Something i've noticed about Les Reed. When he makes a statement - something we won't like is about to happen. When we all know something is going on in the background and he doesn't make a statement - Something we will like is going to happen.

Hilarious. Complete owning of the Glasgow.

That is amazing. Dortmund have got a problem if the players are that arrogant. Manager wins the cup, and players come out and say they know better than him.

That home isn't quite right. Think the logo should not be so red. Still nice, but could have been better still. Really like the away!

Think we have dodged a bullet here.

I just can't keep up with you all We need a definitive breakdown

Hard to achieve the equivalent of a 67% (ish) win rate with a "lost" dressing room. Let alone a cup run and final win. Not sure I'd buy that.

We'll have to wait until after he's signed for that gem to happen

So its Touchel or Emery then Eric?

Are Always, Benji, and Fry the same person? Thought I saw that posted on another thread somewhere?

You say that, but did you go to the Stoke game. He literally couldn't give a flying Phuck in that match!

Shame, was looking forward to some home games. What is the basis for a european tour this year when we're not in europe? Also interesting that we are not going to the USA?

Yup. Another academy lad playing in the Prem next year!

Welcome Martin cranie!

Les always ropes over to have his belly tickled though! As soon as the money comes out he gets sweaty palms and we all know it! Although quite why long is our top earner I'll never know.

Thanks 9, looks good! Is there any mock ups or info kn the away?

46 points is terrible lord. Surely even you have to admit that? Saying we came 8th does not mitigate for a season that has been a step backwards? The team we had last year would have stayed at least top 6 this year. Certainly above everyone and I would argue that united have been very poor again. But regardless of that, if we continue to accept rubbish like this, we will do a Fulham, villa etc... the ambition will evidently have gone, players will leave, new players won't be as attracted to us, and we will get closer and closer to the relegation zone. In this league you either go forwards or backwards. This year we have gone backwards. Puel may come good (if Les let's him), but this has been a poor season, and the sooner fans act like adults, and call it what it is, the better!

Its interesting, that one the one hand people say that once you accept medicrity you are finished... then on the other hand people want us to accept it? Puel was a step backwards this year. Simple as that. You have to move forwards in this league... its that or you do a Fulham, Villa, Sunderland etc... You go down. Sorry to break it to people that live in a fairy world where you comfortably underachieve and stay mid table.

And yet... it's going to be west ham.

That ties in with 67% of St Mary's leaving before the lap of appreciation. If he doesn't improve rapidly next year and Les doesn't sack him then frankly both need to go. And if Les keeps him on this summer, and doesn't back him in the transfer market again, then Les needs to go anyway. Imagine a summer like the last transfer window... but where VVD, Cedric, Bertrand, Forster and Tadic all go with worse replacements coming in, the same crap football and a relegation scrap to look forward to. That is certainly one potential future....

No he didn't. Stop being a muppet Glasgow.

He needs to go in the next 30min!! That or Les Reed out!

A lot of negatives from the players recently. Selected a god awful song for prematch the the fanbase widely hates. Chose a kit for the cup final that the fans couldn't buy or wear. Purported player unrest and players actively destabilising the club by trying to get the manager or themselves out. Not managing to score in 5 games at home Think its time for a complete squad overhaul tbh. Time we got some players with a brain into the club.

Pants analogy IMO. If saints had been more attacking we'd have been a lot closer to Everton. The number of games we've drawn or lost this game becuase puel didn't know how to win them is a joke. The last 3 at home (Stoke, Hull, United) are prime examples. If we'd attacked more and been more "exciting" we'd have had a shed load more points. At the end of the day, if we'd done much worse than 46 we'd be calling it a relegation scrap. As fans, I think we need to stop trying to justify what a cack season we've had. The only saving grace is that we got to (and lost) a cup final that we should really have won anyway. We couldn't even beat HBS and Prague when it mattered. Seriously, there is no justification for how crap we've been this year. Go through the fixture list and just add up all the games that were there for the taking and we lost/drew.

What better 22 year old (or younger) players in the premier league would you put above JWP. I am struggling to get past players like Rashford (debateable), Pickford (debateable), Alli, Sterling? They usually play for top top clubs... What exactly do you expect from JWP given his age? To be one of the top players in the prem and therefore not playing for Saints? Or is the stick with which we beat him that he isn't a top class player and therefore isn't good enough for us?
