I was wearing thin, but my turning point was after 30 or so minutes in the 0-6 home drubbing by Chelsea. Clearly set it up all wrong, but refused to make a change until we were 0-4 down, and it could've been plenty more. The warning was there when they scored once and hit the woodwork three times inside five minutes, but Ralph knows better. That for me was just the icing on the cake. The two 9-0's. Give me all the excuses you want, there is no reason any Premier League team should lose 9-0... Let alone twice. Team selection. Mind blowing starting XI's and bewildering substitutions. Tactical nous. He has none. One style, one plan. If it doesn't work, he's fucked. "No No.1 keeper". What the actual fucking fuck? Who in their right mind thinks this is a good idea? He was adamant McCarthy and Forster would split duties, and almost certainly was leaning towards McCarthy, despite near the entire fanbase calling for Forster to keep his place. Only injury forced his hand, Forster comes in and plays almost exclusively out of his skin, yet they give McCarcrash the new contract!? No wonder Forster wants out, because he knows what's coming. He has it in him to be a top coach, but his decision making process is alarming and his stubbornness has cost him and us in the process. If he was making these mistakes and appeared to learn from them, or at least react to them, fair enough. But he doesn't. His chances with me are used up, as is his time. I want him gone or fear we're a certainty for relegation next season.

Ralph has already said reports him of him retiring next year were a mistranslation.

Would you trust Ralph to have a mass clear out and build a fresh team, judged on the decisions he makes on his starting XI's?

That Richard Kizzbichlicher just looks like a wrongun.

I'm actually starting to believe Ralph is a Pompey fan in disguise.

Totally and utterly deserved. We're a shet joke. In better news, I was this time wise enough to stick some on Palace at 7/1 whilst we were ahead.

Scenes at Vicarage Road.

I'd legitimately sooner see Kelvin Davis upfront over Redmond.

Redmond, Long and Che Adams. We could see it last August. Wreck It is still trying to see the wood for the trees.

Does it every time. Can't hold a ball up for toffee. This time we don't touch the ball until it's between Forster's legs.

Che Adams is a show of shet.

Sauce?

Looks like Tino may have done his knee in again during U21’s 0-3 win in Albania. Won’t go down well after this was said about his selection… theathletic.com/news/livramento-told-southampton-physios-he-was-joining-england-u21s-despite-concerns-over-fitness Nasty landing during attempting tackle(03:26 on highlights), stops to hold it and promptly taken off.

Coming on against City after they've taken a lead is very different to coming on against a City in search of a win. Che doing what he does with missing the easiest chances you can present to him, cost us dearly. Score there, which he absolutely has to, and we're in a totally different game.

Every word of this like it was taken straight from my mouth. Ralph going through another episode of mad decisions. How he can think that combination is a legitimate effort against Man City in an F.A Cup Quarter Final, blows my mind. Pep must've pissed himself when he see it.

Lad has been far from good enough and then shows this attitude? Get gone at the earliest opportunity.

Wreck It Ralph. 💪🏻

Woeful performance all over the shop but I'd be delighted to never see Bednarek in a Saints shirt again.

This.

Ralph doing what Ralph does, but he won't change. Perfect example of why he gets the stick he does from some quarters. Looked like we were past the utterly unfathomable line-ups and risky tactics, as he's played a far more sensible game of late, but how he set us up today was terrible.

The issue with the Alderweireld deal was it had a date to be completed by. They all dragged their heels to allow that date to pass and, surprise surprise, Daniel Levy was behind it all sitting and waiting to swoop. This, at this stage, is a totally different situation. Not least because it doesn’t appear we have an option to buy in the loan deal, as we did with Toby.
