Dark Munster

Can we borrow some of theirs?

"Claude Puel insists he remains focussed on improving Saints’ fortunes in the Premier League and not on signing a new striker in January." Anyone with half a brain reads this as Claude is not focussing on signing a new striker in January at this time. It doesn't mean he won't be signing one.

.. and a team managed by Pulis never gets relegated.

If you do, please make sure you go as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Yes, but that's just papering over the cracks.

Yes, that's quite common amongst crap players.

Arsenal?

Behave. He put in some very good crosses with his right, and played fine overall.

Another nice ball in from Cuco the clown.

That should help. Or maybe not.

Definitely those three.

Neither would I. But some Leicester fans are starting to turn on CR. We're not the only club with fickle fans.

We need a quality striker who knows where the back of the net is.

Let's cut out the "Puel is negative" bollocks, and cut to the chase. http://www.footcharts.co.uk/index.cfm?task=basics_shotsontarget We need a quality striker who knows where the back of the net is.

Along with losing Mane and Pele.

Make sure you bet your house on that.

We're only 3 matches away from qualifying again.

I thought the line-up was fine last night. Ok, Fonte was rested, but he's not getting any younger and Yoshida has been doing fine. I certainly don't blame Puel for that (unlike MP for the Sunderland FA cup debacle). Yes, but you have to realise that Forster's nightmare against Palace and Beer's one (spectacular) shot on goal going in (ditto Inter's at the San Siro) means Puel must go. Comfortably mid-table and in the semis of the League Cup is no excuse.

Demand your money back.

Yes we were actually. Anyway, I was disagreeing with someone earlier saying that if we play for 0-0 we'll definitely go out. I'm not saying we should park the bus. I liked that Echo piece, Claude should play his strongest team, including Austin and Romeu. Fonte too, although Yoshida has been good.

Yes, but we still drew 0-0.
