Yep far superior to anything Chelsea, Man U , Man city ,Arsenal etc had to offer lol

He did well getting us up, ai do not believe we would have stayed up if he had stayed as our manager. It was the 3 big home wins against the top sides that made the difference at the end of the season, and I don't think NA was bright enough to get the results. His last result away at Chelsea when we turned around a 2goal deficit was down to him bringing on the best player we had in the squad ,RL, who turned the game. NA doubted RL as a PL player that blindness was his biggest failure

It doesn't matter how many goals you score against those clubs if they score 1more than you, remember Holloway at Blackpool?

We needed a decent ball winning player better than what we had. You have to give the player a few more games yet before saying Wanyama is not. I agree his passing was poor in the first half, but he was an intimidating figure in the second half and improved.we will not be bullied with him in the side

yep the tactical genius he is, taking off RL , Al, and Puncheon when we were beating Man U, especially as they were being torn apart by those 3 on the day. Not only that he didn't learn and did the same again at home to Fulham. NA was out of his depth, time will tell if MP is as well

well let's not ever try and improve,and get better quality players, lets just stick with Punch and Cork and we will rule the world. I'm not sure Cork was an instant success and know that Punch wasn't. Yes Cork seemed to help us get on an even keel but we have to up our quality to try and move up the league to push for higher positions in the future.

Surely our problem today was not about creating chances or breaking up play, we didn't put the ball away, Cork would not have scored

every striker misses chances. Yes I think he should have scored but the keeper did well

We weren't free scoring under NA,(in the PL) we scored more than we are at present but we had lost at home to Wigan at this time last season, and not scoring in that game. Was it because Puncheon was not playing?

ithink that we have had problems getting the signings over the line. The better players hold out for other clubs , Coutinho a prime example. Therefore our project has been slowed

it was the first time I have seen Wanyama, and whilst I share some frustration with his passing early on, we still has a presence that instil s some faith in his signing. He is playing in aa faster form of football that he was used to n Scotland. Once he settles he will be fine. JRod was the most frustrating as his control let him down time and again, especially when Osvaldo had caught Collins on the ball and let JRod to go through.

With some on here it seems a player not playing gets godlike status. Punch was ok at best. We created chances and failed to take them,it wasn't about not creating the chance to win the game it was about finishing off the chances we got. Their keeper made some great saves and when we did beat him Reid did a superb header to clear the ball going in, or the post in RL header. As for Bigsam bemoaning Morgan not being sent off, the tackle by Obrien was worse IMO and more cowardly.that wasn't mentioned

Tis is a troll thread

I can't see how fans say we didn't deserve to win. Their keeper was the star,if we had gone a goal up, Wham would have had to open up and then it was going to be a different story

everytime one of us watch the Pompey youtube clip they get a donation, i would delete it straight away.

Lol, but calling names can hurt a ginger as much a a Jew. It is just erosion. I suspect the fans who sing the Y word would never think about gassing or genocide, just taunting the opposition fans. it is mob culture, 1to 1 and you rarely get any greif

When will it all end? What about when someone calls somebody a fat b@@@ard or curly etc etc

The YouTube clip to be shown in schools ,child abuse surely?

in that I quoted what the pundits had said or that Cole did not pass to RL And this is coming from someone who made a statement about the game only after watching the 2nd half lol

thank god for that as it would have meant he was playing as centre half

Surely he is getting the experience playing in that league ready for next season.Good forward planning IMO

Not at all, but Cole on a few occasions could have made an easy pass to RL in space but decided to take the difficult route

Sturridge is his Liverpool teammate. This whole saga is why i dont want Saints players in the England squad. I did notice that Cole never tried to pass to RL. It was also interesting that the tv pundits mentioned that there was a better team spirit. Perhaps the big heads not being there, made them more of a team. (although Cole may fit in the big heads)

lol

I thought it was well known now that it was Danny Murphy.
