Please get Stephens and Ward Drose on the next train out of Waterloo. Bertie and Yosh on you moron!

I've not seen any other reports but kinda makes sense with the announcement of Obafemi's new contract. Town not big enough for two of them?

Wow! Like a new signing. Hope it's for at least 5 years.

He's history Nick. Nothing to see here officer.

The short answer is that probably he doesn't but realises that negativity on his part is not going to help matters one jot or tittle. Obviously the board didn't set out to stitch him up but incompetence in the transfer window has scgrewed him. Of course we should never have let experienced players go until the incomings situation was clarified but he may have been in part responsible for that himself such his predilection for having favourites and making up his mind too quickly about players. Now it has turned around and bitten him on the arse he must be wondering how to handle his career going forward with a PL relegation on his CV. He has a lot to learn as well as his players and I hope he is humble enough to accept that.

Same thing really

The BBC are world leaders at nepotism

What! You cannot be serious. Obviously you have never watched Obafemi over the years.

Poor show from you. No need for this sarcasm directed towards one of our ex-players who gave us some good service during his time here.

Mac that is not Crouch just to clarify as I was replying to the previous message.

Only ever saw him as 'hanger on' on the make.

The best guy we ever had at the top was Leon Crouch who was a real fan and put his own money in when we were skint. Nobody talks about him much anymore but boy could we do with somebody with his leadership now. "Ask not what Saints can do for me but what can I do for the Saints" should be the first question asked of any new owner.

A goalkeeper is only as good as the 10 players in front of him (old Finnish proverb).

Saw him in action a few times, certainly a very instinctive and effective goalkeeper in the days when athleticism was not part of a player's portfolio, footballs weighed about a half tonne when wet and moved proportionately slower so hard to judge how he fits in the pantheon of the all time greats. The Pele save did not help us win the world cup sadly but glad that he achieved that goal in 1966. Sad end to his career. RIP

I hope he sits the young kids in a barber's chair and one by one personally shaves off all that stupid facial fungus even if he infringes their human rights. Sims especially looks a right cock and somebody should tell him. What are they hiding from or are they just too idle to get out of bed in the mornings to wash & shave?

Just remember chaps it's only about £4.50 to park for the match in the City Centre car parks.

Of course you are right, it is the elephant in the room when discussing Saints prospects under this manager for next season. Our performance in the transfer market has been woeful for a number of years, not least because we are not an attractive prospect for any incoming players of real merit. We end up with so much dross because these are the only players who will come here. The very idea that we will succeed in bringing in several high quality players who can make a difference to our future prospects in this summer's transfer window is so laughable that it amazes me how many on here blithely promote the idea that such an outcome is at all realistic.

Didn't Hassenhuttl say that if he couldn't keep Saints up then he would have failed in his job and wouldn't expect to stay. Meaning of course that he'd badger off. Let's face it if he can't keep us up then I doubt many on here would want him here anyway?

Yoshi didn't figure until we on here screamed the place down, wonder if we're having the same impact with Bertie? Just saying.

There isn't a single explanation of Ryan Bertrand's absence that cannot be contradicted by other situations other than that Hassenhuttl has a personality clash with the lad. The coach comes across to me as a rules driven bully boy; if you don't conform you're out. My guess Ryan he is being deliberately ****ed off so that he will ask for a transfer in the summer. (check training pics) Gao no doubt sees him as an asset worth £20/24m, not as player with feelings.

Surely we can just say NO, it's a very powerful word when we still have the cash!

Too bloody true and what's more they all add to the bloody wage bill. Perhaps we make more money being a rent-a-mob business?

Good to see him in today's pics. Looks a bit shell shocked, jet-lagged probably but hope he will feature on Saturday. Ryan looks a bit disillusioned, hope he is not losing heart. Please play him at the weekend Alpine Klopp. Another great new signing announced on the O/S today.............. Who he?

For sure if it goes on like this we would be mad to make Ing's loan deal permanent in the summer. This really will be a tough decision for the club as the lad is clearly talented as we saw with his worldie against Arsenal but we just don't have enough money to indulge in sentimentality. Presumably they'll give Carillo & Boufal every chance of rehabilitation before pressing any buttons on Ings. Right now I'd be doing whatever it takes to get Augustin in the summer and let Danny go.

We have to play Bertrand, Yoshida & Hojberg fit or not, injured or not, knackered or not. This is a 12 pointer - win we stay up, lose we go down, draw and we'll all die of boredom. Odds are we'll draw for the 10th time this season. It seems we are finding it nigh on impossible to beat the teams around us home or away which as somebody observed the other day which makes us no better than them in a nutshell. Surely Long has played for the last time? So we're likely stuck with Austin up top, so lots of long aimless balls into the 18 yard area in the hope that he is standing close enough to one to reach it with his head.
