    Even two down, I wouldn't. Get one back, and you never know.

    It would have to be three or four. And then, I'd be all for it.

    I agree. I’d actually be quite impressed if there was a protest outside reception of St Mary’s for 2 hours after the game. Keep Les pinned in the ground; make him get the police to clear the fans or have to leave the stadium with them outside so he feels their wrath. Boo or stop backing the team during the game just will put more nails in our relegation coffin. The fans need to think about that. Their actions could effect the players mentality for the next games, not just that one game.

    Sadly, I don’t expect them to realise that.

    That might happen if protests against the board start.

    It's not really a manager protest though.

    I don't know what we've done, but someone really hates us right now. It's just nail after nail at the moment.

    I just think we need to have the players knowing the fans are behind them. We can’t afford them to come timid in our next home games. You know how some fans are at football, they lose their **** and they’d end up having a barney with the players - like the other week.

    Protest against the manager outside reception.

    Any protest should naturally be aimed at the Board.
    They are the people that have made the disaterous decisions that have turned us from an established top 8 team into relegation fodder.
    I don't blame Pellegrino for grasping this big opportunity for his career, but the simple fact is that he should never have been given it in the first place, he simply hasn't had enough experience to jump straight into a PL manager's position and it is proving to be a step too far, too early for him.
    The Board can make amends, but only by acting swiftly and getting a capable Manager in to guide the players through the massive remaining fixtures of this season.

    Oh I agree but the fans are barely behind them anyway, at home at least.

    Like I say if we're getting tonked then ten minutes of 'pellegrino out' chants aren't going to negatively impact the result, especially if they stick with them for the previous 80.

    I take your point about the next game, but if it forces the boards hand then it could be a huge positive impact for the run in.

    I see both sides tbh and there's probably no real 'right' answer so to speak.

    If we want the players to fight, we the fans need to too. We are where we are, nobody's happy about it, but the only way we as fans can help our team get the points we need to stay in this league is to sing our hearts out like we're in the final at Wembley. Keep the groans to ourselves until the match is finished. Sing loud and proud, when we score and when we concede. We may be **** right now, but this is still our club and we should do all we can to make a difference.

    I’d have no problem with that ten minutes if I had any confidence that some idiot wouldn’t start on a player.

    I agree that no protest should occur during the match and the team should get 100% passionate backing from the fans if they (the fans) really care about the club.

    I have to face a Liverpool supporting colleague at work tomorrow. Proper gobby little sod at the best of times, he is.


    It gets worse. At the beginning of the summer I gave him a tenner at 6/1 against Saints getting relegated. And £25 at evens, Liverpool would not finish in the first 3.
