AVB failed at Spurs, failed at Chelsea so are you guys hoping it's third time lucky? Common sense says surely he just ain't good enough for the Premier league.

A measured and very well thought through argument. No doubt the literary world will relish this gem of articulation and balanced reasoning.

Gus Huddinck, who else. Best option by miles.

So what is the basis for your wild accusation that the board have not been backing Koeman thus far? How could that be true when Koeman was the driving force for many of our new recruits last summer and in January? You seem to have forgotten how many of our first choice palters have come form the Dutch league or other leagues where Koeman has managed and experienced these guys up close. Best not to speculate based on guess work and prejudice. The days of Lowe are long behind us.

you couldn't make it up!

As many mistimed jokes as mistimed tackles?

So Mr X on the whole you think we have a pretty crap set of players. Still fingers X'd we'll sign a couple more lads in the summer who will drag us down even further :-(

There IS nobody better!

He's the only one with the key to the executive loo and he's not telling, otherwise why else would they treat him so well? No brainer.

I have no idea who either of you guys are but having had to endure your endless *****ing and bickering at each other season after season, most of us would suggest you kiss and make up and get on with the more constructive debating process of sensible commentary on the fortunes of our football club. Tedious indeed.

Like the man said pretty much impossible, it ain't going to happen whether you like to hear it or not.

We could start next season as favourites at this rate.

Yep! It needs a 6 year contract to keep them here for 2 years? You couldn't make it up. Hopefully what he meant was a couple more years longer than he first thought.

Wanyama next please.

Totally agree. The officials completely bottled it last night. The Dembele incident was outrageous Costa or no Costa and the lino funked it.

Are you sure, when it comes to the small matter of a new contract he doesn't seem to have a clue. Perhaps it's all down to Dave Watson after all?

Mane is a Southampton player with two years left on his contract so he'll not be allowed to leave this summer. Besides if Koeman is put in the position of having to rebuild from scratch for a third time in succession he'll be so hacked off it will prove impossible to get his signature on a new contract. Most of all this summer he and we want stability, any reconstruction work should be above ground.

Simply because he has failed to learn enough English to do so.

Bit of a bummer for PSG 'though if they got stuck with him.

A win is a win and there are only three points on offer. If you win you improve your GD automatically.

and Forster of course!

Nothing at all in Koeman's comment, he was only speculating about what might need to happen should we lose one or two players. At no time did he suggests we would lose them. He was answering a question about OC coming here and he sort of implied we probably don't need him if everyone stays.

Perhaps Terry Paine will fancy 15 minutes - he could wear tights to hide his wobbly knees.. only joking Tel!

Only the Itchen on sale but not Block 7 as reserved for Old Pals presumably. Anyway I snapped up two at the Ticket Office this morning. Long queue (7 people) so get up there quick if you don't want to miss out!

Far too academic, regular fans are surely qualified to judge what they see in front of them. It is not about how good you looked at Staplewood on Thursday in an us v them kickabout it's about how good you are on the pitch on Saturday against people who are not your friends and its all a bit nastier. Even coaches are not clairvoyant.
