Dark Munster

He's been a manager for decades. Any reports from France that he can't handle professional footballers?

Stam has just called penalties a lottery. The same mentality that has made England such a force at penalty shoot outs.

If that's true it says more about those players than it does about Claude.

Sack a manager who is doing ok but is unpopular because he doesn't match up to his predecessor, and replace him with Reading's manager? It's deja vu all over again.

Indeed. I like to think of us as the rational, thoughtful, intelligent, handsome/beautiful ones.

I rate him. At least high enough that he deserves a second season. Honest.

I can. Bring in a quality striker to join Gabbi and Austin, a quality DM to supplement Romeu, a quality CB to play alongside VVD, and a quality GK to back-up/alternate with FF. Get rid of JRod and Black. Sorted. Claude will become a legend.

Mane-esque. Sign him up!

Ditto. Anywhere but to those bastards. (I can safely exclude the possibility to the paupers to the east).

Not as impressive as this one.

Yes, but it is a Nicholl situation.

True. You need to take into account a trip to Wembley as well.

Indeed. As I mentioned before, we could have Nicholl-Branfoot all over again.

Sums it up for me too. I'm old enough to remember the Nicholl-out mob winning and of course the disastrous consequences. And we don't have an MLT to save us this time if Les appoints a Br*nf**t.

Oi, I'm still here. Puel in! Eric Black out.

So you agree that Puel has exceeded expectations and deserves a contract extension?

Amazing how he does that, despite always playing his favourites.

47 goals conceded in 37.5 matches. 8th best in the league, and with both 1st choice CBs out for much of the season. Yes, hilarious.

And you ignore that's when we lost our best player and captain to injury (and our other CB to West Ham).

Top post. Shame it'll fly right over the Puel-out mob's heads though.

I certainly underrate the mistress. But good luck to him, I'm sure he's a very nice person.

Eric Black has left Southampton football club by mutual consent. Nigel Pearson returns to the club as assistant coach to Claude Puel, to sort out player fitness issues, and to give them a good kick up their cry-baby bums when necessary.

Good point. I also heard that if we have a negative goal difference we will have to enter at an earlier qualifying stage (early July I think).

Romeu too. I don't know why he always has to play him. And why he only picks his favourites. And why he keeps rotating as well. Branf**t in!!!!!
