you can say no more than hats off to Koeman and the team

perhaps its a smokescreen that he may not be happy away from football

hey Phil I'd prefer you posted some of the sex acts than friggin golf.......although if only you could get the hotel room film of A certain top golfers escapade, it is loosely golf and the sex

yep, I really like Koeman and happy he chose to come to us, but it felt more exciting with Poch at the helm. Now it is obvious that the club policy is to sell if the player wants to go, how can we feel the same about any player. Under the old regime you knew they would really fight to keep a player and not court offers.

We don't know what the club will accept or what was agreed when the deal was cancelled at the end of the summer. I do hope you are right and Spurs will wait their time, unless of course some even bigger clubs want him, that would be best for us as at least there will be a bidding war. It wasn't happening in the summer gone but perhaps the publicity has alerted a few more clubs to his ability

Let's hope you are right, as the team fades perhaps MS head will turn. Poch is a lucky manager and Spurs are a massive club compared to us, I can see why MS would want to go there.Spurs will finish the season well as Pochs method get instilled, it is galling but that is going to be the way it will end.

I do think Poch was more open to playing the youngsters than most other managers we have had. The majority of our young players co ing through look so sleight, wheras the Spurs and Arsenal ones look big lads. At the end of the day you can have the best pitches and buildings in the world but the most important thing is the talent spotters and the coaches. I do hope we have the staff still to go with the buildings. Perhaps time for. The return of Huw Jennings?

It will be touch and go if he is here at the end of Jan. Hopefully we ha. A good replacement ready.

Yep he does look like one of the cast of Shawshank Redemption

I sure you gave your loudest chant of the night when you saw him. He must feel like Alan Partridge with his stalker with you about

Why do they keep going on about it then? They have missed a bullet. Fortunately most of the Scots were not fooled by The yes vote

The team Poch put out should have been good enough to beat an under strength Sunderland side. It may look that he didn't care but if we had been told before the game that Sunderland were playing a weakened side and we had still most of our first team we would have been confident. Both games we were disappointing much like when we also had a good opportunity under Strachan at Bolton but again the team failed to turn up. all the performances were the same, the team either froze , couldn't be bothered or not good enough. The fans made the effort in every one of those ties

I bet a lot of Scots are glad they didn't pull away from England now that the oil price has plummeted. Their finances would have been shot

I think it was pointed out when Koeman came on here, that he was concentrating on ball skills and we wondered if lack of fitness would tell

Him and Demba Ba in a deal would be what we need.

The main problem for a forward is that you don't know when he is going to cross and so Pelle don't know when to time a run. That makes for our attacks to be nullified. I don't think Mane knows when he is going to cross either!

How can 5000 fans away in midweek to Sheffield be called poor support. It was magnificent support. Just because a lot of fans are grown up and don't need to sing anti Pompey songs etc doesn't mean we did not have impressive support. On the radio it came across very decent. It is sometimes hard to tell how many are singing or how loud it is when you are in the middle of it.

this is what our Foreign Office should be reading, and every politician as well. People like yourself and Dubai (about Arab mind) give great insights.Thanks for that

I didnt go but was amazed that the Sheffield fans hadnt turned up. i thought it would have been a sell-out....of course the only sell out was by our players

Nice one Turkish. I wish Mane and Mayuka could side step like you do. Happy Christmas to you

I looked at it 5 games ago, we must be at least top 3 now, especially as Les is on the rudder.

Considering you have mentioned him countless times since the summer being our saviour and the messiah, trust in Sir Les etc I thought I would give you a chance to carry on bigging him up.

fair comment but if you get far more than your player is worth it is then bad economics to spend 12m on a forward who never has had a record for scoring goals. We had sold our goalscoring players and so it is common sense to buy a proven scorer who has some PL experience. I love Longs endeavor but his lack of goal scoring is a major problem. I am surprised though that last night he was not able to cause a L1 defence problems

well Les would wave his magic wand and do so , so why not a goal keeping coach? Forster should dominate a penalty area with his height and reach. it seems to me that he has lost his confidence completely

they are not Koemans signings, i thought they were In Les we trust signings.
