Marco Silva. A man who can work quickly and effectively, a man whose teams actually have an identity and a plan and the nearest thing we'll get to Poch-style football. Can get 'big-game' results and is still, bizarrely, criminally overlooked by some of the FotB weirdos on here. Knows how to blood youngsters, too. He'd fit almost seamlessly into the club. Anyway, whatever happens, he'll go on to manage a European superclub in the next few years. We should go all out to get him but I'm afraid Les won't want to admit he made a mistake.

"Sure" He's the least sure goalkeeper I've ever seen at Saints

He gets a lot of sh1t from people but tadic is one player with genuine class. Wouldn't blame him if he went, he'd genuinely excel at a top 6 club

Prediction for next 6 months May 2017 limping finish to 13th June 2017 Bertrand, van dijk, Soares not for sale July 2017 Bertrand, van dijk, Soares sold for 85m in total for offers that 'is a fair reflection of the players market value' and will enable us to reinvest and 'continue to progress and improve the squad' Aug 2017 Bigged up substandard replacements brought in for 50m Dec 2017 the 'Give Claude time and he'll get it right' fascinators have had their time as has Puel. Player status will look disinterested and the style of play still incredibly boring. Saints 18th in Prem, Puel leaves. Meh, guess we'll see. Can't see Saints getting better in time as many others predict

5/1 on hull is massively tempting tho

Too man our James

About 6 shots on target, 4 goals England's no 1 mate Not all his fault tho... such a soft underbelly. Need an Ndiaye, Gueye or Wanyama and have done all season. It'll at least protect our gk so he cdn get rave reviews again

Well according to them, they generate 6m per home game in revenue so another season or two and they'll be able to build their harbour pottydrone

Hull 2-0 been playing with 10 men Marco.........

Seemed to have been an absolute gent as well as an excellent coach and player. RIP Ugo

Thought Stephens has been excellent for a young un today

A new, positive, manager, new Gk and keep van dijk, Bertrand. If that happens, I'll have some hope for next year. We ain't that far off a good side but further than we've been in the last couple of years.

Wouldn't mind us taking a closer look at this lad

Isn't that Romeu's 10th booking?

Big Sam has never lost at SMS apparently.

Marco Silva, eh.

Hi guys, thanks for the recommendations - been a great watch! Slowly getting better been back at work for a week now but still think I should be sitting round watching these. Dunno if I mentioned it but I did watch One Night In Turin - didn't realise how savage our press was back then!

Why hasn't THAT picture been posted yet?

Gents, once again thanks so much for your kind words - does mean a lot, especially when I've had a bit of a bad day like today. I'm kinda thinking on the positive side though; where I am now in comparison to where I was last week is quite remarkable in terms of basic functions. I still can't cut my toe nails or put socks on but I am getting some sleep now and as long as I don't do anything too strenuous, I can pretty much manage the pain. That said though, the residual feeling of hopelessness hasn't abated yet. I guess it's just time that'll heal both mind and body. I hope I'm well enough to go to Iceland next friday, but I do have my doubts. I can't seem to walk around or stand for any length of time without pain - all this despite being jacked up on naproxen, codeine and diazepam. Hopefully, this week will see a bit more progress. Hadn't realised there has been so many people with relatively similar injuries! As I said before, felt quite lonely shuffling around my family and friends whom I didn't really want to engage in chat about my morbid, sorrowful injury. What's been heartening though is the amount of people who seemed to have come through the other side relatively ok, however long it took. Thanks again, all.

and another scores every type of goal....looks handy

just a rumour I heard but he might be in action tonight for MLS side Atlanta.. obligatory YT showreel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMKDEp8kdaM

Gents, thanks so much for your replies really appreciated. I've not personally had an injury of this severity before and to be honest, I feel utterly gutted by it all, wracked with worry (what with the tingles, numbness and pains etc). I've heard that the road to recovery may not even be a full one and that there is no way telling, especially in this formative stage, how long it'll take to heal. I've read that some people have been quite fortunate and were operational and functioning relatively normally within the first 2-3 months, others have said it's taken a lot longer or worse still, they are still suffering after some considerable time. I'm just getting my head around the fact that it could be a while for me - and I'd never thought I'd say it but to not be at work has been an absolute nightmare; mentally, as I'm not engaging with people, just sitting around and lattery because of the immobility factor. It all feels a bit lonely at the moment and whilst it is nowhere near the levels of pain I had last friday, it's still excruciating at times and has me doubled over. Heat/Cold treatment seems to work fairly well, but like everything, it's a temporary solution before the aggravation and pain kicks in again. It's weird; I've never been a position where it's agonising and long-winded to dress myself, shower, eat and sleep and have taken those necessary but innocuous things for granted all these years. I'm pretty sure I'll be pretty darn more appreciative of being able-bodied if/when this eventually settles down. I take it no-one here had surgery? Obviously that's a route I don't want to go down but the most frustrating thing is I cannot even be put in for an MRI until at least 6 weeks since it unfolded. Sadly, my BUPA doesn't cover diagnosis so I'll either have to wait or stump up the cash to go private for that (which I might do as I'd rather know what I'm up against for definite as opposed to continue to have osteopathic treatment and/or take medication for the incorrect problem and potentially do more damage than good.

Seeing as I'm pretty immobile at the moment, does anyone have any decent football documentary recommendations? Just watched one night in Turin - didn't realise how savage the English press used to be! Oh... and anyone seen this one yet? https://youtu.be/CWxEFaeaGd8

Hi all Just wondering if any of you've slipped a disc in your neck before and how you coped with it? Currently in day 7 of this quite extraordinarily painful situation and I'm chomping at the bit to get back to normal life as I'm meant to be going to Iceland next week for a holiday. Barely slept all week but picked up some diazepam today and that seemed to knock me out pretty good as well as help with relaxed my tenses shoulder. That said, the whole lack of mobility and comfortless existence is still taking its toll. Additionally, had done work done by an osteopath which helped immensely, though within a few hours I was doubled over again. Any ideas on timelines on these things? (From personal experience)... any advice gratefully received

Anyone got the latest saves-to-shots ratio? Unless we've been letting in worldies all season, I'm pretty sure our no.1 is the worst in the PL by a country mile.
