...what? What the hell were you watching? Nkunku swung his leg through Mannings to get to the ball.

Manning’s right foot caught the back of Nkunku’s right heel as he went to kick the ball and they both collapse in a heap. I’m sorry but I don’t see anything in that.

[AlexLaw76]

Classic Russell Martin

Amazing anyone thought it would be any different.

Looked offside. Meh

Get a few more Chelsea try and get him sacked please.

Why would that get him sacked? He's already said his job is safe

Conversely, we are not

[obelisk]

Attacking free kick to Saints. It's played short and then backwards until Chelsea nick it before racing away to make it 5-1. Totally Russball.

[CB Fry]

There's still time.

[OttawaSaint]

Surely that guy on the far side interfered with Lumley's vision.

I'm joking.

Manning was arguing the point with the ref for a long time, but it wasn't even mentioned on the comms.

Not like there wasn’t a massive break for subs that they could have had at least one look at it. 

[The Kraken]

We want 6 (six).

Nowhere near offside. Edwards playing him on.

[Suhari]

Oh. They did another one.

Shock and shame.

Completely forgotten he had come on.

It's insights like this that we just couldn't get anywhere else.

Definitely. With stoppage time also they could still get 7 or 8.

I'd actually take a hammering if it gets that prick out of our club

[tdmickey3]

Score flattering for us, should have been 10

Not even a VAR check. FFS.

It’s irrelevant in the scheme of things and the officials.

SFC needs to respect itself, clean up it’s act, new manager, restructured/owners.

Then once we are respectable we can moan about officials.

[SNSUN]

Russ has been sacked...

 

...from my Profile photo. I now have a kid upset about being given a Saints shirt for Christmas. Apt.

Ronnie Edwards sitting deeper than the rest of the defence who all call for offside. 

He's obviously been training with Jack Stephens.

[Saint NL]

That's 5 goals, 2 posts, 1 crossbar, 3(?) saves, 2 bad misses....

Could be 13 with better finishing 😂

Other teams would angrily surround the ref rather than leaving it to one player to have an amicable chat over a virtual cup of tea. I'm not saying I agree with mobbing the ref but if other teams get an advantage from such 'dark arts' then so should we...

Early look at our first choice centreback pairing for next season.

Been brave though hasn’t it🙄

[ChristopheVAFC]

My courage, my friends, really, SR really needs to make decisions as quickly as possible....

[badgerx16]

Aribo's goal was our last shot on target.

So brave, such great lads, lovely beards, cracking banter.

[Harry_SFC]

Ridiculous how he wasn't sacked after the Bournemouth game. Now it's too late for anyone to turn it around (not that I think they will sack him this season)

If it means Stephens never plays for us again, I’ll take it.

Of the season, probably.

[Saint NL]

What's absolutely amazing is that we haven't scored an OG. We're always good for one or two.

Fernandes in the second half? 

[OttawaSaint]

Probably shouldn't have triple captained Lumley...

[Saint Billy]

Well if RM isn't being sacked the fans should sack the club by none attendance.

[Challenger]

SR, can you change our shirt colour to blue and get us a Matelot mascot ? Can't be any more embarrassing than this.

We are no longer a club people outside of SMS and Staplewood who are respected or worthy of respect. Our players don’t, most of the fed up fans don’t, manager doesn’t care, staff don’t care, owners don’t. Media don’t. So the officials won’t.  

We need gut the club and start again to the point in a few years where we are again. 

[It's There]

I think a lot of our players have played well. Stephen’s sending off was a disaster

 

[LGTL]

Absolutely nailed on we don’t reach Derby’s point total. Sack the cunt!!!!

"He's a beautiful boy" was a particularly weird one.

For the rest of the season.

[AlexLaw76]

we have to be one of, if the not the worst, Premier League side of all time?

[Monk]

Yep that confirms it. 
 

RM has surpassed Redknapp and Nathan Jones in my eyes. 
 

Ironically, for someone that possesses such a clear ‘identity’ & playing style as a coach. He is absolutely useless, no patterns other than goal kicks. No approach play patterns in the opposition half and no plan B. 
 

Poortvliet would’ve got this lot up last season. 

[RedArmy]

Not sure I’ve ever seen a team hit the woodwork this many times in a game. 
 

Chelsea could have hit double figures and they barely got into a canter.

It's weird isn't it. We've just lost 5-1 and there's been a number of half decent performances. 

[SNSUN]

When Jack Stephens was keeping Martin Caceres out the team, I predicted he'd be in the England squad within a year.

Its the confirmation of "(six)" that really illuminates this post

He's let us down massively. Learn from the United game ffs.
