If only he could finish. I guess then he wouldn't be at Saints.

Agree, his development would have been much better served playing out the season in the Championship, like Tella. He was poor last season, a few decent months at a mid table Championship club doesn't mean he's ready for the PL, plus we are down anyway. Smallbone had similarly decent reviews when on loan at Stoke, and was far better than Charles last season, yet most on here don't want him anywhere near the team. Silly decision for both us and the player.

Interesting looking at the other results that day. Brighton drawing 1-1 with FC United!

Yeah I'm sure some parts of North Yorkshire are better, only been to York once as a child so don't remember it. I've been to Leeds loads of times due to family connections and it's a dump, horrible place. Grimy buildings, horrible tiny houses with metal bars over the windows etc although some areas aren't so bad. I also find a lot of the countryside(moors etc) up there unappealing as well. Bleak, cold and barren, but maybe that's just me. Give me the New Forest any day.

Like most of the places in Yorkshire I've been to it's a grimy, cold depressing shithole. The City of Culture thing really is a joke. Would have been embarrassing if we'd won it, but it was always going to go to a deprived northern cesspit.

Valid pov's from both ends of the spectrum. I was Kingsland North for years until this season. It used to be good, but got worse and worse over the last few years, as did the Northam. Something needed to change as the atmosphere in general has been pretty shocking for a while. I'm now in the Northam, block 44 and I'd say it's been mixed. Really good at times but crap at others. Agree about too many people not singing. And also the cheap nature of the safe standing. And different areas singing different songs. But I also think it's really hard to judge this season as we've been so pathetically poor. 1 win, 7 goals and most games we've not even been competitive and barely looked like scoring. Think we've only scored twice in front of the Northam?! I'm generally very vocal, but even I can't be bothered most of the time atm. When it's properly got going it's been good. In conclusion so far I'd say it's no worse than the last few years, but probably not much better either. But has potential. We just need something to feel positive about and get behind. Not likely any time soon!

Coming away from the game yesterday, me and my brother were reminiscing about when we beat Sunderland 8-0 and the players we had. We were saying just that, it was only just over 9 years ago but it feels a like a lifetime.

THB, Janny B and KWP This club has been an utter embarrassment over the past six years really, just going from one low point to another. Even last season in the Championship we lost 5-0 twice. Three of our last four home games we've conceded five goals. Every time you think it can't get any worse, it does. 1 win in our last 33 Premier League games...

Some interesting snippets of Juric from Craven Cottage today https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/clygjz9y4zlt#Southampton

Our own Traore missed a penalty in the shootout.

Juric seems like a very reasonable appointment to me. Has a very decent record with several smaller clubs in Italy, punching above their weight. I wouldn't judge him on his short time at Roma. But for those that will... He only managed 8 league games and took 10 points. In their other 8 games either side of his tenure they have taken 6 points. They are closer to the relegation zone now than when he left.

Yep, basically cheering at us gifting them possession time and time again. I'm not defending him as such, he had to go. But if it was Russ overseeing that performance up to Archer's goal, he'd have been slated on here.

Some people are so desperate to hate on Martin. That first half was as bad and as dull as anything we've seen this season. We offered nothing in attack up until Archer's goal. After that we at least had a bit of a go and could have found an equaliser. Can't question the players for their effort but we are so short of quality at the top end of the pitch.

I'd be pretty happy with Rohl, probably about the best we can hope for atm As for his song, gotta be Daddy Cool

Also down to 10 men against Leicester, and 9 at Old Trafford with a bunch of kids playing.

Exactly how I feel. Grateful for last season and some great memories, sad that it's ended like this. But he had to go. No idea who we get in next, but I wouldn't be expecting much to improve.

Loads of them on here.

Nathan Wood. Thought he was decent again.

The game that famously cup-tied David Brooks.

Like when we brought in Nathan Jones?

Viva Onuachu Viva Onuachu Viva Onuachu He's got a massive cock He tucks it in his sock Viva Onuachu

I disagree. Most of our players are Championship standard.

I like Russ, he gave us a really enjoyable season last year and probably my best day out as a Saints fan at Wembley. I also like stability and really wanted it to work out for him in the PL, but I've reluctantly voted yes, mainly because of our complete lack of attacking intent/threat in recent games. That said, our problems are much bigger than the manager. We have the weakest squad in the PL and I really don't see anyone coming in and making much of a difference. So new guy comes in, and after another 10-15 games of crap results fans are calling for his head again, and the cycle repeats.

Congrats THB! Thought he had a shaky start to the season but has been much improved in recent games. Hopefully this will do his confidence the world of good.

When I saw the Echo headline of complaints about ticket prices, I thought they must be £40 or something. £30 for a quarter final against Liverpool seems about right to me.
