I love Jimmy Case but I doubt he’s up for the job now.

Don’t be sorry as the bottom line is he has been paid well by the club and they have stuck by him through thick and thin. Deep down Ralph knows he has failed and now its time for someone else too have a go.

I’m trying to understand Forest transfer activity this season. Was it Cooper demanding 25 players or was it done above his head? Nobody should buy three lefts back in one transfer window, very stupid indeed!

Wow your certainly in the loop with the Saints news. Selles is the ex female tennis player right?

And if we beat them Saturday then what? I know I was kidding!

What are the odds for Saints winning 7-0 as it must be worth a little flutter?

If they don’t sack him then the only way to force the clubs hand is not to attend the next home game. A gate of only 12,000 will make them take drastic action. PS I’ve actually never know a clubs fans to actual boycott a match other than the odd 1,000 staying outside to protest.

Worst PL win rates (EVER) Managers with 300+ games Steve Bruce 27% Tony Pulis 30% Joe Kinnear 32% Alan Curbishley 32% Mark Hughes 33% Sam Allardyce 34% Source: Opta Currently our Ralph 22% in the last 67 games. Looks like we are going for another record to add to the most double names!! Seriously Ralph all the shit around us in the league have beaten us and you won’t walk so it’s time to be SACKED!

Fuck me get him in the squad. Our current team would of hit row Z from there!

As in ‘that’s bolloxs’ as football should be 3.00pm on a Saturday as it makes it a great day for the fans with the build up and a good drink afterwards. Shame the 90 minutes in the middle spoils it

That’s bolloxs.

Some comments from Ralph’s presser this afternoon. ‘Everton is a great team and we must set us up to stop them.’ ‘The new signings will only start when they know how I want them to play.’ ‘We are hoping our strikers can carry on with there great scoring form.’ ’I must find a place in the team for Adam (Armstrong) Diallo and Elyounoussi as they have been helping me set up the training this week.’ ‘Do I fear the sack? Not at all as it would be the best retirement gift ever.’

Sibley going back to Surrey, how many good batsmen do they have?

Fucking embarrassing with 7 wickets down. These batting collapses have certainly costs us a title this year.

Certainly need someone to build an innings for us. Those at the bottom have the same batting points as us which tells you the problem. Surrey 48 points is staggering compared to our 34 I think.

Maybe we should target the two players you mentioned at City and Chelsea. After all that’s our style at the moment which is exciting.

When you talk about trains more than the team news then it says it all. Expect Ralph’s usual boys to play and I just hope he thinks about what we can do this Saturday rather than what Everton might do to us.

We are doing okay? Blimey Ralph probably has one of the worst managerial records for Saints in the last 15 years and he’s doing okay? IMHO I expect a little more than what he is doing right now and if he can’t do that then I suggest we get someone in who can.

Can’t remember the last time Vince put a good batting shift in. If only he can score 20 then he just might go onto a century. Prediction all out 161 and Surrey champions this evening.

We have to bat again the same time as yesterday. Oh dear that’s not going to end well is it? If we could get through to close at 85-1 then we have a chance, 3 down and we are doomed.

Yes it’s all looking a bit too easy at the moment and I think yesterday in 2 hours we blew our championship chances.

Problem we have is we are more than likely to be batting from 3.00pm again where the wicket becomes skiddy. Can’t see us scoring 200 runs or even surviving. Those with tickets for Thursday have no chance of play I’m afraid plus our groundsman should be shot for producing that wicket!

Ralph’s biggest problem is he’s obsessed with stopping the opposition scoring. He would mess our own team up just to counter a dangerous player on one of our flanks. Armstrong had a cracking game vs Wolves when he came on and he should of started right midfield to work with KWP. Dejenpo should of been left midfield where he has been at his best this season. Putting him on the right side and adding Armstrong there became congested. Ralph just can’t do the simple things anymore!

That surname rolls off the tongue!

Important 4 days for Hampshire as they take on Kent at the Ageas. Abbots back which is good but we lose Dawson to England duties. Surrey no doubt will get maxium points as they welcome back Foakes and Pope while the struggling Yorkshire lose Brooks to England.
