+1 Money could of been better spent elsewhere...like Michu, Curtis Davies, Bassong, Turner etc

Agreed but I tend to look for ones that stand out from the rest, Cropper and Reeves did, Man Utd number 10 did. I am not being too hard on Mayuke as he had very little support or quality pass ...Lee as others have said was abysmal I wonder if the injuries he has had have diminished what talent he had - he certainly didn't want any physical stuff.

Fair enough football is about opinions I just didn't think our centre halves looked like that is a natural position - having played that position myself only at Hampshire league level though they to me looked as they it was all reactive rather than reading it and positioning themselves for it. Mayuka is all about pace ...how many passes or through balls did he get? I could count them on one hand the rest were just lumped up to him or last resort after going backwards and sideways 5-10 times every move. For either Lee or Mayuka to be effective they need either flick ons from a big forward or quick early balls through from midfield or defence...they had neither last night.

Kept us in it first half made 3 or 4 good saves - poor kicking though. Light years ahead of Forecast.

I agree with that but Stephens is a converted right back and never a centre half - do we actually have many in the club? Macheda was as bad as Tadanari if that was possible. The service to Mayuka was abysmal no wonder when he got it he just ran at them. We pass it backwards and sideways so much we dont know what to do going forward. Man Utd goal came from a needless backwards pass that put Turnbull under pressure when we had other options forward. I understand the need to keep the ball but we didnt do anything with it when we had it...sideways and backwards is all we did.

Royal family blanket news coverage...now Kate is up the duff thats all we will hear now for the next week!

keeper with the most saves is Al Habsi.....that well know footballing nation Oman!!

Family...or more to the point hers....why are her's so bleeding difficult, impossible and in need of a slap....things I can't really do despite everyone agreeing one of them needs it badly!

You don't rate Friedel then...a US foreign import?

That was a guy named Barry who also used to do the kit at the Dell as well - I was in hospital with him in the early eighties.

I think the Welsh are in trouble.....baah

No it doesn't really does it..... now this does

Just wait until he does Man Utd/City/Liverpool or Arsenal the hatchets and knives in his back will return.

I think most people felt that Clattenburg had been harshly treated - I listened to that idiot Mick Dennis from the Express this morning on SSN who was praising Clattenburg for his fitness and saying he made less mistakes than Saints goalkeeper! Well if he had watched him he would of seen that most of his decisions were made so far from the action they were a joke...for both sides. Gaston got a free kick after he slipped and fell against Bassongs knee! My lad does a lot of reffing and it was something we both mentioned how far from play he was.....of course the 2 walking specsavers adverts as assistants didn't help!

Its for when the bailiffs move in and take over and reposses Staplewood on behalf of all the contractors.

My dad was captain of them in the 50-60's had a picture of him holding the Hampshire Cup I think.

Was brilliant to finally here some people talk about him failing here and not just about his success at Skatesville and Spurs - fair play to Gary Linekar on MOTD

Well going by his performance in the game I don't think he could see that far.

He cocked it up with missing a handball then booked Fonte for a nothing challenge.....to make it up to us Gaston fell over and he gave us a free kick...complete rubbish.

Wasn't that long ago someone on here said that under Wotte and JP we would stay up....at that time it was posted Antonio was playing better than Puncheon. Now they are not on the same planet talent wise. Puncheon has turned his game around.

Aren't most football chants?? The worst has to be that Pompey fan on a string I cringe everytime I hear that!

Can I clear up it wasn't booing...it was Luuuuke....its like the chant for Luke Donald the golfer.

Apologies should of been on match thread

Danny Fox not in the #SaintsFC squad today. Just seen him milling around the St Mary's reception #PAsoccer
