  1. Good job you’re not in charge, otherwise we wouldn’t of had Poch Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Here we go again Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. It’s ****ing bonkers. Fallon tries it on with Julia Hartley Brewer, she tells him to **** off and threatens to punch his lights out, they’ve both got over it and a few years later it’s front page news. WTF......... Talk about the snowflake generation, and that’s The Sun. The owners of Tinder must be delighted, pretty soon that’ll be the only way you’ll be able to get into a chicks knickers without risking arrest. Thanks **** I’m past it.

  4. They were. Of course you won’t find many admitting it if he does a good job at Leicester. Some will tough it out claiming Leicester have better players, or we choose the wrong replacement, but most will claim they thought he deserved another year, and blame Les Reed.

  5. It’s more mixing it up than holding it up. We’re way way too predictable. I’m all for controlling the ball, but unless you’re City, Arsenal on a good day or Barça, it can be easy to defend against. Apart from Long who can’t hit a cows arse with a banjo we arent capable of getting behind sides, we certainly don’t have any midfielders that get beyond the strikers. We can’t knock a long “ get out “ ball because we haven’t got a Pelle to fight for it, again Longs the nearest we’ve got. We don’t even seem to get our full backs in decent positions very much this season. Gabbi has got incredibly clever movement but it’s wasted because the opposition are set defensively by the time we’re ready to pick him out. The system is clearly not working and we need to do something different. Long & Gabbi look an ok pair to me, he needs to find a solution that can give us that. This season reminds me of Shane Warnes Monty Panesar quote about him not playing 40 tests but playing one test 40 times. We haven’t played 11 games this season, we’ve played the same game 11 times. ****ing change it man. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. You can’t judge managers on a dozen games, particularly one with his managerial experience. Some managers take a while to settle in and start imbedding their ideas into the squad. Puel was an extremely experienced manager , this guy is a novice in comparison. Obviously I’d have kept Puel, but that horse has bolted. At the moment we look like a side with no direction, we don’t look particularly well coached , but with a manger learning on the job, is it any surprise? Hopefully behind the scenes he’s working with the younger players, imposing his views and putting a structure in place. He clearly hasn’t hit the ground running and whilst some managers do, others don’t. 18 months should be the minimum unless you’re a complete chump, I’ve seen nothing to suggest he’s a complete chump, just an inexperienced guy coming to term with a bigger job than he’s used to. Maybe he needs an experienced hand. Tony Pullis has Gerry Francis, maybe a similar figure could come in as a sounding board for a while. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. If there’s proven homophobe’s & sexists then they should be suspended. If it’s just a case of a clumsy attempt to pull a bird , then no. I guess it boils down to your definition of sexual harassment. **** me if if the snowflakes had been about in my day, hardly anyone would have got their end away. I’m actually more surprised there’s people surprised the whips have a black book & use it to insert pressure on MP’s. Anyone trying to claim it’s just Tory whips must be a right plum, it’s been going on for years across every single party. Steptoe allegedly “showed off” a naked Diane Abbott to his mates . **** me, I feel sick thinking about it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Even though Puel’s gone? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. The bits about his mistakes are, but they’ve over done the “how good he used to be” stuff. He’s never been any better than average, calling him the third best in the premier league at one time, is delusional. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. So is VvD Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Same old same old Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Average performance from average players. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Rubbish, he didn’t lay the ground work for Koeman anymore than Nigel did for him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. You said he would “instantly improve “ Man utd and Chelsea. Budgets don’t make a blind bit of difference to that statement. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. What’s with the love in for the Argie,talk about blinkered. At roughly the same age Josè Mourinho had already won 2 champions leagues, & the premier league. Yet Poch could improve his present team instantly. Conte took a team from mid table to champions in one season, yet Poch would “improve them instantly”. Shame he couldn’t improve Spurs from second, sorry third , in the same season. I know you wet your pants over the love his players have for him, but they’re in the main younger willing players. He hasn’t managed too many global super stars or clubs that come with real pressure ,and until he does and can not be considered a great manager. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. Is the EFL final considered a domestic away game? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I don’t know about from Southampton but from Poole the train fare is the same to Worthing as to Falmer or Brighton Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. Oh yes, the old arm chair fan jibe. I get to every home game and half the away games, only missed palace away so far this season ( and watched that on TV). Anyway, you wouldn’t need to watch many games to see his contribution, because 2 people who know a damn sight more about football than you or me, who also see him day in day out, deemed him not good enough play many minutes in a side crying out for goals and creativity. Says quite a lot, don’t you think. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. What a load of pony. What’s pride got to do with anything and what on earths ignorant about wanting a guy to preform before being picked. I will summarise my opinion on this so you no longer need to twist what I’ve written in the past. Boufal had done nothing in a Southampton shirt to justify a starting place. He scored a fantastic goal that won us the game. He therefore deserves a start on Sunday. I do not expect him to produce magic like that every week. However, I do expect him to work for the team, do as he’s told and give 100% every minute he’s on the pitch. There are times in the past when it looked to me that he chucked the towel in when things were going against him. If he’s grown out of that, great. If he hasn’t, he can **** off. It’s laughable the gushing praise he seems to get from certain quarters on here, with absolutely no justification at all. Personally, i think he’s been just like Gaston & I think he will end up just like Gaston. Hopefully I’m proved wrong, but I haven’t been yet. One goal, however good, doesn’t make up for his appalling time at the club, so far. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. Is Shane long a Koeman or Les signing. I believe Koeman asked Les for somebody who was used to the English game, and could play up front in a wider roll or down the middle. Les gave him 3 options and Long was one of them. I suggest most of our signings are along these lines, with the manager identifying where we need strengthening & describing the type of player he wants . I’d imagine the club then short list 3 or 4 they’ve been tracking and Les gets to work on seeing who realistically can come in. It’s too simplistic to say X is a Manager signing and Y is a Les one. Some stick out, Pelle clearly didn’t look a Saints buy, but we needed to replace Lovren.Toby could have been on our radar, but being managed by Koeman enabled us to seal the deal.

