Dark Munster

This, in a nutshell. Bring in Nasty Nige Pearson to sort out our appalling injury record, have Reed bring in quality players to fill some obvious holes, and then I'm looking forward to Puel orchestrating an exciting campaign next season.

^^^^^ Naughty. BTW shouldn't there have been a score spoiler alert in the thread title?

It's slipping away.

Some serious attacking talent in that team. Ours isn't bad either. I predict goals.

Leicester had their pants pulled down as well.

No, no, no. It's all Puel's fault. Do keep up!

Very true. Liverpool were again unable to score against us. No change there, four matches and counting.

Poch's trophy cabinet.

Another single-figure score by Carberry. Time to drop him for 1 day matches?

Good grief, this thread has exploded. I couldn't be bothered to read through the dross, but I'm sure it's full of anti-Puel drivel fueled by a recent down turn of a team at the beach not doing well against motivated teams with everything to play for. Any news if Bertrand has head-butted Puel, or vice versa?

We're 3 points behind WBA in 8th, and 3 points ahead of Palace in 16th. A huge swing in final position possibilities (and hence money).

It wasn't that bad a penalty, I've seen much, much worse. It was a very good save by the keeper. Agreed though that it would be nice to have a Rickie/MLT quality penalty taker.

Allow me.

That's my guess.

Whitey Grandad is going roll over in his grave.

None of those adequately replaced Mane and Big Vic. Hojbjerg has potential but he's nowhere near Big Vic's level (yet). And how does his colour come into it?

It was a bit of a Les Reed-ish comment wasn't it? Not to mention not replacing Big Vic. We were lucky Romeu didn't get a major injury.

Quality replacement for JRod Decent competition for FF Quality replacement for Fonte Quality replacement for Big Vic Assuming no-one (apart from JRod) leaves.

I would say that's something of an exaggeration. For the first 45 minutes we matched them.

You mean like we did for most of the 90s?

Imagine if Edwards hadn't got injured. A 3-0 start would have been a possibility, against arguably the two best teams. And what is it with Saints, and now Hants, with injuries?
