Pair of c*nts.

Stay classy.

He also needs to stop b*tching and moaning at everyone else - seemed to spend the whole second half whinging at Targett.

It's next summer I think - has a year left.

Well it can't be us, we never do our business early...

Except he wasn't dropped for the next game. He started against Spurs in the next game. As for preferring Long to Redmond... Christ.

For me, the cup games (semi and final) showed what we could do with everyone performing to their maximum and not sure we've seen that from everyone since. Not saying all players, some will give 100% no matter what. But no chance everyone has given it everything for the cause - whether that's down to Puel and the formation is another question. You are right in that if Puel stays he needs to be given the players he wants to fit his system. I get the feeling though he won't be here, too much unrest with the fan base to overcome.

Because it's cheaper to sack a manager then buy a load of new players. In all seriousness, of course the manager has a responsibility to motivate the players, however the players have a responsibility to perform and be professional. Something some of ours lads can't say they have done.

Any two of those three to go - not really fussed which two. We could and should be doing better.

And the fact he t*ssed it off for half the season.

First time since administration that I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest if our manager left. To be fair though, I don't think he's necessarily been given the best hand to succeed, with injuries to key players and having been stitched a bit in both transfer windows. I also think some of the players need to take a look at themselves. Yes, of course of the manager needs to be able to motivate etc, but you can't tell me many of the players in recent weeks/months have been giving their all. They showed in the cup matches what they can do if they really wanted to. However, some of the tactics in recent matches have been bizarre. When he's made subs, they've made no impact other than given impetus to the opposition. There's been a few too many performances, especially at home, which just haven't been anywhere near good enough and unless we have a revamp of tactics/style, I cannot see that changing next season. If I was making the decision, I'd get rid at the end of the season - however I fully anticipate he will still be here. The only caveat to that is if Koeman was as close to the sack midway through last season as alleged, I cannot see how the board will accept the limp end to this season we are having.

Bit more on this; https://www.thegamblingtimes.com/2017/04/25/saints-eye-helder-costa-deal/ Surely it will never be £25m?! Also not sure its a position we desperately need, unless of course we are shifting on Dusan (or dare I say it, Boufal)

Christ, of course! When Danny Fox tried to tee someone up 'on the scholes' but just chipped it to a City player

This. Nothing surprises you with this place though.

Would be pretty funny, but not as funny as West Ham getting relegated - that would be a right laugh!

This was my thought too. He was obviously cheesed off because the ref had fallen for it for the rest of the game.

This. Especially the bit about DT SB and NR all playing together.

Decent first 60 odd minutes but couldn't score, then completely melted when JWP was subbed and we lost our shape. We cannot play Redmond, Tadic, Boufal and a striker in the same team. There's nowhere near enough protection for the midfield, especially when a team ends up playing 5 in there. Don't understand why we didn't play more balls over the top of their CB's, they were ridiculously slow but kept a high line - add in the fact that Boruc was rooted to his line, it seemed a no brainer, especially with Long on the pitch. The refereeing was again poor, with a special mention for the Lino in front of us in the Itchen. What a complete and utter bottlejob you were. The penalty award was comical, just looked at each other for what seemed a lifetime, then Moss gives it on what can only be guesswork due to Bmouth players winging, then as soon as he gave it the Lino flagged too! A word on Bertrand - for me one of his worst games he has had for us. Didn't seem interested in going forward, barely put a tackle in and general demeanour seemed like he couldn't give a toss. Hopefully just a one off, but concerned his latest stint with England has left his head somewhere else. The end of this season cannot com quickly enough. Only way to describe it is weird.

Having both Boufal and Ben Arfa could either be very good, or a complete and utter f*cking disaster.

Mickey Quinn doing his best on TalkSport this morning to convince people that Van Dijk would rather go to Liverpool than Chelsea, as he prefers Klopp's personality to Conte's.

How many log-ins do you have Charlie?

Talk about obsessed. Did he sh*g your missus?

well played sir.
