Puel out!

There is a lot of stamping going on now. With all the of the cameras around you would think that players would realise that they will get picked up for it.

To be fair, there aren't many managers who don't give dull interviews and it cant be easy dealing with the same asinine questions when you don't speak the language fully. We have only had two managers who weren't dull - McMenemy and Strachan.

I disagree. There are plenty of people who go out to knobble other players. They might not want to finish their careers, but there are plenty who have gone out to hurt others. You might not be old enough to remember our very own "Alehouse" team? They used to kick the sh*t out of the opposition. Every week you still see players going over the top of the ball. It is a miracle there aren't more broken legs.

There is a big difference between criticising and wanting everyone sacked.

Quite right. What is the world coming to when you can’t ridicule the likes of gays and Muslims? All will be well when Tommy becomes PM.

As ever, you are a little ray of sunshine.

Leicester won the Premiership on the counter. 'nuff said.

Its a no brainer for me. No point in making all that fuss about keeping him in the summer only to sell him a few months later. Sell next summer.

Self awareness is not his strong point Always. It is also odd that he has a pop at positive people and leaves the bed wetters alone.

Not made a huge difference yet though has it?

Yep, let’s have a laugh about Maidstone when the news is about over 200 Muslims butchered at prayer. Had they been Christians this place would be full of it.

Oh dear hypo, you are slipping. If I had written this you would have been all over it like a rash. Anything written by the forum bully though and you bottle it. Why is that? It is not everyday that I agree with Shurlock, but in this instance he is 100% right. This has nothing to do with Southampton FC so what is it doing here?

I am glad I give you a laugh, pal.

Gray had 19 games (win % 31.58) Wigley had 17 games (win % 17.65). MP has had 13 games. Perhaps ask me again if he gets to 19? By the way Pearson managed us for 14 games with a win % of only 21.43 - much worse than Gray - but there many who were mortified when he was sacked so go figure. Weren't both Gray and Wigley promoted from within and not experienced managers? I would imagine that counts against them when making a decision to keep them or not early on. There are plenty of managers who have had poor starts and have gone on to better things, just as there are plenty of managers who have had good starts only to end up getting the bullet - Ranieri being a prime example. Not one of us knows what goes on behind the scenes. If the club feels that he warrants more time I am sure he will get it. Either way, it is better the club makes the decision rather than a bunch of internet warriors who have absolutely zero experience of running a club and for whom firing is the only solution the moment things aren't perfect.

The Titanic sinking was a disaster. Getting relegated is not the end of the world. If you support the club, you support them come what may.

It doesn't matter what era they come from. It shows that managers can turned things round given time. You seem to also ignore that many were calling for Koeman's head when he went through a small blip. Poch hardly set the world alight in his first dozen matches for us. Of course if things don't work you need to change them. Sorry but I don't agree that 13 games gives anyone time to make a difference.

I see you have nicked my criticism of you. Try being original for a change. 62 of us so far don't agree that he should be sacked yet. Are we all being superior? why don't you have a dig at them too? Perhaps we are not just knee jerk reactionaries. He may or may not be the man for us, but how can you tell after 13 games? He inherited a pile of problems which he is still trying to sort out. Perhaps he will in the January window, perhaps he wont. But there is absolutely no guarantee that anyone else will do any better. Her deserves more time unless you really think that it is a good idea to sack every manager after 13 games if they don't meet with your approval.

So what happens if he goes and the new manager doesn’t improve results? We sack him too? Has the time scale to prove your worth become 13 matches? McMenemy would have been out of the door before he turned things round then, as would Alex Ferguson.

Since when has a bunch of bed wetters on an internet forum constituted all Saints fans? I seem to remember them calling for Koeman's head after a blip. God forbid that any decisions the club makes be guided by an opinion on here.

No, you are right. It is always much better to panic.

When people start mentioning the likes of Pulis and Fat Sam you can tell that the plot has been lost.

If you are going to organise a putsch Guan you might at least pay your fiver so you don't run out of posts. Revolutions aren't done on the cheap you know!

The fans have never owned the club, so how can they get it back?

No, not at all Whelk and if you read my posts properly you would see my point. Unfortunately you get hung up on a Christmas ad (which by the way received many complaints) and Maidstone. If you aren't careful you will end up like hypo.
