You're right I did. But I also said that it was against my better judgement and he deserved to be judged at the end of the season. I also said that it was due to the whispers i'd heard he'd lost senior members of the dressing room and when that happens its a case of when and not if. IIRC that poll was also done right towards the end of poor run of results, we'd just lost at home to West Brom, been thumped by Spurs and Everton so that probably influenced the vote as per my comments above I didn't vote out because we were supposedly playing boring football. You're right, hindsight is a great thing, in hindsight over the course of the season Puel did a decent job in difficult circumstances. I later said that I thought he should have got another season but of course you wont desperately try to find posts from over two years ago saying that because it doesn't suit your agenda.

Nice rewriting of history, as there has been a lot with Puel era. Mongboard myth becomes fact doesn't it. As for you any you obviously don't know what you're on about as we didn't lose to Be'er Sheeva, you cant even get the name of the team right! If people actually bothered to look at the games rather than jumping on the Puel was boring bandwagon, they'll see it was far from what the make out. If we had a striker who could stick the ball in the net we'd have handed Milan their arses in the San Siro, we absolutely battered them for an hour, missing about 5 or 6 great chances that we really should have scored. Was the league cup final like having your toenails pulled out with a rusty pair of pliers? or the wins home and away against Liverpool, away at Arsenal, home to Milan, Prague, away at Sunderland, Watford, West Ham. There were a lot of games where we did play some very good stuff, in fact the fact of the matter the time the football arguably was dull was when he had to play the worst pair of centre halves in the league after Van Dijk got injured and Fonte got sold and not replaced (blame the board for that one). Yes there were some dull games, but there were some dull games under Koeman too. On a like for like basis didn't Koeman set up with a very defensive, long ball style away at Midtjylland? The only difference being we did actually lose that one. People make out week in week out we were playing brilliant attacking football under Koeman scoring a hatful of goals every week, they forget how truly terrible we were away at Norwich, Palace, Bournemouth etc and at home to Stoke, Everton, Sunderland (2nd season he was here, clearly) and so on. At one point after a dreadful run of form around christmas some fans wanted him out. Puel got the results he did after having our two best sources of goals in Pelle and Mane sold and replaced with Austin who spent half the season injured and Redmond and Boufal, neither of which delivered. Our best defensive midfielder was sold and replaced with Hojberg who still even now isn't a nailed on starter. Then to cap it all our best defender missed half the season with injury, our other one was sold and not replaced and our leading goalscorer missed 4 months of it. Puel was by no means perfect but there is a hell of a lot of rewriting of history when it comes to his time here. To be blunt fans didn't like him from day one because he wasn't Koeman and because they wanted a bigger name (that's another argument) and that's what it came down too. They moaned about his interviews, they moaned about his tactics and formation and now people talk a lot of sh*te about how boring we were to watch when if people actually took the performances over the season and the circumstances he had to deal with rather than they'd realise he actually did a very good job.

Harry Redknapp has unfinished business with this proper football club.

I'm worried because our team is sh*t and our owners, chairman and board are a bunch of c*nts.

I think that a ticket stub from a saintsv Coventry game over 30 years ago is probably the most random item I’ve ever seen anyone search for and I confidently predict that in ten years time you will still be looking for the item I wish you well in your search and hope You are succsssful

Trust me my friend in my next sortie into Krugerland I’ll be lauding it up on the Porcini ravioli. Washed down with a crisp fiano my partner and I couldn’t think of a more appetising starter to proceed a main course of premier league soccerball. As we mulled over the current excellent state of our corporate governance We made sure that we said a world of Thanks to Mr Kruger for making our match day experience second to none.

