Pedro

There must be a good reason why he's been bombed out of Swansea, Leeds and now Boro.

As the title states

Surprised it didn't happen earlier.

The Southampton Way - dead, We March On - dead, Black box - dead. Cut the crap and get back to basics. Recruitment isn't working right otherwise there would be a GK to challenge Forster, alternatives to challenge Tadic, Long and Redmond and this manager who is obviously not Prem quality.

Sorry Les, time for a reshuffle and you, Ralph, Watson and Black need to go.

We played boring football under Puel, his post match interviews were painful but we got a day out to Wembley and finished fairly comfortable. I think with MP we've been sucked into a latin named man whose name sounds like Poch and hoping for a replica of him. The players coming off the pitch yesterday were trying to walk past MP going down the tunnel and they looked totally hacked off, rightly so. I'm not in favour of hiring and firing willy nllly but what sensible available manager can we realistically get, I reckon Chelsea, West Ham, West Brom and of course Everton will be joining us in the hunt.

Worrying times with the upcoming games.

With a change of circumstances I can now get to more away games but just can't get high enough up the ladder for sufficient to guarantee me a ticket.

We seem to give away teams far more tickets than we get. Anfield now holds over 50k and we get 1800, this can't be right. Is it our unambitious club only taking the minimum allocation.

Speaks volumes that we haven't sung the names of Puel or Pelligrino, no inspiration on the pitch to warrant it.

Doesn't look a happy camp, players in MP's ear, especially Bertrand and Cedric, Redmond threw a strop when he came off, no high fives or anything like usual, MP seems a bit isolated from his coaches and looks a dead man walking. From my close up seat I would say a lot of division and bad feeling.

Changing managers every time things don't look good isn't the answer, history shows that clubs that keep changing rarely improve. Palace, Blackburn, Bolton, Birmingham etc.

Defoe puts them 2-1 up

Bloody Puncheon will probably score, just our luck.

We've got no goal scoring midfielders, no centre backs getting the odd goal from a corner/free kick, no pacy forwards and poor old Gabby not getting a decent ball all game. I think the stats on Sky just now said we have had 11 shots so far. So disappointed with Redmond, JWP, Boufal etc. maybe we thought a manager with a latin name with Maurico as his first name will emulate Poch.

Puncheon hasn't scored for months, surely he won't against us, will he?

Went to his house once, a smallish modern town house and they seemed a lovely natural family, kids running round outside with dad and wife doing the hoovering. No flash professional footballer image. An interesting read and can empathise with them.

Picture of their flag blowing in the wind, all torn and half shredded, even tators commented on it.

Gabby on bench for Italy

Get MP before the board tomorrow to explain why he selected that team and formation. None of the starting 11 can complain if they are not selected for the first team on Saturday, trying to think if any player scored more that 5 out of 10. Forster must stretch, without jumping, to 8 foot yet him and our 3 centre backs allowed a free header fro a corner. I was really hopeful this manager would push on, let's hope he can improve on the performance pretty quick.

Rail travel seems expensive, any tips please

Not a prediction just worst case scenario, us down and Pompey up. We need to up our game and get some pace up front.

I thought it looks like JWP has bulked up a bit.

I'm not saying anything about it until we get ours and our takeover is as mickey mouse as theirs.

News on Solent this morning saying that no more players in without any leaving, so no apparent investment yet.

My money on VVD to Chelsea, hope I lose. Got 6 or 7 weeks of speculation, just wish he would confirm he is staying, I'm not sure saying nothing is giving a positive message.

An article in the Sun today confirmed that the lifetime tickets were issued by the old club, this is now a new club formed after administration. So along with those lifetime tickets all the history is.................history.
