Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Couldn't agree more. I remember saying something similar last season. In fairness Puel did it and played J-Rod and Long, I thing it was against 'Boro. Guess what, it was the only time we scored in the last 6. Does that not tell a story?

Said it over a month ago. Too many average players. Long works hard and of all of them looks the most likely to score.

Neither. I'd play Shane Long. He works harder and is probably the more likely to score... which doesn't say much.

Just ditch Boufal / Tadic and play Long in that role on a regular basis. He works hard and of the 3 players he looks the most likely to score.

I spoke to the son of former Liverpool owner, Rick Parry a couple of weeks ago. He said the same thing. He worked with MP at Liverpool and said 'He's a lovely guy, but I don't think he's got what it takes to take Saints to the next level. Puel's football may have been boring but I think you'd have been better keeping him. I think you're going to be very disappointed at the end of the season'. I know it's only an opinion but it's interesting to hear the views of somebody who knows him and has worked with him.

If you're in it then why not try to win it? This sort of thing ****es me off. People paid good money to watch that shower of ****.

Which is exactly what I said about 4 weeks ago. They're just average players. I'd sell at least two of them and replace them with one decent player.

Huddersfield are on a roll. We'll get nothing against them. I understand making some changes but I really don't get the ones he's made tonight. We look ****ing terrible.

Not convinced by Tadic, Boufal or Redmond but Tadic would be the first one I'd get rid of. We should offload him at the earliest opportunity. There must be a better option out there.

Why is it a surprise? You really are a thick ****. Read the opening line of my message. 'I HOPE I'M WRONG'. Really pleased that we got this signing over the line.

Stop trying to be a smart arsed *****. When have I ever mentioned anything about Burnley? I did know somebody at Spurs but he's moved to a similar role at another club. A move that was largely forced upon him due to Spurs not playing at WHL this season.

I think we must have somebody lined up, otherwise there's no way we'd be letting him go.

Oh **** off you tool. In response to Hypochondriac - No, just one of those signings I'd like to see us get over the line but the longer it goes on the more nervous you become about it going pear shaped. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Hope I'm wrong but I've got a horrible feeling he's not coming.

Been saying the same thing about Redmond and Tadic for months. Both average. Rather see Long starting, at least he grafts. Start JWP instead of Davis and sort a decent centre back and I think we'll be ok. What were people's thoughts of Lemina?

Yep. It's also a sad reflection on the modern game. :-(

Italian press are saying we've made a official offer for Hoedt and met Lazio's valuation.

Still think he's a better option that Boufal, Redmond or Tadic. Certainly works harder than any of them. Be sad to see him go but if he's not going to get regular football then no point in keeping him.

Because she's got huge ears and a trunk.

Inclined to agree but it's a sign of the times. As a mate of mine said last week, it's more about 75 billion Chinese people wanting to watch Southampton V Crystal Palace these days.

Still think he's a better option that Tadic, Boufal, Redmond and Gallagher. I remember last season when we were struggling for goals and I said I'd like to see J-Rod and Long start instead of Redmond, Tadic / Boufal. May not have the flair but they certainly work harder and create more. I genuinely hope I'm wrong but I think he'll get more assists and score more goals and than any striker at Saints this season.

Crazy to let J-Rod go. Just read the reviews from his game today. Man of the match. Created more chances than any other player.

As I said a couple of weeks ago, they're all average players. I'd gladly see 4 of them replaced with 1 quality addition.

Obviously it's early days but first impressions are that it doesn't look like we've addressed any of the issues from last season. It's going to be a very long season.

Pair of C***s.