I thought it was fantastic. It’s great that the club are moving to the future with a nod to the past. Anyone who knows their history will know that st marys was built on an old gas works site and many of our supports will have ansestors who work on this site so to be able to reminisce about days and family from another era whilst enjoying the fine and extensive range of food stuffs availabable in comfortable surroundings is wonderful. My partner and I arrived there two hours before the game and was pleased to see prices reasonable enough to provide value for money but high enough to keep out the riff raff. Very few bloated, shirt wearing fans talking inane drivel, I was happy to see the clientele was more like a mid market wine bar with hopefully the lower end of our fan base will remain in city centre public houses glugging on pints of carlsberg. After enjoy a finally grilled burger and three Hendricks and tonics we took our seats in the itchen stand to take in the excellent prematch display of lights and pyros. The game itself was highly entertaining and on at least 4 occasions I was compelled to applaud the efforts of the Southampton and Brighton players. It’s wonderful the club are doing so much to improve the match day experience for the customer base and more evidence Of the incredible job Mr Kruger is and his team are doing. Mr Gao will be delighted with his investment. I for one will be returning very soon.

To be blunt the bar was very low to improve on Pellegrino. Hughes is an upgrade which is more than can be said for most of our business since 2016 but that’s not saying much. Our ambition now is to stay in the premiership whilst returning a profit from transfers and given his previous Hughes is probably The man for the job. Tonight was quite Entertaining despite the inevitably of Brightons soft goal five minutes after our second then their late equaliser, it played out exactly as the tv cameras would want it. Shanghai leisure Holdings have nailed it. Not quite ****e enough to go down and entertaining enough to make dull games for The TV audience worth watching. This season will prove to be a triumph for the business that we are now, China will applaud our plucky, small club status of battling to beat the odds. Fans over here will celebrate clinging onto our premier league status and we will go again next summer, Spending just enough to survive, returning a profit to the board and some corporate marketing “we march on” bull**** propaganda to make all our fans think we really do want to do well but it’s just so so tough these days.

I'd definitely start with Gallagher. He spent two season in the championship being a below average striker failing to score regularly so I think he has every chance of making the step up to do that in the premier league, he could slot seamlessly into the role the injured Shane Long plays for us.

It wasn’t that long ago some of our fans were proclaiming “champions league or nothing!” The league cup and the FA Cup was beneath us in those days. They all wanted a 4th placed finish rather than actually winning something, incredible. As you say there is some truth in the article, the premier league is like all the other major leagues in Europe Harlem globetrotters v Washington generals. In the premier league we are all cannon fodder for the big boys. We are all meant to stand back admire the brilliant vision of 20 yard passe whilst the sky pundits tell us how amazing it all is. There is a lot wrong at saints and has been for s couple of years so we haven’t helped ourselves but the game isn’t set up for clubs likes saints to succeed and the people running the game don’t want us too.

Fulham and wolves are the new Stoke, we should all wish we were them, yes?

Two wins this season both away from home 2018 calendar year in all competitions 5 away wins 2 at home Any wonder we are so bad at home with our whinging moaning fans, sarcastically cheering our players, polite applause or sitting in silence.

Is it still the Corriander Lounge? Or with memberships down due to all good posters who don't bother any more and you can see why has budget dropped to Giddy bridge curry nights levels?

You can’t always get what you want You can’t always get what you want You can’t always get what you want But you whinging mongs will find You got what you deserve

When Kurger said we're a small club in the premiership ohh words cant describe how we feel when he's talking sh*te We gotta sell to buy we post record profits all the time that's why we sing this song for the corporate governance at Southampton

Which part of the momentum curve were we on here pal? https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?43615-Team-playing-well-under-Pochettino-MYTH&highlight=Glasgow+Saint

The new Yohann Folly

How’s the new Bobby Moore getting on at Fulham? Heard he had a shocker last week. Still going to every game Home and away, every concert there is going on whilst living in 25 other countries? Still idolising blokes in their mid to late twenties who don’t care if you are alive and if they were to ever meet you would Ignore you anyway? I guess Tadic will be the next one who you slagged off every week but now he’s gone has become a player we were absolutely stupid to sell.

