It does actually. Just like Nicholl -> Br*nf**t, Luggy -> Wigley, and Pearson -> Poortvliet did.

True. And that's what forced a decent manager Luggy out. We all know what a disaster that led to. History is repeating itself. He'd keep us up.

...

If we can sell him for a decent wedge, and use the dosh to get in a striker who can score goals, and a goalkeeper who can make saves, we'll be in good shape.

With our physios' track record a "minor niggle" could mean half a season out.

If we would've bought him in 2013 we would've sold him in 2014.

Our Pelle did pretty well for them.

It's not that arrogant to reject Everton's approach.

I wouldn't say no. We desperately need someone who knows where the back of the net is. He's not been at his best for a while, but maybe worth a short term loan (if no-one better is available).

If he was world class I'd turn a blind eye to all of that. But he's not, so I wholeheartedly agree.

Yep. We're ****ed.

They certainly aren't. They still have to play Sevilla and Moscow, and need a win against one of them to guarantee going through.

Burnley's reserve goalie is streets ahead of FF. If the two had been switched in our last match I reckon we would've won 2-0. I can't understand why Reed and co. can't figure out our crap GK situation (and lack of quality striker).

I think you mean if Pulis leaves? Don't forget the 3 certainties in life: death, taxes, and Pulis never gets relegated.

With Liverpool, City and Spurs coming up, and FF in goal, it looks like you have some enjoyable matches to look forward to.

Utd also let in three goals.

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm also wondering how they failed to deduce that we needed to sign a frontman who can score goals (this summer and last), or a decent back up gk, or a replacement for Fonte when he left, or .....

I was apparently watching a different cup final, where we had a perfectly good goal disallowed, and outplayed them for much of the match.

Only if they're stupid enough to sack Pulis. His teams never get relegated.

I think at the time the players also loved Wigley and Gray.

Too many coincidences. Six previous appointments have seen his clubs do disastrously, and since he came here we're heading the same way. He's not solely to blame of course, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to put 2 and 2 together and deduce that he's not up to it.

Dear Scotland, Please sign him up permanently. He's even better than Burley, honest. We won't even ask for compensation this time. Love, Saints

Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Oh, just like what we did.
