I would hate to think that actually buys more time for Pellegrino.

I reckon Pellegrino is looking for a pay-off. It's the only explanation I can think of as to why he is continually so sh*t.

Im not going tomorrow. To all of those who are spending a fair bit of their money to travel to London and watch the match, sing what you want. Who is anyone else to dictate how you should behave. At the end of the day, we're all Saints fans, and want what we think is best for the club. Whether you think it's best we win tomorrow, or lose in the hope that the manager gets the boot, is entirely your opinion. In my book it doesn't make you any better or worse as a supporter.

It was quite a bold statement to make if there was nothing behind it. We are talking about The Sun though.

A lot of full-backs were wingers when they were younger.

Not disagreeing with you on Deeney. But I don't get this obsession with re-sale value. We're a football club, not a football brokerage.

Clearly says that Gao has told Les to do whatever it takes to stop us going down. Good, that's what I want to hear, and it puts to bed, if true, accusations that Gao is just an asset stripper. I reckon Pellegrino is gone before we play Watford. We could sign Messi and he would have him tracking back and passing sideways. Les knows he's going to have to sack the manager.

Heard it all now. Sign a centre-forward, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t score goals! Some people really are clueless.

Hoesesh*t. Gave us a good few years of challenging at the top and European football.

Surely the mainstream media would be all over this?

I heard the players were giving it the Gareth Hunt behind Pellegrino's back.

Les Reed should be spending 100% of his working day finding us a new manager, and quickly. Not spending time with the players and Mauricio Lame Duck Pellegrino. What the f*ck are him and Ralph up to. F*cking pair of c*nts.

George North didn't take much notice of that!

Utterly moronic ().

Good info Derry. I didn't think balls improved that much until the Mitre Multiplex, I think much later than the fifties/sixties.

David Brent nothing talk. I don't know what else people expect from him though. I wouldn't pay him in shirt buttons.

Jeff Astle headed a really heavy ball for his whole career. The balls nowadays are so much lighter, but whether they can cause damage over a long period, I really don't know.

I didn't know Nicholl had brain damage, how sad. Not surprised though, he would put his head where others wouldn't even put their boots. Absolute beast of a player.

Jeff Astle is indeed a very sad story. But he spent a whole career heading a very heavy laced ball that would get even heavier when wet. The earlier comment regarding concussion of American footballers is a warning to the dangers of head injuries in sport. Those affected players were running into walls in every game they played.

So it is! Must have been that bang in the head I got on Friday.

Phil Thompson was slagging Le Tiss of before the game. I think Channon tore him a new one in the Sky studio after the match .

Seems a daft move to me. Banged his head on Saturday, can't play on Wednesday! We really are a nation of softies. Chris Nicholl wouldn't have played 50 games for us if this was the case back then.

I was there. Gittens has a glass jaw and ended up laid out by the bar, unconscious. Before he went down, he was like Bambi on ice. An absolute tool if ever there was one. I reckon your mum could knock him out.

Jon, do you remember picking a fight with my mate in The Pier and getting knocked spark out with one punch?
