    If you take Rambo THB KWP Fernandes Dibling and Lesley out of this team it’s suddenly a different story though. Spors has probably got the hardest summer of his career coming up.

    Well, at least we've found our niche in football; we make even the **** teams look like utter world beaters

    We only had THB and KWP from the team that got promoted, sure two of our better performers but I don’t think it would take much to replace them with players good enough to get us in the mix for promotion, even if those players aren’t good enough for the PL

    Sure we could flop next season and be ****e but I don’t see it being relegation level ****e, more like 12th or something. As Tom said the quality in the Championship is poor in the main, we might not be as good as Ipswich or Leicester but we should (on paper) be as good at least as everyone else, even Birmingham and Wrexham.

    I don’t disagree (agree we won’t be relegated) but with morale the way it is I still think we will struggle if Spors et al don’t get it spot on.

    Said it for months that I think people are in for a shock next season. We’re beyond ****. We may beat the record but I can guarantee if this team played that Derby team we’d lose to them too. This is what it looks like when your football club has the soul beaten out of it for the past 10 years.

    Is it part of the pre-match routine at Saints to put the managers head in a microwave?

    Brainless subs seems to be a running theme across all three of ours this season, I get they are working with very little, but 2-0 down in your best remaining fixture and you take off Matteus Fernandes for Will Smallbone?

    If we could keep one player next year, it would be Fernandes. Not happening though.

    Smallbone must have some dodgy pictures of a few people. It’s the only explanation ffs!!

    The main and possibly only consistent aspect of this entire season is the fact that we’ve had 3 managers and not one of them can settle on a style of play or a reliable starting 11. They’ve all changed it all the time and at this point the only possible explanation is that the players are too **** to do any of them. No sarcasm, it is the only option left. I refuse to believe 3 professional managers can struggle this much with a squad unless it’s the players themselves that are the key problem.

    Why not? A XI Saints fans would make a better fist out of it than these absolute ****ing donkeys. Worse ever Saints team, and they just don't give a ****. Keep absolutely any of them and we're just repeating this season. They're lazy and their attitude stinks

    2.0 down and we are just not even putting pressure on the opposition. Unforgivable really

    The more I see of THB the less I think of him as being good enough.
