Russell Martin
at 10:17 27 Dec 2024

Yesterday showed that this team can play, that it can defend and it can attack, I stuck up for Martin both last season and the first games of this, he should be revered for getting us up last season, but I find myself now despising him for the way he stuck to his own agenda rather than adapting and utilising the players that he had to hand.

I think I despise him more than virtually any manager that has been at this club, off hand I can only think of Branfoot and Redknapp that I hate more, the rest might have failed, but they did so because either they didn't have a squad to work with or they just weren't up to it.

Russell Martin was up to it, he was just too selfish & arrogant and cared more about his tactics than keeping us up.

he would have preferred to go down with 64% possession that stay up with 34 points

5 Things About The West Ham Game
at 10:12 27 Dec 2024

1. I though our support was decent at times, but we haven't got that red wall effect where the Northam keeps going throughout the game, dare i say it we need a group of ultras who just keep singing.

2. I though West Ham's support was poor, both in terms of noise and the fact that they sang some silly songs taunting Saints, no need for that we are not their rivals.

3. The Bedford pub didn't open till 3pm and afterwards only had two beers on tap, a lager and Guiness, it's due to close on 4th January, I doubt that it will last that long, it was empty after the game, after going in there since the 1970's it was a sad sight to see.

4. Spirited performance, sadly i think it is going to be too little too late, Russell Martin left us nothing to build on in terms of results & points

5. Why the hell did we not play Big Les under Russell Martin, most teams have big tall powerful players, we had none if Big Les had been used by Martin we might have picked up a point or two extra, that might have given us a chance now

Ivan Duric & The Blockheads
at 09:25 24 Dec 2024

As someone mentioned in another thread, it sounds like the Croatian pronunciation of Ian Dury who many will remember from the 1970,s

So if we have a song for our new manager perhaps it should be an Ian Dury song, my first suggestion is Sex & Drugs & Rock N Roll

"Saints & Beer & Death Metal Football
It's all my brain & body needs
Saints & Beer & Death metal Football"
It's very good indeed

Previous Premier League Experience As A Manager
at 09:24 21 Dec 2024

In the past 70 years Saints have had 31 permanent managers, some people are bemoaning the lack of previous experience managing in the Premier League for the candidates,

It should be noted that in that period only 7 had previous top flight managerial experience in England

Ball, Souness, Hoddle, Strachan, Redknapp, Burley & Pardew

Whats The Chances Of A New Manager Before The Weekend
at 08:37 17 Dec 2024

Ideally we would have a manager in who would have a couple of days with the squad before his first game, that means getting someone appointed before Thursday

Rohl
at 13:30 16 Dec 2024

There is a bit of a groundswell for Rohl and some on here and other social media sites are saving that Hasenhuttl went downhill after Rohl left but that is wrong.

Rohly was here for the second half of the 2018/19 season, Saints finished 16th on 39 points, the following season a Rohlless Ralph finished 11th on 52 points

If Man Utd stump up the £21m and get Dibling's left foot, do you think he will still get a game for Saints if we keep the rest of him

Lets really show Sport Republic that we mean business, at 7.45 pm on Wednesday for the Liverpool all Saints supporters who really care about the club, should assemble in front of their own TV's to protest about our owners.

Sport Republic when faced with such passion will surely realise that we are a fanbase to be reckoned with.
