I think loads of other fans are going over the top it was highly likely that Spurs would win tonight especially as we dont have any outstanding attackers at the moment Very few of our players would get into top sides like Spurs that is why our better players leave to go to top teams. Our players are good but not outstanding I just do not understand why when they get beaten by a better team loads of people say they are rubbish we are a top 10 team not a top 6 team and will lose games like we did tonight. We are just not going to be able to recruit strikers like Kane and keep them for any length of time unfortunately because we are small in comparison to the top clubs

Why dont you ****ing support the team instead of ****ing whingeing when they lose you really are a crap supporter. By the way how many Saints players would get into the Spurs team not many if any apart from VVD as they have better players than us

I fully understand your your inability to discuss the issues which are relevant to the UK leaving the EU because you have little idea of them many of which you think do not affect you but certainly do affect other people . Unlike you who come across as a loud mouth selfish knowall who thinks everything he feels is correct I have a social conscience and realise that leaving the EU is going to cause hardship and problems for many fellow citizens and is a wrong decision for the security and long term financial and social prosperity of the country. You will eventually realise that the so called project fear is the truth and you will have been sold a pup and then you will get angry but I wonder who you will then blame

So your take is mostly dont know not able to answer and has not happened yet despite the majority people who know about the subjects saying it is likely to happen. Of course I agree with your answers regarding repatriation but the people who are affected no doubt are suffering quite a bit at the moment and should be told what is going to happen so they can plan for the rest of their lives .

Really so perhaps you can answer some of these questions Have you seen a plan? Remind me, what does Brexit mean? What’s your problem with parliament? Do you know what the odds of winning in a game of 27 to 1 are? What’s great about being out on your own? Tell me precisely which EU regulations you want to get rid of? Have you seen that £350 million a week bonus yet? Precisely what control have you got back? Are you expecting two million UK nationals living in the EU to return home soon? How are you going to decide who you’re sending home? Do you know what someone who is forced to leave the country where they live is called? How are you going to make sure the NHS has the nurses it needs when we impose migration controls in 2019? Which UK universities are you happy to see go bust because of a shortage of EU students? Do you know who picks most of the UK’s fruit and veg? Who do you think will be doing so in the future? Why are you so keen to deny our young people the chance to live, learn and work abroad? The EU was intended to prevent war ever happening again in Europe. How does leaving help that? What’s the plan? How is increased paperwork for every single import and export going to save British business money? How precisely will we be better off when we have to pay tariffs on most things we import? We import more than we export. How are we going to win from tariffs? How are the 30,000 new civil servants working on Brexit cutting red tape? Did you want to encourage Northern Ireland and Scotland to leave the UK? When the City is based in Frankfurt where will you find replacement tax revenues? Did you want the UK to be a tax haven with no chance if you benefitting? What is it that the Australians are going to buy more of from the UK? Where are you going on holiday next year? Expecting a warm welcome?

Sanctimonious rubbish the electorate had little idea what they were voting for and what the ramifications of leaving the EU are. Most who voted out thought leaving would have no affect on their standard of living which is going to be cruelly exposed in the next few months You just wait and see

Lord King is expressing an opinion which is not based on any facts just like most Brexiteers but if the the things mentioned in the article come to fruition things will look bad. Brexit still looks to me dumbest decision ever taken by British people worry now is who will be blamed when none of promised benefits get delivered?

This does not look very encouraging for the future The Trump administration planning to exploit BREXIT for the benefit of the US http://www2.politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2016/12/25/a-worrying-christmas-present-for-the-brexiteers-from-team-trump/ Dozens of UK banks and financial firms 'looking at moving to Ireland' https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/25/uk-banks-financial-firms-moving-ireland

Why? He cannot make it with a team placed 6th he may have peaked and is now on a downward curve

It shows we are the third most unlucky team in the PL. Perhaps we can get lucky in 2017 and improve our league position

Perhaps the Club unlike you do not want to flog these players to death and think they deserve a rest fair play to SFC

I thought as you are a trade unionist you would be pleased that the club preferred to for go profit to ensure that the youngsters from the U23s were given time off before Christmas in regonition for their endevors during the first half of the season

I thought the club had given the players a few days off before XMAS

Really what have you heard Just because there are some greedy unprincipled bastards in Switzerland does not mean that the population as a whole are unprincipled bastards. Its like saying Austria is full of hysterical and attention seeking Saints Fans just because Alpine Saint is there

You mean unlike the British who pillaged and invaded half the world

It is plain for all to see that the usual suspects are more than just voicing frustration but are deliberately seeking attention ! All IMHO of course too. Realistically sometimes Saints play well sometimes they play crap whilst the opposition play well sometimes and sometimes they play crap. That is football it is a funny old game but having followed the Saints since the 1950s I have seen some great performances but loads have been mediocre and some have been dire. But the last four or five seasons have been the best for good consistent performances that I have seen Saints play in the Top Division something I never thought I would say ten years ago

Koeman and Puel have both done decent jobs in different circumstances But Puel looks a better fit has he seems to have more confidence in the younger playersi

Well done Daws a fifty that will show Vincey how to bat in Test Matches

Well done to Liam now a Test Cricketer who would have believed a couple of years ago when he was loaned out to Essex

Puel was bought in to develop this young squad so they will be better next season which it probably will be if we are not in Europe. He has done pretty well in rotation because of the sheer number of games but having a settled team playing week in and week out would probably have led to better results in the PL. In previous seasons other English clubs in the Europa League have performed badly in the PL. Losing Mane and Pelle obviously has had an affect which is not surprising but if Long and JRod had scored three or four goals each things would have been a great deal better as the team is based on a tight defence I think only Chelsea and Spurs have conceded less. Of course another striker would be welcome but finding a suitable one to come to SFC and fit in with the other players may have been difficult.

What a lot of whingers Semi Final of League Cup 9th in League after lots of games in Europa Cup youngsters being brought through not many goals being scored but quite a lot being missed. Long and Rodriques are International Strikers it is hardly Puel's fault that they are not scoring if they were things would look a great deal better I dont know what the fans want but realistically 7 to 10 in the PL and a good run in a cup is what we can expect from the team. But yes a new striker and a few goals would be great and probably this will happen soon

Why is the manager rubbish when the players cannot score goals surely the players should be doing better. Jay Rod is on about 50k a week but may have cost us a place in the Euro League and two points tonight

Yes but by not letting in many goals you dont have to score that many to win

I would settle for a draw

10th in the PL Semi Final of League Cup unlucky to be knocked out of Euro League on away goals with ten or so minutes to go. Not bad I would have thought with lots of injuries to key players lots of games and a young team which is going to develop and become better. Yes we need an outstanding striker but there are not many of them wanting to come to Southampton . I think the future is looking good
