You're correct - if we win he will 100% keep his job all through December, and at that point the January window opens so he's staying for the whole season. Even if we lose they are not sacking him. Personally I am resigned to it now. Just to say that this is the test for the "chopping and changing doesn't work" and "he just needs time" boys who, if it was down go them, no manager would ever get sacked. Because every manager becomes Lawrie Mac or Alex Ferguson just by staying in post for a long time. Well this season I think they are getting that wish so we can all reap the glorious benefits. Chopping and changing never ever works but leaving managers in post always works. I look forward to the glory.

Calling @gio1saints: needed to decipher the above. 😉

I think you know exactly where I was going with this you just decided to evade the debate by picking apart the made up scenarios .. let’s make it clearer. You want us to beat Liverpool right if you get your wish this will absolutely hundred buy Martin more time in charge maybe.not the exaggerated 3 months I said earlier but would probably lock him in for the whole of December at least .. he will now have two wins out of his last 3 games including a huge scalp in Liverpool .wankersion and his cronies will be feeling bullish and that his patience in him is starting to pay off this in turn is exactly what I mean by papering over cracks ..if you don’t think Martin getting a extended run is papering over the cracks then maybe you also think he has a shot of turning it around ? me on the other hand Sure I’d take a Liverpool beat down if that means getting to the root cause of our problems .. there Is a bigger picture here.. a Martin win just buys him more time and Stops the board doing what they need to do Also gotta factor in the more cut off and behind we get it’s gonna be getting harder and harder with every loss we rack up to attract a decent replacement .. it’s kinda key to any hope we have of surviving that the board move before it’s totally over we both wish well for saints but sometimes you have to hit bottom to heel I just cannot agree that anything delaying martins sacking is good for our season anymore

Put it on top of the aircraft carrier, there's fuck all else on it.

Yep, it’s called pissing your money up against the wall. Why can’t we just be a normal fucking football club instead of this clever bollocks bullshit.

Yep. Whether Ukraine agree or forced to grudgingly accept it that will be part of any negotiation. Hopefully the terms will be tough for Russia that it's painful for them to agree to.

Optimistic rather than wrong

Hoping for no more than a 0-2. Is that wrong of me?

Maybe I'm not thinking straight, or the sarcasm has gone over my head, but how can we miss someone who's had next to zero impact in the 14 months he's been here...?

There is already a working title “nothing or fuck all”

And spare a thought for poor old Smallbone who has had such a terrible time waiting for his bottiie to heal.

Is there any chance of Ross being back for this one ? Feels like we have missed him since his injury at arsenal.

"We spend £1billion a week on defence. Let's fund our NHS instead" Should attract approx 52% of the population. Could put it on the side of a tank. Or an aircraft carrier.

Don't you mean "That planet was explored..."?

Seem to be looking to invest in lots of young, high upside players. That's strange, if we wanted to stay up surely we'd be looking for players who are good to go now and can help us this season. It's as if it's part of a wider strategy...

Ibrahim Maza: 18 year-old at Hertha Berlin, apparently, not merely Endrick. https://www.footballfancast.com/southampton-plotting-january-loan-move-for-real-madrid-endrick/ Attacking midfielder. Looks promising. Seems we are planning ahead for MF’s replacement already. But … In true Saints’ style likely to cost less than his predecessor. In that way lies SR’s profits ever increasing and Saints’ ever downward league position trajectory (as if it needed any help). 🙁

You've clearly managed to get over that Branfoot Twerking video, having dropped MLT, more quickly than I have. 🙂

Albeit for a team performing much, much worse than a team who played Russball in the same league last year.

Semantics. This war will end with both sides talking, and as a result each will stop throwing bombs, and Russia will either keep some land or Ukraine will accept that it ain't coming back. Whatever you want to call it, that's the inevitable outcome, and always was.

Or send them to Ukraine and see if they last a week?

I'm sure he does when he's working, but like every other being in existence, we don't work 24/7 365, I can forgive him for taking a trip down the beach 😂 If he's posting it straight after our next heavy loss then people might have a right to be angry (and I'd agree) but it's the international break and we have no idea when that photo was actually taken. Of all the sticks to beat the man with right now, this ain't it 😂

According to you our armed forces are so crap they wouldnt last a weekend if put up against the Russians so why not scrap them and spend the money on hospitals?

A stalemate is a military impasse, by definition it is not negotiated. If it were to occur, what would be the benefit of ceding any land?

If this ends as a stalemate, it'll be negotiated, and involve either an agreement to cede land or at least an acknowledgement that land ain't coming back.

Anyone else seeing the irony in a Scottish Nationalist citing nationalism as a bad idea...? At least it'll give Alanis Morrisette a new verse should she ever feel the need to write a sophomore version of her most renowned piece of work...
