  1. This game proves the saying quality over quantity.
  2. Maybe Koeman is a professional and doesn't look at this like a fan. He doesn't give a **** about the Saints anymore and doesn't hide it. Big deal.
  3. I agree with all of this. The Puel hate is off the charts.
  4. I love all the Puel hate. What superstar(s) did he leave on the bench? Some of you guys act like this is a video game and he has tons of options that he's blatantly ignoring. The mythical powers many believe a manager has is ridiculous. Players play the game. Bertrand air mailing crosses to the moon and Redmond wasting touch after touch...how many quality players does this squad really have? Everyone needs to be honest with themselves. The only bright spot is he should be able to focus on the league now as we all know the dumpster fire ahead of us in the cup runs.
  5. That wasn't on Forster. Horrible passing in our own end. This team is a ****ing embarrassment this season. Let's sell another ****ing player or ten in January.
  6. Scoring more than a goal a game is going to be a huge chore for this team. I'm genuinely worried about this season. Losing Mane is a huge loss as there isn't any explosiveness in the offense. It's a team of good players with no standouts..at least so far this season. I also hope this ref..I dunno..I'm so damned mad now being robbed of a point.
  7. I hope the official losses a ****ing nut tonight.
  8. My point is what formation does this substandard team compared to last year thrive in? Magically going to another formation doesn't create more with the players that are on the pitch currently. Mane isn't screaming down the wing pushing defenders back, Wanyama is destroying in front of Fonte and VVD and the team didn't really bring in any upgrades for players that weren't sold. I'm hoping for a comfortable bottom half finish this year as it appears to my eye the brain trust at St. Mary's wants to take a breath and retool as I surely haven't seen ambition from them in the offseason.
  9. It's easy to ridicule the diamond formation but there isn't enough talent in the starting XI. Austin is lumbering around, lack of creativity and bite in the midfield, Redmond for Mane (barf) and Targett is no Bertrand. It is what it is. Also calling out Puel so early and him not having the dressing room on his side is fantasy talk, who the hell knows and most likely that guess us crap as everyone on the team is a professional.
  10. It's hard as an American to pick a team when we haven't grown up with it. I'm 43 and I've bounced around a few clubs watching and rooting for them but have been with Southampton the last 2ish years (I like Norwich City too but can't watch them across the pond). It is hard for 30/40 something year olds to pick a team out of the air in my opinion. I enjoy SFC as they most mimic my beloved New Jersey Devils (NHL). While they are **** now they have a really interesting history with a rag to riches theme that resulted in 3 championships as well as a history of developing lunch pail stars willing to work at both ends of the ice, not just being Prima Donna types. I know the EPL is different and unless there are some money rule changes this might not ever happen here. I love the idea of Southampton being very efficient at finding talent be it homegrown or from abroad and playing with an attractive style. It is a cope out to just pick an oil baron or money team in the Manchester clubs, Chelsea and the like on the continent. Southampton is the perfect club for Americans who appreciate hard work and idea of a small team making it big. My two cents..
  11. I'm on year 2066 with FM12 and still enjoying it. Any reason to upgrade to FM15? I assume other than skins and a few other tweaks these games don't change much year over year.
  12. Some of you guys are giving Pelle the "Ricky van Wolfswinkel Award" a bit early.
