Tbf I don't think we would've beaten any of the Prem teams left in it.

Let it go man! Just cause Puel was nice to your mum at St Mary's once doesn't make him worth caring about now.

Saints signed Beatts from Blackburn.

They've been at the gym since June and still look like Rik Waller. And throwing out Carvahal-isms isn't going to endear you to anyone, MoPo.

The sheer arrogance of the club deeming Premier League winner Pellegrini not good enough for "the vision" is why we are in this horrible mess.

Who would take an FA Cup win and relegation like Wigan?

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/jun/24/mauricio-pellegrino-complete-coach-southampton-manager "Southampton’s new manager, highly regarded for his man-management and tactical nous, obsesses about the damage victory can inflict on players’ hunger" And there you have it. A manager who actively fears winning games.

Why even bother preparing for this game? Why are our rivals and relegation battlers looking like they can play and fight for survival? Dreadful.

Deluded

There is literally no one out there who could save us now.

Deulofeu has looked good tonight

Does anyone have an image of the graffiti by Ocean Village?

Umm a draw is the best result - always is when the other relegation-threatened teams play against one another. 3 points for either side will allow them to push on, and hindering us as a result. We need to keep the teams around us on similar points to help us push on if we can start stringing a run of results together.

Why is this worth a new thread?

You've given the result the stud mark of doom now - hope you're proud

OMFG

I love ART - absolute master troll since 2002.

"We need to try and win games" Yes, this is the whole point of your job.

Here we go

There won't be a straw that breaks the camel's back, will there? Pellegrino should've been gone long ago. It's too late now. Even if we win and move up a few places, it still doesn't justify just how awful it's been this year. Puel was terrible but this is a joke. 4 wins in 25 games with this squad proves he's not up to it.

This

It would be disastrous. Coventry City-sequel, IMO, especially with who is owning us.

Deal's off by the looks of it

The Jay-Rod situation sums up how bad it's been for the last two season. We had a gem of a player in Jay, who suffers a nasty injury. We stick by him for all that recovery period as he was one of the most exciting talents in the squad. Yet he comes back and is just shoved in the team as a bit part player after rehabilitation. Puel's crap style of footy stifled him and he wanted out, all the while fans and coaches have already dismissed him as past it and not good enough for this progressive style. Now he's looking back to his best under Pardew, probably because he's actually put faith him in. So rather than doing the same with a player we already have, we ship him out for a snip and then break our transfer record on someone unproven in the Prem. Obviously I'm going to get behind Guido but it just heightens to the shambles this club has been this past year.

True - but it was clear early on none of them fit within Pellegrino's system. He should've known that during pre-season. I think the board's realised we're in deep doo-doo and is finally backing a boss in the market.
