Toussaint

I don’t think he dropped anything, the whole team was fading badly, but more importantly he would have wanted to see as many of the main squad as he could. Hopefully he will have learned enough to get Sulemana out of the door and use AA and Aribo as occasional late substitutes only.

The lack of fitness and conditioning became apparent in the second half today it seemed, they were totally unable to continue the impressive intensity of the first half.

Garbage

He was in the training pics yesterday

He could only dream of reaching such dizzying heights.

3 points incoming!

Anyone hear Sam Matterface on talksport commentating on the Villa City game? He said if Saints get anything from the game tomorrow they will have outperformed Man City since 1/11. Incredible

He only came here for Smallbone, he’d previously been restricted to admiring him from afar, now he can be a proper favourite!

Well?… I’m irrationally positive now we have rid ourselves of the footballing dementor. The second half against Liverpool shows what can be done if effort and positivity are applied, “hard work beats talent” etc. realistically it may not beat it but it does give you a much better chance. I think we’ll see more of that under Juric. Hopefully we’ll rid ourselves of some of the deadwood and make a decent signing or two in the January window. it ain’t over ‘till it’s over. in Ivan we trust.

Very harsh on Manning who has been one of our gutsiest and most consistent players during this terrible period. I’m not sure we will see KWP again?

I haven't excluded it as a possibility. We have some talent, I expect us to add more in the window, we have employed a competent and experienced manger. The only way is up!

Well I’m happy enough, welcome aboard Ivan.

I do not work in the world of elite football, so how could I possibly know? It is still an attractive and extremely lucrative job, it would have been more attractive if be new guy had longer to turn it round. I have nothing further to add.

It’s not a simple question at all, no one could possibly know. The point being made, as you well know, is that we’d have been fishing in a much bigger pond.

Conte - FACT

After the last three left field disasters I’d much prefer to go for a known quantity this time, Moyes would fit the bill nicely.

Someone who wants to earn millions of pounds, who wants to be challenged, who sees it as a fantastic opportunity, who will raise their profile managing in the most watched league in the world. I'm sure there are several other motivating factors and more worth candidates than you could shake a stick at. We'll find out very soon who that person is. I'm just grateful its no longer the terrible egotist, Russel Martin.

You sir, are a a very harsh judge!

It took the first half to exorcise Russball. If you’re going to judge him on anything it would be the second half.

He thought they’d take him to the cleaners

You can’t help yourself can you?

Nothing, he’d be great for us. If you haven’t listened to it already have a listen to his interview with Simon Jordan in the up front podcast

What were you expecting? It’s going to take a while to get the disastrous rusball shite out of the system
