hypochondriac

He's an England International. He either stays with us another season or someone pays 30 million. Either way is good for us.

Fair enough. Bednarek, Smallbone, Downes, Amo Ameyew, Charles, Archer, Armstrong and Lallana should be pretty decent in the championship.

This game is the nadir surely? We can't get lower.

I Hooe we sign no players in January. Absolutely no point in wasting money when we are already relegated. Promotion season 2025 starts now. Get Martin out and get a new man in hwo is fit for the job.

I can't see him not going shortly after this match. There's no chance he survives surely?

I don't disagree. The players are terrible but they aren't five points after half a season terrible. Our utter failure is on Martin and his style of play. Ideally sports Republic sell to someone else but as a minimum Martin needs sacking after this game.

I don't think any team has been subjected to this in the history of the prem. He needs to go. At half time woukd be great but failing that he needs to be binned off at full time. Please.

You've been defending Martin. Presumably you agree this is totally unacceptable?

This team set up correctly would not be in five point right now. This is a disgrace and it's sullying the name of our club. We should be hiding the players and management to a higher standard.

Please can the people there chant for Martin's head. Absolutely obvious now that he needs to go as soon as possible. Get a manager in to build foe next year.

We didn't buy much quality in the summer, I would expect us to be down the bottom but to capitulate in such a fashion and to be one of if not the worse team ever in this league is completely unacceptable. This is a humiliation and it needs to end.

I think if he's not sacked after this I don't know if I can keep supporting the club.

19 laughs now.

That's the response of a man starved of laughing emojis.

He pointed to evidence to support his claim so it's not some unsubstantiated opinion. He was also clearly joking.

Completely fair enough. I wouldn't want my club to be that either. I mean we are all stepping stone clubs in reality but to have it so explicit like that is difficult to swallow.

Probably worth pointing out that I went an entire year without responding to a single thing he said and he messaged about me multiple times. It didn't make a blind bit of difference if he was responded to or not.

Hi soggy. Not sure if you missed it but I responded to one of those links you posted. I wouldn't want to think you're just ignoring it.

People writing off Potter when he almost certainly would never come here so we will almost certainly end up with an inferior manager is very funny.

Agree not sure why he'd want to come to us. If there's even a small chance though he should be top of our list. I thought he'd be trying for the England job.

To come to saints? Last I heard he wanted the west ham job and I can't see him ever coming here but if there was a chance we should bite his hand off.

Absolutely. I don't think he cares at all about Southampton - he's had little digs at the fans throughout his time here. I think Martin is really good at the PR side and saying the right things but he'd jump ship tomorrow if he thought he could get a leg up.

I don't know. He would be able to point to examples of managers who have followed similar paths and found success (ange and kompany are two.) He would probably argue that he would be successful now if he had a better quality of player.

Young people today do not have enough respect for traditional British values- Bit of a generalisation but in general that is correct. Migrants coming to the United Kingdom across the English Channel should all be immediately removed from the United Kingdom and prevented from ever returning- 100% correct. No one jumping the queue and crossing the channel in that manner should be allowed to stay here. The sentences that the courts hand down to people who have been convicted of crimes are not harsh enough- Not sure about this. Again it's a generalisation but there are certainly some crimes that I think are punished too harshly whilst some are not punished harshly enough. Multiculturalism has made the UK worse - Not sure I entirely agree with this but undoubtedly there are a lot of examples of multiculturalism being a net negative in areas of the UK. Personally I would say the amount and rate introduced has been the issue rather than multiculturalism itself. Rich people in the UK are able to get around the law or get off more easily than poorer people- I would imagine the majority on this forum would agree with that. If you have more money or status or are a politician you are much more likely to get off crimes that others would get prosecuted for When it comes to defence spending, the government should spend more on defence- Yep. With world politics as they are at present this is common sense. The death penalty in the UK should be permitted for some crimes- I don't personally support this but it's not an outlandish view to have. Big businesses in the UK take advantage of ordinary people- Definitely true in a number of cases. Most on the forum would agree. Ordinary working people do not get their fair share of the nation's wealth- Again I assume the likes of soggy would agree with this. Utilities like energy, water and railways should be run in the public sector- This is pretty much a labour policy When it comes to transgender status, people in Britain should not be able to legally change their gender- totally correct and currently this is the law. Rich people in the UK should be taxed more than average earners- Another Labour policy that would be supported by most on here. The NHS should be able to use private companies to provide treatment alongside its own services- Complete common sense as long as it is done in the right way. Same sex couples should be allowed to get married- Surprisingly progressive views from Reform voters and certainly more so than some religious groups. So other than maybe multiculturalism and the death penalty, what is so unreasonable about these views?

Oh well played. You said ridiculous bullshit and people stopped and laughed at you. Looks like you got us!
