This.

If they were that bothered about a replacement, they could have got something lined up when this was first discussed with them.

He's not coming because; - Alex Crook said so - Les won't dip into his retirement pot to pay the fee in full - He doesn't like Redmonds attitude

Because some of us went to the game.

One of the major criticisms of the manager has been his inability to adjust tactics when the other team makes a sub or change. Today Okaka comes on, Watford basically play 4 up front for the last half hour, we’ve got a RB at LB - so the manager makes a change to bring on an extra defender to counter that and.... gets slaughtered. I’m sure he’d love to leave the defence to cope and make a more attacking change, but when you’ve got 3 centre backs who can’t head anything, perhaps strength in numbers is the best tactic. And if we had any sort of composure in the final third for that last 20mins, we’d have picked them off at ease.

This! Thank you Shroppie.

One of the best strikers in the league? Jesus wept.

He came up on Hawksbee and Jacobs show on Talksport, when they were discussing the Silva to us / Sun link with Alex Crook (). Said they couldn't believe how he hasn't been a regular since the start of the season, but all they could muster in terms of his abilities where "he must have the best dead ball delivery in the league."

ITK status lasted less than a day.

FWIW - Adam Blackmore said to me on Twitter that the club chose MP over Silva in the summer. Personally I think that's bullsh*t (timelines of the appointments would suggest this too) and he's lapped up what the club have told him - however, IF it is true, then hard to see him jumping at the chance of coming here.

Whats Guus Hiddink up to these days? Chuck some money at him until end of the season

Except it's nothing like that at all.

I bet the likes of Calvert Lewin and Lookman must be buzzing, even further down the pecking order. Fat Sam picking up where Ronald left off.

Well it’s hardly a surprise. Getting no games and rumoured for some time he wants to go back to Italy.

Crikey, if Eric Sviatchenko and Ryan Fredericks turn out to be the 'couple' of signings Pellegrino was referring to after Watford..... my goodness.

if Theo costs us 30mill it is in my opinion money well spent - NOPE he is a quality international player - NOPE a player highly respected by all in english football - NOPE so come on Pellegrino do something POSITIVE and buy Theo Walcott - Deluded. Yes his wages are more than we pay but i'm sure every genuine fan would gladly pay £5 more for their ticket if it meant we got Theo back - Absolutely f*cking not.

Even his face when celebrating was brilliant - cracking player.

Congratulations on managing turn that into a dig at the club - top effort.

We will do, next season.

Afraid there was behind me in the Itchen, a lot of ironic cheers as well.

That's a shame, I was hoping we could squeeze in a 'what a waste of money' song for him tomorrow, amongst all the sack MP, sack the board, hope we lose chants.

Agreed - though I think it will drag on because of Arsenal and Wenger. Reports seem to suggest he hasn't decided if he wants to keep him or get rid and, knowing how badly they do business, Wenger he'll probably wait until deadline day then decide to keep him. If they can't decide in the next week then we need to move on.

Very similar to me - lumped by Palace or Draw winnings on it at 6/1. Contemplated 16/1 a few weeks ago, wish I'd done it then.

What a load of c*ap. Imagine this has been put out ahead of tonight's game to warn fans not to expect a sacking if we lose. Which is rather depressing.
