This lot can't take the lead to even consider seeing out a victory!!

if you want to send a message, vote for Josh Sims.

Surely Austin? He has one of the best goals per minute stats in the league... no mean feet in our team!

Been saying for a while that Reed is a cancer at the club. I'm just glad that the view is broadly accepted by most fans now. That is the first true nail in his coffin. What matters, is that this summer the fanbase unites to pressure for change at board/management level. Nothing will change with these people at the helm. Even if we go down and bounce back up, their greed / inept mismanagement / both of the above, will hamstring us again and prevent us reaching our potential. Simply have to go.

Your team pick was garbage mate sorry. If you stop Tadic fine, but not for mcqueen... Sims should be in there. I would certainly drop Lemina. He is utter garbage, flatters to deceive about as much as Boufal but gets away from it more because he is less audacious. I would play: .....................Macca...................... Pied Yoshida Stephens Bertrand .................PEH...Romeu................ Redmond.......JWP................Sims ......................Gabba....................... Really don't think it's complicated for the manager (whoever it is). Stop putting square pegs in round holes. Pick a fast possession team with players who want to run and carry the ball. Play in the opposition half, defend with everyone when we need to and then break fast (I can't remember the last time we counter attacked effectively... then use a lethal finisher with good movement, JWP for set prices... and a midfield 3 that don't **** around but just get and cycle the ball out to the runners whisky shielding the back (I.e. not what show ponies like Boufal/Tadic/Lemina do)! Winning football games isn't that hard, just get an effective and simple strat and stick to it FFS. Saints don't have big physical players, what we have is technical players who run with the ball and can keep it. Just fecking let them do that in the 3rd that matters FFS.

Yup, but Les was the Messiah. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

As we all know, you have to hit rock bottom to improve. I would rather go through 2009 all over again than spend 10years in the championship. We badly need to start over again and clear out the people at the top. Only saints could be lucky enough to land a team of Marcus and Nicola, and then turn it into this within a couple of years. It really is typical. Hopefully when we implode we will be lucky enough to get another owner who buys us to do well, rather than as nothing but an investment they can use to pay off their other debts. What no one has really considered yet, is that we are once again going to meet Pompey on our way down. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I guess you'll be there leading a vociferous defence of his leadership. Sarcastic bell end. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Honestly Roger, some of us have been warning about this cancerous ***** on here since we sold Lambert. All we got was other saints fans telling us things were fine and we were trolls. The fans certainly have a portion of blame to take. But not as much as those who're truly culpable. They ousted Cortese, tried to take credit for his work whilst stripping any trace of it from the club. Where we are now, and where we will be for the next few seasons, it's all the fault of Les Reed, Kruger, Katrina etc. The fans need to protest until they're out of the club, we will never achieve what we are capable of with these inept filthy parasites on board.

So, everyone who has got tickets.... Its half time vs West Ham, almost certainly the worst 45min saints performance in 15years.... how do you feel about the semi? Good effort for going though

we have no central midfield and are two CB's are ****. The wingers aren't tracking back to help the full backs, and if we push forward our wingers get surrounded by 3 Wet Spam players before they make it to the opposition box. The CF are getting no service at all.

****ing hell. Anyone know where are board live?

Les Reed is scum. The worst man to ever have worked for our club.

How the **** does this useless **** Lemina get in the team over Romeu and JWP. Jesus.

You are a complete tool. We have hardly any plastic dinolos or tupperware fans... if anything our problem is that our main support feel totally apathetic about the club.... because of Les Reed's c6ntish ways.

Please can the morons on here stop praising ****ing Lemina like the sun shines out of his arse. He is ****ing awful because his decision making is some of the worst I have ever seen at saints. Game after game he makes multiple mistakes just like that one.... and that one will get us relegated. Good job.

Poking some fun here, but! Is this the same pelle incapable of running after lose balls, always trying and failing to do ridiculous flicks (to the opposition), and more likely to hit the corner flag from 6 yards than the goal mouth?!?! That is some serious rose tinted glasses you have on there my friend! But at least it must keep you smiling over the dark days this season. However, I think you need to remember that even Koeman dropped Pelle for Long when we were in the mire, and that changed resulted in our upturn in form Ultimately I view Lambert as a better penalty taker, better Target Man, better passer, had better vision, worked harder, and had better free kicks and heading abilities. Lambert, Lallana and Jayrod were all better than Tadic and Pelle in their primes. The difference was Mane who is easily one of the most lethal players in the prem. After all, Lambert, lallana and mane were all signed by Liverpool, and them and tottenham were after Jay prior to his injury. No one is signing Tadic, and Pelle got a move to china. Stats wise: Goals/games Lambert 28/75 Goals/games Pelle 23/68 And that ignores all the key passes and chances that Rickie constantly created. And the fact that Ricky was playing in a weaker team for certainly 25-50% of those matches, and in a deeper position under Poch than Pelle operated in under Koeman. Also, I don't remember ever getting frustrated with Ricky (other than when he carried a knock), and certainly not in the same way as the fans did frequently with Pelle... every time he scuffed/sky'd a sitter, or moaned like someone had shot his mum when a 20yard pass wasn't perfectly to his feet/chest, or every time Pelle tried a retarded flick on with no need, that stopped our attack or set the opposition up on the counter... He filled a gap, was a nice guy, and did a good job for us. But he was worse than an aged (you could say experienced) Rickie in almost every department. The question is, would anyone not take Pelle back in place of Carillo?

Austin more surely?

That is a very nice team, and in truth a similar time period to mine. I would include either Ball/Wallace/Lallana for Eyal though. Stiker wise, Beattie was very good for us in the prem. I would have him or Rickie.

wtf. jesus christ no.

The Kandalama hotel in Sri Lanka is pretty amazing / spectacular, as is any visit to the Yala national park. I would recommend visiting both as absolute musts if you go there.

tbf mate, i think this is a lot more than that. Regardless of how Jezza feels on the issue, he is in charge of Britain's official opposition. Whether he condones anti semitism or allowed it to thrive under his hap hazard management style, he needs to sort it our asap. In my opinion, any openly racist politician should be stripped of their seat. The hate that is spreading in the US and Europe has no place in Britain.

You are aware that we weren't going down with Nigel right? And that poch's record for the rest of that season matched that of Nigel for the preceding number of games. I mean, don't get me wrong, poch is a great manager and far the better coach... but he took us to top 8, not kept us up. Doing a massive service to Nigel Adkins who should arguably be on the banner in my humble opinion.

I'm a civil engineer. The women in my company get a far better deal on a job/experience basis.

In all fairness, that wouldn't be out of place on this thread now would it
