.... and many think Hughes is a dinosaur. They need to be very careful what they wish for.

I can't believe Hughes is still here. FFS SACK the useless barsteward today!!!!!!!

Won't be long before sponsors start to walk, then something will change. On a brighter note, maybe this type of one-sided game will prove to be a catalyst for splitting the PL into PL1 & PL2 of 12 or 16 teams.

What are you on about? If you were there last Saturday you would have seen that every one of our players was totally committed to our cause none more so than Bertrand. It isn't passion that's lacking it is basic football skills among our front three attacking players that is killing us. Until we can get shot of that quartet of neanderthals we'll get nowhere.

That doesn't make any sense at all, every one of our players is playing at the highest level currently attainable in their careers - if they could play at a higher level they would be doing so already so of course they are going to give it their all just to try to improve themselves, attract attention and advance their own careers.

The Dell was a cold, wet and windy filthy **** hole of a place to spend a Saturday afternoon. I was glad to see the back of the bloody place. In comparison SMS is the last word in luxury living.

Cough, cough, splutter! Are we really now taking Stephens seriously? How far have we fallen?

Very doubtful based on their disjointed display against Middlesbro last weekend. You are forgetting just how big the gap is between the worse PL sides and the best the Championship can offer. Very soon promotion to the PL will become pointless.

It turns out that micro-pigs are just baby pigs that have been cruelly malnourished during infancy. Once they are fed properly they soon become big fat pigs again.

Unbelievably insensitive. What an absolute idiot you are.

You're probably too young to remember them. Kids today, I dunno!

Which shows just how far we have declined as a serious football More importantly the game is a certainty for cancellation in these dreadful circumstances and I am confident SFC will help fans already committed to going.

Good luck Glenn.

It's going to be bloody freezing up there this afternoon so expect half our lot to be wearing gloves and leg warmers and only going through the motions.

That's because in most leagues the top clubs are promoted out of it and replaced by poor teams in serial decline from a league above. So mediocrity is maintained. In the PL the top teams remain as the top teams because there is nowhere for them to be promoted.

He has been left behind by Henderson & Berkley. A year or two ago he was seen in the same light as those two midfielders by the media and no doubt by national team set-up at St George's. Arguably had he been with a top six club with far better players around him to help his development he would have continued to progress and maybe realised all those earlier hopes and expectations. Staying in a comfortable backwater is never a good strategy for a young person in any profession but in the highly charged media spotlit world of football, to be the best you have to rub shoulders with the best. His chance appears to have gone.

Hughes seems to be in permanent denial at his press conferences, he's been saying for weeks "we have a very good group of players" "we are about to turn a corner and move up the league" "we create more chances than most other clubs" "we just need to start converting a few more of these and we'll be fine". Yet, nothing changes and today he admitted for the first time it won't happen overnight What an indictment of him and his coaching staff. The excuses are being lined up already for this weekend and where is the passion you'd expect from a manager with his back to the wall? "Newcastle are a much better team that their points tally suggests, 6 of their opening games have been against top six clubs, they were 2-0 up against Man U...." "Losing Tadic was a big blow" "It's very hard to get any points in the PL" He's under pressure alright but with Les's 3-year gold plated contract in his back pocket why should he be worried?

Exactly this please

I was just toying with the idea, suppose, lust suppose we win 4-0 on Saturday, how the hell would we handle that on here?

...but we're not playing "top flight" football at St Mary's Patrick, so what's your gripe?

Google has a lot to answer for. Just so the others don't have to bother https://thesefootballtimes.co/2015/08/12/the-libero-footballs-forgotten-man/

Not a lot of fun 'though aye? Only 4 league goals. Poor against Wolves last week.

If he can't train and isn't fit then why the hell do we play him and pay him? The bloke has become a liability and we need to offload ( & long ) as quickly as possible. Gallagher never was and never will be the answer.

Nice rosy pink glow in La La land

You need better binoculars, it's a long way from Brisbane to St Mary's
