Sorry saint86 i didn't mean to seem so scathing, it wasn't intended to be that way. Apologies

Is that how you spell pathetic lol. Yes we an all bring up posts on the same vein, but yes you were correct

you wouldn't be watching, you'd be too interested in defending the ref lol. Everton home springs to mind btw

Tadic was pretty good under Puel, and I think they got on well, as after the Leicester game up there Tadic went across and had a very friendly chat

Fabianski has been pretty good (2nd keeper not instead of McC) Joe Allen

I think our fans have been very unfair on him. I still think that goal at Liverpool in the semi final made the hairs on my neck stand up more than Gabbis the other night. Both achievements were fantastic by both mangers. I will state again that had Puel been given more time we would be playing some fantastic football now, as he would have addressed the poor scoring problem in the summer. We played some good football without the final finish.

yes it was, and a few did say as much

Puel is gone, and whilst I am unhappy with that, it SEEMS we have survived the disaster that nearly befell us. I have warmed to Hughes, but if i had been told he would be our manager I would have thrown my arms up in despair. When he was appointed I posted that whilst I was sceptical I would support him, and he deserves that support as well as a period of time next season.

I would have been happy to have kept Puel and Redmond is probably my favourite player, so I'm in the minority on most things on here. Gabbi showed a few things the other night that made me feel if he got the right service could make him brilliant for us. I like Austin but boy is he greedy, and so slow, but saying that he does hit the target when he gets a chance. If we hadn't won at Swansea the love of Austin would have diminished somewhat as he failed to put away his chances.

well he set up Long beautifully the other night. It seems you believe in stats, personally leave it to judgement. Id love o see such stats to an ex player called Ted McDougall. I doubt he touched the ball a few teams in games, but when he got the chance he buried it

I was amazed that they didn't put Dyer on,as he would have kept one of our full backs busy, and they would not have bee able to bomb forward.Add to that he would run at our defenders,something they don't like

Lol Vardy is less so what do those figures really tell???

I wonder if the Mrriot will ever make a statement bout this. I'm sure it has harmed them in a big way. Clubs may wonder if any Marriot hotel could do it to the if in the same situation. I expect that whoever thought it up would be in the mire. As for Swansea FC they have said nothing I assume about the way the coach was held up etc

The Stoke forum is no different to this. The Puel stuff was ridiculous, and a lot hate Poch and Koeman in a similar way. That is social media for you

In the past with Stoke I assume. No it would be the one night

we don't need any fancy dan players. Surely we have learnt our lesson. Lets get good solid footballers who care, rather that the Boufals of the world

Surprising,

I didn't hear until late last night that the Police escort didn't turn up, but also is it correct that the coach wasn't allowed ner the ground until Swansea arrived. MH got off the coach and got the players to walk to the ground????? ALso is it also correct that he said something about that he was pleased that Marriot cancelled, as he thought it was a grubby hotel lol

Great to not notice the ref last night, shows that he had a great game. He is without a doubt the best ref in the PL. Very calm, and although I was a tad concerned when I was told his wife was a Pompey fan, he was fair and decisive He was 100% correct in the CL semi final and that took great courage,.

If Swansea go down the Marriott will lose a lot of business, hence I suspect it may have been a decision from the top.

Lol of course Motd got it wrong, the other night y. ou had downloaded the incident and the ball was no further forward. Your pro ref stance is tiresome. He got it wrong and that cost us, yes the players were at fault as well but the ref influenced the final result by incompetance

don't bother, you are only here as now you are basically safe.

Fergie time

Their crowd will make a massive difference. We need to be strong mentally, and that has been a problem all season
