Finally got a manager in that will make me super proud to be a Saint again. A chance of beating a top 6 club, get spoken about on the TV and radio more plus have our youngsters turning out for the first team like they did under Poch. Exciting times and well done all those that have made this happen. If Mitchell was to arrive after his notice is seen out then our plans in the next two years will be even more exciting.

Strachan it was and he was laying into a black centre back of ours. Well heated debate and I loved it.

There’s only two Ralph’s at our club, singing a song in the Hassentitil wonderland.

Both the club and him playing games? First up a feeder goes out that Floures is taking over to push him for an answer and now he is saying I’ll wait till the summer for a pay rise. IMHO I think we are not getting him.

Floures a short term fix as we don’t have the money to bring in a asst and fitness coach? Davis will support him with Watson etc. Then if Floures does well he then moves on somewhere else while we get Brendan Rodgers in with some of the sky money? Probably the best option as we ain’t winning no games under Hughes right now plus it’s rumoured some players are not happy with him either.

Bale got one or was that the championship?

It’s a ****ing joke our club is. If only I could bring myself to support another team as the current era are a bunch of useless ****s.

What win some games in December? **** me the last time we won 2 games during the Xmas month was while we were in the championship. Loved to be proved wrong?

It matters not who you play as the game will go like all the others at St Mary’s. The big question is will we get a goal to celebrate?

Same old Saints, can’t stop losing.

If Mark Hughes was going to get the sack if we lost tonight then he would of played his strongest team.

Thats my feeling too, however if we win then I fear Hughes stays on as manager and if we lose against United too then he’s toast surely?

Interesting reading an article about Bertrand and Cedric. The reason why they are singled out as being useless and don’t care is because they are no longer attacking full backs because (1) The cover is shocking so they have to stay back more often. (2) The players ahead of them don’t allow them to have the confidence to bomb forward as they lack the killer pass to set them free. (3) They are not really defensive defenders but more as wingbacks. Our systems is not suited for them. Bertrand would be better suited in a Manchester City format while Cedric in Barca’s according to the article.

How does a footballer perform to his best ability when the coaches don’t teach them properly and the confidence is rock bottom? Maybe a decent change is a good option as it’s not going to get better anytime soon.

It’s pretty obvious Mark Hughes can’t go on so the big question is who would you like and who you would hate at our club. Ideal option (1) Rodgers - Would be good for us and knows this league. (2) Big Sam - Wins matches and will breed confidence back to the fans and players. Worst option (1) David Moyes - Hate his football and he is so dull to listen too. (2) O’Neill - Has been and a massive backward step.

I thought Saints were unlucky today. Seeing signs that Hughes is turning it around as we scored two goals instead of our usual ones.

Probably top of the league in that one?

Think we need to give Hughes a chance to see if he can improve his .70 points a game for Saints.

First up it’s 10-30 to 12-30 on every time I’ve attended. No way we do 4 hours training and I doubt Liverpool do that many hours too unless you’re talking some weights, formations and media work included it that time. Our training is pretty lame compared to Strachan and Pottechino who had players vomiting on the hell Weds sessions.

I think you’re totally right. Hughes has been great at Stoke and just as good for Saints. I’m buzzing as a supporter of Hughes right now and I can’t wait for him to get yet another 3 points.

Come on chill out as it’s hardly life or death?

I’m sorry but Hughes has got to go. You can blame it on Reed as much as you want but when you look at the results he got at Stoke and then compare it to us nothing is going to change.

Okay we know we are crap but you can still have a laugh about it. Make us smile with a Saints joke. Little boy to Santa ‘Can I have a unicorn for Christmas.?’ Santa ‘Come on, be realistic.’ Little boy ‘Okay can you give Saints a home win today?’ Santa ‘What colour do you want the unicorn to be?’

Totally agree. Who is Shane to tell him what to do when he can't even hit the target in 50 ****ing matches.

I suppose the atmosphere would still feel the same?
