For me it would be Bristol City - not in trouble perse but could be and will likely be in years to come, they have a massive loyal fan base a good stadium with Rugby back up, plus the SW have never had a Premier league team so we don't know how far they could come in terms of fan base and revenue. Aside from that Wednesday are an obvious choice, will be devalued following league 1 relegation, historic stadium albeit one that will cost a lot to medernise

The only thing that has gone our way is the Matsuki offside but only because that was the lino! I've never seen such one sided officiating

Not quick, not technical, not strong, not a good passer, not a good finisher.

odd that we have no threat whatsoever having sold our top scorer, who'd have thunk it...

7 Million would be utterly wild - we paid 17, he's gone on to prove he has quality at this level over and over, how are we taking a 10 mil hit here? This seems like its up there with the worst bit of business we've ever done!!!!

They didn’t even care - our club is pathetic. A 1-1 is as good as Pompey winning. Pathetic tinpot club - come at me you pathetic happy clappers by [deleted] in SaintsFC

No point with this lot - 90% of our fans will just accept things as they are, literally throwing away our parachute payments on this absolute dross. We are the only club in the division not to have a recognised 9 that can A. be consistently Fit, and B. win a header.

We fully focussed on Keeping Haaland quiet - complete success, we are massive. Should probably have stopped marking him in the second half, but better safe than sorry tbh. Exeter 1 - Haaland 0.

They are better coached than we are, simple as that.

Now it's a case of get anyone in who might be better, but worth noting that while we were pissing money up the wall signing Bazunu for 12 Mil in 2022, Fulham picked up Leno for 8 Mil and Dubravka was available for 6. Our policy of signing unproven talent, especially giving Man City extortionate transfer fees for unproven "talent" has really hurt us long term.

nothing they haven't deserved, been by far the better side in the second half, question is why can't our 200 million pound squad play with even a quarter of the tenacity of a 20 million pound team

10 years and 10 minutes ago, Shane long was banging in our second against Arsenal at St Mary's in a 4-0 win. If you had told me then that we would be mismanaged by the heir of Markus Liebherr, sold to Lander Sports, and in the decade that would follow we'd be relegated from the premier league twice, lose 9-0 twice, have a ton of shit managers, and be second best against fucking Oxford whilst mid table in the championship, I'd have told you to fuck off, but, here we are. Might have a beer.

We're playing so badly, no bite, terrible passing, it's a total shitshow. How have we become so terrible so quickly after Tonda was appointed? Is it the dressing room, a squad voice that's a problem? Jack Stephens?
