Look at Southampton Australia Supporter on facebook, they will no doubt have it sorted! On a similiar note will Sydney Saints be going to Cheers Bar? Fear we will be outnumbered by a lot of Leeds fans, so I am only going if others are!

I agree with the fellow posters fearing about what happens if we do get promoted. This squads even with some quality additions feel so off premier league standard. And Martin's aproach would be destroyed by every single club currently in the league. God help us if we do go up!

Awful performance. This team is so frustrating. Anyone else petrified of what will happen if we somehow go up. God help us in the premier league with this squad and manager. Will be a horror show.

people complaining about this hilarious 😂. As Steve eloquently said on the podcast... we're bottom of the league and there ain't much out there. Think he will be a good fit and if he is prepared to manage in the championship seems a no brainer.

anyone else struggling to get THAT excited when we still have NJ in charge... I don't think these signings change the trajectory of where we are going.

Don't feel that bad. Should have scored at 4-0 and never was a penalty/red. Manager and players should remember that and laugh it off. Beat Newcastle

maybe selling all of our backup centre mids to Fulham wasn't a good idea.

the most offensive bit of the entire thing is his lack of use of paragraphs.

This is a fascinating article about the massive problem all sports have https://www.si.com/mlb/2020/04/10/sports-arent-coming-back-soon . Supports your prediction...

Can everyone agree this is the most bonkers season ever!? 9th in the league! After the Leicester thumping and that Everton loss at home, I don't think anyone could've imagined this. Well done Ralph. Huge credit to him and the team. Do we now have to start worrying about him being poached by another club? Ha.

Amazing result and what a run we’ve had. Fair play to Ralph he has turned it around big time. Like others have said still in shock about the last few weeks. We were dead and buried after Leicester, most people had accepted relegation and now we’re 12th. Bonkers season. It does feel very tight at the bottom though and teams seem to keep on winning. So we need to keep it going, not safe yet. Fair play to Ralph though and to the board for sticking with him.

Great Pod. Informed discussion and felt that the everton de-brief could have gone on longer. Surprised no one said Ralph should go though...

Bring back Puel. Seriously. The man got us to 8th in the league and it was largely the same players. To be honest I am sure I feel like most fans... over it. Bored of this sh!t. Do I care if we stay up? I guess, but who wants more seasons of this. Sadly when we go down, I don’t see us coming back anytime soon. The club is rotten. Hard to believe what has happened since Koeman days. Final thought was when England announced their u21 team this week not a saints player in sight. Remember when we used to fill those teams up... now nothing. Even the academy has turned to ****. Grim.

Fascinating article and clearly The Athletic have a put a lot of work into it with how many journalists are credited. A really depressing read with so many sources (including players and staff) disillusioned. No real solutions offered either... can't help we are turning into the new Sunderland, it seems so rudderless at the moment.

Unbelievable. Woke up down under at half time and went back to bed, genuinely thought there was a glitch on the bbc app when I checked final score... Can’t help thinking sacking Ralph is the wrong move, but I dunno. Who the hell do you bring in? Puel, Pellegrino, Hughes and now Ralph. Don’t think its the managers who are the problem but the players and the people running the club. a new manager I don’t think will change much... That being said losing 9-0 to Leicester at home is beyond belief so if he does go you can’t complain that much. Part of me is like a lot of you and doesn’t really care if we go down, maybe it is what we need. But I can’t help looking at clubs like Sunderland, Stoke and even Pompey and thinking we MUST stay up. Oh well only Man City next...

Just googled them and it revealed nothing. No twitter handle either bit strange for sports marketing... hmmm

most alarming thing I thought was how the players reacted after we equalised. total headless chickens going gung ho for win. A calm head on the pitch was needed to tell them to calm down and take the point. So annoying. ffs

Feels like a big big game. Win and we're 6 points from the relegation zone and I think will feel like we're waving goodbye to a relegation battle. Lose and I think it will feel very scary again! COYR.

I have no idea if replacing Hughes would work or not... but I feel his persistence with Austin sums him up. Worrying that this season is beginning to look like last, not sure if we will be so lucky this time. man the Adkins, Poch, Koeman premier league days were good, miss them.

A sub plot to follow having spoken to an Arsenal mate is their game on thursday night. We need Atletico to win, we want Wengers last game to be against Huddersfield with no final on the horizon. If they get to the final they will rest everyone against huddersfield. If they're out they will play first team v huddersfield and will be desperate to win for him! We need an atletico win

woken up down under and still not over it. that stung. Looked like the saints of old for first 60 mins, and then confidence just disappeared as soon as they got 1 back. Got to remember these lot were champions and still quality team. I dunno maybe I'm delusional but if we play like that in last 5 games we could get a few wins. But feels like it is all a bit too late! In other news 10,000 miles away in Sydney in a pub - Chelsea fans still the worst kind of people on the planet.

only good news being in Australia I said to myself if it is 3-0 at halftime I will go to bed. Cheers Marko. g'night

My fear is that the board will wait for Wigan and a likely win, then they can use the Wembley PR bullsh!t to whitewash the Pellegrino Out chat! That is a terrible idea. Surely they now realise it is now or never. If they don't why not? Tell us?

I genuinely think this squad is good enough to finish in the top half let alone finish above the relegation zone. I think most fans/pundits and statos agree. With that in mind SURELY it is obvious that the manager is the issue, and he has to go now, so we can get someone who can move us up the table. Luckily it is so tight that in the space of a few games we could be almost safe, but they can't wait much longer. I really think it is now or never.
