Put your money on Leicester to get involved in a relegation battle next season. They would be relegated already had Puel not come in and rescued them.

I'd say this team is worse given how much money we've spent. We didn't spend enough money in 04/05. This time, we've just bought the wrong players entirely.

Has to be the standard 4-2-3-1

And a goal from a training session!!

Cheeky insurance bet just in case though...?

They should be cancelled for sure, it would be a PR disaster for the club given what a dreadful season we've had.

Bednarek should be starting for us next season if we go down so it makes sense to keep playing him. A solid season in the Championship, we get promoted and he goes on to be a Saints legend, captaining us to our eventual Champions League win in 2022.

Mané doesn't get booed because he didn't act like a ****. Lallana, Lovren, VVD... all dicks.

Real Madrid or Bayern Munich will be a different kettle of fish entirely. Let's not forget Klopp's record in finals, it's not great.

Who is this "perfect management team" exactly? Reed and Krueger?? Christ alive.

I was sitting right next to the Chelsea fans and they did not outsing us at all. Even when we were losing we were the ones doing all the singing.

Anthony Taylor is the referee

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11698/11339352/richard-garlick-to-leave-west-brom-to-become-premier-league-director-of-football Bad news for Les Reed... the Premier League have chosen West Brom's director of football instead for their new role.

The best way we can market ourselves in China (and indeed, anywhere around the world) is by playing in the Premier League. Therefore, if that is Gao's primary motivation, then hopefully no expense will be spared in ensuring we achieve promotion at the earliest opportunity.

He'll go to Leicester to replace Mahrez.

If Les Reed were to leave, do you think Ronald Koeman would ever return? I'd have him back, in terms of our league positions, he is our greatest ever manager in the Premier League era. Only blip was our cup performances.

Garbage. We were easily the best teams in both those leagues, he wasn't here for the whole season in League 1 and Reading got lucky.

On a related note - what has happened to Romeu?? He was immense for us last season, easily our best player. Now he gives the ball away too often, doesn't tackle as well as he used to, it's remarkable how worse he is.

PLEASE can one of the mods change the thread title, wtf is 'Boscome' ?????

Everton look crap. No reason why we can't beat them.

I thought Hoedt was excellent against Leicester. He hasn't been consistent enough and there are areas where he can improve. I'd be surprised if the club sold him in the summer even if we were to go down. The club won't want to make a loss on him and I don't see many willing to pay seven figures for him.

We were in the relegation zone when he joined us. Had he been with us from the start of the season, we would have won League 1 easily. Sadly we were already too far behind Brighton to catch them up.

I don't think Hoedt is as bad as people make out. Not as good as Fonte and VVD obviously.

Hull are scoring for fun, although defensively they are a bit suspect. At least we'd stop playing for 0-0 draws! Feel like Redmond and Sims would flourish under an attacking manager like him. The fans need a lift and a bit of positivity, so yes I would take him back. I'd be happy with Hughes too though.
