Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

10 & relegated.

Exactly. This is not the answer.

The way I see it is that if all those 0-0 draws had finished 2-2 or 3-3 he wouldn't have been binned off.

Spot on!

What's the problem? Why not have something to help soften the blow? My initial stake was £2.00. I pick 3 games every week where you choose both teams to score and pick the winner. By the end of last season I'd got over a grand in my Paddy Power account. I took most of it out and spent it on gig tickets. I left £100 in, which I lumped on us going down at 25/1. What goes on at the club is out of my control. I'd love to see us top 6, which is what Les Reed & co told us we're were building a team for. However, that wasn't going to happen when the club sell the best players every season. The bubble was always going to burst. If we stay up I'm happy and it's cost me £100 that I never really had. If we go down I get £2500 to go on holiday and try to forget about the awful season. I see it as a win-win situation.

Snap.

Backed us to go down at 25/1 the day Pellegrino was announced. Stuck the £100 balance that had built up from an original £2.00 bet in my Paddy Power account on us going down on the basis that I'd have £2500 to cheer myself up if it happened.

I rate him. I'd be cashing in on FF, problem is that nobody will want him based upon his current form.

Redknapp said something similar. I'm not here to do your homework for you. There's plenty of talk from the pundits about the current state of affairs at Southampton.

Where as Rolf Harris is clearly yours. FWIW, Merson is now saying that he thinks Pellegrino will be sacked if we put in another performance like we did against Spurs.

Quote, Paul Merson "Pellegrino has one of the safest jobs in the Premier league. There's no way Les Reed will want to admit he made a mistake in sacking Claude Puel". He then goes on to say that he thought Puel's appointment at Leicester was a strange one but he's changed his opinion of him as he's having a real go. He also says that it shows that the problems at Southampton were probably player related rather than a management issue.

It'll be interesting to see how he does given that most players that leave us for bigger and better things rarely seem to improve. Of the following players which are better, worse, or about the same since leaving Saints? Clyne - I'd say about the same. Lovren - Worse. Mane - Better. Lallana - Can't call this one. Liverpool fans say he's a better player but I'm not convinced. Shaw - Worse. Schneiderlin - Worse. Wanyama - Better. Alderwiereld - Better.

The pundits don't seem to think he'll be sacked either. They're saying he has one of the safest jobs in the league because Les Reed won't want to admit that he's made a mistake. They're also starting to say that they think we'll be relegated because we don't score goals and we're now leaking goals. Basically the press are saying that the years of selling our best players have finally caught up with us and you can't do what we've done without it having a negative effect in the long run.

If he's unsackable then we're relegated.

Make my Christmas and sack him. Not often I'd wish a defeat upon us but hopefully Spurs will demolish us and that'll be the end of his tenure.

It's Christmas. We've not improved one bit since day one of the season and we've now got injuries to three key players. Whilst the injuries are not the managers fault, the poor performances are. These players are capable of better. Act now. Get rid of the clueless ***** and let's start a fresh in Jan and try and salvage something from this season.

You beat me to it.

Are you reading this, Les Reed? You useless ****ing ****!

That's too late. Just bite the bullet and get RK on the phone.

Yep.

Exactly. Even the likes of Huddersfield and Brighton seem to be able to show some passion. Not our lot. As I've said elsewhere, that Everton result ****ed us up. MP should've gone before that, but that win saved his skin... and ruined Christmas for the fans.

Exactly! The longer this goes on the harder it's going to be. MP should have gone before the Everton game, but that result did us no favours.

I can only hope he said something like, "Last chance, If that happens again, you're gone."

This! Every day I wake up hoping to hear that he's gone, along with the backroom staff. His departure can not come soon enough. If we wait until the new year to get rid, we're even more ****ed than we are now.

Swansea are gone. I can see any of the others getting out of trouble. Even Palace! All I can see is us getting into trouble.
