Southampton fans, gather round and bring your tissues because this one\u2019s going to sting. The Bournemouth vs Southampton<\/strong><\/a> clash in the Premier League left the Saints limping and their boss, Russell Martin, nursing a hurt heart and perhaps a dented ego. This wasn\u2019t just a loss\u2014it was a masterclass in how to completely fall apart at the seams. If you didn\u2019t catch the match, spoiler alert: Bournemouth won 3-1, and Martin is not exactly framing this game as a team-building moment.<\/p>\n\n\n

Bournemouth vs Southampton. It\u2019s a match that carries weight\u2014two coastal rivals, fans expecting a fight, and yet, what we got was, as Martin himself put it, \u201churtful.\u201d Southampton, still winless after six matches, are 19th in the table. In fact, this is their worst start to a season since the good ol\u2019<\/em> 1998-99 campaign. But enough about ancient history, let\u2019s talk about this disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
