So what Input did the fans have when Lowe was here? I seem to remember you used to slag him off too. I see we've got a 'you can say what you like about Lowe but at least he had a tellrupert@saintsfc.co.uk email where we could talk to him' type thread going on.

Don't worry, they'll console themselves by framing a picture of the final league table this season and putting their 8th placed finish where their cup winners medal might have been.

It was like that long before the Liebherrs were here just like most other clubs.

Good job you're online now to raise the level then isn't it. Oh no wait, just whinging as usual

That was just an example of the things he could have done. Dropping Wanyama into centre back and bringing on Cork and go 3 at the back was another option. The point being there were lots of things he could have done to shake things up and go for the equaliser,bringing on a kid to make his debut and taking off our most creative player when you're 1-0 down with 10 minutes to go is not an option you'd take if you were busting a gut to make the quarter final. I don't buy that the tank was empty, what difference does 10 minutes make? Lallana said himself it was our biggest game of the season, I doubt he'd have been too pleased coming off if this was truly the case.

If it had been a draw yesterday and the ball had been Sunderland or Southampton would the draw still have been to play Brighton or hull? It's all very confusing this.

We'll usually when you want to win a game and are 1-0 down with 10 minutes to go you go for broke and throw the kitchen sink. He could have brought Fonte on, pushed Clyne up and gone 3 at the back, he could have brought cork on, pushed Lallana and Rodriguez further up and gone 4-3-3, there were plenty of things he could have done but taking off our most creative player and giving a kid his debut was the one of the last things you'd have thought he'd have done

It was almost as if for anyone that wasn't sure MP didn't care about yesterday's game he decided to take off our most creative player and give a kid a debut just to make sure they knew.

And bringing him on for Adam Lallana with 10 minutes to go when trailing 1-0 was one of the most baffling decisions I've ever seen.

If you know anything about the game then you can see that Wanyama has two options, either make a strong tackle or hold his ground, allow gardener to have the ball but stand up and stop him having a free run at goal. Instead he dangled his leg at the ball allowing gardener to take it past him easily and then hit what was a great strike. Wanyama stands his ground that doesn't happen. Take nothing away from the strike but you are right Charlie, he should have done better. Not sure what ollallana is on about but then there's nothing unusual about that.

Rubbish. In any case If he couldn't reach It then he stays on his feet and stops gardener getting a run at goal. It was a fantastic strike but it was sloppy defending and a half arsed tackle.

It was a very poor challenge, was it not?

Don't think so mate. Last counts for most recent Stalkers Shurlock 6 out of last 7 post about me, fantasising about me sucking off another poster on valentines day NIckG - name check on an OP and inventing opinions I don't have and posts I've never made. Compared to One post about BTF which is a FACT in about my last 200. Keep 'em coming

This.

So were going to match our best finish since the top flight was given a new name 22 years ago. Brilliant. It's not matching anything, unless you believe everything sky feeds you.

BTF hates the Daily Fail (PMSL) and all that it stands for. Or maybe not.

So anything pre 1992 doesn't count in our history?

Craig maskell?

' Match our best ever premier league finish' You do know football existed before 1992 Mikey? We aren't matching anything, we might finish 8th but we aren't matching a best of anything.

No, it it's a fair point don't you think? If you felt strongly enough to name check me in your OP and accuse me of ruining the forum, then evidence of the things you accuse me of must be pretty fresh in your mind and not too difficult to find. I've asked you to back up your accusations yet to constantly refuse too saying 'life's too short' come on,it can't be that difficult.

You don't want to argue yet make an thread openly naming and criticising posters then refuse to back up your accusations with facts?

Well don't make a post and criticise individuals based on fantasy then. If you're going to have a go at me at least back it up with facts, I seemed to important enough to you an hour or so ago when you blamed me for the demise of this forum bit not now when I'm defending myself and asking you to prove your claims. Which is exactly one of the points I've made on this thread. State an opinion then complain when asked to back it up.

These were probably the ones who had birthdays, christening or funerals when we were losing at home to Charlton in the championship which effectively relegated us to l1 or hosting burnley not knowing if we'd have a club in a months time. Of course it's not the lowest time, but I for one think having had a great chance of silverware we've thrown it away due to, to be blunt, apathy from the manager and perhaps a bit of complacency from the players.

So starting a thread moaning about the board is positive, yes? Again it begs the question if that ass your raison de'tre why did I deserve a name check in the OP? Find a negative thread I've started or a thread ice derailed negatively and post the link please, good luck.

Yep. Really struggle to understand why people wouldn't want us to have progressed today and aren't p*ssed off that we threw a good chance of at least a wembley semi final appearance. MP seems to think the Europa league is beneath him and us, but there will be quite a few fans who would love nothing more than at least one season in it. Don't hear too many people that went to Bucharest or hamburg saying it was a waste of time and money.
