Mr Saints

Silva or Dyche.

The board will already know if Puel is going to be here next season IMO. They seemed to be blind-sided by Koeman's departure but if Puel is off this summer I'd hope it gives us a lot of time to be pro-active this time around.

How many weak telegraphed back-passes does Tadic have to produce before he's nowhere near penalties? ****.

Beaten by a better team. We have gone backwards this season, not surprising given the previous 2 league campaigns, turnover of players and manager. VVD is a massive whole. Big summer ahead.

Took the words out of my mouth. He's up there with that Skate Westwood. Weird.

Someone in Romania, with us continuing to pay his wages for the remaining year of his contract.

He'll be a goner in the summer.

Centre mid will be lightweight without Romeu so move Stephens into holding midfield and bring in Caceres at centre half. Need as much physicality as possible, especially defending set pieces.

Cracking result. Anyone got a link to the goals?

Apparently he's been class for Palace so far. Shame we couldn't get him in January.

Sir Rickie. Scored within minutes of his debut and didn't look back.

Unfortunately it mainly consisted of Mancs and Surrey based United fans where I was, although the Saints fans more than held their own despite being outnumbered. The view of the scarf waving red and white blur below and above us was quite incredible and surreal.

His inability to get down quick enough is starting to hamper us. I don't recall him struggling in that area before his injury but may be wrong.

Thank the lord Le Tiss was "lazy". If he wasn't we may have been robbed of our greatest ever player. Very bitter.

Good news on two counts. 1. A player with good pedigree signed in a position which desperately needed strengthening. 2. It's the type of signing that Les and co would previously have scoffed at. Hopefully this means the powers that be are realising the self-hyped black box and recruitment system isn't superior to what any other top flight club operates.

Excellent stuff. Well done chaps.

Nothing to lose and he can't be any worse than what's currently available.

Reed and the hierarchy believing their own hype could cost us massively. They got away with it for 2 seasons because Ronald Koeman is a bloody good manager but the gamble of selling the core every summer was always going to fail eventually. New direction needed.

What a shambles. The club have known since the summer Fonte would be off sooner rather than later so absolutely no excuse, Fonte's replacement should have been on his way in long before the VVD injury. The black box and SFC recruitment system always ahead of the game? Well, ending two consecutive transer windows woefully short in key areas short shows what ******** that is.

Not good enough. Get the cup final out the way and then get rid of Puel. Planning for the next manager should be well underway.

The only player that could complete a 180 degree turn slower than Emre Can.

Saturday proved we need as much strength in depth as possible. Because let's face it, there isn't much in reserve currently. So what if senior pro's don't make the matchday squad? It's up to them to get back into it.

Wouldn't be surprised if he departs in the next few days. Needs to for the sake of his career.

What a night, what a performance. Gameplan spot on and carried out magnificently by each and every player. Wonderful stuff.

Just brings home how slapdash the club's transfer policy is. Les "Fonte will not be sold until a replacement is in" Reed has a lot to answer for.
