No he didn't - EVERYONE knew who Mane, Alderweireld and Wanyama were. It was not hard to identify them as being potentially good enough to join this league and the Alderweireld joined because of Koeman.

This xG sh*t is a complete load of crap and one reason modern football is dreadful. xG. FFS. How many goals did you score and concede, that is what is important. F**king xG.

No it won't be, it'll be ideal; clear out players who don't give a f**k, clear out hanger on Premier League fans and start again. I'd rather watch us in the lower leagues again, the Premier League is utter w*nk.

Absolutely! I despised that 2005 team, but I am starting to hate this current lot MORE because they clearly have some talent but just don't apply it.

Actually that's a VERY good shout. A little bright spark that we should see more. #VoteforSims

This.

Exactly this.

Who needs England friendlies anyway.

Agreed and if that was the date & time, I'll just stay at home and watch.

Absolute breath of fresh air after the last two wittering on about nothing. I really hope it shows on the pitch, come on you Saints!

Yes, you probably are the only one who cares more about premier league status than the FA cup. I bet most people would rather win the FA cup than stay in this dreadful over-hyped league full of all the 'characters' like Pep, Klopp, Jose blah blah blah blah.

They're all c**ts. Les Reed - blinkered c**t Kruger - Clueless c**t Pellegrino - Poor yes man sap, out of his depth, fraudulent 'manager' c**t.

You horrific bellend.

This. It's such a tiny, inconsequential moment as a Saints fan.

How many 'syns' have they had?

4 companies ago And they've gone backwards, by a long way ...

I work with a lot of these tools ... 'oh yah, I never watch live TV yah, I don't even own a TV guffaw".

I always drink the rubbish bottles in the ground, either cider or wine. The "beer" is simply abysmal. Serve some decent stuff, get the ground a bit more f**ked up on it and get some atmosphere.

7th? F**k it, there's a decent top 3 (Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea) and although early days, it looks like 'everyone else'.

For the first time, in a very long time as a Saints fan, I'm going to predict an easy Man Utd win and a relatively boring match. 0-2 without them breaking sweat - they look very bloody good this year. Still can but hope for another 6-3 day

NO!

Disagree, he had a Sam Allardyce team playing nice football. Did you watch it? Palace were good to watch and battered Burnley - who only just held firm with a very very good defending and keeping.

Absolutely. Ludicrous decision.

Martina must have some dirt on the Koemans ... it's weird. I like the guy, but come on ... wonder what Everton fans think!

Another thing that I've said too. It always looks jolly good fun at training in the videos. Time spirit is one thing, but constant messing around and not translating that on the pitch is another - they need a bollocking.
