....anybody remember what the senior players had to say when we let Chris Nichol go and brought in Ian Branfoot...

[TO MP & PLAYERS] I Just Want You To Know, We're All Counting On You!!!

Watching W Ham vs QPR. W Ham horrendous. Missed 2 sitters and then went behind, done nothing but hoof it to Chamakh since and he just falls over when the ball arrives...

Perhaps the plan was to bring him in knowing that we'd likely only get 1-3 points out of those three anyway. Would have been worse if we had a bunch of winnable games thrown away while he learns the ropes. I am not happy at this appointment, but I am still a Saints fan. He is under enormous pressure, even more than Nige I would think. **** this up and his career is in tatters.

I was one of the ones who said, "who?" when we signed Adkins, but he has done a fantastic job. Probably the most enjoyable spell that I have had as a Saints fan and I started supporting them in 1981. Going to be gutted when he takes some other club to a better position than us. Got a feeling that in 5 years Saints will regret this decision.

Gutted, not excited about Saints now. Hope this works out for Saints. I will never forget how we canned Nichol as he had "taken as far as he could" and brought in Branfoot to "take us to the next level"...

True that. Having just watched the EPL highlights show they put on here, it was really noticeable the way the likes of Man U, City, Spurs, Chelsea and to some extent Arsenal move the ball around with such quick incisive passing in the final third. Sad to say they make Saints look really slow and predictable. I just wish the likes of Puncheon, Lallana (when fit) and Gaston would take less time on the ball and either pass it off into space or take a potshot at goal. Loads of goals scored from outside the 18 in this weeks show, and often our boys get into a great position to shoot but dwell on it and get crowded off the ball.

And yet when we were L1 you did nothing but complain and say Bournemouth were the team we should aspire to be... When we were Champ everything was done wrong in the off-season and we should worry about the ominous charges of Birmingham and Boro... I am glad you aren't making the decisions at Saints... And now we have done everything wrong in the off-season again...

dat ass!

Saw the replay was a blatant dive. Still we have had so many stone-wallers turned down this season...

Really scrappy, we are not quick enough to get into space and passing really sloppy at times. A brighter note is that Turkish looks awesome in that 'stashe and Frenchman outfit!

It feels like it is just us, but ages ago I took a look at late goals conceded and we actually scored more late ones than we conceded over a 10 year period in the Prem. Moreover, clubs in a similar position (and even some better ones) concede a lot in these time periods too. We just feel that it is only us as we are only emotionally invested in Saints and don't really notice other teams as much.

Can't listen to those commentators for another minute, they seem desperate to get on the field ans suck chelsea dik...

Ba Looked offside when the ball was played in...

We will suffer the backlash at the weekend...great!

****, the likes of Sunderland, Norwich etc beating Man C, Arsenal etc. ****'s sake, we should have won yesterday, we never seem to get a shock win, this is disastrous.

Now you hit the net Guly...nice!

Scrappy match. Abysmal passing from us so far. I wish Ramerez would pull the trigger rather than run into defenders and fall over all the time, he's been a real disappointment considering the hoops we jumped through to get him. Boruc not helping my nerves either, is it the gloves our keepers wear? All 3 are really shaky in the air.

Wow. Pathetic.

Guly tried to blast it, could (and probably has) cost us 2 or 3 points...

this is going to be 5-1 Stoke...

80 mins to hold on...might build a fort in the living room...

So according to the forum trolls/bullies we were scared of Liverpool, whereas brave Villa stood up to them and won, and us beating Villa has no baring on anything so can we expect to lose by double figures to Chelsea or will we just default the game....?

Shouldn't be losing to **** like this, no idea why we blow hot and cold all the time...

Mayuka could be 55th best in the world if he's bloody shoot when he gets into the box..
