    I don't agree with them, but there are a few 'fans' on Twitter who have been saying for the last couple of weeks that Ralph needs to go.

    Dishwasher Update (yes it's come to that again):

    Emptied with 8 seconds to spare - even had time to put in the tea bag and get the milk out of the fridge.

    3-1 it seems if the dishwasher gods work. If not 4-0 loss.

    My prediction of the game:

    a) Tom mindlessly defending terrible referees/laws
    b) Everyone mindlessly bullying Tom for defending referees
    c) Half the forum saying another 3-0 loss and 7th loss in a row is awful and the end of the world
    d) The other half saying posters of c} are awful supporters
    e) The posters of c} saying the posters of d} are just accepting mediocrity and not daring to challenge Ralph
    f) If we lose - blame the thread poster and spoon boy and VAR
    g) if we win - celebrate the thread poster and watch MoTD

    Your use of the quotation marks is precisely correct. Any genuine Saints fan should know that we are extremely lucky to have Ralph. He isn’t perfect, but he is better than any potential replacement could possibly be. We have been doubly cursed in recent games by injuries to key players and terrible refereeing decisions, and once we are back to full strength I am confident our form from earlier in the season will return.

    Until then, we need to dig deep and scrap for points. The one thing Ralph needs to instil in the squad is the determination to keep going to the end of the match, to try and get another goal and keep the opposition out, regardless of the score, regardless of the referee, or VAR, or the weather, or anything else.

    I don't necessarily agree that those who are questioning Ralph or even want him sacked (if there are any) aren't 'real' fans.

    We just have to accept that some people know bugger all about football and have very short memories! Doesn't mean they aren't a fan of Saints like any of us on here.

    Absolutely. I can't really add anything more.

    ****. Armstrong out - I thought we would lose before tbf but this really doesn't help. Looks like it is 5 at the back then.

    Other than no Armstrong (I wasn't aware he was injured), that's essentially what I was expecting.

    The Minamino loan signing is proving to be a very good move!

    Hmm, I wonder who drew the short straw to play RB?...or will it be 5-3-2 with Djenepo at RWB

    Stuey missing is a huge blow, why is it always our in form players that get crocked?

    Jankewitz still alive and kicking. Just have to make sure he knows the difference between round, rolly object and body part.

    Jankewitz to redeem himself by coming off the bench to get the winner?
