To say he doesn't question "them and us" is pony. He's always on about how unfair FFP is and how it cements the big clubs advantage. You waffle on about "what if we got 2 less points", well we didn't . I'm sure if I posted "what if" we won the EFL cup or "what if" we scored every pen we were given , you'd soon point out that we didn't . He sums up my thoughts exactly "Southampton keep selling their best players, so why shouldn't it hit them? Given the club's policy where, seriously, do the owners think they should be? Eighth and a final is a decent effort" Decent effort, not great or wonderful, or amazing, but decent. Given the circumstances, the players & the injury to VvD I think that's a pretty fair assessment Correct me if I'm wrong, but your answer to the question of "where do you think we should be". Is 8th but playing fast attacking football, with lots of goals & excitement. Clearly, that's preferable to what we've had this season. But, who is capable of delivering that with this set of players? You may think it's preferable to finish lower in the league, but watch more "excitement ", I don't . I want us to finish as high as possible, preferably playing great football, but if not , then so be it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only way we'll win this battle is for ordinary decent Muslims to sort their loons out, but they don't seem capable or willing to do so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There's a vigil tonight, let's see how many Muslims are there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Amazing isn't it. They look at the table after everyone has played each other twice, and have formed the opinion we're the 8th best team in England. ****ing clueless halfwits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting listening to The Times podcast whilst I was walking the dog. They have their ratings for the season. A-F with + & -'s allowwd . 3 journos & 1 ex pro . All gave us a B ( for perspective Everton got 2x B & 2c+). Points were based on how you did compared to your squad, spend, & wages together with expectations (city got c-) . Only Chelsea, Spurs , Liverpool , Burnley & Boscombe were above us in their ratings. Again, it's just a bit of fun, but it shows others perception of our season . Here's a question for the Puel out mob. Is there any neutrals, pundits or journos that think Puel should be sacked ? Neutral meaning non Saints. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Leicester supporting mate sent me this text this morning "Another good season for you guys" Obviously, he's just one bloke, but I'm pretty sure most non saints supporters think similar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Corbyn's got some front, he should basically STFU. Sunday he refused to condemn the IRA. Perhaps ISIS are using bullet & bombs to get their way, something McDonnell praised the IRA for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When the dead are named & ages given, it's going to be horrendous. I have a 16 year old girl whose been to about a dozen similar concerts over the years. God, I just feel for the families. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am as well, Especially the % of points below the actual champions,the points total, artistic merit, excitement, jokes at press conferences and the number of points gained against the top 6. Life was so much easier when you only had to predict the final league position. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

About as seriously as Poch did Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

****ing heartbreaking reading Twitter. Number of posts saying "my friend/son/daughter etc went to concert & not picking up phone" the pictures are all of teenagers & younger. Horrible horrible, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's sad is people calling Lallana , Lovren & Koeman disloyal ****s, whilst calling for the managers head after one season. A season where we finished in a position that every single one of the said people would have taken at the start. Also they've been complaining about previous mangers cup runs,so he ticked that box as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My view is the team that finishes 8th deserves to finish 8th and are therefore the 8th best team in England. That's been the historical way teams are judged . Just because it doesn't support their agenda, people are looking around for new measures. I'm sure there's plenty of Puel out bods who were absolutely gutted when they found out Boscombe & West Brom didn't win. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When did points won or % of points as opposed to the champions, start becoming the measure of a team's performance. When we finished 2nd the points total would have got us 3rd & 4th the following 2 seasons, don't recall too many suggesting 2nd was somehow not as good as other 2nd's. We were the 8th team in the country under Poch. We were the 8th best team in the country under Puel. End of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On the train back there was 4 Stoke fans coming back to Poole. They weren't happy with Hughes at all. They did think it laughable that some Saints fans didn't think 8th was good enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every single Boscombe fan I know , would swap 9th & no cup final for 8th and a cup final Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Greats a bit strong, good is more appropriate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's how we measure teams What do you want, Len Goodman to decide league positions based on artistic merit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, I wouldn't . We finished 8th !!!!end of. Same as we finished under Poch. Fact. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you would rather we lost more games, but entertained you more? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed. That's the beauty of football it's simplicity. Each team plays each other home & away and the best team wins the league. The second best team is second etc etc. The complicated method would be to judge teams on artistic merit etc. Poch' team were the 8 th best in England . Puel's team were 8th best FACT. 99% of supporters would have taken that in Aug. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The way I look at it is this . Every team plays each other twice. The best team win the league, the second best team finish second etc etc . This year we were the 8 th best team in England. Same as we were under Poch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