  21. Homophobic comments should never be considered “Bantz” and its a pretty poor show to call a chick an ugly *****. The blokes clearly unfit to represent his constituents. As for his assertion that a Tory would have to resign because unlike him they’e incapable of remorse and rehabilitation, is quite frankly bizarre. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. You’re not serious are you,genius?.??? There’s absolutely no comparison. Matt hit the ground running when first given his chance. All this genius versus hard work stuff only came later on, after Chris N really. One league goal & some of you want to give him a free pass, and he’s a “luxury player”. I doubt Jimmy Case gave Matt a free pass after 1 ****ing league goal. If he wants to mince around not doing his share of the dirty work, wants to be a luxury player (whatever that is), then he should **** off to Arsenal. ONE goal ffs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. Wonder what Steptoe is going to do about his new homophobic, sexist MP? The bloke himself has claimed today that he’s not going to resign the whip, but would expect a Tory to if they said the same thing. Evidently a Tory can’t rehabilitate themselves, but he has..... Perhaps they could give him a “ban” like Ken’s one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  24. I’d love it if Puel & Tuchel get their respective jobs. We’d then be able to directly compare, excitement, number of goals, how much the players like them & their personality at press conferences. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  25. It’s a shame remoaners like you aren’t as vociferous towards the other side of the coin. How about the EU publish the exact figure they want as part of this so called divorce bill, is it €49 billion, $50 billion, $100 billion, they don’t seem to know. And how about they account for every red cent of that money. The British Government should pay every penny that they’re legally accountable for, not a penny more , not a penny less. Not newspaper leaks, not national Politicians opinion, they should publish their settlement figure and the reasoning behind it for everyone to see. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
