If this is what RM will be offering us next season then he can sod off right now.

Just lump the thing FFS.

0-1 down and fannying around with the ball in our own half.

This must be some clever RM ruse to make other playoff teams think they can stroll past Saints. Mustn't it?

McCarthy player of the match.

Will someone please look to play the ball forward?

Not as if their 'keeper has had anything to do. Saints blunt as a very blunt thing.

And backwards we go again.

Saints on the ropes.

Saints defence cut apart ... and again. McCarthy saves.

Get Brooks off if only because if he gets another yellow we'll be down to 10 men. He's pretty awful as well mind you.

We'll likely be in Stoke's position this time next season ... but not as good.

Right through McCarthy. This is dreadful.

Tall Paul would have buried that cross.

Stoke also as bad as Saints with their finishing too.

Stoke have obviously been watching how other teams press Saints tippy-tap defence.

Think I'd have gone with Lumley in goal. Looks to me like RM has picked the attack out of a hat.

Nope but it could make a difference. Just as I liked to see Franny stepping out to play for Saints.

Looked to me like he bent the lad's ankle by treading on him.

At least Stephens might actually give a toss.

Nearly broke a lad's ankle.

Having listened to the Stephens interview on Solent I reckon I'd have him back in the team for the remaining games. He'd at least have a go. Especially if THB gets a retrospective red card.

Just seen RM's interview. He's lost it.

A brave 5-0 defeat that RM will claim as a possession victory.

Clueless in attack as well. RM has reached his peak. It'll be back to the Swansea level next season.
