Maybe Russell Martin should send the team out wearing 50s and 60s boots on Wednesday. After all iT nEvEr diD tErRy pAiNe aNy hARm nO iT dIdN't

Don't try and explain the word "analyse" to me when you have used the phrase "you can't analyse football" when, obviously, you can.

Cool story. Meanwhile we spent the most on a single player in the Championship last summer. You're pretending Flynn Downes and Taylor Harwood-Bellis are cast offs we scrimped together rather than high performing brilliant promotion level Championship talent? We've got £25m players coming off the bench yesterday. Russell Martin was employed to get us promoted. This season. Stop pretending it is some unbelievable miracle that we are fourth. We are at the bare minimum for the investment made and the support given.

Replace the word "football" here with the word "blue whales" or "inner city children's cognitive development" or "the flow of traffic in metropolitan areas" and you might understand how moronic your statement is. You can "analyse" anything.

One small consolation of failure to get promoted* will indeed be the prospect of a proper Derby match next season. A match against Derby which is just down the road from me.

Yes sorry, should not have quoted you

We've already conceded more goals than pretty much every automatically promoted team in the last decade or so. And we have 11 still to play. We're fourth, not in some one on one shoot out for top. We have Ipswich and Leeds to get past. But yeah you can have a fucking great time sticking it to me when you prove me wrong and we lift the title. Enjoy it x x

I knew we'd score.

Too many subs and we will be wide open. More likely to be a fourth for them than us.

You don't finish in the automatics conceding goal after goal after goal after goal. Abysmal.

HAVE ITTTTTTT

If only we let him do that against Liverpool.

If Stansfield was playing for us in that position he'd be expected to trap it, control it and work it back to the goalkeeper.

We missed those kind of through balls from Brooks vs Liverpool on Wednesday.

I don't think anyone could have foreseen that the manager of a Swansea team that conceded 64 goals last season would be so shit at setting up a team defensively.

They've scored far too early.

Just been having a look at a map of Southampton City Centre trying to work through the ideal open top bus route.

If Leeds drop two points that puts a bit of pressure on Ipswich to take their chance, then they choke and lose, and then we fucking steam on in there on the back of a 4-0 annihilation of Birmingham.

Which made it all the more dopey five months later when despite 20+ unbeaten we were basically as far behind Leicester as we were in September. Anyway, Ipswich and Leeds to lose today and we're back on the second place train.

Also a West Ham fan who might fancy his chances if another manager comes in.

Whatever happens today, we end the day in fourth. The delusions about us winning the league seem like a bloody long time ago now.

And nobody has any idea what will happen. Well, I say nobody...

If by "Saints Shirt" you mean "Uniform for waiting staff at a 50s themed Americana restaurant" then yes, would be lovely.

He has played 13 matches at Championship level in his entire life before signing for us. And two bit parts for us. He's proved nothing to anyone yet.

When they bring in safe standing all twelve verses will be ringing round the ground no problem.
