100% Correct. Playing a right footer at left wing back is dumb. Opposition know they won’t get skinned down the line. Toss decision not taking Bertrand. Sterling total cr*p. Rashford deserved to start rather then him on past performance.

Why not loan him to a premier league team as Chelsea do with their young players? If he’s good enough a newly promoted team surely would give him some much needed top level experience?

He’s done a Karius! Bizarre how they both have stupid wispy beards and top knots, and both have played how they look

Ryan Shawcross, June 20th.

Excuse my footballing ignorance - who the heck are the wires ?? I genuinely have no idea.

For those unable to use google translate.... Karlo Bartolec rested in Zagreb after the second season in Danish Nordsjaelland. Nordsjaelland took third place and secured Euroleague qualifier, Bartolec was the standard player in the team, and after polusezone Dinamo wanted him to the right, but 2.5m euros was too much compensation he had to pay to the Danish club. I met Bartolce at one of Zagreb's cafes, he approached me kindly to greet me, so I was caught up in Denmark. What is their league? - I've been well in Denmark, the league is stronger than ours and much more professional. I play the right bend, and the more often and the right wing, depending on the formation. We took third place and won a performance in Europe, which is very important to me. Did you say that you will return to Croatia in Dinamo? - There were some contacts in the winter break, my club sought a $ 2.5 million reward that was not acceptable to Dinamo, and at the same time the manager had a bid from French Nantes so we agreed to stay until the end of the season. Has it paid off? - It is good that I have stayed, the club has won for Europe, and Southampton has expressed a very serious interest. Who represents you in negotiations? - The club manager was very busy with Nantes talk, and now Marko Naletilić has taken over. Has anybody contacted you from HNS for the national team since you left, yet you were a representative of the youth team and did you expect to call Dalić's menu? - No one contacted me, I think they're more closely following the league. Why can the team hope in Russia? - We can go far if we're lucky, we have a good team.

He seemed like a decent bloke. I'm sure the Spanish league will be more suited to his management style, and I wish him well.

Just not as good as our current left back...

Edin Džeko available from Roma? Proper proven PL quality, just the type of target man we need. Him, an experienced centre back and a quick pace winger, job done.

I agree totally with that. McQueen is a bit pacier, taller and just seems to have more to offer Saints. I'd rather keep him than Targett.

Yessssssssssssssssss. Get the f*** in there saints. Mark Hughes - brilliant!!!!

Meant to read “a bottle full of coke” damn autocorrect!!

But they weigh very little, and are unlikely to injure anyone. Whereas someone throwing a bottle os sat coke, weighing 500g can be thrown a long way, with pace, and could probably kill someone if it hit them around their head....

I’ve seen 2 league wins this season - the two West’s... couldn’t make Everton due to work. Two wins all season....simply shocking. I missed Leicester home last season, so Since Christmas 2016 I’ve seen us win 3 home games I think.

Come on Saints, today is the day you simply MUST win. Nothing else will do. Win, and the momentum MIGHT just see us do just enough to dig us out of this hole we are in. Lose - the fat lady will be on the doorstep warming up her vocal chords.... You owe it to us suffering fans to turn in a win - that means no Lemina in the squad please - I saw how much you cared last week, you lazy ***t. Come on Saints...

The only time Saints and Barcelona get mentioned in a thread?! Have a fab time - lovely place to be

Home to West Ham. Our penalty right at the death was dodgy. Yes it was a foul, but soft as, and if it was given against us there would have been outcry... So there is one example in our ‘unfair’ bank...

Lemina yesterday was an absolute insult to the Saints fans. He walked around, didn’t make runs, didn’t run back, didn’t offer himself at throw ins, he did nothing. We were playing with ten with him on the pitch! In a school report it would be:- Potential - 8/10 Actual - 2/10 Effort - 0/10 All players have poor games, but to not actually bother putting any effort in, during an FA cup semi at Wembley? Unforgivable. Hope he doesn’t play for us again. As for the others - wtf was going on in the first half? No wing backs overlapping, we would get a throw and no one offered themselves, no movement, no anything! It was a dreadful first half performance. And people wonder why the fans were so, umm, quiet? Give us something to cheer and we wil....

As a season ticket holder last year I endured the most boring, entertainment free season ever. The Football was absolutely dire at St Mary’s. As it has been this year. Football is an entertainment industry, for two years at home, there has been none. Puel and Pellegrino had us playing boring, turgid, possession without purpose Football. No goals, no enjoyment, no nothing. I watched it, paid to watch it, and myself and the kids hated it. My own eyes saw it and it was sheeite. Those who defend Puel and say we don’t know how good we had it clearly never watched us at home. I did, and my opinion was, and still is, the last two seasons at home have been terrible, valueless tripe. Les Reed and his awful recruitment I realise have not helped either, but yes men managers and lack of balls/steel/direction/ have doomed us to where we are now.

Yes, and Leicester were roundly booed off at the end. I don’t believe Puel will be there next season, they’ll bin him, because, as you point out, the anti entertainment possession football is not popular with the fans...

This is it really. No way we are stealing this. Terrible, dull, performance. No effort, no skill, no running, no anything Dogsh1te. Most of them just don't care. Sums up the club really - owner doesn't care, chairman doesn't care, the useless Reid doesn't care. Woeful.

Davis on, JWP off !! Why?

I will miss the excitement and anticipation of us making a new classy signing, who we all hoped would be the next big thing. None of us had a clue who they were normally, but the hope and expectation normally outweighed reality!! Memories - handing Arsenal their arses on a plate on Boxing Day 4-0, the fab Liverpool at home comeback and Koemans reaction, Wembley and the performance there last season, putting 8 past Sunderland, Manés record breaking hat trick etc No Leeds or Cardiff fans at St Mary’s - total w4nkers the lot of them, sadly about to change... Pochettino and has high press exciting game style, Koemans amazing end of season run. All of the above were amazing memories, and may not be repeated or bettered for a very long time now. To be replaced with:- A sale of almost all of our players so mr silent can get most of his money back. Nutters going on about how brilliant it will be to play academy players and do away with the foreign mercenaries. It won’t be. It will be terrible. Harrison Reed and Gallagher being viewed as the returning saviours- a season of long and deep disappointment awaits if that is next seasons reality. More Sunderland than Villa I rather fear...

Totally agree. The days of a neutral venue, great atmosphere and a great day out Are long gone. Slowly, but surely, football upper echelon greed is eating itself
