Charlie Austin ‏ @chazaustin10 That was mouldy ????

Funny how he all the time three years ago to all of these media interviews, and now is very unwilling to speak in the press. Has he gone shy, I wonder why he's reluctant to appear these days?

Stoke fans are comfortably the worst set of fans in the league, and possibly all of English football. You won't meet a set of more bitter, deluded people anywhere, except perhaps down the road towards the eastern end of the M27.

I imagine he'll get a job with one of Spain's clubs quite easily.

The West Ham game will be fun, Mark Hughes will be desperate to get one over Arnautovic http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11701/11175946/mark-hughes-criticises-marko-arnautovic-after-pair-clash-in-west-ham-win

Yup, but anything is better than Pellegrino, and hopefully an ‘OK’ manager will be able to do enough.

Batman can call me a snob, but Mark Hughes would be thoroughly underwhelming.

I hope you’re right SKD. I’d prefer Marco Silva to Hughes.

He’ll be remembered as the worst manager we’ve ever had in my lifetime. So at least he can say he’ll always be remembered by Saints fans. Sadly not for the right reasons.

They're discussing tonight's news on three separate threads over on POL... but they definitely don't care about us at all, no sir

This is from Pompey Online...

I'm not old at all I'd only want him until the end of the season, he certainly isn't the long term option. But he could give us the short term push that we need.

No doubt if we stay up, he'll be doing the media rounds at the end of the season, congratulating himself on appointing the manager who got us to safety.

Martinez - has Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku etc.. or Tadic, Redmond and Long.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tough choice.

Why would we do that though? Makes no sense to me at all.

According to Simon Peach, Davis and Watson will be taking training for the time being.

Pellegrino gone... One win away from Wembley... Austin near the first team... the good times are coming back

Anything on social media from the players? Or have they all been told to keep quiet?

I wouldn't mind Vieira, but he's just started the new MLS season with NYCFC, so I can't see him leaving.

I don't think Guardiola could do anything with Sunderland. They may as well stick with him and let him rebuild, sacking their manager every season hasn't got them anywhere.

As I've said before, this is the most unlikable set of players I think we've ever had.

Strachan would be brilliant, the players wouldn't know what hit them. Probably Marco Silva though, he's the best option I can think of.

Fantastic news! Now get someone in who can kick these players' arses into gear, who in my opinion, irrespective of the poor tactics, have let Pellegrino down massively.
