It's quite hard watching Jay. A shadow of his former self. No touch, no control, no pace, no confidence, no leadership of the line.

I'm guessing there's too much smoke around for there not to be a fire smouldering somewhere....

Interesting that Bloomberg are running with it. Not known for gossip so probably some credence to the story in some shape or form.

SSN saying he's gone.

I would expect us to use Puel's in-depth knowledge of the French leagues for our next acquisitions.

PEH is in a different league to Clasie.

Agree but he didn't instill much confidence by fumbling / spilling all the other shots. It was an uncharacteristic performance. Tom Heaton is certainly above him in the England pecking order judging by recent weeks' performances.

Cedric with one good leg.

After praising Clasie for his hugely improved performance against Burnley I'm afraid he's reverted to type today. PEH must be wondering what he's got to do to get a game.

According to The Sun (via SSN) Jose has told Morgan he can go.

I don't see a single 'meltdown' on this thread whatsoever. What I see is people discussing a likely scenario in a pretty constructive manner. It is OK to discuss things like this on a footy forum I guess? You know, you don't have to be a 'bedwetter' or a 'happy-clapper'. There is some ground in between for discussion, and if appropriate, critique. Just maybe.

It's funny isn't it. There were a fair few vocal folks questioning Puel who were told in no uncertain terms that it was ridiculous to judge a man on such a short period and yet now there are plenty calling him the new messiah just a few weeks on. But that's OK now. For balance let's see how things are looking at the turn of the year. It's looking a lot brighter now though and long may that continue.

It's pretty much always Martina that's why. You don't see them in professional football nowadays just on the school playing field.

Davis needlessly giving it away on the halfway line was the problem.

Yes. The Italians are going to have one strike but it will be very effective.

It was for Austin's shirt pulling. Jenas missed it too so probably a good job he's commentator not a ref.

I see what you did there.

The whistle went for another split-second earlier offence. Nothing to do with Jrod.

At least he discusses the game. Weirdo. Come on Saints 5 mins to dig out a result that would be deserved.

Good game, especially the second half. Impressed with Redmond who bar a 15 minute spell in the middle of the first half was always a penetrating threat. Best game for Clasie for me too. Hugely impressed with Romeu again, in fact good games throughout. Burnley have no chance of staying up if that is representative of their performances. Dreadful.

I hope there's a lot of cheques being presented today as he's a long way short of his target as it stands. Quite an incredible effort he's gone to so I hope folks dig deep today to support him and the charity. Inspirational.

I doubt Austin is even quicker than Sammy Saint over 5m let alone other members of the 1st team.
