Check out the post match thread when we went out of the cup to Sunderland under Poch. Koeman's season was better. In position, points per game, and team quality. Can be debated however you want, but thems the facts. Poch is a great manager, better than Koeman. But his team was worse at saints (and according to the club's PR, full of traitorous mercenaries). I also don't remember any 6-1 or 8-0 demolitions under Poch. There is rose tinted glasses (which is fair enough), but then there is just channelling bizarre hatred on to Koeman and ignoring his achievements. To each his own however.

Poch wants to go, that much is blatant.

What variety though? http://www.ngkenya.com/fauna/columbidae.html Please elaborate...

Has anyone in this thread read "Adults In The Room"? Not only is it aptly named for this forum, but it also shines a very unforgiving light on the EU, it's "democracy", and the behaviour of the french and German banks and finance ministries. What is happening in Italy has all the Hallmarks of another Bailoutistan sadly. I am curious to see if the Italians roll over, or whether they succeed in appointing the government they want, or whether the the EU tries to steamroll the 4th largest EU economy. Interesting times ahead, and very glad we are leaving the EU in it's current guise at least.

Talk about making his point for him. Climate change used to be called man made global warming.

The best modern season is Koeman's 6th place finish. No doubt at all. Going into games with a great team expecting to beat anyone. Solid at the back and dangerous up front. Just missed champions league football (due to dodgy referring in my opinion). A tremendous feat and we were getting plaudits from every direction and no team wanting to play us... Best season I can remember.

I'll say this. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. If he does cling to his job I expect and improvement from him. Doubtful it will be enough of an improvement to justify him not being replaced however. Who knows, maybe he'll balance out with Hughes.

I would actually be well up for red and white quarters. Or a return to our red and white stripes with blue/navy. Obviously not the way we are going this season, but I would be good to see us move in a more traditional direction.

Puel was terrible. MoPey was terrible. Both were correctly sacked and anyone who thinks otherwise is smoking something imho. The 8 games under Hughes is the best football I have watched at Saints in the past 2 years.

That part right there, they just can't handle it. At the end of the day, Pomepy fans of a certain age must realise that, "their sons will wear our shirts". Simple as that.

Firstly, I think he is a more than competent left back for a prem squad. Secondly, I hope this means we are not selling Bertrand this summer? Or if we are, we are replacing him! We cannot go for a whole premier season with just Matty T in that position. If we are following the youth approach, I would like to see Target and McQueen in the side. What I don't want is for us to release a youth player and then sign another player of equal or marginally better quality to take his place.

Are we technically allowed to advertise this on saintsweb?

Small matter of the transfer fee

Not 2 years ago they weren't.

Absolutely shocking that we haven't moved for Cairney in previous windows. The guy is class and would command a key role in our side.

I think its probably time the mods got a grip of this. Its the 25th May and already people are being driven around the bend.

Why, what is your issue with that phrase above all the others used on this forum? just curious ta

You're not comparing the same thing though are you? Technically MoPe should achieve a 33% win percentage to hit bang average (i.e. law of averages would be a win, draw and a lost out of 3 games.) Darlek is predicting league finish, so has a 5% chance of a correct prediction. By predicting it right once in 15 years he has outclassed average expectations and by default achieved a higher success rate than MoPe.

#Man City Retirees incoming?

That is the opposite of the Southampton Way mate. Apparently anyway. We march onwards down the pyramid. Don't lose hope though. We will appoint him and make some BS statements. We'll just do it at an excruciatingly slow pace and waste weeks. In reality, a championship and premier league level contract should have been drafted weeks ago. So many clubs that we have regarded as worse run than saints are so much better organised.

Okay Les.

On the basis that he isn't doing that. Are you voting stay or go? Because you are in fantasy land if you think that interview will happen.

Announcement sweepstake anyone? If so, I'll take tomorrow at 2pm

Where? That shirt is not for sale under Southampton on the Fanatics website that I can see? https://www.fanatics.com/international-clubs/southampton/jerseys/o-31097911+t-21993605+d-42318+z-8-2017141119 Likewise when filtered via Under Armor there is nada: https://www.fanatics.com/international-clubs/under-armour-jerseys/o-20432411+br-692414+d-7599013+z-9-1156633190?pageSize=72&sortOption=TopSellers

Olomola has signed for S****horpe on a 3year deal. More academy players either not good enough, or not being given the chance they need. Our academy really has been struggling in recent years.
