BARCELONASAINT

someone turn off the lights at St Marys and put a closed sign up. Another English club sold to a foreign owner clearly only interested in taking as much money out of the club as possible!

this is so depressing, we are at home and no one has any confidence that we could at least scratch together a point let alone a win. Really really sad times. I think i will just avoid football on Sunday and talk to the wife instead.....that's how depressing things have got!

I have it on good authority we are completely ****ed and have said so for the last 3 months. I have it on good authority our board are a bunch of incompetent muppets And I have it on good authority we can all look forward to Championship football next season!

anyone honestly think this deal will come off??

I try so hard to see something positive to grasp hold off and believe that the board know what they are doing BUT every bone in my body tells me they have royally screwed this up big time. 1/ Sticking with a manager who is clearly for everyone to see Inept 2/ Having no real replacements or new blood lined up (MP statement about Walcott last night was frankly depressing) 3/ Heading straight for the Championship yet the board, the manager and the players seem to not care less. 4/ A new owner that either has no cash to inject or seems to have been suckered into believing whatever dear old Ralph is telling him! Depressed!

I really wouldn't take it personally. Most on hear are grateful for snippets and quietly make up their own minds about what to believe and what not to. Some just can't help themselves having a dig at someone else. Don't let them put you of posting. I think the bit you have mentioned about said player having 2 kids will be defining!

I have and I do believe we did contribute to them not playing well. I also believe United are not performing particularly well either at the moment. I'm just trying to be level headed and not get carried away with the performance as we have been downright awful for the majority of the season. It was particularly pleasing to see the players genuinely working for one another and hopefully the manager.[ QUOTE=Matthew Le God;2569822]Have you considered they didn't play well cos Saints prevented them from playing well?

Lets no get carried away by yesterdays result. I will enjoy the fact we went to Old Trafford and came away with a very well earned point. The whole team put in a shift and I thought the defence were determined to shut out United. As well as we played I don't think United were great and appear to be having one of those patches...but we did very well. Now being a keeper myself I am delighted for Alex and am sure a clean sheet at Old Trafford will do his confidence the power of good. I don't mind admitting I was genuinely worried when I saw his name on the team sheet as I have been watching Alex this season and he like Forster has made some howlers and has not looked like an upgrade. He didn't have anything special to do yesterday but he did what we all expect of a goalkeeper and he did it well....confidence for a keeper is such a massive thing and hopefully this will do his wonders. I haven't given up on Forster. There is a very good goalkeeper there but his confidence is clearly shot to pieces and taking him out of the firing line was a good call and a very brave one from MP.

Can't say I know anything about the player but looking at those comments the French fans think we are idiots paying that sort of money for him IF there is any truth to this!

I would snap your hand off right now for 17th because i honestly believe we are going down. This manager is not going to be replaced, the team are not playing for him and have no confidence and we will struggle to attract very decent players as they will see relegation staring them in the face.......17th, yes please!!!!

You are probably right and i have forgotten past sickening transfers.....were any of them as damaging to the club as this VVD saga with Liverpool has been?? Hopefully SFC will show they have quietly been planning for this day for months and will unearth our new fantastic signings as soon as the transfer window opens....i won't hold my breath!

I am 100% in total agreement. I feel betrayed by our club, it sickens me we have let both VVD and Liverpool get their own way. The whole fiasco may well end up with us being relegated and what good then will Liverpools $75 do when it's spent on inferior players and a large chunk of it disappears into the owners bank account.Honesty and integrity are the two things i live by and SFC have shown none. Maybe it's an age thing but after over 45 years of supporting Saints i feel almost done with the club.

stopped watching at half time and i can't blame the travelling fans for booing our own. They have paid alot of money to follow this dross, they are entitled to boo. The only straw i'm grasping is that this will be MP's last game!

I cannot see anything but an embarrassing defeat today. I don't think our players have the stomach for a fight and MP is absolutely clueless. There is no doubt that the majority of Saints fans are completely demoralised by the last 12 months and relegation is becoming a real possibility. I am fed up to my back teeth with the turgid performances BUT the straw that will break the camels back for me will be the sale of VVD to Liverpool...if that is what happens. Any other team i can accept but not Liverpool as the impact the VVD illegal approach has without doubt had a major impact on the players and the club as a whole. The whole saga has been like a cancer slowly spreading throughout our club. If we sell to Liverpool the way i am feeling at the moment then i feel i will turn my back on Saints and do something else on Saturdays.

Totally this in bucket loads!!!

Austin is a complete moron...he will almost certainly get a retrospective ban for that assault on their keeper. It wasn't even cleverly disguised. Ref got no help from his linesman otherwise Charlie would already be off. What the hell was he thinking!

In all honesty i'm struggling to think of anyone that fits the being realistic list at the moment. I don't think we are as attractive a club as we were 18 months ago....I still don't know what our Chinese owners have brought to the table and i'm sure that potentially puts of many managers out there (or do managers we have spoken to know there is no big transfer kitty and it is a case of sell before you buy. If that is the case we will struggle to attract any real names and will always be bargain basement shopping Ala our current manager!) If we sack MP anytime soon then i will be genuinely surprised and genuinely fearful of who we might get into replace him.....and it's not because i rate MP because i don't.

I really don't understand this love fest with Brendan Rodgers. You say it yourself....any muppet could win the Scottish league with Celtic...it's a **** poor league. I totally despise Rodgers and his past remarks after raiding our club of talent (tapping them up) makes him a definite NO!

I will enjoy today's performance and victory and the return of exciting attacking football and worry tomorrow if we have really turned a corner. Without wanting to put a downer on things, that was one of the worst visiting Premiership sides i have seen for a very long time and anything other than a comfortable win would have been criminal.

I watched him towards the end of his time with Celtic and he is exactly the same player now as he was then when he knew his future was elsewhere. He really just went through the motions towards the end of his time with Celtic and he's doing exactly the same now. I hate feeling so negative about a Saints player but i have to say there are 3/4 players in the current squad that i wish was just **** off!

Although Everton are woeful at present it just seem we are even worse and i just can not see a win for us. You need to score goals to win games and you have to be able to keep clean sheets....neither of which we are capable of at the moment. 0-2 Everton and Pellegrino out the door by middle of next week.

Twitter is going well...I've been re-tweeted 14 times already and have re-tweeted everyone i've seen thats posted. Not bad going in first 40 minutes! #PellegrinoMustGo

going by the poll results for the managers head to roll i would have thought 90% of this board would be in favour of this idea and making your voices heard. Personally i think doing what Guan suggests is better than doing bugger all and sitting there with your thumbs up your arse. If MP does not go and go quick we are relegation fodder!

I cannot believe for one moment our new owners have come out and said we are looking to sell anyone....at best someone in the family has been heard to say in conversation that we are not scoring goals and something has to change....suddenly sensational paper headlines all the strikers are up for sale....complete b*l***ks!

Personally i think he will still be around for the home game against Everton and then sacked mid week after that game when we lose to them. It has been the most horrible last 11 months of football with the most inept managerial appointments. It really does beggar belief that this guy is still in charge when it is so clear the players are not playing for him. For gods sake put us all out of our misery and get rid NOW!!
