Admittedly I don't walk around the outside of the whole stadium but i'm yet to see these food vendors or locally brewed beers. Other than the burger vans that have been there for the last few seasons. I'm refusing to buy anything from or within the stadium, I'm sure (If present) these vendors would have to pay a fee to operate but i'd hope any money earnt would go to the vendor.

Working like a dream for Southampton.

Being constantly reminded to be careful what we wished for regarding Rodgers, ultimately, in the long run, led to appointing Cooper. Sack Rodgers sooner, probably no relegation, no appointment of Cooper. But, good job those happy clappers, sat on their hands! (And despite all the pissing and moaning regarding Cooper on here, looks like they're doing the same this time - Not a murmur of discontent in the stands, not got it in us as a fanbase. Talk a good game of toxicity and protests though.)

And ask yourself the question, how did we even end up with Cooper? Break it all down and then you might then find yourself closer to the truth.

I really don't care. I'm not arguing for him to stay in the job but it doesn't matter who we get next while we still have the powers that be and the attitude of our fanbase not alot will change.

Some know-it-all behind me responding to the "Your support is ****ing shit" chant by "Huhaha, well, I think we know that". She then proceeded to claim "Them in the corner aren't even singing" and repeatedly shouting "You're rubbish" to the team (I mean she may be right, however, its not really going to contribute to any good or positive atmosphere is it). Prior to all this she was slagging off and remarking "What's that?!" to the Tifo. Do these people not realise they are the problem.

I hope everyone who were being careful what they wished for are happy.

I mean it speaks volumes when I come across as positive! But as for your last sentence, unfortunately that's already been done.

Appreciate i've just said about no siege mentality, however, whilst you may see little fight and hunger, I see more this season than I have in the last few seasons, certainly the relegation season and the one before that. Even last season when the going got tough the fight was questionable but as I alluded to in my above post that's just a by-product and how the modern game comes across, to me. That relegation team and the season before that had top 5 or CL quality players - but they had little fight, hunger and desire. This team simply doesn't have top 5 or CL quality, people need to realise that but the fact we're scoring last minute goals suggests there is fight.

It used to be a siege mentality, we were at our best when were up against it, both on and off the pitch, but the way the modern game has gone, tepid and nicey nicey, along with our fanbase going the same way, merrily happy clapping along, that's long gone. Now? I'm not sure, nothing it seems.

Since August: Each Premier League club has played 11 games. By the end of this international break there will have been 6 games for internationals in that same timeframe. The fact 8 players have withdrew from England duty speaks volumes of the regard they hold them in.

They might want to, but, they also need to realise and accept they’re not good enough to play that way, against opposition in this league. Also what makes me laugh is fair enough I get they need guidance, an idea, a plan, but it’s like they want or need to be spoon fed basics.

One of the better, more exciting leagues, has been for a few years. People still believe the outdated stigma of Italian football being boring, slow, negative and defensive. No, that’s the Premier League (The Best League In The World ©️) and La Liga’s mantle.

Barcelona. 70% possession, not a single shot on target. Fucking disgusting. There's people that probably loved it though.

If you're in the same position as me i'm afraid it does remain, I experienced it under Rodgers and passion and desire is still at a loss. I want to care but it's not in me anymore.

We've chased him twice, he's turned us down, twice. During one of those discussions it's widely rumored he was engineering his exit clauses, before he'd even started. He's obsessed with xG, downplaying losses with such quotes as "If you look at the xG of McGinn's goal, it's not that big a chance". He's obsessed with possession and philosophy, rather than changing or adapting. Hallmarks of Rodgers MK2 if you ask me.

Potter's turned us down twice, but fans and the club alike keep going running after him.

Just for references of how managers can be 'flavour of the month' and/or how quick things can turn see people calling for the likes of Corberan (Admittedly my first choice in the summer) or Robins. And how boring it seems WBA are (In defence of that, that's how football is, accept it - me more than anyone)/How poor Cov have been. Yes, Ruud's done good during his interim spell, but bare in mind what he's got to work with both on and off the field here. None of what I have said is in any way supporting keeping Cooper, just examples of how quick things can, and will(!), change. For me, Moyes. I appreciate West Ham fans opinions of Moyes were similar to ours of Rodgers, except we've ended up in the mess we are in though keeping Rodgers and West Ham are worse since letting Moyes go - I personally think Moyes did an outstanding job with West Ham. I suggest people listen to this weeks episode of The Overlap where Moyes is interviewed.

Ah. Guess we just accept thats that then.

Nothing to do with them being foreign specifically but British managers are, clearly, lacking something for whatever reason, however I wouldn't say foreign managers any more flexible. I was listening to the Overlap podcast the other day, Moyes was on and he was making the point what's wrong with being flexible, changing things, not being wedded to one philosophy or one way of playing. Yet there are few who are and do that. Flexible doesn't even come into the modern day managers vocabulary. It's just not a thing in this age. I'm going to contradict myself with much of what i've said above but one of very few, a dying breed, that are flexible, does change things, does change dependent upon who they are playing, is Nuno. Who alot of most people stuck their nose up at and thought we were better than him (And yes, I do realise they lost today)

However, we can blame the manager, we can blame the board, the owners, but when are we, the fans, gonna be more pro active. We're the most passive, happy clapping fanbase in the country barr none. Accountability for every single person involved with this football club.

If only people cared this much and were so vitriolic under Rodgers, maybe we'd not have even ended up with Cooper in the first place.... But i'm glad people were careful what they wished for, unfortunately this is it.

**** Kristiansen off out of this football club.

Anyone else missing an influential player: "They're a one man team". Man City: "Ahhh, but they're missing Rodri", "They've got injuries".

Fraudiola.
