Wow, weird. So you would want to see the team you support lose more matches? I presume you'd rather have lost 5-4 last night & 3-2 at Anfield. So you'll be happy losing more games next season, provided you're entertained every game ?That's not a supporter, that's a neutral . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can't judge one season against another one, claim that winning the league is easier one year than it is another is clearly nonsense. We finished above Man Utd & got relegated, West Ham got relegated with 42 points. It doesn't mean relegation is somehow different than Sunderland going down this season. Leicester's win is no more undeserved than Utd or Arsenal's great sides, or Liverpool in the 80's They were the best team in England in a given season. Under Poch we were the 8th best team that season, in Koemans first season we we're the 7th best team in England, let's see where we are in Claude's first season. Trying to gerrymander the league to suit agenda's is pathetic. It's not ice dancing where judges sit around and award points for artistic merit. We keep score, produce a table and if you finish 10th one year & 10th the next, they're the same. You're the 10th best team in the country. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're suggesting that giving him game time was all it took, nothing to do with coaching.

Was there any between Kane's & Arters? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing to do with the coaching staff then? Funny how it's Puel when players are shiete but any improvement is down to other things Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had he swapped Tadic for Boufall then the boo boys would be moaning about like for like subs. It looked to me that he played Boufall as a 10 leaving Tadic & Redmond wide. This still gave us the stability of our "normal" central partnership of Davo & OR .Had we been losing he'd have probably taken Davo off & left JWP on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not his biggest fan but it's absolutely bonkers to criticise him last night. He gave us something different when he came on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone who who can't see that their keeper really needed to dive to save JWP's effort has never played football at any standard whatsoever......, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He's an upgrade on Coco the clown as a squad player. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was wondering whether it was tactical or whether the medical staff advised Puel that he wouldn't last the full 90. He's not played a lot this season & was out recently. Thanks for clearing up that it was in fact a tactical decision. I won't ask you to post how you know this, because I wouldn't want you to compromise your position within the first team set up.

We played well tonight particularly second half. Some of our passing under pressure in the middle third was excellent. Jack Stephens was outstanding , he looks a class act. Apart from his final ball I thought Matt Targett had a really good game after so long out. Davo was busy and OR his normal excellent self.Tadic continues to frustrate and Redmond actually looked decent in the first half , but faded when we played better in the second. Clearly the Pen Miss would have made a difference & their keeper made some decent saves. Taken in isolation that was a pretty good show. Had it been the first game of the season posters would have been praising us & would have an air of confidence about the forthcoming season. They'd probably think we could have a decent cup run and maybe finish 8th. There were downsides. The main one being the complete and utter ****wits some of our supporters are. Leaving the ground I heard people saying stuff like "Same old ****", "too negative ", "boring ", if any one thinks that about tonight , I would say they haven't got a clue. Special mention goes to the **** wits who booed JWP coming off. They're probably the same half baked that complain that Puel is to rigid & never changes, the ones that complain he doesn't go all out to win. Instead of a like for like , taking off Redmond or Tadic. He ended up with Tadic,Boufall , Redmond all on the park, yet there were boos. Unbelievable. I actually thought Boufall looked dangerous, I was willing him to score to shut the planks up. The final straw was having to listen to Dinosaur Dave calling for 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 with JRod, Austin and Gabbi "up top" and then hearing the texts read out. I drove down the M27 thinking , God we've got some idiots following the club. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought he was fantastic tonight. He just gets better and better, was far superior than Smalling. His touch and distribution was first class and he's even started to step into midfield and knock some nice passes about. If he plays regularly next season & continues to develop, he'll be a wanted man next season. Claude was right giving him a run in the side

****ing genius. Let's bring a bloke whose played 5 mins in the past 6 months on in the 6th minute. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought some of the posters on here were clueless ****wits when it comes to football, but I had the misfortune to drive tonight & listened to Solent on the way home. **** me, the people texting can't have watched the same game as me. It was not boring, we were not too slow moving the ball and we did not play negative. If one more plum texted in agreeing with dinosaur Dave and his 4-4- ****ing 2 , I was going to crash the car. Dave even suggested a front three of Austin,Gabbi & JRod. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rubbish, had we drawn or God forbid lost on sat,you'd have been moaning like **** about the side he'd picked Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct And every Saints supporter would have accepted this at the start of the season Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

See I'm really struggling with this new way we've found of judging seasons. I've always given my West Ham supporting mate clog because despite winning the World Cup , their highest top flight finish is 3rd, whereas ours is of course 2nd. However we got 2nd with 77 points & they were 3rd with 84 points. I'm also slightly perturbed to find that under the new Saints web system our 2nd place doesn't seem to count. The following 2 seasons we would only have finished 3rd & 4th respectively. I feel such a fool because I've spent 30 years thinking that 1983/84 was such a great season, but it turns out not to be. This new system of measuring achievement is really going to put the cat amongst the pigeons. I hope my West Ham mate doesn't catch on otherwise it'll be payback time. However he's a normal bloke not a ****ing halfwit so I'd imagine he still thinks 2nd is higher than 3rd . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I must have missed the sarcastic comments when Poch finished 8th. Funny how things change, give footballer supporters a couple of decent years and they become arrogant dicks. 8th is a good finish for this club, not happened too often in 100+ years and it was good enough under Poch.

Watching Daily Politics on catch up it appears that Labour's "fully costed" manifesto doesn't allocate a single penny for their nationalisation policy. They've also done no economic analysis of behavioural changes regarding tax rises. I thought every serious economist factored that in to every model, but McDonnell hasn't. Then again what do you expect ,he couldn't even answer Nick Robinsons question on how big the deficit is. Funny as ****, the massive pause, the "we must invest" delaying tactic , the denial that we was getting helped , before he gives the wrong figure. By complete coincidence the figure he gave (wrongly) was the same out of date figure on Wikipedia this morning. **** me, someone who wants to be CoE relying on google for his figures. Has there ever been a more incompetent bunch? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

8th would be good. Same finish as Poch in his first full season & one lower than Koemans in his. Oh, and neither reached a cup final. Cue "Puel out" brigade explaining why it's different !!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All I'm saying is I wish people would stop banging on about "fair" taxes. The only thing that's fair is everybody paying the same %. I'm not advocating flat taxes, just an acknowledgment of how much money the richer portion of society transfer to the poorest. The tax system isn't fair if you use the word correctly , because some workers pay 0 % and some pay 45% of money they've earned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting use of the word "fair". Surely everybody paying the same % is the fairest system. Perhaps politicians of both sides should start acknowledging the vast amount of money the richest pay into the system. The way "rich" is chucked around as some sort of insult is disgusting. The vast vast majority are hard working decent citizens, they shouldn't be used as some sort of cash cow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
