Katalinic

Probably best we are out - would have felt very awkward getting to the final.

Ha ha, he is conspicuous by his absence today.

Pleased for JayRod , what a strike. Davis changed the game. Very good win away at a tough ground. Living near Bournemouth it is great to shut the locals up for a bit, now looking forward to replying to those texts I got at 1-0.

Shortest team selection ever...defending set pieces might be a worry.

The new Southampton Way is impotent football

In November Reed said: "If they go after 80 days, fingers need to be pointed at the people who recruit. "When managers are appointed usually they want lots of changes. They want to bring their own staff, they want money to spend. If you go down that route you are putting everything you have built at risk. "Our manager is a coach. The process is, 'are we the right fit for you, are you the right fit for us?' That is why it goes through several stages." I'm not sure you have got this one right Les. The football is boring, incohesive and the previously much vaunted Southampton Way appears to have disappeared from the club PR. Puel however is not helped by a questionable recruitment policy this summer which has resulted in a squad that lacks quality and pace but includes a midfield who don't look like they have ten goals in them collectively, let alone each. A missed opportunity and fans are rightly asking questions.

This

Please stop quoting the ****

Don't players get a % of the fee? So if Saints agree to sell VVD it is actually in his interests for us to get a higher fee.

Please stop quoting all of the annoying ****s - thanks.

That had **** all to do with the defeat today. All our own doing.

Great thread

The first goal was calamitous but the defence have been missing for the other two.

Awful awful performance at both ends of the pitch.

Exactly.

You forgot Dalek and Saint Robbie. Would be nice to rotate them to another forum.

Indeed.

He will go back and edit that one I expect.

I'm expecting Saint Robbie to appear any second.

Based on your prediction record, the last thing anybody should do is believe you.

I think he might be a "forum character's" alter ego.

Says the idiot who has got every single prediction wrong over the past 6 years

Not before the other trolls who have already appeared.

FF doing that has been on the cards for a while

Admire your attitude, it's important you are positive after the disappointment of Wednesday - the forum felt for you that night.
