Saint Billy

You only have to look at the players to realise there is a problem. Forster is a big give away, he looks like he is suffering from a slipped disc when he gets the ball from the back of his net.

Nothing new here, every club below the top 6 is a stepping stone club. Unfortunately this club trys to have us believe that thats not the case, with this plan and that plan and the infamous 5 year plan. What they can't seem to do is get a manager to buy into their plan because a decent manager wants success which he aint gonna get if his best players keep getting sold. Simples.

This was on the cards before we even kicked a ball this season. Relatively unkown manager with a history of playing drab football, failure to replace quality players, the Guan snippet of a change of diection this season. Sherlock Holmes would have treated this as a mere warm up to work out. Now we have lost through injury the only one who remotely looks like scoring I'm afraid it's looking like a very dull yet nervous second half of the season especially if Puel is to be believed that we do not need new players. With us not knowing whether the club is up for sale or not and with nothing coming out of the mouths of the unusually quiet hierarchy I feel that saints could once again go back to this habit of self harming after an amazing six or so years.

You are making yourself look more stupid than you normally are.

And your not annoying?

Dont they know that there's a game going on ffs.

It's obvious that your glasses are so rose tinted you can't actually see through them.

Do you think Puel is the type of guy that will change his management style?.

Funny and true!.

You base it on how we are playing, the quality of the side, injuries, players form, future plans to strengthen the team, and most importantly, whether or not you think the manager has the ability to change things around.

Blind optimism. We are going one way playing as we do and with Puel seemingly happy with the squad we have .

Is Ralph Krueger still our chairman?. Is Kat selling the club? Will you go with it? Can you take Puel and Black as well?.

No, it is the quality/style of football we play under Puel.

I feel sorry for you, in no way have you deserved to watch us playing our worse football in years.

I said that he was a dull appointment in the summer but was willing to give him a chance unti xmas. Needless to say he is a dull manager with dull tactics and a dull team.

I dont care if you were born in southampton, live in Southampton, remember us nearly going out of business, accepting we are a small club, being in the same position last season etc bloody etc, we are and have been playing utterly sh*t dull dull football. People deserve more for their hard earned cash, especially those that shelled out to go away and watch the dross we served up in europe. There is a goal at both ends of the pitch and if our guys are not capable putting the ball near or in them or that the manager prefers swinging it from side to side, they at least deserve some flak from us on here. For the manager to state that we do not need new players in this window is mind boggling to say the least, but on reflection will it bloody matter anyway if he still gets them to play the same old insipid way.

Awaiting Trousers rose tinted view of things.

I hope the swear filter is well oiled.

This is certain to be an extravaganza of top qualty football.

8th yes, doing fine not too sure. Our performance against West Brom will tell us more.

He has an appearance of disinterest and lethargy.

I think we have flattered to deceive this season and we were due a hiding.

To be fair we have had this coming for ages.

Yep, starting to think this as well, he does not command his area at all.

After a great start its back to the ole containment footy again.
