"Mauricio Pochettino has failed this season. Let me tell you why" The first line of the article. The first freaking line.

Don't worry, pretty sure I remember plenty of people saying how brilliant it will be when we knock Man United off 7th place on the last day. That will be ten times better than any cup final could ever be because it's, like, the league and stuff. The city will be rocking more than it did in 1976 when that thing with Man U definitely happens in a few weeks. Can't wait to get hold of the commemorative DVD of the match/bus parade/key to the city for Pochettino ceremony. And just imagine how jealous people in Hull will be.

The Dalek pretend-opinion comedy wagon the is back on the road, everyone. Oh he's so funny. Remember to play along with him, he's only really got three jokes (this one, one about ridiculous points - to - stay -up targets and his Hoddle stuff). Just let him have his fun. Keep laughing.

They should all be locked up for calling their plot 'operation trojan horse'. Effing idiots.

Jesus. I think you should carry on not posting much if you are going to put nonsense like that up.

Poyet, Bruce, Darren Ferguson.

Especially for a complete non entity like Cyril Smith. Pretty sickening stuff.

You think "do you think we're going to end the season with five - yes five - consecutive defeats" is a valid question? Of course we aren't. Next.

Well, luckily we have that now.

People can be optimistic and excited all they like. It's the "we're at a crossroads" bo lloc ks I am against. Be excited, be optimistic, but let's not here the whiny demands to hear the chairman promising huge spending and CL aspirations. The previous chairman did that and we got nowhere near. What I see on this thread is not "excitement" and "optimism", but people priming themselves to get angry when this "push" for fourth/sixth doesn't happen. A player or two will leave, and we won't be spending 30-40 million net to chase the CL. Finishing eighth next season is exciting and optimistic for me: it will be flipping tough to do. We start in August with zero points again. Do that, get to Wembley. Exciting. Optimistic. I'm excited. I'm optimistic. What I am not is waiting for any excuse to go bats hi t mental because a player gets sold or we don't sign someone on June 2nd.

He did win the league, and they did well enough in the CL. Hardly Moyes levels of failure.

I prefer chairmen that can manage to get a Premier League club to generate more commercial revenue than Watford. I reckon this guy can. Mainly by spending far less time snuzzling up to his chums at the Daily Mail than he predecessor did.

We're not going to be top four. Not next season, not ever. There is no crossroads between us being a top six team and certain doom. Next season we are finishing somewhere between 7th (highly unlikely) and 14th. We will probably say goodbye to a player or two. We'll make some signings too. But we ain't magically turning into a top six mega-team. Not next season. Not ever. We are Saints. Eighth place next season would be another brilliant season. So get over it you bunch of fannies. No crossroads, no sign of intent, no assurances needed. What will be, we'll be. And we're in good hands.

I get the impression he was sacked with the team bottom. Because he was and they were.

Why any of you dins think Spurs have any serious interest in Pochettino, a mid-table manager in two countries, I'll never know. Spurs want someone to virtually guarantee 4th, Poch virtually guarantees eighth. If Poch ends up at Spurs it will be because at least three other candidates turned them down.

If you want the greatest businessman that ever lived, then he don't come cheap.

Swindon Town, Bristol City, Barnsley and all the other forward thinking modern football clubs in plain red have always played a high pressing modern style of football. We only started with this season's stunner of a kit. Maybe Fulham or Norwich should change to a stunner plain red kit for the last five games of the season. Safety assured.

Can anyone point me in the direction of one of those summers that wasn't critical, and no one cared who we bought, sold or kept? Last summer? The one before? 2006-7? 1998-9? Just interested.

Would be a lovely little role for him in his dotage and a decent appointment for us, I'd say.

Ask not if you can achieve a lower commercial income than Championship Watford, but how. Laughable people believed Cortese's pie in the sky Champions League routine when you look at this.

Your comment makes no sense whatsoever, but, hey, jolly well done on scoring a thread you didn't understand.

Or is it Stoke? Some parochial team anyway. Well done them.

Exactly. And articles like that could be sourced from Poch ' s agent to get him a better deal from Saints. I find it incredibly unlikely Spurs would approach Poch. They will want a big name, not someone with nothing but mid-table to bottom half finishes to his name. Would be a gigantic gamble for Levy after AVB and Sherwood.

This is very different to your claims earlier in the thread.

Would be great to see them come up, just as long as no one, and I mean no one, tries to engineer some weak pun on "El Classico" for our derbies with them. I hate that.
