Top 8 is the new top 4. We march on

only Chelsea and Liverpool have stepped it up this season - Man U, Arsenal and Man C have a similar points total to last season. The big movers are Everton (from 47 points to 61) and us (from 63 to 45) its like we have just swapped with Everton who rightly ditched Martinez

The Notorious B.I.G. - "Mo PUEL Mo Problems" Think we have won just once all season when we've had an extended period to prepare. 7 days to prepare = lost to Man United 8 days to prepare = draw with Sunderland 13 days to prepare = lose to Arsenal 13 days to prepare = draw with Liverpool (no shots) 10 days to prepare = lose to Spurs 15 days to prepare = lose to Man United 13 days to prepare = lose to Spurs 12 days to prepare = draw with AFCB 10 days to prepare = lose to Chelsea

Who is complaining about the league position? Think its more his style + our play + our points total + home form that people don't like.

WBA have been determined to give up 8th place - we should definitely thank them. One win in 10 for them now - LDLLLLDWLL (5 points from last 30 available)

We would be partying on the streets for weeks. Absolute scenes Party like its 1888. :badger::badger:

Hes also independently rated below Matt Phillips, Robert Snodgrass and Adama Traoré this season Go Puel

Romeu and Yoshida yes. Yoshida very marginal Both benefitting from game time.

I thought the only way to be sustainable was to constantly sell players?

Yep or 6.99 average from an independent https://www.whoscored.com/Players/86425/History/Nathan-Redmond

Was kidding mate. We all know he's the new Henry.... A solid 6.5 outta 10 each week. Redmond is Mr reliable Mane who??

wit is the highest form of sarcasm.

Case closed

I agree, but we and importantly Puel needs this win. And hes proved already this season (EFL cup) that our first team can beat other teams reserve teams. Don't think we have ever gone a full season without 1 league win over a top 6 side? And don't think AFCB have finished above us for 400 years. Puel needs this

High level review: Being 8th is good.... How many points behind 7th (Europe)? 1-3 points = close, shame we didn't beat Hull 4-8 points: home form cost us 9-15: too much of a gap, poor 15-20 points = dreadful Combined with: How many points ahead of 17th? (relegation) 15-20 points: no issues 10-14: must do better 1-10: poor and a worry

The gap between us and Liverpool is bigger than us and AFCB. Reed works tirelessly each summer to ensure that. We can't simply take AFCB players and staff..... No chance

Since reaching an EFL cup final seems to be equivalent to winning the champions league for little plucky saints perhaps we can consider one of the other managers with an EFL or FA cup runners up medal? Phil Parkinson Gus Poyet Alan Pardew Tim Sherwood Steve Bruce Roberto Martinez Tony Pulis Malky Mackay Alex McLeish An elite list of nearly men

I think I offered Silva as an alternative to Koeman last summer and since Puel hasn't worked out i've offered forward Silva as a possible replacement again. The fact he's done v.well at Hull has probably encouraged a few to notice him now. I think there are tons of managers I'd take over Puel so doesn't have to be him. Reports are that Puel is leaving, combination of horrendous football style, him being super dull and the rift with players... So only sensible to chat about his replacement options now? Whose your pick mate? Top 3?

Yep I remember when i had my first beer.

One of the biggest issues with Puel is rightly or wrongly he's divided the fanbase and rather than us fans being united and one (together) we are arguing and are divided. Under Mopo and Koeman the fans were together as one and we need to remove Puel now to return to this strong bond.

We've had a number of games where we've had ZERO shots on target. Liverpool x2, Chelsea at home, Man C home etc. Weve also had tons of games where we've had just 1-3 shots all game. We would need to have been fairly prolific in some games and games where we've had loads of shots and actually scored a few Leicester and Watford for example have now massaged the "average" stats.

12th time lucky against big 6. Would like to see us attack them. Sit back and defend deep and they will likely win. Perhaps try Gabbi and Long up top. United will rest a number of players so may as well go for it. COYS

Think he works for one of the bars in the square?

Think she's retired, her daughter now I believe. Proper filth here to be honest, Blackpool at its peak. Beers cheap and seen 2 saints shirts. One boy had Boufal on back.

In benidorm mate. Crazy times here
