I agree. I think Puel is a decent manager and that's what he achieved . An exceptional one would have maybe won the cup, gone further in Europe & perhaps finished above Everton. With an average manager this squad should not be involved in a relegation battle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He didn't try very hard. This is what he said when campaigning and attracting criticism for being "soft " on the right to own guns. “I believe in the Second Amendment, It’s there written on the paper. It guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many times people try to twist my words around — I taught constitutional law, I know a little about this. I get it.” He's actually complaining that his opponents are trying to twist his words and portray him as anti gun. Until somebody has the balls to do what neither Clinton or Obama did and directly contradict and argue against the constitution, can they even begin to address this. It's going to be long generational battle, but the first tiny step is somebody standing up and telling their citizens that "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Has no place in the modern world. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Since losing Pelle, Big Vic & Mane we have an average bunch of players. An average bunch that with a good manager would be top 10, and with a bad one fighting relegation. Apart from the full backs & maybe Lamina, the rest are much of a muchness. The 3 centre halves are pretty similar level. PEH & JWP, does it really matter which plays. Is there much between Tadic & Boufal, OR would have been a massive miss last season, but somebody could perform that role to a similar standard he has this season. Even our strikers without Austin are just average. Long runs around and can't score, Gabbi good movement but doesn't score, Guido gives us a little bit of focus, but doesn't appear able to score. It's not like anyone missing will be missed that much. look at the keepers, both just average. We've a squad of 6/10 players, with maybe 3 exceptions. However the 3 exceptions aren't strikers or goal makers like Le Tiss was. If 5 of our regulars were missing, that'd be disastrous for other sides at the bottom. We'd bring 5 in and they'd be no worse, crucially they'd be no better either. A manager is only as good as the tools he's given and since RK left, they've been given some blunt tools. There is no way on earth anyone could take this bunch to top 6, not a chance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He's doing what Clinton & Obama did in their two terms. **** all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

God, I bet that was a tough sell. How on earth did he persuade him. “Well Mauricio, being out of work and pretty much unknown as a manager would you like to come to the worlds richest league”. All those big clubs queuing up to employ him, and Cortese managed to get him, amazing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The most gutless performance I’ve ever seen, including this season, was the away game at The Skates. The players look like they’d shat themselves, the whole ****ing lot of them. So it’s pony to claim there was a fighting spirit then. We went down with a whimper . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

He's been schooled under Rafa Benítez, what do people really expect? Like Benítez he'll set sides up to be solid, be safe and not get beat, good attacking play is a bonus. However, unlike Benítez or even Claude Puel for that matter, he hasn't got the tactical nous or gravitas to do that properly, so we end up where we are now. Boring & defensive, safe without taking risks, but unable to grind out 0-0's. Contrast Sunday with Puels efforts against Liverpool last season, particularly the home league game. We went home frustrated but with a point in the bag. So yes he is a defensive manager, a pretty poor one, but a defensive one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My brother in law sold up in Weybridge, brought a nice house in Poole and retired on his final salary pension. Is it his fault that I haven’t got my final salary pension anymore, no it’s Gordon ****ing Brown’s. Is it his fault that the price of property in London and surrounding areas is so high, that he’s made a killing, no. What on earth has he done wrong to be denied the vote or criticised by snowflakes. All his done is work hard all his life, move to the coast and retired. By the way, he left school with **** all, moved to London with nothing, he had no more opportunities than anyone else. My youngest son is now 18, there is absolutely nothing his uncle did 40 years ago, that he couldn’t do today. If he works as hard and is as successful in his chosen career, he’ll be able to enjoy a decent retirement in a nice house. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Isn’t that the idea of supporting a team. What happens in your world, your support is up for grabs. Maybe City will get it next season, perhaps Liverpool. I don’t know about you floating supporters, but I always thought your team, was your team. We have some seriously weird customers Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

**** me, what is wrong with some of you. It's football for gods sake, not a shiete album from your favourite band. You can't pick and choose when you support your team. You support it through thick and thin, well guess what, here's the thin (not that it's anything like Sunderland, Forest or even skates are going through). No doubt you'll all be back when the footballs better and we're back in Europe or in play off finals, no doubt you'll be running on the pitch when we're promoted again. Telling everyone what a great Saints fan you are. Bunch of fickle twts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll be renewing no matter what league we’re in or who is in charge of the club. People jacking their support in during the bad times should be ashamed of themselves. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Typical of this place, some knee jerk reactions from people who love nothing better than moaning. The bloke was tidy yesterday, but was isolated up front. Never really got a sniff on goal apart from one header that can’t be considered an easy chance at all. Here’s an idea, why don’t people let the guy play a few games, perhaps against sides outside of the top 6 and then judge him. I know the budding Paul Mitchell’s on here are so knowledgeable that they can make instant assessments about players, personally I think 2 games (one of which he did ok) is too soon.

