Southampton v Swansea City : FA Cup Match day thread 07:20 - Jan 8 with 21949 viewsModeratorC

FA Cup day for the Swans. Early evening kick off, plenty of tickets gone. Southampton fans complaining about everything as well. From ticket prices to the latest cruise leaving the port.

Sunday afternoon in the FA Cup !

At the end of that game yesterday a couple of the players not all and the manager ventured towards us fans but not too close clapping us as they do some had claps back but there were many who shouted abuse or whatever in their direction....they soon rushed off to the dressing room and safety. Hull was a poor performance....Portsmouth slightly worse but last nights?
If LW has lost the players why doesnt he resign? No chance of that though there is money at stake here.

I’ve got broadly the same mindset as Fireboy. I’ll back a manager unless they are as obviously out of their depth as Bradley and Duff.

Once they make it clear they don’t want to be here, that changes. I’d guess this board was roughly 50/50 split on him before. It’s pretty much unanimous now.

Fans at the ground will follow soon if we keep playing like we are. I’d hope he gets put out of his misery sooner rather than later.


Agree with your comments especially regarding Fireboy. If he falls by the wayside it says a lot.
Our hiring of managers the last 3 or so has been amateurish to say the least. We can’t keep paying out….Martin excepted…..whilst trying to run the club on a shoestring do for Christ’s sake get someone who knows the Championship and who will last longer than a season.

Yes, he should the right thing but he will hang on for a pay off.

Shows the substance of the man.

Rooney, whatever his faults, had the character to leave without expecting a pay off. If Williams has belief in his own ability - and appeal to other clubs - he should offer to do the same.

You can't really compare the financial situation of Rooney and Williams. But I would love him to just go.

Williams was managing in league 2 for a reason,he must of thought it was Christmas
When we turned up,
Cant go quick enough for me

They make us feel indebted For saving us from hell And then they put us through it It's time the bastards fell

Millwall throwing on youngsters and reaping the benefits. Not rocket science is it Luke Williams?

Blog: Are we any better than other supporters ?

In fairness he was managing in League Two because he'd just got promoted from the division below. We'll grant him that.

His record in the division above with Swindon however wasn't good. 75 games, 22 wins, 34 defeats. Relegated and sacked. Not sure why we thought he'd done anything to justify being given the reins of a club the division above that again, other than to be associated with Russell Martin.

If he'd had no previous links with us, would he have been a serious candidate at all given his mediocre track record?

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.
