Match Day Thread West Ham United vs Southampton 31/03/2018 3:00PM KO

Average players, replaced by more average players. No confidence or belief. And a Manager sacked 10 games to late. Has been one mistake after the other by the board over the past 18 months.

 

It was clear from the early games that he was clueless. When he wasn't sacked after the Leicester drubbing I could see this day coming. The shame is that it was all so avoidable.

 

What are you on about? I am saying the change in manager came too late. There is no fixing this ****. The players look like they either don't care or have no confidence at all. Pellegrino was the guy that turned a top 8 team into a bottom 3. Giving a new manager 8 games to turn it around after playing **** for 90% of the games isn't going to change anything.

 

Just imagine what it'll be in two weeks time, after we've played Arsenal and Chelsea.

 

Yep, not sacking him months ago was a worse decision.

 

Tear Les Reed a new one at the next home game. WH clearly proving fan unrest and abuse is the way forward.

We are Saints and will actually drift into the championship with a wimper.

 

And the person most at fault for it all being so avoidable, will still be here next season.

So to the people who are looking forward to the Championship and seemingly expecting the wins to come rushing back, be careful what you wish for. The Championship is a tough division. And Les will still be making the decisions.

 

Right .

Fateletiss and Archers road get the socks off now .

 

It's probably too late for this game (understatement) and probably too late for PL survival now. But more than anything I'm ****ing fed up of watching Saints players putting in half arsed performances. For me, McQueen comes in for Bertrand. Pied for Cedric. Romeu for Lemina. JWP for Redmond. Sims for Tadic. Maybe even Long for Gabbi. They may be technically inferior players but at least they'll actually put some ****ing effort in. Shameful. We'll be the most avoidable relegation in PL history. That sentence makes no sense but hopefully you know what I mean.

 

Weirdly I haven’t given up hope. No idea why.

 

I'm off to water my rhubarb

That was just every kind of terrible

 

I’m a bit gutted my daughter sorted out her NBC sports subscription for me. She just texted me to say is it working ok, and was going to call DirecTV when I told her it was ****.

 

On this match, or the season? Or both?

 

Both. I mean it’s blind hope, I realise that.

 

That’s how they have a 100% record, they take them off at half time.

 

I've given up on this match but not the season.

 

Won't happen. We Saints fans are the most English of English. Protesting is too grotesque. We prefer to grumble, tut and complain endlessly from the safety of our online forums

 

How are the drugs?
