isnt that why he was sacked from Stoke as it didnt work there and he refused to change

Should have been 1 down within a minute but next 15/20 mins we played some beautiful quick passing football Lemina and Gabbi were on fire - we then conceded a goal and our heads went - Lemina basically gave up - 1st 20 mins in 2nd half could easily and should have been 6:0 - by this stage both teams were playing b teams and we gained a bit of possession back but it was a meaningless kick about by then. Thought Mo was rubbish on Weds except for the goal but thought he was really lively when he came on today - Armstrong was absolute class on Weds but pretty anonymous today and got sub off at half time but he played in a deep role today - Vestegard been pretty poor both games. However I dont think its the defenders I think its the system that is the problem we dont have the players for it or at least they dont know how to play in the system - at the end we played 433 today and they all seemed much more comfortable

Is this what Ralph meant by funding to take us to the next level - didnt realise he meant downwards

No you cant blame them but they could just ignore them and shut the f**k up and let people decided themselves if they want to believe it or not

Looks the rest of the premier league will be quaking in their boots after watching that class football

I've been told by a source that the reason for the hold up is that, as we do not have any money, Hughes £1m bonus was paid by robbing the charity boxes of the Saints Foundation and as anyone would know counting a £1m in 1p, 2p and 5p is not a quick process. Apparently Hughes has said as soon as the last penny is accounted for he will sign - Dont shoot the messenger

When both Puel and MP joined us I read the newspaper articles that were posted on here that described their style of play, formations and what types of managers they were - and what a surprise they played exactly how they were reported - so although I hated their football they stuck to their philosophies so fair play to them and they both seemed like decent guys so I could never really hate them. What really p*sses me off is the club with all their resources and black boxes could nt see what anyone else could be reading one article. I can only assume it was pure arrogance from Reed who must of thought they could change how theyve spent their entire managerial careers managing. Reed and co need to seriously review how they interpret the data they have

whoosh

Look for a poor student - think my son will head over

Anyone know if there is a london saints bar where people are watching the match?

Does any know if there are designated pubs at Bakers st like at the cup final or are there any other pubs people are meeting up in

Lolz - I was worried about not getting any Semi final tickets - not worried now

Because we left it so f king late we are now in a difficult situation as we are caught between a long term appointment and a short term appointment to keep us up. I think we will struggle to get someone only on a short term contract - therefore we'll be like Everton, getting someone in on a long contract thats not right for the long term but will hopefully keep us up - then do we keep them into next season and go through the same process or does Les have the bulls to sack them in the summer and bring in the right long term appointment. I dont think any good long term appointees will want to join us now, but if they did do we appoint someone with no Premier league experience which might take us down and then stick with them in the championship. All because Reed has lost control of the situation

He is what we call a master,” says Carrillo. “He is a person who teaches the players how to be better

Im not even convinced that if we just stay up that they will sack him in the summer - I think they will give him a chance into next season

good choice sir

damn hoping we would lose that and could concentrate on the cup

Sims showed more in the 10mins he was on the pitch than Redmond did in the whole of the last game - baffling how Redmond was picked ahead of Sims or Boufal.

Dear Mr Bertrand, I would just like to remind you that you where pretty s**t before you joined the Saints and were not able to settle at a club or hold down a place at a top 6 club. When you joined us you were looking forward to playing regularly and able to settle down. The least you could do is appreciate the fans that support you and show some appreciation to the club that improved you as a player. You might want to glance an eye at the careers of other players that thought the grass was greener at a bigger club such as Clyne, Schnederlin, Shaw, Wanyama, Chambers, Oxlade - chamberlain. Yours sincerley An unhappy Fan

Hopefully Riadi will get the team to sit back and defend the 2:0 lead as it never fails as a tactic

Cast your mind back a few months and look what happened when we sacked the last incompetent manager. I am sure Uncle Les COULD find someone even worst

Nice one thanks I'll try that

Is there any free Kodi addons that work I could nt find any that work

Amazing what the threat of the sack can do - never sat back at the end and the players seemed to play with a lot more freedom doing tricks etc - Boufal actually seemed to enjoy playing today Lemina is going to be some amazing player

We were n't asking you Les now get back and sign someone
