We did play well for a little bit, but sadly we can never perform for 90 minutes.

I think we need another motivational Krueger speech.

Incorrect. I just don't think he's the main problem and am able to take a more balanced and reasoned outlook on the situation, you should try it.

Good, those suggesting Allardyce are deluded, the stuff served up in reason seasons would be like Guardiola's City in comparison. I'd like the foreign route, although let's avoid Spain please.

Shame it took us to concede three goals before we actually started to compete. Shame on the lazy players.

The comeback is on!!!!!!

Can we at least have a shot at goal? Is that too much to ask for?

My attempts at optimism have seemingly failed. I'm firmly on the Hughes out train now. Get him out. Utterly embarrassing.

Personally I like that team. Confident about my Long prediction.

Shane Long will score today.

Perhaps Hughes has been instructed to start including some of the young players

I've just got a feeling about today... don't know why, but something in the air tells me we're going to get something today.

Sounds like Watford were all over them, missed loads of chances. No doubt that they won't be so generous next weekend...

Sensitive

True, Fulham took many teams apart last season. But under Pellegrino we beat them fairly comfortably in the cup.

I said this last season and I'll say it again - defensively we're too good to go down. Our problem at the moment is scoring goals but we're not leaking goals at the moment and historically it's teams who can't defend that go down. And there are three worse teams than us in the league, we haven't been in the relegation zone at any point.

MLG - Why is Martin Hunter unemployed on the game? He still works for us

On Football Manager, I just played Man City away. We drew 2-2 with them, Shane Long scoring twice, including a goal after 30 seconds.

Cut

We only lost on aggregate to them 3-1 last season, it was 4-1 the previous season (even though we did get a point up there, Redmond scored a goal!) I'm afraid though that it really is a case of how many they will score. I just hope that we make some sort of a game of it, because we simply rolled over against Liverpool and Chelsea.

Oh I hope so, this thread needs a boost of some kind. I remember when we got through multiple pages in one day, now it's one page every couple of months.

I think Palace, Everton and Leicester spend more than us. Palace gave Zaha a bumper new deal which pushed them higher. West Ham on that chart seem a bit too low as well.

Seen a few posts on twitter of Saints fans laying shirts and scarves at the stadium. Nice to see, and certainly the gestures were very much appreciate by Leicester supporters.

Good to see. I really do think he can be a big player for us in the future, a bit of Lallana to him. Hopefully without flipping like a burger.
