Newcastle 3 Saints 0 - Post Match

[BigShadow]

MP might be at the helm - and should be sacked - but that was absolutely gutless from the players. Body language and effort was poor from the start.

 

Our only remaining hope to to change the manager. Surely Les & Co can see that.

[redkeith]

Totally leaderless, on and off the pitch.

 

We have had it if we don't sack him by Monday.

 

We should have gone for the Fulham manager, who is a perfect fit, in playing style and promoting young players. Now he is going to go past us, and probably take Matt Targett with him.

[Ajv2809]

Useless. Maybe it’s too late, but something has to change. He’s gotta go if we are to have any hope of staying up.

[Katalinic]

Reed, Krueger, Pellegrino not fit for purpose. A number of the players not fit to wear the shirt.

[Disco Stu]

Just about to stat a new job which will mean I can no longer attend matches. Couldn't be more well timed.

[Toomer]

The useless corned beef should walk and take the useless corned beef he paid over the odds for with him.

[Travelling Saint]

He must go now, mustn't he? Of course he won't.

Absolutely abysmal today.

Why does redmond play the whole game when he offers nothing?

Why bring on Long instead of Gabbi?

[Jonnyboy]

Is it possible for both Stoke and Crystal Palace to lose every match for the rest of the season?

 

Nope. They play each other on 5th May.

We are down.

[alpine_saint]

I wonder if we'll get to single digits this season.

 

I got a single digit for Krueger....

[stknowle]

Think most are feeling that. Hope has gone

 

Yep, and it's bizarre self-inflicted hopelessness. Just so, so weird.

[DT]

Any Russian KGB agents watching, we need supplies

[OttawaSaint]

Just watched all the other goals from today. My goodness, other teams are so quick and incisive and full of guile and creativity. Makes us look so bad.

[Victor]

Is it possible for both Stoke and Crystal Palace to lose every match for the rest of the season?

 

No - they still have to play each other!

[alpine_saint]

The only positive.....we surely won't be playing pompey next season

 

Really, this bellyaching kinky obsession with the bunch of non-entities at the other end of the M27 must stop

[Crab Lungs]

Pellegrino, Wilson, Reed, Krueger, Kat, Mr Gao.... GO F()CK YOURSELVES.

 

This whole mess has been totally avoidable for months. Well done for undoing the hard work of so many good people.

The team reflects the manager.

[Halo Stickman]

There's really f uck all anyone can say after a performance like that.

[Saint Albert]

If you want a measuring stick of just how bad today’s performance was, one of the first stats that the commentators spewed out before the game started is that Newcastle had scored 12 PL goals at home all season before this game.

[Wiggles31]

Well surely this clown is going now. Tactically awful yet again. Any manager in place in the next 3-4 days. Even that may be too late but with Coco we are finished.

[hypochondriac]

Not worth discussing. I didn't watch the game but have heard it was exactly the same as normal. Nothing will change till he leaves.

[doddisalegend]

Hoj ****ing legend LoL "we need to show Bollix"

[obelisk]

PEH sounding pretty ****ed off.

[angelman]

Sack manager tonight. £2m bonus for anyone who can keep us up. Must be able to start Monday.

I'll do it for 2 mil

[davefizzy14]

Loved Pierres interview. Top guy who cares.

[Pamplemousse]

All talk, no action. The time for words is over.

[Cabrone]

Another game MP won't have to 'fret' over about winning.

 

[miserableoldgit]

Has the Master done his interview yet?

[shurlock]

Loved Pierres interview. Top guy who cares.

 

Talk's cheap. Id rather he'd closed down Shelvey or marked Richie for their third.

[whelk]

Talk's cheap. Id rather he'd closed down Shelvey or marked Richie for their third.

 

Exactly

[S-Clarke]

Pieree is a great talker, says all the right things and seems to have the right attitude but his product on the pitch ever since he's joined us has been absolutley dog****e.

 

He's had long enough to get used to this league now.

[davefizzy14]

Talk's cheap. Id rather he'd closed down Shelvey or marked Richie for their third.

