A low point today for me was after Stephens made a successful and decent tackle to be fair a guy two rows in front of me started singing “Super, Super Jack……” 🤦🏻 Give me strength

You do when said team barely break sweat in the first half, they treated it like a training session, barely over walking pace for much of it.

Christ almighty, if your aim was to spread positivity you’ve failed, reading that line-up I feel more depressed than before.

That’s what they tried today…..didn’t work out too well did it?

Very good 👊🏻

You do know the circumstances surrounding Wednesday at the moment don’t you?

Stupidly (and as it turned out like Dave Merrington did) I thought with absolutely nothing to lose the Rusk/Lallana combo would put out a team that would give it a real go. Hopes dashed with the teamsheet and 3 central defenders but two up front? At fkin last…..but no……Villa barely had to break sweat first half, it was like a training session. The pissing around at the back and sideways passing reared its ugly head yet again and it was pretty obvious Rusk was looking for a Fulham result and 0-0 scoreline. That was undone by ridiculous subs and Villa scoring, it all went to shit pretty quickly after that. Needless to say Rusk/Lallana blew their first audition if they did have designs on the job full time. All in all a thoroughly depressing 90 mins……well 85 for me.

That’s a bloody ridiculous statement. I’ve been a season ticket holder since 1979 and apart from the Branfoot era I have never been as fed up with watching Saints as I have been this season. It’s got fuck all to do with what league the club are in, the “prem” only supporters don’t tend to become season ticket holders by and large !

"..but the expectations were still there to win every week like it had been in the Championship" I dont buy that for a second, nobody expected us to win every week, not by a long way. And, things definitely were NOT improving, the mistakes were exactly the same, nothing had moved on. I realise he's gonna sugar coat things from his point of view but come on, that Spurs game and a few before it were just shocking.

Need to think about it. Probably dependant on the manager and the type of player we bring in cos I really dont want to watch most of these twats trot around anymore.

Yeah but Lallana is his mate so he’s gonna nominate him all day long. It was interesting to hear him say that Lallana will be fully focused and know exactly what and who he wants. Team selection and tactics might be quite interesting in these last 7 games.

Dave Merrington was manager in August 1995, he was an assistant to Alan Ball before he left. Therefore Danny Rohl who was assistant to Ralph !

If Crook is correct (big IF, I know) that the players basically lost belief in Juric after just two training sessions that underlines what a gutless, pathetic bunch of overpaid twats they really are. Shift the blame off themselves at the first opportunity ! Pathetic.

I think Lallana is nailed on for a coaching role with the U18's next season tbh.

Tend to agree with Steve on TSP - each to their own I suppose. Personally there is no way that group of players are getting clapped by me.

Yeah to a degree I do, he came into a shitshow and was totally left high and dry. Ok he didnt always help himself but fuck me he's hardly the first manager we've had who's trodden that path.

And the fact the players weren’t paid last week. The rot started to set in a few months ago, it’s not on Rohl it’s on the owner if you bother to read what’s happening up there.

Absolutely correct Jo Tessem !

Nope, Captain Jack wants to stay 😔

Club captain Jack Stephens: "The fans deserve that whoever is here gives absolutely everything. "I will be giving absolutely everything to get the club back to the Premier League." Oh that’s just fkin great 🤦‍♂️

Did they really?

Yeah, I thought he’d shine at WBA. He’s been ok but not great.

Not like that’s never happened before 😒

I would lose no sleep whatsoever if a totally different eleven started the first game of next season. Done with the lot of them, the only two I would want to keep will go anyway so that’s irrelevant. The reality is we will be stuck with a load of shite cos nobody in their right minds will want to buy most of this crap…..unless RM gets a job and comes in for all his mates and his amazing human being of a captain.

Yeah, tried to make out he didn’t know how to use a mobile phone properly didn’t he?
