    Same. They now just offer consolation and share mutual experiences of supporting a truly **** team to try and cheer me up. Even a Pompey fan

    Looks like the young French lad is involved in some capacity

    Yeah mockery has turned to pity. Even in the ground it feels like fans are taking the piss and singing about going down less than they were late last year.

    Suspect that'll change today mind <laugh>

    Well if we're never actually going to use ABK, we might as well give his spot on the bench to someone else. Anyone else.

    Yeah don't understand why we've been putting him on the bench every week.

    Right? Give it to a youngster. Or at least anyone who isn't going to be a miserable twat in the dressing room.

    Usually I'd be excited by this, but it wouldn't surprise me if he is shoehorned straight into the starting line-up, probably as wing-back or something, all the while Wood will be ignored again.

    Not sure what Wood has done wrong tbh. He was one of the bright spots during that dire December.

    Chicken and Borlotti Beans with a dry Pink for us
    And we just started watching Slow Horses Season 4. First appearance of Lamb in Ep1 is really LAUGH OUT LOUD funny

    Seems better than a big drive (no trains) through lots of traffic, cold damp walk to SMS, possible thrashing and drag home trying to get over it

    Will be back for next game COYS

    Agreed. The dropping of Wood is on an ever increasing list of issues I have with Juric. But because I have no hopes left for the season, I'm just letting it slide by. I'd be a lot more vocal if we were closer to 17th.

    Tbh if extra time is worth hanging around for I probably will. But against all my years of never leaving early, the last two games I’ve been away on the 90th minute to get an earlier and less miserable bus home!!

    Can anyone see any possible way we get a result here? Really struggling tbh.

    Only possible thing I can think of is that if it was the other way round I'd be convinced that Saints would **** it up.

    An early Bmouth red card maybe? But even then I'd probably still back Bmouth to win.

    With 11 vs 11, I'm expecting a totally one-sided game. I'll go 4-0 to Bmouth, but I wouldn't be shocked if it was bigger.

    My goodness everyone’s so negative in here.

    Nobody has remembered we are on a winning streak, have a new manager bounce, and are playing our fugly cousins from up the road.

    Easiest 3 points of the season incoming.

    I think this will be my first season without watching saints live. I don’t consider myself a fair weather fan but just can’t bear spending £60+ and wasting half a day.

    Today we will smash em though. COYR!

    Yeah I'd still back them with ten men too

    If we turn up and everyone at least puts 100% in I'm hopeful we can keep it to 3-4 and probably score too.

    If we get a Brentford performance then can genuinely see a 6/7.

    This will be quite a test for Juric’s system that has the CBs being dragged to the halfway line in pursuit of the striker they are man marking, in the forlorn hope of winning a ball that isn’t theirs to win.
    And whilst they are chasing shadows the quick, forward passing style of football, played by Bournemouth will take advantage of the gaps in our midfield, created by our midfield players who have dropped into the back line to fill in the gaps left by our errant CBs.
    Clown football - plenty of slapstick moments, without the laughs.
