Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Today is a must win game. Why have we not got a striker in the starting 11?

Starting a must win game with no striker in the starting 11 is questionable to say the least.

The activity of the club in the January transfer window just looked like the actions of a club who have one eye on The Championship. Cut costs, get the kids used to first team football ready for next season. :-(

Not a chance!

It's not just the last couple of games. Look back through the season and the amount of points dropped from a winning position. We have the worst record in the league. It just shows a lack of fitness. Players get tired and lose focus. We're a ****ing joke.

Deserve to go down after that. Another injury time goal conceded. How the **** do you equalise in the 91st minute and still lose? Face facts, We are ****ing ****. The sales of some experienced players in Jan just makes it look like we have one eye on the Championship and we were offloading in preparation for the inevitable.

What happened to Ings? Injured, I guess? Had a sneaky feeling this would happen after we failed to bring a striker in on deadline day. We're looking incredibly weak upfront.

Crouch will score the winner.

He will if we don't stay up.

We've got to beat Derby first.

At half time I saw that we were 2 up, down to 10 men and naturally feared another draw or even a defeat. The team who've dropped 15 points from leading positions against the team with the best comeback record in the league made for a nervy second half. What a performance. As others have said, how he got that performance from that group of players is unbelievable. A couple of solid additions and players coming back from suspension and injury and we 'should' be fine.

I'd love us to go there, get 3 points and spell the end for Puel. Sadly I've not got a good feeling about this one with all the injuries & suspensions.

Desperately need to win this one. Sadly I don't see it happening. No, Ings, Obafemi, Yoshida, PEH, and doubts over Bertrand & Austin. We're screwed if we're relying on Long up front.

Because he wants to leave?

The breakdown story would make sense. You don't become a poor keeper overnight and find yourself going from 1st to 3rd choice. The guy kept 10 clean sheets in a row when he came back from injury. Yes he had a good defence in front of him, but I do feel that some of the criticism aimed at him has been a bit uncalled for.

It wasn't pretty but who cares. That's a great result. Such a shame that after such a performance they've dropped back into the bottom 3. Still, plenty to be positive about. If they keep playing like that we'll be fine.

Normal service resumed. 1-0 up and lose 2-1. Honeymoon period is over.

Think he'll be off in Jan.

If this story is true then he may as well go now.

Definitely.

If you go right back, Ranieri rejected us and took the Greece national job. I saw an interview with him where he said it was the biggest mistake of his career.

WTF is that line-up all about?

Mark Hughes. He's gone crying to the press saying that he feels he's unfairly bearing the brunt of the criticism labelled at the managers of the Premier League's bottom clubs. Is he for real? Saints have won 1 game all season. His criticism is entirely justified. Now **** off you ******.

All I wanted for my birthday was to wake up and find out that Hughes had been sacked. Ahh, well. :-/

RIGHT, THAT'S US OUT OF THE CUP, CAN WE SACK HIM NOW? PLEASE!!!
