@L1minus10 @SaintRob__ Tarnishes what was a great couple months as a fan especially after such a shit season last year. It’s a real test of loyalty being a Southampton fan these days, hopefully the refund process for Wembley is smooth - although I hold little hope in that

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@SFCMikeKavs The players are performing now because 1) they’re cowards and they know there isn’t a permanent manager to put blame on if they lose 2) we’ve played 2 dogshit teams we would’ve beaten anyway

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@_AlexOliva_ Replacing Ralph with this cock is a large reason we’re in this mess, brought embarrassment to the club. Should never have been considered for the job

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@FlynnJonas2 Never have I been so certain that I’m better at football than a player than I was with moi elyounoussi, and I am fucking dogshit. Bloke had cement mixers for feet, was a given that he’d lose the ball 100% of the time

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@SaintsExtra This means we’ll lose 2-0 to two set piece goals

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@AlfieHouseEcho And he’s absolutely right btw

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@AlfieHouseEcho Think roerslev and archer have looked good, and at times Stewart all making forward runs - just a shame those runs are frequently ignored for a sideways pass instead

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@oc_chaudhary None of them lace Richard Chaplow’s size 10s

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@AlfieHouseEcho Has all the hallmarks of a classic SR last minute 15 million-ish £ panic buy on a flop who we’ll end up selling in 2027 for a smidge of the fee we paid for them

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@craigyjones17 @itvfootball @Wrexham_AFC @EFL Shirt pull on quarshie was probably the other major shout for us

Box midfield, dibling Messi esc free roaming behind the two up top behind one big guy and one not as big guy, Matty dictating, Flynn downes snapping everything he sees - lovely stuff

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@L1minus10 @londonsaints @FootballMartin_ @TotalSaintsPod Thoroughly enjoyable read

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@ManCity Didn’t know Jan Bednarek could paint

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@edleesmusic This aged nicely

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@rees_julian Where does he get his haircut

[Luke Jones @lvkejoness]

@AlfieHouseEcho Always gave 100% no doubt, just unfortunate that his 100% is still dogshit
