I think they pay much more than us. In fact half the West Ham squad get paid more than our best paid player this season. Sebastien Haller F 25 £6,000,000 £115,385 Andriy Yarmolenko F 30 £5,980,000 £115,000 Jared Bowen F 23 £5,000,000 £96,154 Danny Ings F 27 £3,900,000 £75,000 Takumi Minamino F 25 £3,900,000 £75,000 Ryan Bertrand D 30 £3,640,000 £70,000

Moyes ‘We will pay you 120k a week.’ Ralph ‘We will pay you 55k a week.’ Shall we move onto the next target? I always find with Saints that we get our 4/5th choice who would be signed closer to the deadline because nobody else wants them.

I’m predicting the plain yellow kit will be the 76 yellow with blue chevrons down the sleeve. Hoping a solid blue colour as the collar but I expect it will be the same as the home kit. As for the black kit, would be amazing if it was the one that was leaked last season.

Better substitutions, stop switching the keepers, Not play Minimo because Klopp said he had too, Say Tella is the best prospect at the club after a cracking game but to drop him next match for Redmond. Never have Bednarek anywhere near the team as his confidence is shot, drop Stephen’s after being our best defender in the last few games, Would make Ings wait his time to get back in the team after Adams scores for 5 games on the bounce, give the young Swiss lad a chance after his sending off vs Man Utd and finally make the team put in a better performance in the F A cup semi final as we were fucking shit. I could go on about even more if I have too especially if I could mention those 68 goals conceded and two 9 NILS.

100% he would yes. He certainly wouldn’t be playing with Redmond for starters. Then he would play a better defensive line up where the two wing backs don’t bomb forward all the time leaving two slow centre backs to cover any breakaway. Finally our players would play for 90 minutes and not just 45 minutes and be totally fucked at half time. I could go on?

Think it’s crazy we are looking at three worse teams than us for next season. Get a decent manager in who gets the best out of the players and we will be looking upwards. I bet Lampard is staggered how Tuchel managed to turn his team around in such a short time without buying any new players.

I’m confused, is this a photo of our defence as this might explain why we conceded the most goals this season.

3 players linked to us on the BBC Sports gossip. Keeper, left back and a midfielder. Not heard of any of them but it’s not to say they might do a good job for us.

I would love in the future that he returns to manage our club. Maybe start at Rangers before moving to us.

I don’t blame Redmond for producing another crap performance. I blame the manager who just can’t see how poor he is at the moment. Honestly he makes my blood boil when he messes up the most simplest of things.

Was hoping we would put a couple of squad players in but I fear Ralph is fighting to win all the remaining games to save his arse. If he stays then his transfer kitty will probably be what the club gets for its finishing position in the league.

I think most hit him. Forster is a shot stopper and that’s it, gets his big frame behind things. I personally would prefer a new keeper and keep one of these as a back up.

We have to play the Japanese player because Klopp said. How sad is that?

Burnley win tonight and they go above us. However it means we can’t go down as Fulham can’t catch us. What utter dog shite that we are one place above those who got relegated. The likes of Brighton, Burnley, Newcastle who have been garbage are above us and they just shows how bad we’ve become. I honestly think it’s time to change the coaching staff.

Please don’t let us fans watch a game as the booing will be unbearable for the players. Might even get a few rounds of sack the board etc..!

Will be interesting if WBA beat Leicester as they will be level on points with Fulham with the extra game in hand. Yes they have been shocking all season but they have perked up in the last two games and you never know what could happen.

A few things. it’s going well and then he brings on the usual shit that makes us clueless again. Why has nobody kicked Son 20 feet in the air so he misses the cup final. We are too nice. I remember one of there players are down and we went on a break and then turned it back and put it out. Fucking hell you pansies it’s one of there’s not ours? Ive never seen two strikers unmarked in a penalty area like Spurs had. They almost got in each other’s way trying to score. That offside goal they had, none of ours protested. It’s like they accept that it was a block on McCarthy. Remember the Keanes and Viera’s they would of been in the officials face screaming to check it out. We basically walk back to the half way like accepting it. Madness! Finally how long can this crap go on. Ralph has lost it big time, the players don’t have a clue what to do anymore. What are we waiting for another 6 defeats? Even then I reckon he’s safe!

Very much all this and.... Redmond runs forward and Redmond turns and passes back. Vestergaard 50 yard ball to Walker Peters but it’s sussed and cut out. Pass, pass, pass, pass pass and pass to Forster and boom towards a tall defenders head. Ings badly passes it back and the whole team are up shit creek. Son finds himself unmarked to score yet again. And finally you must down 5 pints if Saints get a shot on target.

Fuck off those that don’t want to sign new contracts and get some players on that want to play for the club. At the moment I’ve only got 4 players starting against Spurs on Weds. Oh yes that Son is going to get a hatrick.

2017.. in 76 I would of got a kicking from the Utd fans then.

It’s such a shame we can’t travel to the game today as 90% of us would be up and getting ready for what would be a day of singing and drinking. Please share your memories as it should help us get in the mood to watch it later today. Mine: Travelling up Friday in a car decked in Saints colours before arriving at our hotel right next to the stadium. Walking around the stadium around 7.00pm was clearly 80/20 in Manchester’s favour. Back at the hotel around 100 united fans and just me and my son. Yes he decided to belt out a OWTS which got loads of applauses plus we never had to buy anymore drinks. What a great bunch of fans in there. Anyway match day at 8.00am it was 95% Saints fans and they were arriving coach by coach as the numbers got larger and you felt the atmosphere was building. Had a breakfast in the 200 restaurants available around wembley. We found a pub only for Saints fans which was on a hill overlooking Wembley about a mile away. Your flags would fly in the wind as thousand more started arriving at the grounds and at the pub. Then 2 hours before the game we went in search of welcoming the Saints players to the stadium as the atmosphere was terrific. Such a great build up and its a shame we will be denied that today. Good luck Saints and do us proud please.

Would make me laugh if Forster stayed in the middle and they still beat him when blasting it at him.

I’ve noticed our keepers keep diving away from where the taker puts it. Wouldn't the % be better to stand there as the last two have scored down the centre? PS - Anyone know if we are guaranteed a European place if we win Sunday?

Had a look on the Foxes forum to see what they are saying about us. Many say we couldn’t be any worse than we were against WBA. (True) They have a history with the official in charge like we have with Dean. He sent off Maddison for diving plus has given so many decisions against them. Finally Vardy is in the worse form of his life and many want him dropped.

I wish that was the team. Just can’t see any player putting in a double shift this week as they will be worried about Sunday.
