Who is this guy? I'd be willing to bet that he has absolutely nothing to base that on...no doubt this guys ramblings will be reported as 'fact' by SSN in the next few minutes. Honestly, no wonder there is a sense of hysteria around the place every time there is a negative news report...

Not always. They could be at SMS for any number of reasons but as there is all this speculation then they can't possibly be any other explanation other than that they are going for a meeting with NC about his impending resignation.....

I don't understand how this is surprising - we have a game on Saturday which they will be preparing for....

I think Cork is great and his distribution is miles better than Wanyama's. However, Vic does give as a lot more defensive protection than Cork as he doesn't venture as far forward. I am slightly puzzled as to why MP has been playing Jack in the 'anchor' position and having Morgan further advanced. I'd have played Morgan slightly deeper and Cork further forward.

Thought he was generally fine but Olsson should have been off and that free kick on Shaw was a poor decision. Only other comment was that I thought he handled the time wasting very poorly. Took him ages to speak to Foster and then didn't book him despite repeat offences. Then later in the second half Boruc took one goal kick a bit slowly and he marched straight over to hurry us along. Where is the consistency?

As if he is better than JRod.... I bet if most Burnley fans were offered JRod back in exchange for Ings they would take it...

Has he lived up to our expectations when he signed? No. Is he our worst signing in the last 50 years? Not by a long way. I mean come on...have you actually been watching Saints for the last 50 years. I can think of at least 50 signings worse than gaston! I actually don't think he did too badly last season at all and was at times very impressed with him. Comparing him to other players transfer fees is a bit pointless IMO, especially ones made whilst we were in League 1.

I completely agree. Jos has completely lost it IMO he wouldn't even get into a top Champ team... We need another CB desperately.

Was at the game, he looked decent and absolutely roasted Jos for their second. Could be good for us but not for the money they would probably want.

Very good going forward and mostly controlled the midfield. In all honestly it told us something we already knew - our back up defenders (Jos especially) are nowhere near good enough.

Davis, what are you doing?!

He has been awful against a Champ team. May have been quality 18 months ago but isn't even Champ quality now.

We've fallen apart. Jos should never play for us again. He's a liability and not even Champ level.

Does this game count in Ossie's suspension?

Who has said RL's injury is bad? Didn't look much at the game...

A case of mistaken identity. No need for quite such an over the top response....

But, Coleman does nevertheless move his arm to block the cross. When Adam has the ball at his feet Coleman's arm is by his side, when he chips it in the arm is in the air blocking....if that's not a blatant penalty then I clearly don't understand handball anymore...(it appears most refs don't either given the wide variety in penalties awarded for the offence).

Puncheon, fraction of the grief? You have a very short memory my friend...

Worst we've played all season. What has happened to Us?

Sometimes I wonder whether people on here actually watch football matches. To suggest Holt is the same player as Lambert is an insult.

No way I'd want to sell him. A club legend and, as others have said, still vitally important to us. I'm amazed and slightly disappointed at the reaction on here.

He moved his arm towards the ball? It's more worrying that he saw it and still didn't give it. If referees can make such horrific calls having actually seen the incident clearly then we have a real problem on our hands.

Exactly, if they did that then I think that fans would be a lot more understanding, not necessarily less frustrated if they disagreed with the referee's call but they would still at least have some explanation.

I'm not even sure its the refs fearing anyone - they are just completely ill equipped to do their job properly - yet they bumble along making completely shocking decisions every single week without fear of any repercussions as the FA wouldn't dare drop Webb from Premier League games. As I've said before, if a player or manager performed as consistently badly as some of these referees they would be sacked.

Liverpool get conned by Webb - he is also one of the worst. Supposedly the top ref in the country but has been a laughing stock ever since that farce of a WC final in 2010. If he is the best we have then we are in a completely embarrassing state.
