it would suit you if Saints crashed and burned. Puel for all the nonsense on here had 1 transfer window to build a team as when he joined had little time of support. Considering he had to handle to extra Europa games (look how Everton etc suffer from that) a fantastic cup run and finished 8th.He was building a team that played some superb overlapping football (if you don't believe me ,go back and look at Evertyon home, WHU away, the games against Liverpool in the cup as well as a wonderful performance in the cup final) All this with VVD missing for half the season and when we finally got a striker he was injured for spells. Yes we failed to score ina period of home games, but with what we had on offer up front, and pathetic penalty taking are we really surprised. I agree Puel was rubbish with his language in postmatch interviews but that seemed to go against him and so the fans failed to warm to him. Go back and look at our greatest mangers first season and see what happened then.Thankfully if the club had listened to the fans then! Puel should have been kept,but most certainly that MP should never have been appointed

Iam in the minority but I don't think Redmond was worse than Tadic. He put in the terrific cross that Tadic should have headed back for Long or Gabbi,and his long pass to Gabbi for the first goal. Our problem is that we are so slow in our build up it gives teams time to regroup. In the second half when we upped the pace we created so much more

Lol

Our manager cant even say that it was a second yellow card! he is gormless

We seem to have gone back so badly. Those years of progress have been wiped by 2 bad decisions, sacking Puel (whether you like him or not, he would have brought the club a bit more forward) and the appointment of a poor manager

I have banged on about the goalkeeping coach for over a year, as he has not improved one of our keepers, in fact they seem to have got worse

Puel coped with the extra European games, a fantastic cup run and losing VVD, and the club not backing him by getting a forward until later in the season, who then got injured.The team look structured and played some great football. It was unfortunate we didn't score for a few games at home and the fans turned on him. A dull turgid game becomes decent and all is forgiven if you score, sadly our finishing was woeful and we didn't turn the 0-0 into victories.It was a shameful decision to sack him, we now have someone who can do aftermatch interviews but he has degraded our team greatly

Really !! surely it was us being mediocre that made them look decent

perhaps too many flicks when we need something less flashy

you are rewriting it. We played some superb football, and got to 8th and a cup final. We were without VVD and gabbi for much of the season

Puel should never have been sacked. There was a structure to our game, now it is a mess. Everything is too slow. Tadic wasteful instead of heading the ball across goal instead of his weak effort.To me this manager is poor IMO

I believe that if the referendum was run now, after what we all see now, it would be a much different result. All the cards seem to be in the EU negotiators hands, and they are screwing us big time. The Germans are going to steal our banking revenues, and other nations will pick at the rest of our bones. Corbyn cant believe his luck as he pretends he wants to stay in Europe, but really it is best for his plans if we are out, as he can then drive through the madness of nationalisation, something that he is unable to do if we stayed in. The Be-leavers will find that just a basic trip to Europe for a holiday will become hassle again, the hauliers I speak to are dreading the customs clearing at the ports again, and the extra time that will take. If we happen to get clear access of the market and able to opt out of the politics it will be a masterstroke and I will be grateful for the be-leavers but it seems to me, we have sacrificed decades of our nations hard work

Those 2 things don't seem to add up to me, but the last seems to be most important. I haven't time to really delve into all this as I have a business to run, although at present there does seem a crisis of confidence in the purchasing public and the footfall has dropped.

Who knows what point I'm ever trying to make lol. Iwas just pointing out that whether it is nett or gross, the size or percentage would be the same. As ive mentioned countless times I voted in, but on some days I am pleased that we are leaving, on others I'm very sad about it. Eg when Iposted up about the pension hole in the EU's finances I was very happy to be cut away,bit then I read bout the Germans trying to knick our banking ,then very sad I suggest the majority of our countries citizens feel the same, not knowing what the hell is going to happen. For the rabid in or outs they are only happy with one outcome

Jeremy Corbyn will be delighted with us dropping out of the EU as that will leave him free to Re nationalise industries, something that you are not able to do in the EU

Does it make a difference whether it is gross or net? Whilst the figures would be reduced as a net figure, the percentages would not be much different, surely

I've got a top of the range computer that has all the gizmos going, Ive no idea how to work it though, the same could be for those using the black box. To be fair there are some decent signings been made. Surely the whole problem was that we haven't signed a forward

interesting thought. How long will Germany and the Dutch citizens put up with funding the Southern Europeans?

I would suggest that most countries would like to join and have the customer base that comes with it. I dislike Brussels, the waste and hangers on, as much as the majority of Brexiteers but to cut away your major customer base seems madness to me. Do you really think that the Americans are going to do anything to help us?? I recall Trumps advisors sending memos out seeking to gin as much of an advantage getting our trade as possible. You only have to look back at history, to see that they joined WWII on our side when they could see they wouldn't get their money they had invested in us through lend lease etc. We are a small nation with a decent punch due to the size of our economy at this moment in time.We weren't always like that, it is our customer base with the EU that has put us in that position, remember when we joined what a state this nation was in

Talk of the promised land when we leave is uplifting but the bare facts are becoming dire. Labour voters , Tory and the idiot Independence party voters have cost our nation and our children a future

wish you were frigging mute lol

What a bunch of academics we have on here.

But CB is correct, people are not interested in the also rans. Even myself who should know better look at the Sky games on a sunday and see , Burnley v Newcastle or WBA I will probably gout. Wheras if it is Man U v Arsenal etc I will stay in to watch, even though the big games rarely live up to the expectation
