The strongest team we have at the moment. Will really show where we are in the pecking order...

You are saying we are about to end up with the Oriental equivalent of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named-Otherwise-SOGGY-Turns-Up-And-Gets-All-Uppity ??? Thanks for ruining my day...

So has Lallana bottled it again because of us, or because of Clattenburg ? He really is a pussy.

When you consider he probably knew Pele and Mane were going without adequate replacement and Fonte's future was uncertain, you can understand fully his sentiment. And there was not enough money on the table to compensate. I harbour him no ill-will. Puel is proving all his fears were correct.

But hasnt that been what Bayern have been doing over the years ? Ask Borussia Dortmund fans. Bayern loot them more often than Liverpool loot us. Leipzig are only hated because they have disrupted the percieved natural order of German football. I could live with that sort of hate of our club if we threatened the big 6 in England.

According to the mail, Red Bull are in London scouting down an English club to buy. We've played Leipzig and Salzburg in friendlies over the past year. Coincidence ?? Could the Chinese story be all about flushing them out ??

Clearly indicates we have a big problem.

Doesnt make "them" wrong...

Reed has lost his magic touch this summer with signings and managerial appointment, going on the cheap. Puel has no plan B, cant motivate the players and is generally a **** manager. And god knows why Claise still gets a game...

Exactly. Some people are easily pleased. Shining baubels on Christmas trees soon

LOL at all the messenger-shooting on here...

Seriously wonder when the penny will drop for most of out fans. We havent got a clue about scoring. We even needed Milans help on Thursday..

Wow. Never saw that coming. Flabbergasted !!!

* waves *

No changes. Incredible..

Boufal and Austin om the bench. Puel worrying about Hull City. F*ck off back to Nice. You've wrecked our European dream.

Cant even score a penalty. Says it all really. Game over. We've blown the Europa League. Too much smart-arse squad rotation. Cue the "we've let the fans down" Lundekvam-like interviews tomorrow

Same sh*t, different day.... Go ahead, shoot the messengers. Reed should be fired for leaving us so short up front

Surely not....

Clear how this match is panning out. We cant score jack sh*t

I do think we have come as far as KL is willing to take us. And this summer has indicated to me that Les's magic glitter has started running out. So what alternative is there to selling up if we want to continue progressing ? I do however, trust KL and Krueger to ensure we end up with the right owners. Even if Lander doesnt work out, the message is out that we are up for sale and it will eventually be someone else. The Liebherr era is drawing to a close, one way or the other.

This would almost certainly explain our underwhelming transfer activity last summer. Which hopefully means it wont be repeated.

This. Puel seems terrified of using Boufal; I wonder just how fit he is. Claisse needs to move on.

Just like all the Über-Fans giving it their "the results dont matter, we play beautifully" / " what do you expect when they can spend 100s of millions, we are little Southampton" / "You're a negative bedwetting tw*t" standard responses. Discussion on here between individuals with opposing views is simply impossible nowadays.

Our complacency comes at a higher level. Les Reed thinks he has the Midas touch with signings so doesnt care who he sells each summer or just how big a task he sets the incumbent manager to sustain our progress
