I would agree but "the Shambles" is a street in York. The difference is that it actually leads somewhere...

Can't defend (ironic when our manager was a defender) and can't score. 

There's only one way we're heading.

I have to say a fair chunk of the blame lies at the Sport Republic door. They overspent in our last PL season, so we couldn't invest as much in the squad this summer, when it was required. Let's be fair, I think we are the worst team on paper in the league and I don't think that any manager keeps this side up, but Russell's pure stubbornness to only have a plan A will get you undone in this league against better teams and managers.

You what?

We have spent a fair whack this summer..

He did not say they didn't spend a lot. He said they were restricted from spending more than they did due to previous spending. There is a difference between those two things.

Wolves last won in the league on the 27th April. They are 2-0 up. How bad must we be…

Heads need to roll all over the place.

At SR, at the club and in the dugout. The owners need to fucking wake up and get real.

Which is fucking lucky for us otherwise we'd have bought even more dogshit players.

[badgerx16]

Our younger son asked why do I watch this if all I do is moan. I told him I have to, as to not do so would be peevish as his older brother is paying for my IPTV subscription.

[OldNick]

2 big calls gone against us , the disallowed goal toady and shirt pull v Leicester. Important turnings in crucial games

[DT]

Regulation home win. I do not trust the process. Don’t care about possession. Time to sack him. Again. 

[Mr X]

One win in eleven 4 points in 33 and this fraud is going to keep his job.... Could only happen at Southampton😂🍷🫰

I would say we have spent plenty.....issue is buying quality not quality, which is heavily compounded with the Manager

Lucy ?

[Sir Ralph]

Has to go now. Sideways and backwards passes not one shot in the second half when we are chasing the game. Inexcusable 

[Sheaf Saint]

Commentator: "It was never going to be straightforward for Wolves today".

Have you not watched any of Saints' games so far this season?

Define silver? Silver is a cognitive construct based on perception, but perception is different for different individuals due to genetic and environmental influences.

The point he made was they could have spent a lot more in 2024/25 if they didn't screw up the transfers in 2022/23.

[ChristopheVAFC]

I'm watching the game and I think that, especially in the 1st half, we had the chance to take the lead but it's a shame we didn't convert our chances...

I feel sorry for your coach Russell but I think we're going to need a major shake-up very soon and I think his days on the Saint's bench are numbered.

Courage, my friends, my heart goes out to you.

[Wiggles31]

This is driving me mad. Fuck off Martin. Fuck off Rasmus and Co.

Dean Thornton booked, complaining about the WWFC pork pies.

Is Big Les actually worse than Shea Charles? We might as well just kept him

I didn't say 'would', I said 'could' and by 'could' I mean under spending limits.

Can you send over a guillotine and half a dozen wicker baskets.  🇫🇷 🪓

Not quite 3-0 as Saints try to tippy-tappy out of defence again.

[badgerx16]

70% possession, 0 shots on target.

Bravery personified.

Should have been 3-0.

More fight from those fairies in the dugout than they've managed to instill on the pitch.

I don't think football existed in the years 23 or 25. 

[FredVaFC59100]

isn't SR the root of the problem at the end of the day ? I look at VA FC and I see the same lethargy to take action to correct the course.

Have you actually watched him today? Utter garbage yet again. But we aren't allowed to criticise him because he's in the "can do no wrong" category. I'm sure you're one of these that thinks Steven Davis was "underrated" as well.

Nothing to do with aimless possession, suicidal defending, and a toothless attack all season?

Under RM this is easily one of the worst teams in Premier League history. Getting to 15 points will be a struggle.

It was a contractual obligation based on the fact he got us promoted. HTH