That’s a really good point. Future Governments can absolutely change the terms. And no, I wouldn’t trust any of them Society needs to make a decision . We can either send 10% to uni with no fees or 50% with fees. I doubt we can put the genie back in the bottle as the industry is too big to change now. We can absolutely not afford to pay for 50% of the population to go to uni for free. What I find strange & incoherent is Corbyn wanting to make it free. Who does it help, the graduates that will pay off their loans. Which is in effect the very richest, the same richest he wants to tax more. Whether the left like it or not, fees are progressive. The more you earn, the more you pay back. If you’re poor, you don’t pay a penny back and it’s written off after 30 years. Its not really a loan, more of a higher tax rate , and should be renamed. It’s too easy to compare free uni of our days (not that I went) with payment now, it’s a different beast now with so many more going. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The PFA should absolutely be helping in cases like this, rather than supporters who in the main would have earnt a lot less than players did. In comparison to today’s players they were paid a pittance, but were pretty well paid compared to the working man. Short career maybe, but plenty of jobs cease to exist or have been made redundant. The days of life time jobs went for his generation regardless of whether you were a footballer or not. The PFA should do more for retired members, they can afford it.

According to Martin Lewis 83% of students won’t pay their loan off. He also claims you have to be a high earner for 30 years for the interest rate to make any difference to you. The legacy the over 30’s could leave the youngsters is to stop frightening them over this “debt”. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My Mrs actually works in Poole hospital, oh and she isn’t an immigrant. If you think it’s bad now, wait till it merges with Bournemouth hospital and cross your fingers the traffic from colehills not too bad if you need an ambulance. The issue with that A& E is people are there who should be going to the doctors, but can’t get an appointment. Whether people like it or not population growth has contributed to that, added to labours ridiculous GP contracts. It’s only going to get worse, my son lives in Hamworthy, look how that’s grown the past 10 years. Soon they’re building on that side of the quay, on the old power station site, Carter’s quay and on the Sydenhams site. Extra doctors surgeries planned to deal with all those extra people, none. I’m not saying it’s all immigrants, as I don’t see too many in Poole (including my Mrs work mates at the hospital), but to deny population growth without extra capacity doesn’t affect health provision is just putting your head in the sand.

What about those ****s with terminal illnesses, if we banned them from voting we could have them put down & save money on NHS. They're just clogging up the housing market by fighting for their lives, somebody healthy could live in their house. Whilst stopping people voting is totally disproportionate , he is onto something. However, it's something our feeble minded yellow bellied politicians and snowflakes will never address. Middle class and old people's welfare. Winter fuel allowance sticks out a mile, but look at the fuss lefties made when Wayne Rooney and Paul McCartney had their child benefit withdrawn. Look at tuition fees, only the well off will pay them back, so by abolishing them, you're helping the wealthy. My old man retired at 55, gets a free TV licence, winter fuel allowance and because of the uproar about "dementia tax" my inheritance is pretty safe. Meanwhile others are having to use food banks. It's not him voting to keep these perks, that's keeping them it's you snowflakes whinging every single time somebody suggests doing something about it. If the Tories go into the next election committed to scraping pensioner benefits for the richest pensioners, Corbyn and his cronies aren't gonna say "good idea, lets channel the money into people who really need it" are they? They're going to be telling stories of pensioners freezing to death. The old age pension is basically a Ponzi scheme, that needs serious reform, but nobody will address that.

I don't particularly swear a lot myself, my snap dragon swears at me way more than I swear at her, but if others want to swear at football that's up to them. I certainly won't get offended by swearing in songs sung by our supporters and even if you did there's absolutely nothing to be gained by making a fuss about it. Swearing has always been a part of football, the only thing that's changed is the chants, and abuse used to be a bit more original and a bit more amusing. Chanting Lovren you're a ****, or their new version Virgil you're a ****, is going to get a bit tedious Sunday imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the explanation Matt gave to Jeff Stelling on Soccer Saturday. Seems perfectly plausible to me. As for release clauses , they are actually buy out clauses. The buying club buy the player out of his contract and he becomes a free agent to then sign. Therefore the club holding the players contract are perfectly within their rights to demand up front payment for that contract. Most would probably accept the player doesn’t want to play for them anymore and may accept staged payments, but it looks like The Russians wouldn’t in this instance. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
