Yorkshire Saint

Of course there are always two sides to a story, but I feel I am a reasonable man. After UTD's first and then second goal I stood up and tried to get the atmosphere going in 528. In my opinion the fans were frozen up to this point. I tried to sing, I tried to support my team. The man directly behind me asked me to sit down because his son could not see and I sat down, a man and his son who was around 22 i guess and two seats to the left in the row behind me started verbally assaulting me, mocking me and I asked them to be quiet and support the team ... they had clearly had too much and were ready for a punch up .. it might sound soft but I have 20 years of Karate training ... I had 2 choices, knock them on there back sides or walk away, I walked away. I appreciate this is a forum, I appreciate people's frustrations, I have never been in a fight and I am not an aggressive man. These two were scum and it almost felt premeditated.

In a vain attempt that you can use a computer, perhaps a forum - To the man and his son who physically assaulted me at Wembley yesterday after Saints went 2-0 down, I understand you were disappointed, I was too, but in 40 years of going to games ... for one of my own to start throwing punches at me so that I had to leave my seat I say ... thank you, thank you for the money you will now save me as I will no longer follow my team as I have over land and sea. You were quite truly a disgrace and you ruined my day - I couldn't care for the score, I couldn't care one bit ... in context I wake up happy that I only have a bruised head - you are scum and I associate that kind of behaviour with other fans like Leeds not Southampton.

To confirm, are we doing the sash ?

So had we made an effort v Arsenal .. Sutton and Lincoln would have stood in our way

Sentiments say Stephens plays - do this and we are giving UTD the edge especially on current form. A mate is a season ticket holder at Juventus he says if you can keep him fit you have a seriously good player. If he is deemed match fit if only for 60 minutes or so we must play him, there really is no argument here - this lad is class

Would be crazy not to start him at Wembley

Having worked in the premier league and in a champions league environment.. this is the least of it. They are almost untouchable should there ego choose.

I'm with many others on this site. Here is an opportunity to win a major trophy and re qualify for Europe. Let's enjoy this ... I just woke up and had had a dream so vivid I thought it was the morning after the game. Saints were 3-0 up in the final, 2 of those goals coming late on as UTD pushed for an equaliser. 3-0 90th minute, Utd have a player sent off at 3-1 for abusing the ref and then get another quick goal to make it 3-2 but we hang on. Here is hoping

A very good article, appears to have a balanced and articulate view. None of us know how the players judge him ... why make statements you can. It justify how ever true you believe them to be. Let's try to be together as one and look forward to Wembley as many others on this site have suggested

SSN reporting deal is close to be completed

Who is the bloke in jeans who joins in the goal celebration... quality. Quality reaction from Puel too, all things said and done he has got us to Wembley

Speechless Lallana, Lovren, Clyne, Mane .. even Fonte - what can you say

Deal completed with West Ham

I don't disagree that it is too slow. But I still think half of that is down to a focal point, we are damned if we do put the ball in the box, with 3 5 foot f all players and we are damned if we don't. Going around in circles to slowly as you say. Again, this I a lack of a signing, not Puel although I do feel something is not quite right in the camp.

Of course, I understand that. But booing the team - they gave there all and Puel is doing the best with what he has. Signing the players is not the players fault and I would imagine not completely Puels. Equally, those criticising Forster and the idiot who was just on 606 ... be careful what you wish for.

Stuck in traffic in Burnley. I thought we were quite good. To many crosses with forwards with little bite but we played well. What I did notice and I have seen it a few times, around 70 minutes Puel makes changes but generally when we are looking fluid and the players are engaging. I sore it today, radical came off and we lost some flow.. I don't know if it would have effected the result but I do think it slowed us down in an entertaining game. To the fans booing at the end .. WTF ? One decent striker of VVD stature and we would be battering sides regularly.

Undoubtedly 4-1 v Liverpool sticks out

My first manager on Milton Road. My first chant as a 14 year old .. we want Nichols out say we want nicholl out Now some of my fondest memories are of his teams.. we could be 2-0 down at half time and know we would win. So many great memories.

I remember watching that game ! I say it with best intention.

Enough. I feel he is still to raw and weak for this level but that's just my opinion which counts for squirt. Good luck to him I just hope he does not take a battering.

Lewis is not ready, imo

I can't believe he will go anywhere other than the Far East. It smacks of it to me, are Everton or UTD etc really going to invest much more than us.. I worry more about what's next with consideration of what I see in the players body language and the view from the top

He plays on the left He plays on the right Nathan Redmond Is still playing sh1te

Hmmm, I firnone valued the contribution massively

Are there any ITK left on this site? AR-10, King Billy and LeGoddard gave this site an element of value, with so many vultures circling and so many bickerings on multiple threads, do we have any ITK of certainty regarding the take over, Fonte, player recruitment or sales and most significantly to me ... does Puel maintain the support of the dressing room ?
