Why don’t you set one up as it seems there are no regulations in doing so?lol I assume it it is difficult and costly to develop.

Bitcoin had a bit of a tumble the other day, I assume it has recovered.

Duncan, imsurprised that you were anti Puel. He didn’t have the time or backing to get the team playing fluid football he wanted. I listened to Thirry Henry about him, and he was saying that the first season Puel gets the team to a stable not losing position. He then develops from there. The board stripped the team of goals, and did not give him replacements. ( the laughable ,we got Austin beforehand, )until too late, who then got injured. I must be very lucky in picking games I saw, as not once do I recall seeing turgid football. ( I didn’t do Europe) West Ham away was some fantastic slick counter attacking play, the Everton game at SMS we tore them a new one, magnificent display.( again we lost Simms to injury as he looked superb) then of course we had the cup run, where we destroyed Liverpool at SMS but useless finishing stopped it being a rout. We then had thebrilliant tactical display in the 2nd leg with the fantastic break away winning goal. The final again was a performance that as a Saints fan made me feel proud of the whole club. That was his first season, where he was robbed of VVD , Gabbi , Simms, and Austin for long periods. IMO a very big mistake by our club not to keep him on. Again IMO he was removed as the S/t sales were down and the chance of KL losing her payday. Hence why it took so long for the club to act. we won’t be seeing cup finals again for a lot longer and perhaps neither of us will ever do so again in our lifetimes

We were told by the club that they asked him to change. Why change anyway, he was only just getting us to adapt to the style. As for those players you mention, I don't agree that they are any better than ours, except Vardy and Mahrez, and I suspect there are many days they are rubbish as well. Fans from afar would say the same about a lot of our players getting into their team.

I didn't go to the last 6 home games and I understand your frustration, but put it into context, it was down to us not scoring. I wish I had the nous to put up the highlights of those games, I suggest in all those games we created at least 3-5 decent chances. I f we had scored, the games feel a lot better. Ive been to many awful games over the years, but as we had won 1-0 things didn't seem that bad on the way home. The social media is an ew thing to football, and I was reading the FB saints page and it was like on here, a few with very strong anti views pushing their own agendas. I read about us under forer managers as though we were playing like Man City or Barca under them, no we were dire quite a lot. I could see that Puel was going to build something special, and whilst it means SFA on here, here gave me memories during the cup run that none of the recent managers will ever live up to. I was able to take my daughters to a Cup Final, something that I am ever likely to do again. So as far as I'm concerned the toxic fans re Puel are wrong, and I wish him tremendous success at Leicester, with their fanbase they might accept a person who doesn't speak the language poorly and give him a chance.

my god football fans can be embarrassing. The bit at the start in the car!!! Talk about the return of the 657, that is each of their IQ's. I assume it was the proud dad driving, yep lets kill everyone while I put my mask on while driving
-
The games I watched were not turgid rubbish. He was left without a player who could put the ball in the net. If he had this summer to have brought a couple of players in, we would be up there in the league. We created loads of chances but just didn't scoer.You are blinkered if you don't think we played a lot of turgid rubbish. We went about 12 games of crap under RK
-
your dislike of Redmond has addled your brain. He did brilliantly to dissect the Udders players to leave CA by himself Redmond is blamed for everything, it pleases me that a proper judge of a footballer rates him eg Pep
-
I don't believe so. it was the club not buying a forward. Puel had us playing some bloody good football, but our inability to score made the fans frustrated. We need the rush of the feeling when we score and we went cold turkey. The fans didn't take to Puel because his interviews ere bad, they want someone who gives a quip. The club were stupid not to have put forward others to do the interviews Puel will be a great success at Leicester and will build a decent team.
-
perhaps the club think they were stupid to listen to the fans in the summer and don't want to be made to look stupid again
-
conveniently forgot the home game, get the stats up for that.

if the nail was used on you 2, it wouldn't touch any tissue.

How about the man who oversaw and planned this? Exhilerating football that we wont be seeing for many years again IMO

when Lemina first came he was a terrier and strong in the tackle and good with the ball. He looks a shadow of that, and sometimes that is down to the coach.I notice elsewhere Lemina is said to be complaining about his ankle not right and so that might be some of it
-
was it Reed who approached WHU for a job, apparently Sullivan alluded to somebody like him.
-
I watched the match snippets on Skygo and was wondering who our no 11(?) was, weak in the tackle, let the ball go under his foot and wondered if it wasa youth player, or Carlton Palmer. It turns out to be Lemina. What a cracking manager to turn the one real plus of our team from the start of the season to be Mr Bean

With relegation almost a certainty, who stays and who goes?

Players who want to wear the shirt , lol the only players who really want to do that aren’t wanted by other clubs. i used to be glued to the news to see how we are doing, now I look at the score after it has finished as I’m tired of top football. KL sold the club down the river to get her big payday, ( her prerogative) but I feel she cashed in first before the club and fans -
we've had Trump, Brexit, and Bitcoin so nothing should surprise anymore

The whole thing is very clever, they come up with phrases that make you think there is substance 'Mining' the bitcoin logo of a $sign on a gold coin, just gives it something. It really should be a load of coding and a jar of air

Ive spent over 40 years ducking in and out of things. Its been my living. Judging an items value making a profit and moving on. So Ive never been frightened of taking a gamble. I have watched and read with interest, and put forward reasons for others to be careful. I'm not looking to go into this market as I missed the boat, as I didn't understand the product (and still don't). My nieces partners both have plunged in and I have warned them to take their profits, but they have faith. They can deal from their phones and watch the price go up and up as they plough a little bit more in. At present Uncle Nick has got it wrong in their eyes, I hope I have for their sake.
-
yes that's after Puel has instilled some confidence back in the players. There have been times where those players have been a shadow of what they are now. The football we played against Liverpool, and Man U in the cup was better than most teams could put up. Puel inherited our team that had been stripped of Pelle and Mane

I do wonder if you have the choice, a lump of gold in your hand or a bit of cyberspace?

A match too early lol. Ive been a critic, but you seem a bit less dull,perhaps you are getting more confident and relaxed.
