Apparently Aston Villa have put in a late appeal over Jack Stephens’ red card. Let’s hope it fails.

What do you call a defender who can't defend? A Southampton defender!

Lots of fair points there @Saint86. For me though it still goes back to not adapting the playing philosophy, even when all your best players are missing. Last night should have been an agricultural display, full of backs-to-the-wall defending, sh@thousery and lumping it clear at every chance. Instead we had that dreadful showing, capped off by the disgraceful antics of HIS CHOSEN CAPTAIN. The sad thing is that the game played out exactly as most of us predicted.

You can be critical without totally destroying someone in public. Bottom line is that Captain Jack has let the club down badly on more than one occasion. It’s simply not acceptable and shouldn’t be presented any other way.

Deserves the sack for that comment alone. Absolute weapon.

Definitely not Dagenham & Redbridge. We struggle to beat one team, let alone two.

VAR is just so mad. The one thing I wish they’d do is simply thicken the offside lines to give a very minor advantage to attackers, so we can stop these ridiculously close calls (that are often based on the wrong frame / angle). If they were nice and chunky and you see the attacker first then call offside in seconds (rather than minutes) and crack on with the game. I also think there should be a maximum 60 seconds for a review. No decision = No change.

We’ve proper given Arsenal the kiss of death here, 2-4!

Haha and then they score the minute I type that!

0-9 watch between West Ham and Arsenal (again)!

Fuck off!

Well, I thought some of our throw ins were ok.

13 games in and Brighton set to go TWENTY ONE points above us.

Possession watch 👀

I actually think that looks quite decent from an attacking perspective, but it all falls apart at the back. I’m going 4-4 here.

I see Saints’ social media team still have a sense of humour…

We’re so winning today with that lineup!

You know it’s serious when the % of people voting yes (92% as I type) is even higher than the possession % that his ineffective brand of football delivers.

What a crock of shite. Surely we’re already cooked?

Fuck off.

Fucking Mike Dean calling a foul. Twat.

He played in the 4-0 away win back in 2019 I believe. Good lad!

Yup, that's basically it. Very difficult to provide potentially life-saving treatment with a game going on (wouldn't be easy for fans in the same area either I'd imagine).

His nightmare run ends!

Had me off my sofa, during the highlights! Absolutely stellar save, one of the best I’ve seen.
