He was sh*te.

I can't decide whether I love or hate this forum on days like this.

Fairly obviously a 'lets try and keep the score down' sub. We aren't going to score, Boufal or not, let alone get 3 goals without reply.

Don't know but I look forward to the 'all smiles' twitter photos of the team training, followed by a video of the players banging them in from 25 yards, against a bunch of inflatables.

Errr.... Something about running and pressure, good honest lad, popular in the dressing room, loyalty etc. Don't worry about the score line he's a 'nightmare to play against' apparently.

Sad really, when I saw that I just thought, 'ha! Good for my fantasy team.' There is just no entertainment in following Saints at the moment. None.

Those players have 2 goals from open play this season.

I tend to just sit in the kitchen in my boxers, drinking Tennent's Super TBH.

I'm sure there was a chap on here not so long back who, having missed a couple of games on his ST (including the 3-1 win over Palace) paid about £53 per goal.

Not sure you'll find too many kids who are fans of Steve Moran.

I’d rather be use than Swansea, Palace, Bournemouth, Brighton, West Ham or WBA, I’ll put it that way. I reckon we’ll get someone creative in in January and do enough to be lower midtable.

I was another who had some interesting PM exchanges with him during the takeover saga. Seemed like a really passionate bloke doing everything he could for the club. R.I.P.

I think you're confusing faith with MDMA.

Mané and Salad will rip us a new one.

Indeed. Luckily one of those 'good guys with a gun' the NRA keep telling us about was there to stop him before he could do any harm.

Imagine being 2-0 down at home to Watford. Edit: Nice one, big mouth.

More Mourinho anti-football against a big team.

So he had a good game at home to the worst team in the League. My point is he was poor throughout his stay here and one game against a poor team isn't enough to change the overall opinion of him. Saves are bread and butter (unless you're Forster). PG struggled when it came to commanding his defence and collecting crosses and Palace didn't exactly have Beckham swinging them in at Drogba for 90 minutes.

Whoops what? Like I said, they were at home to Palace. People said similar things about Paul Smith when he deputised for Niemi. Let's see how he plays at the Emirates in 2 weeks, then make a judgement over the rest of the season, if indeed he keeps his place.

He's never looked like a Premier League 'keeper and a home game for Spurs against Palace is unlikely to change the general opinion of him.

That's not being objective. Our support isn't amongst the worst, it's just average. Places like the Emirates, Etihad, HMRC, OT and Goodison are just as bland and soulless. The new WHL will probably be no different and even places that think they're good, like Anfield, aren't really.

We did, he just hasn't turned out to be as good. I said before the summer transfer window I wouldn't have been upset to sell all three of Austin, Long and J Rod. I'd still stand by that as none of them do anywhere near enough at this level. Long runs and does f**k all else. Austin is just a chavy Rasiak. We just need someone with some physicality up front. Even Kenwyne Jones would have improved this squad.

Some people pay a couple of grand a season to watch Saints, if you include all the train (or sometimes plane) tickets and hotels. If it was a one off performance by an otherwise decent team then I too would be questioning our supporters but it's not. We've been just dreadful to watch since last summer. 10 blanks in our last 13 home games and half of the 6 goals we did score were penalties. Our support isn't the embarrassment here.

Huddersfield are better than Man Utd.
