Very good post IMO

Polls and surveys are so inaccurate, I wouldn't hold too much credence in a poll of 30k people. A percentage don't tell the truth anyway. Fact is millions of people voted out and not all were Tories by a long shot, hence Sunderland , Grimby etc voted out.

Yes I do know how such things work. Of course with all these things it depends on what fuel you feed into it to give it power. The fuel was starved for Puel as they didn't give him any players in the pre season and so the carbs were blocked.

a damp rag that got us to 8th and a cup final. Strachan played pretty poor football and he gets lauded.

the Guardian is not Labour supporting lol https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/there’s-only-one-way-to-stop-brexit-from-the-ground-up/ar-BBMAm6C?ocid=spartanntp How is Brexit a Tory thing btw,there were as many Labour supporters voting for it but it has become a Tory policy!! The Tories happen to be in power and so their job is to follow the nations wishes, Im not happy that we are leaving but it is a poisoned chalice to have to negotiate it. Personally I think May is doing the best she can, considering that the EU hold all the cards.

Most of his passes went astray when we got close the penalty area , so he will fit right in

that'll be a first Lol x

Yep well done Nathan, and did you notice how he jumped in celebration when we scored?

Some of that I agree with but Puel is not to blame for the slide. He would have developed us by now into a decent team. He could see what we needed and would have been on the case strengthening the side. Anyway it is history and we have to move on and stomach the bad decision (IMO) of getting of him

but was the momentum pre Reed and it is only the erosion in time by his decisions have put us where we are now?

you should know the form by now on here. You have a very reliable keeper who made the difference to us staying up or going down last season, and then a new face comes in for a game against a second string, has nothing to do, so all of a sudden the man who saved us is then to be jettisoned by the football brains on here.

The privacy settings do not stay as your choices once you log off,so every time you have to turn off as you log back in. It is a nonsense and also annoying.

I understand that players will want to go and it is impossible to keep them but we have made it easy. It is great selling a player for 75m but the whole policy is useless if you then waste more by poor purchases like Osvaldo, Ramirez, Boufal etc that have set us back to zero. Wilson is obviously a poor judge of a player and so he wastes more than he gains

it is just the feeling I have that as a fanbase weve been kicked and kicked and it is bound to have a negative effect. it is not about 3 games it is about 3 seasons. Since the club let Koeman go and showed no ambition we have had to endure our heroes sold and the winning mentality of the club recede. I am not against Hughes, he has got a poor squad and has to do what he can, but when we are winning we know we are going to concede, wheras Bournemouth go behind and they know that they probably will get something. Therefore they are more positive whatever wheras we are likely to be more negative

but we haven't produced any young players to sell for years. If we had a Wallcott in the reserves he would be in the side, but we haven't, they go out on loan and aren't good enough to get into Championship teams. The poicy relys on having good scouts and coaches and it seems o me we haven't any. No doubt they are just yes men to Les and that keeps their jobs

Our fanbase is back to the demoralised way it was before our decline down the leagues. When we had our rise, the club had a winning mentality, we as fans had positive expectations when we were at a game. Compare us to the Cherries, their fans know if they are losing they will get back , we are winning and expect to draw or lose. I believe t all stems from the clubs policy of selling our best players and that must have an effect on the squad as well as the fans.

Redarmy, I assume is a Man u Liverpool fan, or even Pompey. Never does he post positives just negatives about Saints. Sad individual, as for the Henry jibes, Redmond at no time said it himself and so is saddled with the quote by such morons

A squad with no pace is always going to struggle. We never replaced our goal scorers and so that’s where we are. Sad set of events and a season of struggle.To call for the manager gone,again, is just a nonsense it is the stupid situation

Hughes comments about Moss at the end of last season at Everton may have an effect of his decisions lol we have the same points achieved against these 3 teams as we did last season. I have seen the penalty / sending off and the ref was right it seems to me. All those calling for Hoj , however well he played doesn’t make up for his dive. Palace away next, tough game. I never wanted Puel sacked and so feel we are reaping what we sowed. It was the same as when Nicholl was sacked, we got rid of a good man as we had been spoilt Les ,Ralph and Wilso should hang their heads in shame. As for the black box, I can only assume Stevie Wonder is reading the information and the button showing ‘players with pace’ is broken,

Should have kept Puel lol,

Don't forget a lt were calling for Hoj, where has that got us

but why do you have to go to those settings to turn things off. Everytime Ive saved the settings and it still turns back on when I log in

I am still getting the cookies thing come up, and each time I have to do the settings so that ads and other info is not collected

Turkish, Im assume you are kidding. Personally I think it is good to have women at games. There have been some stunners as well, but I also suggest the men who go are in the main just as ugly and disgusting to look at as some of the ladies

Spot on
