Just seen Sky's advert for the Cuo Final and as to be expected it's all about United and The Special One with us getting a few seconds at the end of the ad. Shades of '76, step forward Dusan Tadic, my tip to be the Saints hero

i agree, he will end up with one of the really big clubs either here or more likely Spain. He won't hang around a club still living in the late 70's - early 90's

Quite frankly after his performance last week Jay-Rod was lucky to be on the bench. as has been said I suspect he will leave in the summer, it's a shame but I really don't think he will get back to the form he showed before that awful injury. Maybe that's a big part of his frustration, who knows ?

Didn't see that coming, feared the worst today, but very well done Saints. Perfect prep for Wembley

Safe to assume the Bertrand at CB possibility isn't going to happen at all then ! Have to feel sorry for Shane Long as well, hits a bit of goal scoring form and gets benched ! i just don't get this manager I'm afraid.

So although they are bottom we are playing against a team that scored four goals away last week, have a striker in excellent form and at a ground where our record isn't the best having cone off a 3-1 home defeat. We are in a run of form whereby if we let in a goal the pressure is really on to get something given our lack of being able to take our chances and we gave absolutely no idea what team the genius manager will select for the game. is it any wonder the confidence for getting the three points is a bit low among the supporters ?

For one it was in October, secondly the cyclist is fine but you wouldn't get that from the Sun's story, and thirdly Austin attended to the guy at the scene. its a non story but don't let that stop you building it up. on my way home tonight a cyclist just pulled straight out of a side road in front of me without even looking. But there's no chance this would have been the cyclist's fault, bound to be the money bags super ego footballer eh ?

almost certainly

obviously investigating the options and possibilities of him acting as stand in for VVD

speak for yourself

well that's fair enough isn't it ?

I think it's worth a go, but seriously doubt Mr Puel will, he seems as stubborn as his friend Mr Wenger.

well we have had very little in terms of excitement in the league up to now so I can see where you are coming from

Pardew gets a lot of stick but if you look at his last three jobs the only team who has gone upwards since his departure is us. Both Newcastle and Palace have gotten worse, Newcastle went down and the legend that is Fat Sam isn't looking very clever at Palace as yet.

we need to win four of the remaining games, we are fortunate that their are 6 teams below us who are 6 points or more behind us, they cant all have great runs to lift them out of trouble. The only problem i have is i cant for the life of me see where those four wins are coming from, three maybe but that would be really touch and go ! Of course once we win a match the next one mentally looks easier and winnable, its when in a losing run like this you just cant see the next point let alone three !

David Wagner at Huddersfield. Against Brighton the other night they were superb, they pressed them all game, didnt give them a second and played the way we used to under Poch. Excellent coach, just the sort that would fit Saints criteria.

wheres he going ? I can put a few quid on it well in advance

Excellent post

well that's a fair point to be honest BUT the lack of decent CB isn't the reason the football is such ****e !

No I am annoyed at Puel and Reed for much worse than that. I am referring to the fact the manager spoke about playing Bertrand at CB as a possibility and then he doesn't bother to do it, so why talk about it ? Today would have been ideal with West Ham playing a big CF as Man Utd do. It worked out last year, even Puel referred to that, and playing Mc Queen at left back wouldn't have hurt us offensively either !

Sideways, sideways, back, sideways, back then lump the ball upfront for nobody in particular. Absolute ****e ! Fonte knew exactly what they would do so briefing his new team mates and manager would have taken a couple of minutes. First 10-15 mins tend to be pretty good then the next 75 mins is crap, been like it nearly all season at home. Its rubbish football.

If those players pull a performance out of the bag at Wembley that would be a big indication, I think, that they aren't playing for this manager and therefore he will have to go !

Even poor old Dave Merrington on Solent is getting really exasperated with Puel, he's not alone. All this talk about trying Bertrand at Centre Back. Today would have been a good test so dies it happen ? Does it **** !

Good question. All they refer to now is making sure when you order tickets you do it in the ticket holders name so it shows on their purchase history. i understood there would be points given for attending away matches, early cup games, friendlies and so on that would credit you with more points the less attractive the game was.

No mine worked fine - when you get to the purchase page after selecting your tickets he should be listed in the drop down where your name currently will be ?
