Bunch of fucking twats. Hate this manager and this club.  
 

Fucking embarrassing to support these fucking idiots.

Do yourself a favour then

[Saint_clark]

Na na na na, na na na na, na na na...54%, oh percent, 54%.

[Mr X]

You just know Martin will defend his tactics and style till the bitter end even when we finish with the record low points tally in the Premier league 

[AlexLaw76]

The constant need for the keep to pass it into CM is fucking hilarious. We just keep giving the ball away.

[Saint_clark]

Fans finally taking the piss with the "oles" and chanting "we've got the ball" while we pass it around pointlessly.

We need a brave man from the leadership to come down and relieve Martin of his duties mid-game, Band of Brothers style...

WE NEED RONALD SPEARS!

[BotleySaint]

Thanks ref! Stopped their break

[LiberalCommunist]

 He shouldn’t be sacked he should resign  

 

This is atrocious

[gecko]

Couple of James Bree thunderbolts and we're right back in this.

Needed to happen much earlier. But I ain’t going to criticise our fans. Martin and Rasmus are unemployable. 

[AlexLaw76]

They hit the woodwork again

 

LOLZ

[Harry_SFC]

They are letting us off the hook a bit here. Should be about 8-1.

[Saint NL]

Woodwork 3 times now?

[OttawaSaint]

One of the worst things is that this is not surprising at all. Most of us ask saw this coming a mile away. 

There's no way, given the investment we made, to not get embarrassed like this by playing such a ludicrously suicidal way. 

A bit of pragmatism. Play it simple, keep it tight we might have stood a chance  but this...is just stupidity.

It's not brave, it's not clever, just moronic.

Things could have been so different quite easily if he had been willing to adapt and take some criticism on board and learn from it that's what's so frustrating... We could have easily had ten more points 

[CB Fry]

We've still got Russell's inexplicable substitutions to look forward to.

[obelisk]

Chelsea miss another sitter. Martin surely can't survive after this shambles.

[AlexLaw76]

What a miss

LOLOL...how shit are they!!! 😞

[BotleySaint]

10 mins gone it could be 6 already. Chelsea very wasteful!

[Saint NL]

Fucking hell. Chelsea should have had about 8 

[OttawaSaint]

We're lucky that Chelsea are gash at finishing. 

[Baird of the land]

Chelsea desperate to keep it looking respectable for Martin

[trousers]

Great tackle from our "4th choice left back"

His team concede goals by the bucket load, it was a car crash waiting to happen to expect it to work in the premier league when it didn't work in the championship

[Suhari]

They should have 7 by now.

[Saint NL]

Lumley with the classic Bazunu move of parrying the ball back to the penalty spot

We will be down to 10 men probably within 30 minutes due to hard but fair tackles giving the obviously biased ref a chance to issue red.

Didn't envisage hair pulling. Big girls both of them.

[OttawaSaint]

Russ probably had no friends. They all ditched him when he let the bicycle racing team down by trying to be brave by throwing away his bike chain.

[AlexLaw76]

LOL

the state of passing it out there.....

[CB Fry]

Just imagine that there is a Saints fan watching Chelsea smashing the bar and missing open goals who in the coming days will write a post on here about how unlucky we've been all season.

Do do do, suicidal football, do do do...

Great tackle by Manning

Considering how much Rasmus loves his ‘data’, it was fucking obvious. Nearly 2 a game last season with an international back 4 even if the keeper was Conference level.

[Saint NL]

BBD coming on. 

Sooooo, down to nine men?

[trousers]

Should be 2-3 !

[adrian lord]

Should be 2-3

[OttawaSaint]

The giveaways continue...

[OttawaSaint]

Sitter missed. 

[Saint_clark]

That should be a penalty, it would be given against us.

[BotleySaint]

Fernandes is class. Should fetch a decent price when we go down.

[Saint NL]

How have we not scored there?

[skintsaint]

 Chelsea's current xG of 3.39 is their most in a Premier League match this season

 

So ruddy bloody brave.

He does math different! Brave math!

Saints look ok when moving the ball forward quickly. Should be 2-3.

Russ is so bad that I'm convinced that if he set the team up to lose we'd probably win comfortably.
