If it's any consolation Gandalf, it took me a bit of time to find it as well ( and I'm a really smart guy ) !

I'm guessing that they have ditched the 'early bird' system and that there is only one renewal price nowadays ? Anyway, like most others I will renew close to the June 22nd deadline and after such an abysmal season I suppose that the club had no option but to maintain the prices as before but am relieved nevertheless !

No contest!

I'm pretty sure that Krueger was here before last June !!

I’m sure that you understood that I meant a ‘speaking part’ rather than just a face in the crowd ! I did say ‘to outline his plans/intentions’ therefore you have misconstrued my statement ! So easy to cherry pick part of a sentence to misrepresent the context !

As a long term Saints fan I am extremely disappointed that our current club custodians cannot even be bothered to make an appearance nor outline their intentions! Instead this responsibility is delegated to someone who specialises in ‘fancy words & flowery phrases’ but never actually says anything of any value ! It is acknowledged that we (the fans) helped drag the club out of deep trouble in the last few weeks so I would have expected more in terms of inclusion but instead am left with a feeling that we are being treated with contempt !!

I have worked with guys like him ! Continous waffle and non commital responses indicate that he is covering his own arse ( and probably that of his cohorts ) ! Being a master of jargonistic, ‘double speak’ is nothing to be proud of IMO and talk of transparency is exactly that - talk ! I actually see him as a bigger problem than Les in that he is the chairman and the buck stops there !!

Don't particularly agree with those who make out that RK was honest and upfront in this interview ! Yes, he admitted that mistakes were made and we had a very poor season ( kinda difficult to defend the indefensible really !) He prattles on about communication but he himself is not good at it, ie. his jargonistic claptrap does not allow people to know where they stand and his refusal to answer direct questions, for me, shows weakness, not strength ! Frankly, Mark Hughes is a better communicator than he is ! Big Adam basically asked the right questions but I reckon he could have pushed a bit more on the owners intentions/plans and perhaps asked if we would ever get to see or hear from them ! As always, we are left 'reading between the lines' and on that score I reckon that Les may not be here for long but perhaps I'm being overly optimistic !

Lots of talk about us defending at all costs but remember that for every goal we score Swansea’s task becomes much harder ! Without going ‘gung ho’ I reckon we should concentrate one bagging a couple regardless of how many they might put past us ! Easier said than done, I accept, but it might just be a better approach than sitting deep and letting them come at us !! COYS

Saints will beat Man City

I don’t buy that one iota ! Hughes is his own man and won’t take any sh”t from the likes of Boufal ! Listen to the player interviews and you will clearly understand who is calling the shots right now !

Just watched Cresswell go well over the top on McTominay ! Very clear yellow at the very least but not given ! The ref is Jon Moss, same guy who clearly deemed Yoshida’s challenge (1st yellow) as being worse ! Inconsistency rules, I’m afraid - or maybe just incompetence!

Refreshing to listen to someone you actually understand what he is on about ! I’m sure that the players see it the same way and know what is required of them, especially compared to both Puel and Pellegrino who turned gibberish into a fine art

Clearly the players have reacted positively to Hughes’ style of management (well, apart from Boufal) ! It would be a travesty if he doesn’t get the job with a 2 or 3 year contract IMO ! Personally I don’t want another foreign manager who talks a load of sh!t and nobody can connect with !

In some ways I'm glad that we are playing away as home fans get very nervous in these situations and it can easily transmit to the players ! Swansea have to take the game to us and if they don't get early rewards the pressure might well get to them, let's hope so anyway ! If we are still in it late on then Long/Redmond will definitely unsettle them ! Obviously I have no idea how it will all pan out but we do have a good chance ! COYS

Do we also assume that Mike Dean will be taking a good look at himself after bottling the decision to send off Alonso ? Oh and the ref who missed the Watford handball in the last minute ? I guess we can’t blame him either??

I’m sure that Moss made a number of ‘questionable’ decisions in this match but allowing them to quickly take a free kick from the wrong place was not questionable, it was incompetent !

Don’t get your logic ? If he does not give a free kick to them (which it wasn’t) then we have possession in their half instead of the other way around ! His Lino was right next to the alleged foul and never gave it yet Moss decided from a distance to award it and then allow them to take it from the wrong place ! All this in the last minute when we could have run the clock down ! So it was a problem to us and that is down to an incompetent referee !

Got to go ‘**** or bust’ in 2nd half, I don’t agree that a point is good enough!

Well that’s them in the third division for yet another year ! Lost to the mighty (and already relegated) Bury ! Oh dear, how sad !

May we assume that you have not seen a Saints match all season ??

2/10

Always seen him as a ‘show pony’ who is much more interested in himself than the team ! Absolutely sure that he won’t be here next season in the Championship!

I’ll be reading his book, looking forward to it’s release !!

Even managed to spell 'Liebherr' wrongly !
