Southampton 5-0 down at home to Spurs at halftime this evening, Ruth Manning starting.

You'd have to assume the manager is under big pressure now, especially with Southampton on just 5 points as Christmas approaches. Brings the usual implications for the Irish contingent there

I am surprised that Martin hasn't been dumped weeks ago - this was all too predictable and I pointed it out very early last season when they were going well in the Championship. Martin's teams can't defend - you can get away with it in the Championship - but in the PL you will be torn asunder.

Thought Martin might at least last until the morning, but no, sacked before leaving the ground tonight. Would be surprised if that's anything other than bad news for Manning.
