Ralph sacked as Saints manager

Ok but have you seen the table? It doesn't lie.

 

It's also very, very close.

 

It's much more about how the team is playing than the table or the results for me. We are not progressing in our football the way I thought that we might at the start of the season and have become a little dull and frustrating to watch in the main.

 

I see plenty of signs of progress this season, which will hopefully turn into results soon. Two tough PL games before the break, but I don’t think either result is a foregone conclusion.

 

Talking with my Geordie neighbour this morning and he thinks Toon might just scrape it.
Not sure how much he has seen of us, in recent weeks.

 

Thanks for making those points to which can be added the first choice injury list.
PS. Arse just scored their 5th v NF.

 

£60m spent and we are 1 point from the bottom 3, we are very very close to being relegated.

 

Arsenal 5-0 up against Forest, we drew 1-1 with them. Go figure.

 

Still think Ralph needs to go, but I think we may been the Toon.

 

No, we are close to being in the bottom 3 in November. I accept that isn't good enough but unless anyone has a crystal ball, who knows what will happen between now and May.

 

No we aren't.

 

They might just run rings round us, I’m attuned to that possibility. But I’m not ready to concede defeat either.

 

£60 mill notwithstanding, there aren’t many clubs who’ve consistently spent less than us the last few summers.

 

Well, let’s hope it’s still close by the time we have our WC break.

 

Be quite hard for it not to be as there’s only 2 games between now and then

 

Great argument, keep your head in the sand mate.

 

It's hardly relevant now though is it?

 

If you include our form from last season, yes.

 

Yep, I can clearly see a backwards progress
