Dibbling on his way to Spurs ?
at 22:23 27 Jan 2025

B B C suggesting that Spurs have already had talks with Sports Republic to acquire his services.

Possible that we won’t see him in a Saints shirt again ?

Has any other club ever had a worse Premiership record than Saints?
at 17:53 26 Jan 2025

Yesterday the Southampton Echo report of yet another Saints defeat stated that the we have won just one game out of the last thirty six Premiership attempts, spread over two seasons.

Assuming their statistics to be correct I wonder if there has ever been a Premiership team worse than ourselves ?

Given that it’s looking extremely unlikely that we will even equal Derby’s pathetic eleven points relegation total it would indeed be a comfort to learn that at some point in time there was actually a more embarrassing team than us.

Is Ramsdale the keeper he was or is he simply behind an utterly pathetic defence
at 18:33 19 Jan 2025

Beaten today by two shots from way outside the big box and a header from distance, not forgetting letting one through his arms that looked exceptionally fortunate to be ruled out by V A R.

To me he looks a shadow of the keeper he was when he played for Bournemouth/Sheffield Utd and Arsenal although he was of course relegated from the Premiership with his first two clubs.

Whatever happens for the remainder of the season it’s very doubtful he will play for us in The Championship but on his current form it’s looking extremely unlikely that we will recover what we paid for him.

Interesting piece in today’s Guardian as to why we are so woeful.

Well worth a five minute read.

Sorry but I don’t know how to get a link onto here. Perhaps someone more Internet savvy can assist ?

Stuart Attwell showing yet again how inconsistent referees have become.

Spurs v Liverpool yesterday.

Another example of how utterly useless they have become even with help from V A R.

Russell Martin must feel as though he’s won the Euro Lottery
at 19:21 4 Jan 2025

No doubt sat at home tonight laughing his socks off :-

1. I get the sack.

2. I get a shed load of money by way of compensation after having my contract needlessly extended in the summer.

3. My C V is intact because I didn’t manage a Premiership club when they were finally relegated.

4. The club appoint a manager to replace me and the results are as bad if not worse than when I was in charge.

5. I’ve got a very attractive girlfriend.

What’s not to like ?

Anybody still of the opinion that it was all Russell Martin’s fault ?
at 17:26 29 Dec 2024

New manager:- 3 games, 1 point from a possible 9 and only 1 goal scored.

Rather looks to me very similar form to our previous manager’s record.

I’ve said it consistently, the majority of the blame for our current league position lies with our owners and the absolute incompetent doughnuts they employ, who amongst other bizarre decisions, thought it a good idea to extend Armstrong’s contract and purchase cast off Championship and Premiership forwards to assist him.

In truth we were effectively relegated before a ball was kicked with or without Martin or the new manager.
