Sorry but he does deserve some of the blame. He has been here a year and is none the wiser as to what his best XI is or what system to play. That said, there isn’t much out there who would do better but he needs to start showing some progress or the owner will get an itchy finger.

Over the years I have been involved in a few London gatherings held at the Famous 3 Kings pub next door to West Kensington station. The 2nd leg playoff defeat to Derby (was it really 12 years ago?!) we must have got around 50 Saints fans there. The atmosphere was unbelievable.

Paul Pogba is shocking. Shame we aren’t a better side we’d have punished him at least twice by now if we were.

I believe they are staying at Choristers.

No we don’t.

Great result but Redmond’s finishing is a disgrace.

I can't buy in to it ruining a club like ours. We must be in rude financial health what with all the player sales and seeming refusal to spend anywhere near a commensurate amount on re-strengthening. What we do have though is a squad full of dead wood who would see playing in the Championship as below them who would agitate for moves. The same players who whilst we are a Premier League club are quite happy collecting their wages and applying minimum effort. A bit like the owner. Keen to reap the rewards of owning a Premier League side but unwilling to do what it takes to progress us. I must admit the hiring of Hassenhuttl makes me think there may be hope for him yet. I don't see why he would have come here unless significant funds were promised to him should he keep us up but until that happens I'll remain sceptical.

Relegation could possibly be the best 5hing to happen to us in terms of ownership. I’m sure having a Championship club doesn’t fit in to whatever vision Gao had for us as his plaything and might convince him to sell. The only concern then is who he decides to sell us to. That said, I’ve done a results predictor for the remainder of the season with extremely conservative results for a Saints and have us finishing 16th above Burnley and with Cardiff taking the final relegation spot.

Wonder how much Cabaye would ask for until the end of season? Desperately need some creativity in the middle of the park .

Paul Williams. Why he was sacked.

That will be the line trotted out no doubt. I have it on good authority (and seem to remember someone on here recently saying something to the same effect) he's quite sure of himself (i.e. bit of a pr*ck) and revelled in our misfortune a few years ago as he is bitter towards us releasing him when he was a kid.

You still haven't put my nephew on the IPad version of FM so I don't hold out much hope for these lads....

Apparently so. Another one he really rates is Leko at West Brom. I think Saints need to be the club that bridges the gap between promising football league talent and the top 6. If we aren't going to compete with the best and have now seemingly accepted our place as a small club, this would be the next best thing for our reputation and to make use of the facilities.

Heard good things about Green. My nephew rates him highly.

Homophobe.

25% apparently...

See I question this. The rot set in whilst Koeman was still here. We still played a similar style of football but we had a difference maker in the ranks in Mane. We still largely played a similar toothless possession based style of football but Mane got his act together in the second half of the season to win his big move away. The only stand out performance up until that point was Arsenal at home on Boxing Day. Before then our results and performances were extremely average.

Some player that Kenedy... bye-bye MoPe... surely no choice now?

Can you imagine if this clown somehow finds a way to win us the FA Cup?!

I'd go with Pochettino as manager. Seemed to really get the squad to buy in to his methods and tactics and appears to be doing the same at Spurs. Players would be Niemi, Alderweireld, Lallana and Mane.

Indeed! But performances and results appear to agree with me don't they? Apparently his stats recently (distances covered, possession recovery, passing accuracy etc..) have all been superior to his counterpart in the first team.

The turn in form and results has been since Rowthorn has been back in the starting XI. He protects the back 4 and allows the likes of Slattery and Hesketh to get forward without leaving gaping holes. I hope the club are beginning to take notice.

Sorry but they are a better side when Rowthorn plays

Isn't he working out a ridiculously long notice period at Spurs in order to move in to management?

So are you in the 'In' or 'Out' camp?