No, I thought Puel should have got another season. As I know in the past you’ve spent hours searching through my posts across this and other forums to try and prove a point I’ll caveat that by saying it is possible that I may have had a rant about him after one or two games so there may be a post or two that says that. But there are plenty of others where I say we should stick with him for another year and that was and still is my view. As for heisingberg, I’m not saying it’s the fans fault I’m saying they’ve got what they deserve. As you’re the one who used to “hilariously” nickname Pochetino “Pinocchio” and often use his win percentage as a stick to beat him with (under the Glasgow saints login) then forgive me for not giving a f*ck what you say.

You have got the club you deserve Most of you lot of never stop whinging and moaning. If it’s not the team it’s the board, not the board it’s the manager, not the manager it’s the half time refreshments, PA system, queues for beers. Griffi is right, we have the most pathetic, softest, passionless fans in the country. Most people that go to games sit there in silence politely applauding. Others spend the entire game whinging and slagging players off. Only a handful actually get behind the team and give them any support. Look at the treatment of Pelle, quality striker for £8m capable of 15 goals a season, no mean feat i the premier league. Yet he was slagged off, Ironically cheered, said he was lazy and flounced around, hibernated between October and March, as soon as he went he becuae exactly the sort of player we needed ??? In truth last season was the first time anyone has had anything to complain about. People moan about Puel but the fact of the matter was it was on paper it one of our best seasons ever, 8th places finish, cup final, trip to Wembley, the San Siro, Prague and Israel all done playing half the season without our best defender and striker. Yet still people *****ed and moaned and wanted Puel out after only a few games because they didnt like his interviews. ??? You many have a right to moan now but reading this forum and going to matches it seems like a lot of you wanted this anyway so you could be proven right about Kruger and Reed. All we’ve heard for the last 4 years, even in Some of the best times this club has ever had, is how useless they are and it’s all going to come crashing down, well now it is, so you should all be pleased. You warned about it and you deserve it. Most of you don’t deserve a successful club. You ain’t saints fans you’re football consumers.

Perhaps we should flip things and ask women what they bring to the game. As I can’t see it.

I see Lazio ultras have fired the first shots to rid the game of what has become the new English disease. How would this go down at st marys? Let’s be blunt must women at st marys are vile specimens, outright disaster of human beings. The single ones are Usually fat and stupid, Struggling to even get basic things right like the name of players, in our league one days some thick bint behind me insisted Rickie Lamberts name was actually Rich Lampard. Or at least she spent the whole season screaming it in her badly fitting sash shirt. Fat embarrassing scruffy geezer birds who to blunt don’t deserve a ticket. Then there are the ones on the pull. Get all dressed up and hang around in pubs before and after games thinking foootball is a good pulling ground. Generally better looking than the type above but still pretty clueless About what’s going on on the pitch, more interested In leering over Shane Long not admitting he is arguably a slightly better looking Brett Ormerod. Finally there are the girls in a relationship. So dense and insecure they can’t imagine what it’d be like to spend an afternoon away from their fella. Rather than letting him Enjoy an afternoon with his mates they tag along whinging and moaning, trying to hold His hand or put their head on his shoulder, tuttting about him being aggressive or laddy when he wants to join in a chant. Personally I think any bloke who lets his bird come to a game with him is a massive lemon anyway so we could probably do wth getting shot of them too. So perhaps we should look at banning couples too but that anothe battle got another day. I applaud our lazio brothers for their actions and hope the WOOF (Women Out Of Football) movement gathers momentum

Redmond has the talent but he doesn’t have the temperament, at the moment. Gets frustrated very quickly, influenced by the crowd and suffers from confidence issues. One moment summed him up a while back. He did well to beat a player had two or three chances to use the ball the crowd got on his back and he clearly got annoyed and end up smashing the ball ten yards straight at one of the opposition losing possession. There is definitely a good player there but they need to do a lot of work with him around his decision making and mentality.

When he said people that rate him are ones who have probably never kicked a ball before he was talking about people like you pal.
