Mick was the hero striker when I started going in 77. My favourite Saints player of all time. 40 years ago. Strewth!

A very good season. Exciting football. Most of the season tucked in just behind the big boys, and then pouncing when one or 2 of them slip up. Status as a pocket superclub confirmed and a top 6 finish.

Still get goosebumps watching the footage of his skills and goals. The almost casual nonchalance of, for example, the incredible Newcastle goals.

It's all a negotiating dance. He'll go by the end of August. I'd hope for 70mil but fear it'll be only 40-50mil.

I wish we were like Southampton.

Is Ward-Prowse a "top player"? Arguably very much so.

Excellent. In contrast last season's appointment, this one feels right from day one. I can see him cementing our place in the European Elite (Tier 2).

The writing was on the wall as early as last Autumn for us seasoned observers, as the dreary die was cast. Get Tuchel and a long hot a summer beckons, topped off by endless taunting of gobsmacked Scouse and Arse workmates. Then the excitement of the new season.

Away shirt is very, very classy. Fits perfectly with our sophisticated, European pocket-superclub image and status.

Nauseating, soulless, prawnsandwiching marketeer guff. Nothing about fans watching football. Where is the steeply-banked St Mary's kop end for 15000 youths at £10 per head plan?

He will have a new lease of life without the dead hand of Puel managing him and the rest of the team. Keep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are we Stihl on for 8th? Not that it will Makita much for Puel's fate... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lets make sure of 8th lads Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The neighbour's cat could have taken this squad to 8th and the League Cup final. The Premier league was utter dross bar the top 7 this year, so those achievements do not necessarily reflect well on Claude I am afraid. He is gone.

Some pundits billed Puel at Saints as an audition for the Arsenal job once Wenger goes. Back to the drawing board at the Emirates...

Won't be seen again in a Saints shirt

The dead hand of Puel shall soon return to the obscurity of the French league.

Our play and attitude smacks of the players knowing Puel is gone.

I would be reassured if KL stays in new structure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed.
