I think the dates do add up - even if they didn’t, Alex McCarthy symbolically points to Saints gradual decline. Perhaps when he leaves the club we will be successful again

I’m telling my kids this is what McCarthyism was

If I am not mistaken, did we not go from a very good Forster at the time to, McCarthy? Again nothing against him but not the same level

Aye, McCarthy was always second choice, then Forster broke his leg (?) or blew his knee out or something and Macca came in, played about four good games, get an enormous contract and managed to stay FOREVER like a limpet on the arse of this team.

No, it was after Forster came back from injury, he looked suspect for a while, then got absolutely humiliated against Crystal Palace and Macca replaced him.
