It interesting that this has come up. I was listening to The Times podcast discussing West Ham's win against Chelsea. James Scowcroft said he'd played in poor sides where some players had downed tools and were going through the motions. Claimed that they played well against the big clubs for 2 reasons. One was they wanted a move and the other was they faced humiliation if they didn't . Said sides will take half committed sides apart and score 6 or 7. He said when judging players attitudes don't make that Judgement after they've played a big club, but when they've played their peers. When they've played sides which have players of similar ability, then you can judge who is putting it in and who isn't. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a load of pony. It's not about value for money or entertainment, it's about going to watch a sporting contest. I want to see my team win first and foremost and if they entertain me doing so, then that's a bonus. Were you entertained last night? Because I ****ing wasn't . A neutral would of been because Leicester played some really smashing stuff. Personally, I'd have preferred a 0-0 draw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What sums up the ignorance of some of our fans was a conversation I overheard queuing for a slash at half time. The gist of which was “why couldn’t Puel produce a performance like that for us”. He did, some of our away performances were excellent, in fact our away performances were as consistent as under his two direct predecessors. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I was one of the Puel in brigade and I have a season ticket. I also witnessed some really really good away performances. As for the Liverpool semi final, you are the one rewriting history. It all well and good coming out with this pony about the second leg and their "shooting boots", had we had ours on first leg they'd have been 4 down from that. Very convenient loss of memory there. The fact is over 2 legs we thoroughly deserved to win. We did not sit back and hope to hit Hull on the counter attack, if that's how you viewed that game, **** me you must be clueless. You'd rather finish 17th than 8th provided you're entertained, what is this, the Harlem ****ing globetrotters. And you and your buddies around you were seriously considering jacking in your support. I wish you had of, you're hardly the example of loyal supporters. Still at least you got to see some exciting football last night. Of course it meant the loss of 3 points, but that doesn't matter to you does it, rather that than a boring old 0-0. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Too easy to blame the manager. These players are on easy street, ****ing bigger egos than talent. He'll probably be another manager that loses his job on the back of their lack of application. He's doing his best week in week out, there's not many players that are doing the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pellegrino 1 Puel 4 - Post match Meltdown
Lord Duckhunter replied to Dark Munster's topic in The Saints
We were told by certain posters that the players wanted Puel out. What emerged tonight was what some of us believed all along, that with this bunch of ****ing dead beats he did a ****ing good job. Woeful , inept and damn right disgraceful tonight. They should be embarrassed , but doubt they will be. Bertrand (one of the alleged me or Puel gang) was terrible, VvD going through the motions AGAIN. I don't think I've seen Davo as poor. Tadic shocking even by his lowish standards. Boufal ineffective, Cedric didn't look fit to me, and OR average. Charlie Austin worked hard, but missed a sitter that may have changed the game and Lemina did ok . It's too easy to blame the manager, the players out there should have done better. He went with experience and was let down badly. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon of wanting him out, because until tonight , the last 4 or 5 games he was showing promise. BUT, he really needs to start kicking a few arses, upsetting a few and bursting some egos. VvD waltzing back in was wrong, as was dropping Jack & PEH tonight. He needs to upset the old order and impose himself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Don’t really know what the guy has to do to be appreciated by some on here. He was thrown in the deep end last season and did really well. He got thrown in during dec against a good attacking side with clever player, in a slightly unusual formation and he did exceptionally well. Had Hoedt made his debut Sunday and played like that the same people would be gushing and wetting their knickers over him. Sunday’s performance was as good as anything Hoedts produced in a Saints shirt. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don’t blame the bloke. Did really well last season but suddenly found himself 4th choice , there’s not much between him Wes & Yoshida imo. The difference between his performance at the start of his run and the end was marked, he was getting better and better. VvD poncing about all summer and then just put back in the team as if nothing ever happened must be a real kick in the teeth for him. Hopefully Sunday’s performance will have convinced MP to give him a few more games. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Stewart Robson is fantastic when on the radio or The Times podcast, I just don't get why he doesn't get mainstream TV gigs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why would they want that? Their ideal is Norway , they’d get our money, zero tariffs, and impose rules on us. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wonder if Klopp will take stick. Salah was murdering Martina and he’s been their best player for weeks, yet he takes him off at 1-0. Touch of arrogance there imo . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

He’s just back from a long lay off and we have 3 games in a week and then a massive month ahead. I’m not saying it was the right decision but I’m baffled you’re baffled by it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Gray was in and out of the side previously and Mahrez has been going through the motions since the title win. Thierry Henry always said Puel will make players better if they listen to him. Looks like our little darlings thought they were too good for that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Happy with a point. Manager showing real signs of coming to terms with the league. Forster good again, as was JWP. Fantastic performance from Jack Stephens in the circumstances, he should be pushing Yoshida & Wes for a starting berth now. PEH excellent, and what a difference it makes having a goal scorer. 3 centre halves looked good to me, I’d like to see more of it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
