and Romeu was not rated in the main. RK has been able to really strengthen eg Morgan

Puel hasn't made excuses either. It is fans like yourself who try and divide the fanbase on this issue. Your point was that Koeman would have done better than Puel as RK has done well at Everton. Like I said and you cant counter, he was not robbed of the main source of goals, unlike Puel. RK rightly knew our owners were not going to build but weaken the squad again, why risk your reputation by staying and doing worse due to the squad being less effective. Oh and your statement that our squad is better than Evertons is laughable, who would get into their first 11 at present?? our best are injured, and Romeau may not get in front of Morgan, Bertrand instead of Baines? Redmond may well do, and Gabby in frot of Lukaku???

if you had taken 25 plus goals away from the Everton team like was done to us then they would have struggled. He also didn't have to contend with European football. He has also been able to add to the original squad as well as not selling any prime players.

Considering he has been dealt a squad that has not until recently a player who can put the ball into the net, he has to contend with a couple of forwards who could not score in a brothel with an overdose of viagra. Hence we have struggled to get the confidence in games to play to our fullest ability. I think if you went back to the last few managers they were accused of not playing good football. Add to that our keeper having a confidence issue. Some of our football has been superb in stages this season, and the way we played against Liverpool in the semi final at SM and at Wembley was superb. A credit to our football club Sadly fans lap up managers who after games cynically say how wonderful the fans are etc etc. Puel is not a fluent English speaker and so has trouble conveying his views when interviewed and so fans don't hang onto his every word. I do think he is getting better in his interviews although a long way off of what the fans will love. We have the basis of a slick and fluid attacking team, hopefully the board will follow up with their words of players staying and we can improve our squad. I still stick by my statement earlier in he season that Puel will become one of our best managers of all time. He has already taken us to Wembley and that is something some of our other more favourite managers never achieved

the football we play is decent, give Puel time to get us playing to his way.

IMO you should perhaps change your name to Geoff is nuts. Puel is a very good manager

i watched the game on BTsport and realise now why I stopped paying for the BTsport subscription. A one sided commentary team with a Pompey fan commentator, aScouse git who played for Man City and a total Liverpool bias with their pundits. Man City deserved to win on their second half performance. Bertrand doesn't look himself at present and as much as I like Davis Iwould have thought the midfield who did so well against WBA perhaps deserved to start. Boufal as yet has not convinced me but I hope Puel will get him to cross once he has beaten his man and not try to beat him again. We still play some decent football and look composed on the ball. I look forward to next season after CP has worked with the squad and perhaps got a couple of decent players in

A country bordering China on one side and an allie on the other is impossible to throw a nuke at. China for some reason have been shielding them for decades, where they get the means and technology to make their nukes is a concern

I have listened to it and you are just too nice!!! We need some characters like those on Arsenal TV, blood

dont worry going up in 3rd will be seen as the greatest triumph since Hilary and Tensing climbed Everest. Your journalist at the News will portray the event as a day of national importance. Penny will ask for it to made a National Holiday

I'm sure all the families of those terrorists will find comfort in that graph. I assume our Irish friends are part of the earlier deaths

obviously not a Saints fan as she is wearing blue

you don't get Mack's humour do you?

like the Titanic, that iceberg is there waiting for yo uMack

A few on here castigated Saints for only drawing against little ol Bournemouth, well they aint done bad in their last 3 away games.

Some put up pics of nuns lol

At present id take a point

West Ham slipping as well

Kamara said earlier that Long is normally a good finisher.....there again it was Kamara who said it lol

some witty people on here competing. My mate had sex with Kylie Minogue yesterday, he said there was 3 things to say Firstly she was very tight to get into Secondly she didnt complain if you finish on her face and thirdly the Staff at Madame Tussuads dont have a sense of humour

I saw something on FB that was on those lines

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39501876 this is not looking too good

and Man utd as well when they got a draw with 10 men

your members are a bit brittle then,lol. I wonder if they know you have told us how precious they are. Your lot like to give the verbal stick when things are going well but cant take it back.Are you that easily wound up ??? Personally the bits ive read in the past on there, they in the main seemed to have a decent sense of humour. Anyway double standards seem to be the thing down your way, come onto our board without obstacles but refuse it the other way around.

You dont have any connection to North Korea by any chance? Seems they are paranoid as well
