Agreed.

I don't normally like to see managers get sacked, but I'd definitely make an exception in Martin's case.

It's a tough call. Yes, I'd like to see him sacked, obviously, BUT it was excellent to see him squirm and suffer after his team capitulated last night.
I'd love to see a few more of those before he departs.
Their next 2 matches are Arse and Man Shitty away, I think. Oh, the squirming could get even worse.

After watching last night and observing their pathetic 'playing out from the back' routine, it will be interesting if Martin persists with that tactic against City and Arsenal.

Can you imagine, the likes of Haaland, Silva, Trossard and Saka etc prowling around that defence and waiting to pounce on the inevitable mistakes from the Championship quality players Southampton have.
:grinning:
 
I remember us playing Martin’s Swansea side a few years ago at ours and it was probably the most mind numbingly boring games I’ve ever seen. I’m glad the prick is being found out that’s all I can say.

I think we won that game one nil but honestly his side spent most of the match passing the ball around for absolutely no reason going absolutely nowhere, just fucking about for the sake of it. Several times they had an opportunity to attack or even have a shot but no, they would pass the fucking thing all the way back to the keeper and start all over again. All this while Martin stood on the touchline animatedly holding fingers up and swirling his other hand around trying to give the impression that he was some kind of tactical genius.

I hate this modern idea that all football has to be played like that where we now have the ridiculous situation of lower league teams trying to play like the Barcelona side of ten years ago. Bollocks to Pep and the cunt at Arsenal with Lego hair, give me a few big tackles, crosses into the box, shots from distance and some actual entertainment instead of this total nonsense.

I remember that game well. There was one point of the game where a simple short diagonal pass had us wide open.

After being bored shitless for half an hour I almost wanted them to do it.

Then the guy turned backward and passed to the full back.

It probably ended up with their keeper.
