Waste of shirt. Would rather we were blooding in young Amo up there. BBD offers nothing.

Are dildos classed as limbs?

Come on Saints FFS!

Ok, you refer to relegated managers (not the “titans”) that have bounced back, inferring that sticking with RM might be beneficial in the right circumstances. This worked for Bagpuss and Dyche because they knew how to adapt to win games. In contrast, RM always reverts back to his possession obsession ideology and it has failed consistently this level. I don’t have a personal vendetta against RM. I wish he would adapt his game to suit our players. Not try to adapt our players to suit his game. If our players were capable of that, they’d already be playing for Pep.

I think you are seriously over-rating RM comparing him with any of those managers above (including HR and SD). He is much more comparable with Billy Davies and Paul Jewell. Just as some players are just not good enough for the Premier League, so are some managers. Both of those managers (BD & PJ) achieved promotion with different clubs to the Prem but failed miserably as PL managers at every attempt (although I think Jewell managed to keep Wigan up by the skin of their teeth - which probably makes him a better manager than Russ on paper). The pair finally combining in a joint venture that consigned Derby to the history books.. A record that looked set in stone until now. RM may come good for someone in the future (I don't think he will) but we need change now and the bottom line is RM doesn't know how to win games at this level.. just like he won't do in two years time if we stick with him and manage to fluke another promotion.

The only think “clicking” anytime soon is Ross Stewarts knees!

He probably gives her the same patter as he gives Rasmus week in-week out, and they’re both daft enough to fall for it.. “Let me try again.. just one more go.. it’ll be better next time.. I promise!”

Is it too early for Festive songs yet? Surely we can get a bit of Slade's Merry Christmas in for our Russ.. Are you hanging on to your shitty Russball? We’re all hoping that the axe will start to fall! You just ride that red and white cash cow, (not Lucy) Sending teams out to get slayed! Why do SR keep you at Saints anyway? So, here it is Russ and Rasmus, is everybody having fun? Look to the future now, we’re heading for League one. Are you waiting for the goalfest to arrive? Are you sure you've passed enough from side to side? Does your keeper always tell ya? Sometimes long balls are the best.. As he picks the ball again out from his net? So, here it is Russ and Rasmus, is everybody having fun? Look to the future now, we’re heading for League one. Are you handing your resignation to the board? Is it time now everyone knows you're a fraud. Or will you take us down the leagues now? Into obscurity we’ll fade? But you won’t give a toss, you’ll still get paid. So, here it is Russ and Rasmus, is everybody having fun? Look to the future now, we’re heading for League one.

Shame it wasn’t his P45 and his w*nk football philosophy.

..but it will give him another excuse.

Maybe not at the start.. but I will do if we win! Cum on you Saints!!

Well, I think it's great that we have a manager whose personality really shows through his tactical genius.

I keep telling myself this.. but it never happens. The football has generally been shit since mid way through Ralph’s tenure when he was expected to play with a reserve team and no striker. Things have steadily declined since, culminating in RMs farcical fantasy football ..but I still haven’t missed a game yet. Gives me something to moan about, I suppose.

I reckon he just nicked our black box.

🦀 ⚽️ 🤡

Or.. it could go the other way.. DS: “Hi Ras, It’s Dragan. You’re fired, and take that crab kicking c*nt with you! Bye bye”. 🙏🏼

I’d have Donald and Elon here in a heartbeat. #MSGA

That’s pretty conclusive. We’ve played the shittest team in the Premier League and lost convincingly without a single shot on target. WE are now officially the shittest team in the Premier League. Will we officially be the shittest team EVER in the Premier League. I think we probably will. Our squad is poor. Our strikers are ALL shit. Our manager is a clueless twat. And we’re all stuck watching this shit indefinitely because our board have been duped into believing RM is the football messiah and don’t have the balls (or cash) to admit they got it wrong. What a mess!

It all starts from awful defending from the set piece.. again, and should definitely have been finished off by Tarkovsky or Beto. That would have been game over but we got lucky, thankfully. Initially it looks like an excellent, quick counter attack. Something we don't see nearly enough of from this current team. But.. it's not. Fernandes stops the counter and puts his foot on the ball to pass backwards to Aribo. Aribo gives it back and Fernandes hits it square across the halfway line. I don't have a problem with this so far, we still have the ball, but at this point, we are all expecting aimless "recycling" around the back, then back to Ramsdale, so on an so forth, rinse and repeat. But for THB looking up and playing a great ball down the line to Suga, the goal doesn't happen. This is the type of ball we're crying out for every game.. not the over-passing/recycling we've come to expect from RM's "philosophy". Saints looked good on the attack here, we just don't get to see it enough. Let's hope we do at Wolves. Scrappy 2-2

I think we all want pretty much the same thing. Nobody wants to see Pulis or Alardyce ‘esque style football but it’s not as black & white as that. I think I see it as many others do on here. RM’s teams over-play the ball at the back.. (obviously!) This leads to mistakes as it would with any team made up of any players in this league. It’s not because our defenders are crap. If you knock the ball around for long enough, then someone’s going to take it off you. RM also has our midfielders stuck in a loop. They have to play keep ball with the defenders without driving forward and finding our front men. How many times do we see the ball go straight back to the player it’s just come from without the midfielder looking up for the forward pass? This isn’t ‘Brave’ or “Being brave on the ball”, it is, in fact, cowardly football where you’d rather turn away from the challenge ahead than face it head on. It’s like saying your being brave by jumping in the ring with Tyson ..then running around the ropes for 3 minutes to avoid getting lumped. It’s not brave, it’s stupid. While you’re in there, you may aswell try to twat him because you’re either going to run around until you’re out of puff and trip over your own feet, or he’s gonna catch you with a haymaker and knock you out anyway! So.. when our back 8 have all had a touch or ten each in our own half, we can move forward. Only now, we have 11 men to beat as the opposition are all bored (the same as the rest of us) and back in their own half, fully re-energised and waiting for that inevitable loose pass that leaves 7 of our back 8 on the half way line, with only Rambo to beat on the counter as the ball’s knocked over the top, while our full backs are still holding hands with their full backs. RM’s football is boring, risky and predictable. I’m struggling to see what we are waiting for that will make any difference this season or any other season in the top flight. RM has to be more flexible or this shit just aint gonna work.. ever!

we deserved that! COYS!

This is it. The day it all falls into place. The start of a 10 match unbeaten run. Looking forward to eating a huge slice of humble pie. Come on Saints! 4-0 ..if not, RM is still shit!

Chelsea playing Russball

SR won’t be around in 10 years time. Dragan will get bored with his new toys in the next few years when they’re under-achieving and costing him cash. He’ll sell up and move on. We’ll be left with a Div 1 basket case of a club. Saints deserve better than this crap.
