Lincoln striker Jonny Margetts scored all four goals to send Southport crashing to their worst defeat of the season so far. To make matters worse the Port had Ashley Grimes sent off as well.

Sack all of them same old same old.Yes I did go on way back now.CLAPHAM OUT NOW

Relegated before bonfire night....

So southport have started the season badly! What did everyone honestly expect? The chairman employs the cheapest option (again) gives him virtually zero budget (again) manager has to make do with whatever cannon fodder he can (again) and the team struggles (again).

It's like Groundhog Day at haig ave and always will be while Scrooge Clapham is there

Talk about 30 years of hurt for England!! Maybe we should rewrite 3 lions for Southport fc
