Europe (by his own high, PE teacher standards).

Like a fine wine! Just needed a bit of patience.

Those stats were obviously sitting in a different seat to me (and those around me) where it was obvious we didn't work anywhere near as hard as a quite limited opposition team who turned out to be much better than us and pretty comfortable in the end and were largely shit and ineffective. We seem to have the knack of having bodies in the 'right' areas but they don't do much: stand and watch and not challenge or bust a gut to get back or look for a quick, early pass or pass back (we know who those cunts are) or ... Yet again an exercise in frustration and annoyance and a very long day for no reward or enjoyment. Sports Republic get out of our club.

It’s aged brilliantly now

The home truths bit tickles me. Absolute bullshit does he have the stomach to tell the players how poor they are.

Whilst our home support is crap, some of the early football under him was the best we’ve seen for ages so I’m loathe to be too judgemental or retrospective. Unfortunately the longer contract I suspect came with corporate strictures around formations, which players he could pick, and they’ve left him without experienced coaching at this level around him. Ben Garner….Right to Wet Dream Academy…do me a favour. He’s Rasmus and Spors flunky and has zero respect with the fans and players pretty clearly, but as with all of the managers under SR, he’s had a hospital pass of an environment to work in.

All those fans signing his name after a few games don’t you feel like idiots now.

Is he Ross's brother?

He is using our bases and those in Europe to support his military operations. Without them his operations are screwed unless he uses nukes. Why do you think the Chagos Island base is so important. The US is weaker without the support of the rest of us. Allies don’t threaten you and threaten to take other allies territory. If he was committed to NATO why threaten NATO allies with financial penalties if they don’t hand over land governed by a NATO ally? He is no more trustworthy than Putin. “Yes, the U.S. relies heavily on its European bases for strategic global reach, acting as essential hubs for NATO operations, power projection, and logistics, especially for operations in the Middle Eastand Africa, with major facilities in Germany, Italy, and the UK significantly supporting U.S. and allied military readiness and deterring adversaries like Russia. Key Roles of U.S. Bases in Europe: Launchpad for Global Operations: Bases like Ramstein Air Base in Germany are crucial staging grounds for deployments to other regions, including Africa and the Middle East. NATO Backbone: These bases house key NATO command structures, like the Allied Air Command, solidifying transatlantic defense and U.S. commitment. Deterrence: A strong U.S. presence deters potential adversaries, particularly Russia, and reassures allies, making Europe a critical front line for U.S. security. Logistical Hubs: Facilities like Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples and Naval Station Rota in Italy and Spain provide vital logistical support for naval and air forces in the Mediterranean and beyond. Training & Readiness: They allow for critical joint training with European allies, enhancing interoperability and collective defense capabilities. Examples of Key Bases: Ramstein Air Base, Germany:HQ for US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) and Allied Air Command. Lakenheath & Mildenhall, UK:Key Air Force bases hosting significant personnel. Aviano Air Base, Italy: Supports the only U.S. fighter wing south of the Alps, a key NATO hub. Rota, Spain: A major logistics hub for U.S. and NATO forces. In essence, these European bases are seen as indispensable for projecting U.S. power, maintaining European security, and ensuring U.S. strategic interests are met globally, despite ongoing discussions about burden-sharing within NATO. “

Maybe Lallana was interviewed, didn't like what he heard and turned it down so they moved him to the U21s. Unlikely because I can't imagine he'd have put up with that 🙂
