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….

Yet someone on here has just quoted you and said he did that very thing. No idea why this premise, which is quite a widely used one around football marketing techniques, has resonated with you so strongly that you’re suddenly speaking for entire fanbase. Yet apparently I’m the one talking twaddle. Laughable

So the owner , who rarely speaks if ever publically, has stated that the club owe the fans big time and are determined to get the team to be proud of for the coming season,’and you don’t believe that would’ve encouraged a large number of fans to renew? Ok then. Wasn’t just a run of the mill “rallying cry” that we see from a wheeled out member of the playing squad after a defeat was it. Bizarre take from you that it’s inconceivable.

The irony is, the guy who got their equaliser would be an ideal replacement for Larin towards the end of games and only cost 4m. It’s blatantly obvious these players are out there, yet we spend 9m on a player who can’t get in the side and looks like he won’t do any time soon.

This lot will never learn. One half decent window last summer in amongst half a dozen plus genuinely shocking ones. The recruitment as a whole under this ownership has been the worst at this club in its history by a country mile. They aren’t suddenly going to get it right. Money continues to be wasted heavily on players that aren’t a priority

Prime, vintage Edozie was when he had the ball in our half and couldn’t make his mind up whether to pass it right or left so just pirouetted into midfield traffic just outside our box , lost the ball and been luckily got given a free kick for a non existent foul. There’s a reason he has been been here for 4 years and only played for about 25% of that time, and that’s because he’s shit,

Almost as if that was purely spun out to ensure the fans were kept onside to still renew their season tickets isn’t it?

Seriously what the fucking hell was that? Attempting to Hold on for a 1-0 win at fucking Lincoln who even Pompey went and comfortably beat only 2 weeks ago? Pathetic negative subs and tactics from the manager. Mubama yet again gave us no outlet and looks a fucking terrible signing. Then the moment he goes 5 at the back it’s a literal waving of the white flag. we all knew what was coming. The warning signs had been there before hand. But let’s just take a step back and consider that we got to 65-70 min at 1-0 up away to Lincoln and the management didn’t back the team to get another goal , against a side costing a 10th of ours. Pathetic negative management and subs cost us that. Edozie showing us yet again why he rarely plays, don’t think I’ve ever seen a player with less end product

Disappointing to give up the lead but overall we didn’t deserve to win, we also didn’t deserve to lose in my opinion so will take a point there. They’re usually a strong side at home so can’t complain

Thought he’d signed for WBA for a minute when saw the title of this thread

You’ll tow whatever direction the club are taking pal and you know it. You’ve admitted you enjoy winding people up too when you’re bored so deliberately take the minority view to engage people and amuse yourself. Keep it up, it makes this site more entertaining

It’s what he does. Tows the club line and aligns his opinion to whatever stance the club has taken on a particular topic. If we’d signed Falchener and opted against Abbott at the last minute he’d be saying it’s a no brainer due to the difference in experience. The guys a troll

Don’t worry, the FAB are all over this already, as I have it on good authority that they’re absolutely livid about the lack of activity on the transfer front And are planning something huge

We’re going down aren’t we?

May aswell have Russ Abbott at the back for the rest of the season then, same chances of promotion either way. SR masterclass in full swing here
