Personally I think used properly claise could have been a good player for us What a sorry list that’s is though. Two players who at one time were record signings, others who at on point had got a first team call up, made an impression and then never been picked again. Reed, Sims and Mqueen surely couldn’t do any worse than some of the helmets we’ve spent millions on?

Another one we’ve missed out on. FFS Les. Oh wait......

That is gammon coloured It’s a chance for a bit of virtue signalling and everyone to show how lovely they are by liking and retweeting how wonderful it is. You can say what you like about Kruger but at least he remembers trannies get killed

First Trannie player? Fernando Torres always had a look about him

the main poster as you describe him had his tongue up Alex Crooks arse for years so i'd take anything he says with a pinch of salt. Although he seems to have grown out of his old habit of seeing things on twitter than trying to pass them off as his own news.

Nordic Saint has just ejaculated.

In terms of sh*tness this is up there with “look like a wotsit” “small town in city/villa” “Paulo di Canio, he’s such a *****o” and “steeeeeeeeeve” It’s only redeeming feature is its from the 80s so quite retro but just goes to prove even in the halcyon days of terrace wit saints fans still excelled at monginess at times.

In 2018 we have a higher net spend on Richard Scudamore than we do on our own players

Just wait until the Lepzig one which will just be about Paul Mitchell.

The premier league Have listened to Charlie Austin he speaks for all premier league clubs This shall now be known as Charlies rule.

"There is an opportunity now, what I call a space, and we will move on into that space now and make it an opportunity" What an absolute clown.

He didn’t take over from Cortese Are people really that dense that they don’t know what job Cortese did?

It feels like small part of Southampton FC died today. The remaining element of our incredible journey from League one to Europe packs his bags and says adios. He has been the fulcrum of all things football in his time here giving this club some of the greatest times in our history. It's a sad day and with all disasters I have done the only thing to do at this time and change my facebook profile picture to show my support of Les.

Sad day for the club and football as in general. The man who built this club up from languishing in league one, behind our rise to the top top 6, cup finals, European football, the signings of Mane, Van Dijk, Bertrand, Steven Davis, building our academy up. He has been as important to this club as Ted Bates, Lawrie Mac and Le Tissier. I'd like to see the club honour him in some way like naming the canteen at Staplewood after him.

Are these the same wan*ers who didn’t back Puel and Pellegrino either?

He was sacked by Newcastle because they thought they could do better than Allerdyce and didn't He was sacked by West Ham because they thought they could do better than Allerdyce and didn't He was sacked by Everton because they thought they could do better and Allderdyce and haven't (yet) On each occasions the fans were up in arms about the style of football and on each occasion the manager who replaced him did worse than him. Current flavour of the month has taken faliure, crap Big Fat Sams team form 8th to, err 9th, at the moment. Doesn't it all sound familiar..... He was sacked by England for non footballing reasons He is good at what he does, which is get the best out of average players and keep teams up. If your ambitions are just to stay in the premier league then he's probably the best man in the country to do that job. Not for one minute i'm saying i'd want him at Saints but to say he is a failure and a crap manager is pure and utter nonsense. However, his ability seem to match out ambitions so I wouldn't for one second be surprised to see him in the dug out at St Marys sooner rather than later.

I read earlier City are looking to set a club record of 7 consecutive clean sheets, meanwhile a blank for us will set a club record of 6 consecutive games without a goal. What happens when a stoppable force meets an immovable object?

Currently unemployed too which means he’ll be on Les’s secret file of managers he’s tracked for years

We MUST play two up front. Oh wait....

Unless there are some drastic changes from top to bottom at this club very soon even if we stay up this season it’s only delaying the inevitable. Reed, Wilson, probably Hughes and about half the squad need moving on. We have a losing mentality at the club right now, for that to change it’s going to need more than a simply changing the manager again.

Pretty much what you said to be fair. You’re one of the few people on here that appears to know what you’re on about. We have to play with 3 in midfield, the only tweak I’d make to your team is give Gabbadini and start of the left of a front 3, a friend of mine is a Napoli fan and said he looked his best there for them. I think we should go all out to get Gary Cahill in January. Even at this stage of his career he’s better than anything we’ve got and would give some much needed experience and leadership to the back 4.

I thought the geniuses on here told us playing two up front was going to fix all the problems?

It's been said before but the familiarity with our decline now and our decline 2003-2005 is striking. We peaked with a European campaign and a narrow cup final loss. We sold off our best players and replaced them with squad fillers, resulting in us having a big squad full of players of the same, average level. We had a leadership team that believed they had the magic touch and oozed arrogance and complacency and we went through a succession of managers each one worse than the one before it (Perhaps Hughes is a better manager than Pellegrino but as things stand his record is worse). It really is quite remarkable that history could repeat itself. in fact if we go down this season it will be exactly the same time period of two season between 8th place and a cup final to relegation the last time it happened.

Shane Long provided me with one of the highlights of my saints supporting career. IIRC the game v Chelsea and when running through on goal at pace, a relatively tight angle and not far from goal with the keeper advancing it seemed a very difficult chance to score. he then produced what on first instance appeared to be an outrageous piece of skill, appearing to somehow lob the keeper and get enough dip on the ball for it to clear Courtois and his outstretched arms yet come back down and hit the top the bar, it appeared to be a magnificent attempt and cruelly denied a great goal. However on second viewing he'd actually slipped, miskicked the ball which had then hit his standing foot and looped into the air over the keeper onto the bar.

As former leader of the famous DEF, Europes most notorious hooligan firm, I can confirm I have been in numerous one sided fights and always ironed out any of the opposition with the rest of my crew. I have since hung up my Stone Island jumper and now, such was our reputation, an away day is more likely to revolve around posing for photos and signing autographs for wannabe hooligans at other clubs. I can exclusively reveal for the first time that I was due to star in The South Coast edition of Danny Dyers real football factories however this was pulled at the last minute due to Sky believing it was an embarrassment to all the other firms that had appeared in the programme.
