    Not getting my hopes up as RM is like a giant turd that you just can’t flush away.
    Plus, if it was going to happen you would expect to be hearing some rumblings by now from creditable sources that he may gone today, and there isn’t ?

    He's 6/1. He's going nowhere

    Means very little TBH. That simply means the bookies believe the next sacking will be either Lopetegui or O'Neil.

    Exactly. They're seldom wrong. He's here until the end of the season

    I think we will need to break into Staplewood and drag him out at this rate.

    I was hoping to wake up this morning and see at least one creditable rumour that he may be gone today, and there isn’t. Realisation that this Bozo is somehow still going to be in charge against Spurs on Sunday. FFS.
    I really hope that the supporters of this great club will let him and SR know how we feel as Spurs will press the **** out of us, and we ain’t no Chelsea to mount a comeback.

    Pointless going in against Martin. It's SR where the fans need to direct their anger in the stadium. They are 100% responsible for the **** state of our club.

    Problem is I think they have crocodile skin about themselves, whereas you direct anger at Martin’s style of football, they may listen just as they did with the Welsh wizard?

    He really must be unsackable. I am not sure what he would need to do to get removed from his post.

    Nothing mate.

    SR really don't care. As soon as Saints fans realise we're the money generator for Goztepe and that French club (which I can't spell) the better. We've got the worst ever start in PL history. We're bottom of all the leagues in Europe for points per game, and they'll happily allow us to have games without a single shot on target. It doesn't matter to them. As Rasmus said, Goztepe is the bigger club.

    What time do they all rock up for training? Feels like plenty of time still to process his P45 today

    I struggle to think of a bigger bellend in football than Rasmus. And I include Jamie Vardy in that.

    I have 0 expectation he's going today. None.

    He’s not. Let’s get ready for Eat Sleep Repeat, starting with his Groundhog Day press conference, to the, giving the ball to Spurs in our penalty area for spurs to score a tap in, to Bozo’s post match comments saying that the fans have no clue and if it wasn’t for them sarcastically cheering, we would never have conceded, to Bozo then saying that we are so so close and he just doesn’t get how we only have 5 points after 16 games.
    Have I missed anything? :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    He'll be proud of the players for being brave as well

    I think we need to hire Alan Sugar at this point. It's clearly too difficult for our board to say "You're fired".

    Time for pitchforks and blazing torches around St Marys imo.

    I don't think there's anyone out there who would want the job
