We are 7th in the Premiership and in a semi final for the first time in years. Exactly what is your problem?

7th in the Premiership and also in the League Cup semi final. This didn't just happen overnight. Perhaps he is doing something right afterall?

Personally I don't think it is the manager or Les Reed we need to get rid of......its the negative fans who seem to have forgotten where we were just a few years ago!

And yet we have had a wonderful 7 years. We are a decent mid table Premiership side. We were a whisker away from a last ditch goal that would have seen us through to the knock out stages in Europe. We are in the semi finals of a cup. But yeah, lets get rid of one of the people that has made this possible.

No, anti genital.

I don't think the problem is that they are "slightly" glass half full people. I think the problem is that they think there is nothing in the glass at all!

Just like "Puel will be gone by Christmas." How is that working out for you?

Yep and who would have thought that given how crap you kept saying Pelle was at every opportunity.

I was a big Prog rock fan back in the 70s. King Crimson, ELP, Yes and the Peter Gabriel era Genesis produced so much astonishing music. ELP were amazing musicians and incredible live. So sad that both Keith Emerson and Greg Lake have passed away this year but fitting that they have gone with so many other amazing talents. 2016 has seen so many leave us but these guys were strutting their stuff in the 60s and 70s more will follow as time goes on. What a legacy they leave behind though!

I saw my first game with Campbell Forsyth in goal but later matches it was all Dave. RIP.

Another musical legend from the 70s leaves us. He had a wonderful voice and was a great musician. RIP dude.

Pah, just like Les Reed. No ambition! If you are going to encourage a chant, what is wrong with.... "We Want Lionel Messi."

But they have. They offered him a pay rise, which he has apparently refused. Perhaps he wanted them to offer him an extension to his contract but given that he will soon be 33 do you really want the club to give big money to a player who may not feature in the first team so much in the next few years? If the club are prepared to let him go in January, don't you think that they have a contingency plan? You always seem to want to put the club down. Have they really done so badly over the last 7 years? He has been great for us but we have also been great for him. I really don't think Jose has been hard done by.

But it does though. These things might have happened several years ago and different management is in place, but as with Saville, once you are associated with this stuff it isn't going to go away. It will tarnish the previous good name of the academy and the club. As for others using it against us you only have to look at the way the Munich Air Disaster and the hissing noises made towards Spuds fans to know that nothing is out of bounds. You can bet your life that it will be used against us and other clubs in involved by rival fans.

There is a reason for that. It is only marginally less stupid than Sturridge's goal celebrations. Quality player though and a proper legend.

We won deservedly against a team higher in the table than us. We turned over our former manager. We did it giving an academy player his debut (one our former manager didn't seem to know about) and he was MotM. Another academy player got a run out just to rub further salt into the wound. What is not to be happy about? Yet still the Usual Suspects carry on as if we have lost and are at the foot of the table. Go figure.

Just one question, can anyone cite an example where booing has raised a teams/individuals performance and turned things round? I expect a number of us here have played football. Do you really think, if you are having a bit of a mare, that people getting on your back will make things better? If the crowd are truly the 12th man and are being overly negative, how does that help? Nothing wrong with feeling deflated and disappointed, but aging off the team you are there to support? Really, apart from making you feel better. how does that help improve the situation?

Not sure what all of the bedwetting is all about. We have a good chance of going through and if Puel played that team against Everton and we got beat you imagine how the pitch fork brigade would react.

Remind me again, what position do they play?

I think he should just go and post in the Muppet Show section.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. It has been levelled at plenty of managers in the past, not just Pochettino.
