  1. He did a very job but still not enough goals and still conceding goals late on.
  2. Yes they probably hate Hughes and want him relegated perfectly understandable to me far from pathetic just a bit of a joke
  3. For two seasons we have needed a striker who can scores regularly and an AM who is consistent creates and scores goals like most of the other teams in the PL Finding them is the difficult bit Boufal seemed a good buy but has proved very disappointing so has Gabbadini. But the main change should be that the club buys more experienced players to play with our youngsters and make certain they have physical presence.. A indepth study needs to be carried out on the Academy to see why there are not many top class players playing regularly in the PL

    Les seems to have played a blinder to me. A Cup Final a Cup Semi Final two years in Europe finishes in the PL I could only have dreamed of. When things went wrong stayed calm pull the trigger at the right time brought Hughes in which hopefully has kept us in the PL Now lets see who he brings in to join a battle hardened team for next season when hopefully we can score some more goals. I think the turning point was not Hughes but bringing in McCarthy who is my MOM I would be interested to know when he became fully fit because Forster was a disaster for a season or more.
  5. Goodison Park
  6. Don't blame the ref blame the players so many times this season they have bottled it and let points slip away in the last few minutes
  7. Swansea don't need to win
  8. Yep I remember it well as I was there no Terry Paine that day which was a shame I think Ossie finally scored a goal WE were the first club that finished three from bottom to get relegated will probably happen again next week
  9. Liverpool is a great club and it was not surprising VVD Mane Clyne Lallana and Lovren left to join them it must be great to play in a European Final
  10. I just cannot see using staying up
  11. Need a point at least from this game otherwise we are likely to go down
  12. McCarthy must be a candidate for Player of the season but Tadic is my MOM for his two goals which got us 3 points
  13. The players who left to go to Liverpool Man U Arsenal and Tottenham need to play at top clubs if they are to realise their full talent
  14. Its his club for ****s sake he can do with it what ever he wants
  15. Well said sir I lived through all that and also watched the Saints keep a 1 0 lead v Leeds to go to Wembley for the League Cup Final the longest 75 mins of my life. Another sort of highlight was when we were in Div 1 I watched Hartlepool a team that always seem to be going out of the Football League but never did until recently. By the way I have a friend who is a Manchester City fan who has gone through what we are going through at the moment but his commitment to his club has paid off. He may get me a ticket for the Saints game but in the last year I have seen two games with him neither of which City
  16. Pretty good goal according to the BBC. Very good players score good goals we don't have any unfortunately don't always blame our defenders
  17. Don't feel very confident about this game Pretty strange team
  18. Sorry Surrey 211 all out not 201
  19. If 201 is hard day in the field I don't think Hampshire will mind Four wickets for both Dawson and Edwards No Berg is he injured
  20. Like most on here not very good at predicting results. Many think it is easy buying in players and getting them to perform consistently like predicting results it is not easy. However I think we should have signed a couple of experience players to help the youngsters and close down games
  21. Top of the League http://www.espncricinfo.com/table/series/8052/county-championship-division-one May go on Monday

    Claude Puel

    Probably one of our best PL positions I would have thought
  23. We got Toby on loan when he had the chance for him to come here he chose Spurs I think you have to be realistic top close defenders do not want to come here. Yes Lovren and VVD turned out well but they were not expensive and wanted to develop in the PL which I think is what Hoedt wanted to do when he signed as he was a Dutch international. Fonte was bought in Div 1 and like Morgan and Lallana developed with us. It is easy to say we should get in top CBs but which ones were available and have wanted to come here in the last 18 months. Like me you have no idea who the club has targeted I still think our main problem is the academy as we have not developed any top class regular PL players in the last five years just like what happened when we were relegated in 2005
  24. It is all well and good saying not replacing with a top class defender but who and where was one coming from. Of course theoretically you are right but practically it was impossible to do. Top class CBs are like rocking horse **** and would not want to come to SFC. Fonte VVD and Lovren were not top class when they arrived and each cost less than Hoedt Like wise Mane and Pelle cost less than Boufal and Redmond Recruiting players is not a science some are good but most do not fit in
