We don’t want to admit we got it wrong and left the squad too bare in certain areas, so we will refuse to look at it. Seemingly that’s a better look for the club to not look desperate, than actually trying to rectify the issue now.

They’ve regressed back to the “let’s fly in the face of common sense and just randomly sign a Man City academy graduate even though he doesn’t fit the profile of what we need” mantra. Idiotic

Edozie hasn’t been good enough ever, cannot believe he’s still at the club. Can’t stand him

Yep, never known a saints side just happily allow a team time and space to line up crosses into our box and put zero pressure on the ball. Fucking ridiculous

Can’t believe we’re now so weak for wide options to replace Leo that we’ve had to watch 45 mins of that useless cunt Edozie doing fuck all yet again . One of the most ineffective wide players in our history. Worse than De Ridder at the same level . Yet Jay Robinson is out on loan . Madness yet par for the course under these owners. Fucking clueless

Baz is boss

Funny thing is no-one else cares, just them, even Pompey fans aren’t that fussed about it. They’re an embarrassment

Never known a more odious, butter wouldn’t melt fanbase than those cunts

No clean sheet yet again. Ridiculous

Come to something though doesn’t it when a goalkeeper plays 90 plus minutes , for 46 games a season for a club and we are highlighting a grand total of 2 saves he’s made that you’d call great saves , in amongst relentlessly not saving shots he should do. Just shows how fucking shite he’s been doesn’t it.

Not sure why anyone feels particularly bad for someone who’s not good enough for a job they’re getting paid life changing amounts of money for and being set up for life as a result of it. The bloke is stealing a living at the level he’s playing at

What does “good pedigree” even mean? What are the attributes that qualify him for that? Seems to me that it’s entirely based on the “he used to be at Man City” factor. Well so did the equally horrific Juan Larios.

Just got in from the game. How’d he go tonight? Guessing a calm assured solid performance where he slipped largely under the radar and didn’t draw attention to himself at all?

Just got back. Very good performance, everyone giving their all. Other than the first 20 mins of the second half I thought we were very dominant and could’ve scored more than we did. Downes absolutely immense again and thrived as captain. 3 out of 3 at home with 11 goals scored, St Mary’s has potential to be a fortress for us this season if we keep this level of intensity up. We tend to also do better against sides who come to attack us such as the last 2 sides we’ve played here.

Remember this well as it was also our first 3rd tier game for decades at home to Millwall. Couldn’t believe it when I heard the score. That keeper didn’t play again im pretty sure? Also Gunn was sacked after another couple of games and replaced by lambert who was Colchester manager that day, who then took Norwich to the title, and beat Colchester away 5-0 in the reverse game!

The stoke error was a godsend for us really as even SR wouldn’t have been able to integrate him back into our squad after that, on top of his performances for us before hand.

Lets be honest you’d be livid if your Sunday league keeper let that one in after a night on the piss

Other than the endless amount of memorable errors posted here, I’m with ping pong, I can’t remember any.

When you collate it all together and look at it all as a whole, you realise the amount of points this clown has cost us from not even being capable of doing the basics of his job. Still pisses me off the amount of time we persisted in him as our number 1. Criminal

£4m per win is definitely winning the managers net spend trophy. What a hero

From pre season 2024/25; Southampton manager Russell Martin is hoping to "surprise some people" this season as he prepares to take charge of a top-flight side for the first time in his career. The former Norwich defender led the Saints into the Premier League through the Championship play-offs back in May. Now he is ready to test his football philosophy against the best sides in English football. "It is illogical to me that we would get to the Premier League and, through fear or lack of belief, we would then do something else," Martin told BBC Sport. "There are going to be games when we play against amazing opposition and maybe look a bit different, but we won't go away to Manchester City or Liverpool and set up to camp. We just won't do it. "We have to accept sometimes we will get beaten, but then at other times we will have beautiful moments, games and results that people don't expect. "Maybe we will surprise some people." Southampton open up against Newcastle United at St James' Park on Saturday, 17 August. As the famous Gordon Ramsey phrase goes “you do surprise me yes, you surprise me by how shit you are!”

Jay Robinson has just scored for Monza away at Parma. Only his second game for them I believe.

Leicester fans are absolutely fuming with his post match interview where he takes Zero responsibility and blames the young players for the defeat. They obviously still don’t know him very well yet. As has been said earlier, he was the sole reason we completely embarrassed ourselves in the premier league . He knew full well we were being embarrassed every week but he stuck to his guns on the style for Russell Martin’s benefit rather than Southampton FCs. Far more interested in his image and was happy for the club to be absolutely ridiculed and battered every single week and mocked in the media, in the process. There is a reason only one other side in 34 years of premier league football have done as badly as we did. The bloke is an absolute prick

So ruddy bloody brave….
