Yoshida Vestergaard Bednarek Chuckle Brothers. For me sums up our problems, when Yoshida is rated as the best centre back at the club. He has gone from 3rd choice to 1st choice in 2 years, and its not because he's suddenly got better.

You should really give the club a break , it’s not like the ground has been open for 17 years is it ......

Yes, is called positive / negative goal difference. What I actually meant was during individual games. I can see us needing to score 2 just to get a point or holding out for many 1- 0 with the current squad.

Exactly how I see it. As things stand our strikers will not be able to score more than we let in. If we can sort out both then we could finish around 10th. Tadic will be a bigger loss then some think.

Bit touchy aren't we. Whats it to you what I may or may think xxx

What 5 days before the season ticket renewal deadline a made up story in the press that Saints are looking at £20+ million players, surely not.

I would be very surprised if we broke our transfer record (if the reports of £20 million plus are true as well) on Maddison, time will tell if this report is true or not. I don't know if its just Saints, but we always seen to be linked with lots of players and for one reason or another they don't sign.

So when do the elected candites ask us our views? Most say the represent Season Ticket Holders and Away Supporters so are they going to contact us to get onboard our views?

Who supports a club because they were recommended to them?

Not necessarily, we might have had to use some of the VVD money to make up a shortfall in revenue from finishing 8th to 17th.

Paying off the clown and his clownettes, appointing Hughes and his backroom staff, the much reported bonus for Hughes for keeping us up and the approximate £15 million difference from finishing 8th to this seasons 17th.

Considering the club tell us, with the so called black box, they know who is going to be the next manager and what players they are going to sign years in advanced you'd like to think so. Maybe they didn't pay for the upgrade for the football manager game, after all that's basically all the black box is.

Yep 100% agree. If we had appointed Mark Hughes last summer then most would have been disapointed. However he came in and kept up a team that was destined for the Championship. Yes we only won 2 out of 8 but we only had 3 of thse games at home and 2 of them were against Chelsea and Man City. Ohter than the West Ham game Saints perfoamces improved. Right now we can't afford to take a chance on another unknown.

Yep, which going by past history is not good.

So inspired we still lost.

Branfoot had a tactic, a **** tactic but it least it was a tactic. The clown was just ****ing crap and he was the worst Coach/ Manager in my 40 odd seasons of supporting Saints.

What makes you think we have money? Do you really think we are able to spend £100 million without selling 1st? People keep saying about "we have money" but just don't see it my self. Yes we still have some of the VVD money but we have lost about £16 million in prize money from finishing 8th last season to maybe 16th/17th this season.

Most normal people count the "current" 92, so at the end of each season you can gain, lose or stay the same depending on who goes down and who comes up. Just to make it exact for you, this season I lost the Hive but I could gain back Prenton Park for next season.

He is now a easily our best Goalkeeper and in my opinion our player of the season. He all round game has improved, he catches the ball, if he can't catch it he will make sure he punches it away - he commands the 6 yard box with great confidence. And is now a great shot stopper, as has been proven in the last view games where he has saved us points. He's our No.1 for me.

Nope, we won their in 1992 an evening game 3 or 4 days after the ZDS final

We have improved under Hughes. Good performances in the league against Arsenal, Chelsea and Bournemouth, however our defensive failings which have been with us all season are still there. The one game (league)since he joined us where we didn't play well could cost us - West Ham away Like you say though we have been crap for most of the season, keeping the Clown for too long and failing to win against sides we would have expected to is the reason why we are 3rd bottom. 9 times out of 10 we would lose at Everton, we just have to hope tomorrow is the 10th - though we need to Win not draw in my opinion .

I think a lot of fans seem to think we are going to be spending to go back up at the 1st attempt. I also think a lot of fans are going to be in for a shock. I think the board will be planning to cut costs and making sure we are not going to go belly up again. I can see several players going for a lot less then some think simply because we will need to reduce the wage bill. It wouldn't surprise me if the corner blocks were closed again. If i worked at St Mary's I would be very worried about my job.

I will give you an opinion seeing as Mr "If you think this squad will finish anywhere near the relegation places your opinion of players is misguided" doesn't want to. - No we won't turn it down.

Yes, Just because it was wrong to appoint Pellegrino and wrong not to sack him sooner does not mean it was wrong to sack Puel. Those that keep on about be careful what you wish for, well I wished and and glad Puel got the sack, I didn't wish for the appointment of a ****ing clown as his replacement.
