How anybody thinks getting knocked out of the cup is good is beyond me. Worse sides than us have got to the final and some have even won the ****ing thing. **** me, we’ve got some weird customers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Brilliant, just what we need. Will you be jumping around when Fulham score, or be gutted if we do? When the chips are down it’s supporters like you that do the club proud. Southampton till you die , eh. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They hardly sing now. Moving away from the away fans will make it even worse. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I remember pony like this the last time. How it maybe a good thing to go down and re group, win more matches, see new grounds. How did that work out? ****ing dire. The championship seasons before league 1 were ducking awful, even the play off season was frustrating and ultimately ****ing woeful. Watching a shiete team like derby promoted. We were ****ing hours away from going bang, were lucky Marcus didn't walk away with all the fantasy bid. We won't be so lucky next time, we could end up the new Nottingham Forest or Sheffield Weds, just watching shiete second rate football season in season out. No thanks.

I do actually, never know what you’re going to miss and being on the end of the aisle helps, as I’m straight out at final whistle. 2 or 3 down with a couple of minutes left I understand, but that’s not the case. Burnley 82 minutes gone, they’re off, yesterday 80 minutes they’re off, and we’re only 1 goal down. Last year we were 0-0 with Man Utd and people were leaving with 5 minutes left. It’s ****ing pathetic. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don't write pony. Huddersfield fans were singing "oh when the saints go marching out" as our "loyal supporters" were heading to the exit. Second game running because Leicester sang the exact same song. Why was that if nobody was leaving. I sit at the end of an aisle in the Kingsland and week after week there's a steady stream leaving from about 85 mins, regardless of the score . Last night it was as soon as they scored the second. Anyone who doesn't think our support at home is pitiful is deluded. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At least a third leave way before the end. We are the worst supporters in the league at the moment, woeful. We’re good at taking the **** out of other sides supporters on this forum, but absolutely ****ing hopeless at actually walking the walk. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Haven’t a clue myself, but I’d be amazed if that was true in relation to respective 25 men squads. Clearly below top 6 and I’d imagine Everton. Would be surprised if we’re above West Ham, Leicester ( big rises after league win), I’d imagine stoke pay a fair whack as well, wouldn’t surprise me if Pulis pushed WBA’s up quite high as well. Did you ask your mate how he knew this or where he got his facts from or did you just sit there agreeing with him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We’re obsessed with possession, but it’s possession for possessions sake. Good sides keep possession to move the opposition around, to create gaps, get between the lines, then bang, a riskier ball that gets someone in. Even last season, particularly early on, our possession was always with the purpose of getting a 2 on 1 overload, mostly via the fullbacks getting in behind and crossing. Now we just pass it around where the opposition let us pass it around. Where they don’t, we give it away or go backwards, allowing them to become set defensively. Gabbi in particular, but sometime Tadic make good intelligent runs, but the player in possession prefers a safe ball rather than a 60/40 riskier one with a higher reward. This must come from the manager drumming it into them “don’t give the ball away”. The other thing we don’t do is hit the space or the channels and then get midfield runners in. I’m not talking about long ball, but playing a % ball behind the full backs for Long to drag the centre halves out of position. Midfield should then bust a gut to get into the vacant space. We must be so easy to play against, centre halves just stay in position all day long, they’re never pulled out wide or dragged into the “10 space”. We’re so slow moving the ball that their defensive midfield can get into that space and the full backs get back into their defensive positions. When you add in the fact we’re incapable of scoring from corners, you can see why we don’t score many. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Jeremy Pied Joins - 2 Year Deal (Official)
Lord Duckhunter replied to SO16_Saint's topic in The Saints
I don’t really know what sort of back up right back people want or who we could realistically have. Ideally it’ll be a nipper fresh out of the academy, but failing that we’re not really going to get better than Pied. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
Come on, we’re talking about the minute the second goal went it, people ****ed off. 10 minutes left, 2-1 down and they left. Same as Burnley and Leicester,pitiful. Even if I was watching 2 neutral teams on tv I wouldn’t switch off at 2-1 with 10 left. Let alone my own side. You can not tell me people who leave early, week in week out (and that’s how bad it’s become, I sit on the end of an aisle and see them), are supporters. The excuse used to be traffic, now it’s Shiite football, the real reason is they’re Shiite supporters, fickle. I can’t imagine the agony of walking away from the ground not knowing what’s happening behind me, listening to the noise of the stadium, thinking have we scored, was that close. Bunch of ****ing ****s. I’m not talking about staying and clapping the useless players off the pitch, I’m taking about staying to will your team on the last 10 mins, but also being so addicted to football that you can’t leave any game with the result in the balance. We’ve got too many that don’t get it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thought the bloke did ok tonight. Proper professional performance. Journeymen has become a term of abuse, but in his case it shouldn’t be so. Didn’t let anyone down tonight and it can’t be easy not playing week in week out and then having to perform. For a club our size he proved tonight he’s a decent squad player.

Thanks to SW railways just got in now. Haven’t read any comments on this thread, just going to add my own and apologies if it’s all been said earlier. They were there for the taking tonight, they looked leggy and off colour. The fact we didn’t take advantage is ****ing criminal. First half ok, second woeful. Tadic and Boufal shocking second half, Today was the day we needed them and they went missing. Long worked hard again, but second half was useless. Bertrand looked off the pace to me, and OR is a shadow of the player he was last season. PEH, played well and a shout out for Pied, who I thought did well considering his lack of game time. A proper professional imo. The game was our whole season in 90 mins and it’s so predictable. Too safe, too nice, too one paced. The manager now clearly needs to go, but I want to see 5 or 6 others follow him out the door. Our players attitudes and mental toughness is clearly lacking, the sooner some of them **** off the better. Yet again our support was shocking, people ****ing off as soon as they scored the second. 10 minutes left, but they ****ed off. We truly are the worst supporters in the whole league. At least a third are a bunch of sky groupies and tourists. Shocking . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I hope we win tonight and win next week and the week after, in fact I hope we win every fi king game we play. Sorry if that's un nuanced. Actually I hope we score 2 worldies in the last 5 mins and the fickle twts who **** off at 85 mins miss them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Course I do. But top players that are made available will be touted around all window. We’re not Barca where players get a once in a lifetime chance to move. We’re in a big pot with about a dozen other sides. What’s an agent going to do, suggest the player accepts the first offer or will he be on the blower to Fat Sam, West Ham, Leicester “ Player X is available , Saints have offered him 60k a week and the selling club have accepted £20 mil, are you interested ?” If you’re talking about players like Sturridge and Walcott, unless the player insists on moving to us (as Rooney did with Everton) it’s gonna drag out. It suits all parties if there’s a bidding war, except of course the buying club. If a player signs early in the window it means he desperately wants to come, or it’s a big step up for him and he doesn’t want to miss out. The other reason could be the selling club are desperate for money, but the pool we’re now buying from, that’s becoming less and less likely. Most players won’t give a Shiite which mid table club they sign for, so it makes sense not to sign too early. Even players and agents clubs want rid of have most of the power.

You do understand that other teams, agents and the player himself have a say in it don’t you. You don’t buy players off the shelf in Tesco. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wouldn’t surprise me, he hardly bust a gut in matches so could easily gone through the motions at training as well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
It wasn't vague at all. Was at Huddersfield game. Will be announced this week. Apart from the name, he's been pretty open. I know the name is the most important aspect of the whole thing, but clearly people may need to protect their sources. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
