What team did you want him to put out today? I don't think we could have done much different with our current injuries and suspensions

VVD for me.........no one wants Lovern back?

No shane long is our best attacker ....

No both his points were spot on we were by far the better team let down by turd finishing as we have been for large parts of the season. Martina was not nearly as poor as people are making put and was much better in the second half when he started getting forward.

I don't want a stadium size increase if it's just going to filled up with ****s like the bloke in a half and half scarf a couple of rows behind me on Saturday who some how lost his ****ing hat and then made a big ****ing noise about it. Are the clubs making these big stadium increases doing it for proper supporters of the team to get seats or because they hope to fill the place up with day trippers and PL tourists taking selfies and politely clapping both sides....

Why it's not like the SMS is sold out that often and the TV money will dwarf anything the club will get for filling a few thousand extra seats for those games that do sell out.

Maybe its just me but I'd quite like to see Tadic with Austin and Mane upfront and back to a 4-3-3 or what ever you want to call it. I think Tadic and Austin could be quite good if they played together.

My guess is Koeman put him on hoping the ball would stick up top and relieve some of the pressure on our back line which was building even before Long's injury. I'm willing to bet koeman didn't send him on with instructions to start ****ing around with flicks and tricks but just to hold the ball.

Woeful with the ball to day just kept giving back to Chelsea every time he got it in a defensive area.

It got worse as the game went on losing Long (replacing him with Pelle) and having Davis, Clasie and Bertrand on yellows made pressing them pretty difficult.

We were ok and matching them up until the bit in the second half when the ref lost control and started to hand out yellows like confetti. How the Chelsea players especially Costa get away with talking to refs like that is a mystery to me. Our players just seemed to switch off after that letting players of Chelsea's calibre have so much of the ball after that was fatal. Why Koeman went for Pelle instead of Mane after Long was injured is a complete mystery.

I'd take him he knows the club and has talent. I had to laugh at Wenger wanting him out because he hasn't improved since he has gone to Arsenal five years ago which really points to Wenger's coaching rather than Alex's talent Imo. No doubt Chambers won't be far behind in a season or two.

err why? He well might be off in the summer though his prolonged goal drought has probably reduced his value somewhat but I don't see how not playing or playing today has any bearing on the summer transfers.

Really? We all know what Mane is capable of but the fact is he hasn't scored since last October. I'm not sure on how many assists he has had in that time but I'm reckoning not many. Long is a our top scorer and has more end product than Mane right now and should be starting.

Never happy when saints lose but if it stops spurs winning the league it might sooth the pain a bit.

Fair oak has a Harding way not sure Dan would make it into to many dream teams though.

Ha they bought Blackburn for like 40 million as someone said above Kat values the club at 200 million aren't going to be to many buyers out there. Any buyers of saints are going to have to be mega rich and be prepared not got to back much of a return on their investment compared to the current owners. Villa have been up for sale for about a 2 years without a sniff although once they plummet through the leagues the owner will probably find it easier to sell.

TBH I'm very happy with the current owner but I'm not to worried about someone else buying the club. The sort of money a PL club is worth means only a very wealthy person is likely to buy the club so we can get on with being Man city Mark 2.

Lets just pull English clubs out of Europe and get the FA to offer this prize money for the cup The issue is clubs are more interested in money than winning stuff. The fans, I would suggest, are of the total opposite view and would rather win something than sit around basking in the glow of some extra cash for finishing higher up the league or playing some European group rounds. Personally I'd rather see saints win a cup finally at Wembley over anything else really but that's just me.

Bollix to that just tell clubs to stop ****ing whinging to many games my arse the teams who really don't like it are the ones in Europe so this will just be another bow down to the small elite at the top of the tree. As for attendances people will turn up to a cup tie if its priced right.

It's not just points the current top 4 sides have a massive goal difference advantage over everyone else to. The current top 4 will be the top four at the end of the season the only thing up for debate is what order they will be in. Would be perfectly happy finishing 5th or 6th which would be another best ever PL finish for us.

Except Ronald said when Austin turned up that he was surprised how fit he was compared to the rest of the squad. Even if Austin isn't that fit I would rather start him and get an early goal and then sub him latter than start with an out of form Pelle.

See my take on it is every team has to work with what they've got. Not everyone can play endless possession football nor can every team afford top quality players to play super attractive fuzbol so if you can find a system that works successful I don't think you should get criticized for it. I hope Leicester win the league personally much better than seeing the same mega rich clubs dominating everything.

TBF even in our bad run we were creating chances we just weren't scoring them.

What apart from giving us some of our biggest wins (and a load of points) since our return to the PL . Personally I have no problem the likes of Sunderland and villa propping up the table season after season with clueless owners makes life easier for a team like ours.
