I do understand the fans pouring scorn on the fans showing concern about the chance of the spine of the team again being torn away. it has not happened as yet and of course we have survived the last 2 summers of the same happening. I do have concerns about the complacency shown by many in their replies,do you all really believe this can happen year on year and we can still do well? Add to the players leaving there is a chance the manager might go as well. It went Ok before of course, but what top manager will want to join a club knowing that they cannot really build. I have been told from a very odd source that if RK leaves, his brother will take over.I myself am not sure that would happen but.....

CB is correct in that Burley had quite a lot of resources but he was not the luckiest manager as he had a very dispirited fan base , that were divided as the politics of the Lowe and Wilde situation making the whole match experience not as the managers have the had in the last 5 or so seasons

I agree abotu the hype re Gallagher, i was not one of those but you have not in my opinion been proved right about Targett. If it is true what i have been told about RK's fall out with Reed is true, some was that Reed allegedly wanted to send Targett on loan where RK wanted to keep him in the squad. thsi with a few other issues between the two of them

A superb prospect, and has faced some very good players up against him this season. I think the results with him in front of Bertrand have shown that he is a decent player. Of course on here he is seen in the main as crap, but after reading some of the judgements of players on here over the years im not surprised

can you imagine it on here if we had signed Vardy, Huth , Morgan and co 2 seasons ago?It is great having the academy but buying deent footballers from the English lower leagues ca be good Good luck to Leicester, I wish it was us but a nice change. they rode their luck today. we also need to whip the ball in instead of the little floaty stuff

I would think the bigger problem is the friction between RK and Les, that I have been told about.

you have the advantage of course as you play cup finals every week.

its about time we sorted the sexual tourists who go to Thailand etc to take part in the rape of a nation. A large amount of those children are well below the age we see as proper consent.

So have I, but have also watched in those years fans of other clubs celebrating the winning of silverware. Many being small clubs and even one playing in the 4th division. Finishing 7th 8th or 9th may be a credit but it is nothing that can be painted on a honours board. Just heard on the radio that Jurgen Klopp is looking for a new house 2 up 3 down

well from someone who celebrates the fantastic achievement of finishing 7th 8th or 9th position as reaching for the sky, you no doubt celebrate having a dump. my comments about not selling such important players are valid. You may get the Kleenex out the way the team played in the first half, but I obviously have higher expectations than you. I suggest you go and aim your pointless jibes to others. No doubt you will ring round for the rest of your gang to give you some support. Calling Fry's massive you are needed to help our little playground bully.

underlines why we cannot afford to keep selling our best players.The 2 players most likely to be sold changed the game. Liverpool have 2 world class players, Coutinho and Sturridge. Without those 2 they are just a mid table team.turridge whilst injury prone comes alive in the penalty box. I just knew he was going to score when the ball came to him in the box. VVD Mane and Wanyama superb. Why are our players so nice? They just let Lallana and Coutinho wonder around casually with the ball, as soon as Victor started biting in a bit and JWP also they (especially the Weasel) faded out of the game

I don't think the silver polish rep will be banging on either of our clubs doors Mack, although your trophies are so tarnished that you will need industrial brillo pads to get any shine on your last FA cup. Anyway I think that the weekend has been not too bad considering your assent to glory came to a halt

Pah, they haven't the Johnstones Trophy or most importantly the Daily Express five a side that was live on Sportsnight with Coleman in about 1970, Weve won back the bragging rights there, Mackrill

after nearly 50 years of watching Saints there is only one player who I really dislike. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned him lol Heath

I do agree in that RK's constant tinkering with team selection is a major problem.

Iam truly sorry you have a speech impediment. it must be very rare to have it in speech but also when you write. IMO there is an erosion in the squad quality,and even the whole club.We seem to have stalled. You told us a week or so ago that finishing 7th is magnificent and that was reaching for the stars. Therefore I totally understand how you attempt to pour derision on people who have higher hopes, fantasy perhaps but that is my hope. It is quite quaint to read posts by yourself and Turkish pushing your chests out in pride that we may make 7th 8th 9th and the achievement that is. To me 7th 8th 9th may as well be 12 th 13th 14th. The only people that gain from 9th instead of 13th are the owners who get a bit more into the coffers. Fans criticise Pottechino for leaving but from where I sit he did right a he could see that the club will always sell the best , wheras at Spurs it will take a lot to sell more than the odd player. RK if he has any sense will leave if a decent chance comes along as you can be sure VVD Mane and Victor will be sold. Yes the club will get a load of money in and in turn will spend a percentage. IMVHO I believe the club are taking the fans for fools. As an aside did you happen to hear Danny Holland talking about Sir Les last night? The Charlton players so disliked his training methods etc they went and asked the chairman to get rid of him!!! This was only after a few weeks of him as boss.

keep selling your quality and the whole thing erodes. It is impossible to keep replacing the best players.

Yep, I can't wait to get the home kit with that embroidered under the club badge, sod the stars for winning anything. To me it doesn't matter if we finish 7 th or 15 Th. it is just middling

I wonder if we will get that embroidered under the club badge on our shirts. Sod the stars for titles etc

fa,r point but as much as it is like losing snap to you favourite Auntie, you should try a little bit

we can only play against one team you know? Palace are playing somewhere else lol Pathetic performance. luckily it doesn't hurt losing to them. Its like losing snap to your favourite auntie Forster is about 7ft tall and cant come and take a catch. As brilliant as he can be he needs working on taking high balls. Now got to listen to Redknapp taking the plaudits how he made them great. Poor attitude from our team considering it was a Derby

Apparently if we vote to leave the treaty we signed up for means that the EU countries decide on the terms we leave on. That would of course be punitive. This is according to an article in the Economist.Britain and the EU-The Brexit delusion

my viewpoint from watching it on TV is that their first goal is down to our keeper, not a flick 90 yards from goal. The ref in the main was correct although his big mistake was over ruling the lino. I assume he thought the lino was flagging for the initial contact not the kick out by the Chelsea player which he missed at the time. The penalty would be harsh,I would not be happy if one was awarded against us for that. Reading the match thread is quite comical though. Oh and Long should have scored his header.

I see a plane was forced to land in Berlin due to a stag party getting unruly. The group from Southampton. If prosecuted the 6 will have to pay around 20k in fines EACH. That will teach them.
