Love it as I was listening to it live.

I looked at a stat on how many of our shots in the last two years have been blocked by defenders Staggered to read 84% of our shots hit the first defender, 40% more than any team. Then you think unlucky or do we shoot at them standing in front of them? Why can’t they do a shimmy or something to make an opening. Stuart Armstrong used too while Adam always hits the first defender every bloody time.

Can we have our ball back please? Seriously you get a break eventually and you see Arsenal running back in a panic and then we turn the back back which ends up with the keeper who hoofs it. I’m sorry but that’s shit football.

Brilliant team news. Instead of trying to score a goal and sitting back to hold that lead we are going to defend from the first minute to hold the draw. Ha ha he’s a genius.

Wow how the mighty have fallen. We are a shadow of what we are used to be. We might win but fucking hell it’s embarrassing football.

I actually fear for us this season because we lack leadership from the very top. So many of us know the problem but the board won’t do nothing about it. A frustrating slow death until Ralph gets pushed.

He also set us up to not concede a goal and has fails miserable. Would love it if we just once went for it to try and win 4-3 or something. To do this you don’t sit on a one nil lead by putting on a number of defensive players.

I totally disagree with you for once. I think we have a good squad but they are not managed properly in training plus on match day. Confidence is everything in sport and right now our guys have hit rock bottom. Get someone in that believes in the players and get them playing to their strengths. He will have them winning games in no time. PS JWP, KWP, Armstrong & Adams are a shadow of what they have been for Saints and these 4 players NEED a new manager to kick start them again.

How on earth can you guys want us to win this if it means we stick with clueless Ralph. I honestly think if we get battered he has to leave first thing in the morning. Getting a decent manager in will bring us back our great days again. A draw Wednesday and the club will eventually get relegated as it will be a slow painful death with Ralph drawing the odd game till January in which we will be 8 points adrift.

Eric Black?

Not as bad as I thought regarding Ralph. i would give him until Xmas so he can leave his legacy as the worse fucking manager that’s ever been in charge of Southampton Football Club. Is that possible or was someone worse than him?

Second half was fucking embarrassing. Two tactics, run with it and hope to beat 6 players or pump it into West Ham’s half and reorganise for the next attack. Please sack Ralph ASAP please.

Now that I can post again. Regarding Eddie Howe back in October. I will maintain something was going to happen but a couple of things occurred. We won 2 two and drew one which might of made it stupid sacking Ralph plus Newcastle might of approached Eddie instead. One day the truth will come out when he writes his book, who knows but I reckon a few other posters on here heard about the Howe being offered the job at Saints. As for Jones it was rather random don’t you think when I mentioned it at the start of the season as Luton were at the bottom of the league at the time. Now he’s going great guns again Saints might be interested or perhaps waiting in the wings.

Sorry the club. I personally wouldn’t want him as I don’t think he’s good enough and I laughed when I was told in the summer. But looking at his results in the last couple of years he has done bloody well.

Watch this space with Nathan Jones. Wanted him in the summer but he wasn’t ready.

If not Sunday then it’s a matter of time before we will.

Going one better as I’m going out with the wife for the day as I cant bear the thought of watching it live which gets me angry, or at home as I sulk because of another shit result. I can honestly write the match report but I can leave gaps for the opposition scorers. I even know what Ralph is going to say afterwards in the press….! ’We tried to contain them and we could of won it if we put away some of our chances. On to the next game as we will try to put it right.’

We will 100% lose this because the likes of Wolves, *Villa and Everton who are utter shit have beaten us already. *I said Leicester when I meant to say Villa. West Ham are picking up a bit of form plus they always get the better of us. Ralph will make another 4/5 changes to try and stop West Ham scoring which will fail once again leaving us chasing the game. Please, please let this be Ralph’s last game so we can start planning a new manager who will sort out this mess.

I know who you are talking about. Not the one mentioned above. Had ginger hair, name totally escapes me. Had to edit and add the names as I have done 3 posts. Scott McDonald, Caleb Watts and Robbie Slater. I was thinking of Scott McDonald.

Cosimo Sarli, thought he was going to be the bees knees plus another Ryan Seager.

We would need to buy another 3 right backs if he came in.

What I don’t get is we played okay against Everton but he made 4 changes to the City game, No stability! It was purely a containing job with no ambition to try and get a goal. Seriously one touch in the City box in 90 minutes is truly shit and I feel for every fan that went in support of the team. Hoping he’s sacked today so the new man can start first thing Monday and get the players ready for two winnable games out of the next three matches. RALPH IMHO will lose those two and probably get a draw if we’re lucky.

I’ve got a strong feeling that we’re are going to lose today, just don’t think the team are there yet.
