Has anyone got a decent link? Mine is very laggy

This really is dreadful

WE GOT A CORNER!!!!

Whatever happens I don’t think we’ll sack him.

Looking at the positives, I’m hoping Targett gets down their left flank. If he puts in some of his superb crosses, Austin could get a lot of chances today.

I know people didn’t like Puel’s rotation but at least there was some logic behind it. There’s no logic to this at all. The only thing I agree with is starting Austin. Definitely play Gabbiadini at Wembley.

Has he lost the plot???! Redmond somehow starts. No Romeu or Hojbjerg, probably our best midfield pairing at the moment. So let’s play Davis who is badly out of form and unfit Lemina. I don’t get it. I really don’t get it.

Pellegrino said that he only wanted fully committed players playing for us. Nobody can say that VVD has played with 100% commitment this season. So let’s take the money and move on.

It is the time of Christmas miracles...

I’m hoping for a fast paced start where we blitz them in the first fifteen minutes and score at least two goals. The Northam goes wild and their intense support for the remainder of the match spurs the team on to a famous thrashing. Is that too much to ask for?

If the club hesitate in bringing in a replacement coach, that could be a sign that Pellegrino’s position isn’t secure.

Fratton Park has had its capacity increased by a whopping 738 seats! The sleeping giant is roaring back

Brendan would be a brilliant manager for us, of that I have no doubt. Personally I reckon it’d be a bit of a coup if he were to come here at some point.

20 is still pretty young. As long as he stays fit and works hard, there's no reason why he can't make it here. Deserves a chance for sure.

If we do sell him, make sure it's AFTER we've done our own business. If other clubs know we've got loads of money to burn they will rip us off. That's assuming we are going to be in the market. We sold Fonte and then dithered around and had to bring in Caceres on a free, so who knows what Les will be up to.

Swansea just aren't a very good side. Which says a lot about us that we couldn't beat them on the opening day...

I'm going for VVD personally

If the players liked him, then I'm glad he's gone. I've got the feeling that our players are a bit snowflakey and don't like criticism very much.

Avoid defeat and it will ensure we will go two whole months with only one home loss #positivethinking

We will stay up regardless. There are at least three teams (and more) worse than us. Same with Everton, they were never in a million years going down. And Allardyce has admitted himself that he isn't responsible for their upturn in form. They'll do 'OK' but Everton clearly have their sights on much more than 'OK'. Same as us (according to Les Reed anyway...). Your comment about football intelligence, considering how many things you have got wrong recently, is laughable.

The last time we managed to beat a top 6 team ;)

They've only scored in two away games this season. We've thrashed them on all their previous visits to St Mary's. 0-1 it is then.

Blimey he's only 31. Seems like he's been around for ages.
