Southampton 0-5 Tottenham - Match Thread

[Winnersaint]

Dolphins and Texans on for the second half.

[sfc4prem]

I'm fearful that this could well be double figures... that would be the height of embarrassment right there.

[saintant]

How will Blackmore pussy round this in his after match interview? Sorry Adam but you're going to have to upset Russell.

You won't find a single fan (on here or elsewhere) that believes Martin is the sole reason for what's happening...

Expand  

It has the feel of untenable about it now. I continue to refuse to hate him personally but he is a fucking useless fraud of a football manager and he’s making me wish I wasn’t associated with this football club and team.

Spurs will bring on a few of their younger players from the bench to give some of the starters a rest before their cup match later in the week.

 

Mind you, they will still extend their lead whilst hardly breaking sweat.

I see they've stolen our cunning plan then.

No, I just remember a time when our fans wouldn’t just sit there looking like complete melons and would instead be making their feelings of discontent apparent to the dugout and directors box.

Majority of us that cared enough have been forced out through one route or another. Prem clubs don't want passionate diehards anymore.

[BranfootsLoveChild]

Did I hear right on TV that it's the owner telling Martin to play this way? Can't be right surely?

Oh yeah I hadn't seen Perez scored two.

Oh so not as bad as I thought🥺

What the hell are KWP, Downes, and Aribo doing. It's like they can't be arsed.

I can't even see what he can do to sort this.

He’s on his honeymoon, got married yesterday

[hypochondriac]

I Hooe we sign no players in January. Absolutely no point in wasting money when we are already relegated. Promotion season 2025 starts now. Get Martin out and get a new man in hwo is fit for the job.

Not what she said, she said they hired him because they want to play his style of football.

Something made me smile at least 

[pingpong]

Think rm has given the fans what they asked for, we've been playing high press, and abandoned the possession football, looking for channels instead. 

This is what we asked for, it just shows how incredible a job rm has been doing in the other games for them to be as close as they have been.

I think the board probably forced this on him, and now he has all the ammo needed to guarantee his job to the end of the season...

Thank fuck we didn't have to hear him slurping his cum out of Martin's arse after the game then.

All the arrogant fucker had to do was adapt his ethos a bit and learn when to tippy tappy and when to just clear it but no he wants to go down as the worst manager in premier league history!

1. Some people do. I really can’t be bothered trawling threads trying to find who said what but they’re out there.
2. Yeah they probably are but they’re still the worst (and also stupidly large) collection of players in the division. Will we sack Martin? Hopefully, probably… I don’t care. Nobody was going to keep this lot up, I don’t really care if we finish bottom with 12 or 22 if I’m honest. Just please FFS beat Derby, we don’t deserve that record AND two 9-0s.

[Mr X]

Question are the players still playing for him?

My fear is that Tottenham take their foot off the gas second-half, get no further goals and Saints get two soft goals, enabling a 'Martin survival narrative' to be spun.

It is a deep concern of mine that we spend stupid money on players in January designed to try and keep us up. We did that last time and we got Orsic, Sulemana, Onuachu and Alcaraz, one of which never played, two of which didn't suit any system and were shipped out on loan and one who is just shit despite his speed. We need to be building for the Championship season. This season is over. The rebuild needs to start now.
