I suppose I shouldn't grumble, but I was finding myself less than concerned about the Buddies being beaten at Easter Road on Saturday. Somehow I feel that this is the pattern for the rest of the season as we become the whipping boys of the top six...still, there'll be no relegation for us this season. I feel like our players are already on the beach. Hearts next up on Saturday.

As one door closes, another one slams in your face. Sorry about the final demise for Hangers, AG, a sad day seeing both you and Rochdale going down.

Saints even more all- but - down, after the usual defensive chaos in Nottingham tonight.

We have got worse and worse, and really look and absolute and complete mess.
Around two months to put together a proper team looks a very tall order. We have had a decent 11 year run in the PL, but are going down looking like a rabble. Not a good starting point.

Something like three points from eleven games. A truly dreadful effort to avoid the drop, from a squad that should at least have made a fight of it. A lot needs to change , and very quickly.

Sorry to see the Owls result, a real shocker. Tough league to get out of.

Thanks AG. We need somebody experienced, who is prepared to make big and possibly unpopular decisions.
The current ownership have a very poor record in making the big calls.
Rafa? Yes please, yes please……

Yeah, ts. Although the demise of the southern Saints had become increasingly inevitable, I was very disappointed for you at the rather tame way the team seemed to accept their fate. Hope you can bounce back quick. And hope you're not joined by Alison's Foxes, though things continue looking dodgy for them too.
Buddies managed a draw against the Jam Tarts yesterday that felt like a defeat. Two-nil up, Hearts managed a lifeline, then got a man sent off but still managed a Fergie time penalty to rescue a point. Very disappointing - fortunately dreams of Europe are now firmly at an end.

Commiserations, TS. I'm sorry to see Saints go. Our daughter was at Palace's Bournemouth game yesterday and commented on how shockingly poor your neighbours were and how any team below them must be perplexed as to how they seem to have managed to stay up.
