Completely different situation. Koeman didn't have a hope in hell of getting a big job. Great player, but he was our level managerial wise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't really believe I watched that shiete. Audience didn't reflect the country at all, despite the BBC's claim that it did. My Mrs is a soft arsed leftie & even she was laughing at its bias. Personally, I'm sick to death of members of the public on these sort of things. Should be 2 or 3 journos asking probing questions & no audience. As for the debate, it was terribly handled by the BBC bird. People shouting over each other, and interrupting. The Welsh windbag is just weird and her "more youth workers" as a way to combat terrorism bizarre. Nuttull did better than I thought he would, by not making a complete plum of himself. I'm sure there were more people at home who agreed with his Islamist line than the strange reaction from the lefties. How dare he mention it. Robertson was exactly what I thought he'd be. Pious. Even managing to shoe horn St Jo Cox in. God I hope he loses his seat. Farron was a complete lightweight. Annoying little twt. Rudd was ok. Don't particularly rate her, but she held her ground. Corbyn looked tired and irritable to me. The format suited him so I thought he'd do better. He's really had 2 years of campaigning to his members, so he's used to this sort of thing. He didn't come across with any more authority than the others. Being the only one there who could be PM, he should have resonated that, but didn't. He looked like an opposition leader, rather than a PM in waiting. He just hasn't got the gravitas. A missed opportunity imo. Lucas. Can't stand the women, but she's a class act. The winner imo. May. Just about got away with it. When the result is known & people look back, I suggest they'll decide she made the right choice to avoid this.For all their screw ups and useless campaign the Tories could come up with a win win next Thursday, an increased majority and Corbyn staying on.

Robertson is one pious way anchor. Talk he's in danger of losing his seat, so that's probably why they're giving him this opportunity to up his profile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doesn't work like that. I have a mate with contacts at Boscombe, he told me last summer (when we were talking about Mane) that nowadays agents will be given the price we're willing to sell at & they'll then tout him round. Any bidding war will only benefit the agent as he'll "influence " where they go. Our price is our price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it does happen and he then ****s off to a bigger club after a year, I presume you're not going to complain. Can't really can you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He even voted against the Anglo Irish agreement. That's not a quote from someone or opinion, that's a fact. A fact Corbyn seems to think can be swept under the carpet. Just like Abbott voting against proscribing al-Qaeda, she claimed it was because it would have also affected dissident groups. When Marr read out the "dissident groups" listed in the legislation, I just thought " this is bonkers". Because of her laughable "well I've changed my hairstyle " comment earlier, that bit of the interview got overlooked. With Alan Johnson leading the party, it would be damn close, these clowns are just handing the election to May on a plate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

EB: How much will it cost? JC: Er, it will cost, er. It will obviously cost a lot, we accept that. The complete & utter incompetence is staggering. Every single labour policy will be met with " how much will it cost" & " how are you going to fund it" , to not have that figure to hand beggars belief. God if the Tories could get 50/60 majority & keep Corbyn as the opposition leader, all their Xmas' will have come at once. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My best mate supports Town. We've been to 2 games together in the 30+ years we've known each other . League cup game at Dell where Matt smacked 4 past them & a midweek 5-0 at St Mary's. Here's hoping my run continues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Corbyn's not saying he's changed his mind, he's trying to rewrite history. Claiming he's never met the IRA, claiming he was working towards the peace process. He wasn't, he wanted the IRA to win. There's quotes all over the Internet from Mo Mowlem to Neil Kinnock, The Guardian & ex IRA men condemning Corbyn. He even voted against the Anglo Irish agreement FFS, him trying to claim he played some sort of part in the eventual peace in NI is quite frankly insulting people's intelligence. As much as his supporters want it to go away, it's not going to. Maybe, just maybe, he may have got away with it had he fronted up and admitted it, and if it was just him. But with McDonnell & Abbott , 3 IRA apologists leading the party is pretty hard to sweep under the carpet. Especially when all 3 of them keep tying themselves in knots over it. I'll say one thing for Jezza, he's done a great job of convincing some mugs he's a different sort of politician, when the reality is, he's a career politician who puts getting into power above his long held principles. Exactly the same as all the rest of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Provided they get a decent majority, the better Corbyn does the better for the Tories. Imagine the mayhem Abbott,Corbyn & other assorted loons will cause if they stay on. Surely it's got to be the moderates worst nightmare, Corbyn staying on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saints Transfers Thread - Deadline Day

If they could get Andy Carroll on the pitch him & Tadic could link up well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Which time were we lucky to play them? I suppose Koeman was unlucky to play them in the quarter final the year before. We played them 4 times spread over the whole season & they didn't beat us once, not only that but they didn't score a single goal (boring, Klopp out).They finished 4th & along the way battered a couple of sides. What is your obsession with doing Puel down over everything. It shows a lack of class to make out everything was poor or lucky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd have thought making things up was the last resort of the defeated. Correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to think the semi final was 2 legs. The first of which we absolutely battered them. If anyone was hanging on, it was them. That team that "everybody figured out how to beat", how did they end up. That was in Jan, I presume the last 4 months of the season was a struggle for them, because everybody had figured them out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What lefties don't seem to grasp is that Corbyn lied. I thought he was a different sort of politician, I thought he was supposed to be Honest Jez. When put under pressure by Andrew Neil he said "I never met the IRA". This is when people tend to lie, when they're under pressure. Whether Douglas Hurd, Maggie Thatcher, The Queen or Eddie Large met the IRA is irrelevant. Corbyn met them and now lies about it. Very Trump like behaviour, saying something blatantly untrue hoping it will go away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have one log in & I certainly aren't trolling. It's called having an opinion an airing that opinion. It is an honest opinion, but I don't get where this "really rate him" line came from as I've never said I "really rate him". For the benefit of doubt and to stop you putting words into my mouth this is my view. He's done a decent job in difficult circumstances & with the players he's been given. I don't think Ronald Koeman would have done a better job, had he not left. I think the football could be better but I'm encouraged by the development of some young players and his willingness to trust them. I thought beating Liverpool over 2 legs without Austin or VvD was a fantastic achievement and one of the best tactical displays I've seen from any Saints manager. Here is the most important bit; I do not think he deserves the sack after one season, I was critical of Koeman, Poch and certain players for using us and being disloyal, so practise what I preach. Loyalty is a 2 way street, I want it from players & mangers and I'll give it to players & managers. IF there is no improvement in results/performances by the middle of next season, then it maybe time to look again. I don't particularly rate him, or not rate him, I just think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. I would rather have Claude Puel as manager than somebody using this club as a stepping stone to bigger and better things , who will depart the first offer he gets. Oh,and just to add, I have a ST & do about 10 aways a season, as i notice that the pro Puel gang " must" miss more games than the Puel out bods. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