 

He knows he could have done better as per what he said to Adam Blackmore.

[Saint86]

PEH's interview on solent at least is worth something.

 

"We need to be a side that is difficult to beat. Of course we cannot beat everyone, we would like to, but we cannot be easy to beat. We cannot get overrun 3-0 by Newcastle, its just not possible."

 

Also alluded extensively to tempers and strong words in the dressing room. Fair play for coming out and fronting up.

Played some of his best football after a run of games this season tbf, Chopping and changing the team seemingly EVERY week helps no one imo!

This is the galling thing. After so many good years it felt like we were on the crest of a wave at the start of last season. We had a dip last year but it could have been just that - a blip - but the board have made it the beginning of the end.

[lordswoodsaints]

Sack manager tonight. £2m bonus for anyone who can keep us up. Must be able to start Monday.

Hahaha 2m is peanuts, no decent manager will come for that, minimum will be 5-6m, plus the payoff to pellegrino plus the pay for the new fella, you will be talking £12m minimum.

They just don’t have the stomach to spend the money I’m afraid.

Hope I’m wrong but I doubt I am.

[Dellman]

He has been puushed out, brought in and pushed out like a yoyo. He is still very young and if he was in a team which played together regularly and didn't chop and change every week, we would see the best of him----same applies to others

[davefizzy14]

Yep and then gets dropped soon after from the bloody cmanager! How can you get any consistently when this clown keeps dropping You!

[Pamplemousse]

A large enough bonus for keeping us up plus winning the FA Cup should be enough to entice someone good enough to keep us up.

[mrfahaji]

On Final Score, Dion Dublin just referred to Pellegrino saying that relegation was "a nice challenge" for us. Has he actually said that? Jesus christ.

 

Dublin also said "Southampton are a nice club, there's no room for being nice". Quite.

[St_Tel49]

‪West Ham fans force their owners to leave the directors box before the final whistle in pitchside demo? Hmm food for thought though not sure #saintsfc fans would go down that path. Mind you these are desperate days‬ and if the Board won’t listen......

 

Is it conceivable that West Ham could get a points deduction for that blatant breach of security (not enough stewards or police). I ask, not because of any benefit to us, but because I would not want to see any protests on our part go down the same road. Yes I want him out but I do not want to see any pitch invasions

[Crab Lungs]

First it was Eric Black who they tried to scapegoat.

 

In January it was van Dijks fault.

 

Bottlejob management and leadership.

I’d rather he played than Carrillo.

He said something similar a few weeks back, about how it's exciting being in this battle.

 

It's such a weird situation, we're acting like a club who have just been promoted and are still in with a shout. What on earth are the club seeing that we're not.

Wise up. I know youre frustrated but PEH was doing very well for us earlier in the season and has arguably been one of our best players. MP took him out whenever he had a good run going. No wonder hes ****ed

Doubt it. I think the worse that will happen is a fine for failing to control the crowd and maybe if the FA are feeling quite strong, a behind closed doors game. But I can't see any points being deducted, the PL/FA try to avoid that.

They spent more on Carrillo.

I don't think he's a bad player, but let's not make out he's the messiah, yeah I agree he was chopped and changed a lot (not just by MP either)...but he never really delivered what we need. I know fans will love him because he talks the talk, but he kind of sums up the state of our midfield. Nice, sideways, tippy tappy, no punch.

[nmp]

To a point yes - but they have had the life and enthusiasm sucked out of them for months by the clueless tactics and ineptitude of this clown of a manager who if (as I have been saying since November last year) had been sacked, could have been replaced by someone who could have got them motivated and playing to their potential.

 

Again, as I have said before - refusing to sell VVD to Liverpool and then doing it anyway caused so much trouble and distraction that by 'winning' the moral victory all Reed and Kruger actually did was throw away our ability to stop the rot early and bring on a slide in form and motivation that resulted in no-one wanting to come here, when we eventually got the transfer money!

 

Now we are down to hoping that there are 3 teams that do worse than us from now until the end of the season - whatever the case MP has to go because my grandmother could do better than him - and she's dead!
