Stephens needs to be hooked off. I know Hoedt has been poor but Stephens is like a statue at the back. Completely gave up on that last Walcott chance.

Still maintain what I said yesterday. Getting one point rather than 3 yesterday will ultimately not make much of a difference. Never bought into the idea that Huddersfield wouldn’t get another point and I just can’t see Swansea not beating Stoke. A point against Swansea would not have been enough. A win was always going to be what we needed on Tuesday and it still is. Stop the negativity and doom and gloom. The point yesterday lifts us out of the bottom three and puts our fate back in our hands. Performances have been 100x better than under the last clown. Players seem up for it. Bring on Tuesday!

Gutting not win but... Ultimately, does it change a huge amount? Even if we had won today we would of needed a result at Swansea realistically as I can’t see Stoke doing us any favours on the last day. Good point, go for the win at Swansea who leaked chances against against Bournemouth today

This situation is ridiculous. Know someone who works at the club and it’s causing huge problems between owners and 1st team staff. Vaccinations are needed 6 months in advance which they have not accounted for and the Zika virus is rife there and many players are saying that they won’t risk becoming infected because of possible implications with family. Club aren’t backing down though. Add to that that it’s a war zone...

Watching this back reminds you how important Pelle and Mane were to our overall play. Not just scoring but assists/creating space for others.

Not strictly Saints related but one time CB target Davide Astori died today aged 31. Very sad.

Cricfree working for me.

It’s the board that are p***ing me off. Part of me suspects that they will have not pulled the trigger with MoPe up until now as they would of known another manager would of wanted plenty of the VVD money for their own players. They probably stringed Pellergrino and us along with the Promes to make it look like they were doing something. Why else would you leave it to the last day and not have a plan B. Watch them sack him tonight now the window has closed and go for Silva who will cost nothing...

BBC sport website has commentary of all FA cup games today

Chelsea now linked with Ashley Barnes. Wonder how it would go down on here if we were linked with him as our target man...

Tadic looks infinitely better on the left. Who would of thought it...

What do you suggest? A trip to the Emerald City?

The idea of playing in the Championship doesn't actually bother me that much. My favourite years as a fan were the League One and Championship promotion seasons watching us win week in week out. It may also allow us to get a bit of our identity back, which I think we have completely lost this year, especially in regards to promoting young players. Admittedly it would mean a horrific year this season if it were to happen.

I’d take Allardyce over this in a heartbeat

They are using some flight tracking app

There was a plane whose flight path made something a pattern remotely resembling a c*ck and b*llocks. They were speculating as to whether a saints fan had hired and piloted it to troll them! They have genuinely lost it over this transfer.

Having a read on their forum and they are not a happy bunch. Many saying that they have have a squad with no pace and one which is only a couple of injuries away from major problems, particularly up top. Some of them are beginning to think that all the talk of their owner spending mega money in order to smash the glass ceiling is a load of rubbish as so far they have only spent the Lukaku money. Who would of thought it...

Heard from Adrian Durham on Talksport earlier by any chance?

I'll perform self-fellatio live on Saintsweb if Barkley signs. Thankfully I think I'll get to keep my pants on

Bit of a strange one but Billy Sharp for me. Only really featured for us over a 5 month period but his goals were vital and it seemed to mean so much to him, perhaps due to his family circumstances at the time. Glad to seem him do well with Sheff United.

Would we really not take Van Gaal? A manager who has won league titles in 3 different countries, taken Netherlands to 3rd in the World Cup and won the FA cup in his last season in England. Christ some of our fans need to wake up and realise who they support!

If there was anything that was going to make me confident of us keeping VVD it's Micky Quinn saying he is leaving.

Hate to know what the club policy is that would rule out a young, highly regarded coach who mas managed at the top level. Why settle for that when you could have Gary Monk ey!

I personally love the away kit. If these kits are genuine then they are the best range that I can remember in my lifetime.

If we are getting rid of a couple of strikers, I would try and get in Gignac from Tigres. He scored plenty of goals in France and has scored for fun there. He's 31 but that didn't stop Lambert or Pelle and would add a different dimension. Tigres signed him on a free so might look to make a profit
