"Sink the Bismarck" beckons fom YouTube too.

We have clicked and played really nice football on the odd occasion under Puel, and I have been left purring at times. He also pulled off some masterful tactical substitutions earlier in the season. However the majority of games, especially recently, have been insipid, turgid affairs, redolent of the post match interview style. Exiting the Europa with barely a whimper has raised anxieties as has our subsequent league form. The misfiring front-line are a major concern. The feel-good factor around he club has evaporated, the mood music is different. I think the rumours of Kat selling are not helping. I detect a corrosive uncertainty stalking the corridors, locker-rooms and training pitches. I don't think it is all down to Puel and he should certainly be allowed the season at least, and preferably a second after a proper pre-season. Unless we nosedive and need emergency surgery in early-mid March.

Thank you (this looked more like the Alps Vs Always SFC and Gunnery Thread....)

Any news from the game perchance?

are we 2 up now?

Alps needs to call for Puel's head a couple more times

Good

legend has it that Puel did I think?

Redmond needs to justify the Henri tag...today a good a day as any to start.

You must be possessed of the patience of Job if you are prepared to wait for Puel to come good.

He's a troll.

are you Always SFC in disguise?

Has Puel fallen out with the players? Seem like a possible explanation for this crap.

Poor. I am going back to reading about WW2 naval engagements.

Important game.

Both of us know perfectly well what we are talking about. She is leading us out of the Tower of Babel now, whatever her pre-ref campaigning position.

Thank you for the link. 'ageing team that lacked mobility at Southampton...' sound like we played a bunch with zimmer frames.

It's not worked out well for Koeman Everton or Southampton so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

at this rate the only player anyone will be interested in from the current crop is VVD. Normally it is 4 or 5 in the frame to go.

Mrs May and her Government disagree, which is precisely what the Supreme Court Appeal is about.

Storms on the horizon and the sun setting on Puel's reign.

Europe League is the zenith of what we can hope to achieve and indeed win (Champions League is a pipe-dream, forget that). Why then throw the Europa campaign with weakened teams and negative tactics? We spent all the last 2 seasons in the Prem grafting in order to achieve Europe, then just treat the competition with contempt. There is a certain futility about the Kat and Les "Southampton Way" that does not sit well with me, despite the apparent success of the last 7 years.

Very poor

Oh no!

Miracle on?
