Charlie Wayman

A complete bloody disgrace. We looked like a load of Sunday league players in the second half and pretty poor ones at that. Fonte is an utter effing Plank. I feel sorry for the poor sods who made their way up to WHL to have to watch that load of donkey droppings.

Typically, The Telegraph try to spoil things for us as usual tempering the rumoured good news with their snide aside that Shaw & Lallana will leave whatever MP decides to do. All b.llocks of course, any fool can work out that if MP stays they will all stay for at least one or two more years.

As was proved tragically in the seventies and eighties safe standing is a contradiction in terms. As always with Health & Safety Issues, quite a lot of idiots need to be saved form their own follies. You should all accept this is one decision that will never be reversed. Far too risky for the FA & the Clubs in our modern day legal climate. Anyway, I am against standing.

Have you seen a doctor about this form of madness?

Don't you just love Ricky Lambert & Adam Lallana. Always the right words in all situations. Every word genuinely from the heart. Two of the greatest ambassadors for football in the country.

Rubbish as usual.

Rubbish!

Silly season started already? I imagine the new chairman will have a few things to say about all of this, doesn't seem to me the type who will roll over and have his tummy tickled by bully boys and silly boys of the London press and their cohorts in Big Clubs. All part of the destabilisation process. Everything these days is part of a process it seems. Saints will field a pretty much unchanged team next season, maybe one or two in and some make weights out but the core of the team Shaw, Schneiderlin & Lallana will be the basis of any subtle rebuilding. Steady as she goes is what will come down from the bridge.

We seem to have got ourselves one hell of a guy here, with his background and CV you have to wonder why he's settled for a football club, why not Chairman of a Footsie Blue Chip?

Many disabled fans have a half-way line elevated position at ideal viewing height. Some sit directly below the directors box. No wonder we are the best and quite right too!

What you are overlooking is that match day income has become almost insignificant as a measure of financial & performance sustainability of the top clubs. Most of their income is now coming from advertising, sponsorships and the like mostly from exposure to foreign sources in the middle and far east, even ManC. The PL is an international business and thinking local or national are no longer tenable. Bigger stadia are likely to be useful only as vanity projects for ego-centric owners and I just don't see either Mm Liebherr or the new CEO in that category. A new stadium would have no obvious purpose now that the Don has disappeared. We certainly do not need the seats to attract and accommodate hangers on wanting to associate with our success. Look no further than Barnsley and Oakwell to see where such folly leads.

Let's hope he doesn't quit and go to Arsenal to get noticed across La Manche

OK but not fair on Davis who seems to have a back injury that he can't shake off and maybe will end his career as a player.

He has always come across as a nice intelligent fun loving lad, like Jos in fact and having two guys like this in the dressing room and training must be fun for everyone. That's why we won't let them go. Real nice characters. Imagine having somebody like Carroll on board, like putting a fox in a hen coop.

I'm sure he has good intentions but only time will tell if his optimism is misjudged or if his ambition is dulled by harsh reality. The trick will be not to offer too many hostages to fortune but he has already done so. Let's hope for his sake that all stays as it is through the summer so that we can make a renewed challenge in the next campaign with the resources that have carried us forward to the point at which we are now. In other words, steady the ship and set a course for fair weather climates.

Eff the "No easy games" cr.ap, this is an easy game and if we can't beat them three or four nil MP should be shot.

Sad to see him go but not all Academy graduates can be super stars. I guess he's had time to prove his worth.

Yep! Anyway MP doesn't do half-way house, the fixtures attract zero attendance and knacker his kids so PL form dips.

Nobel Prize for literature coming your way?

Yes, but he needs Shaw & Lallana on board as well for his project to be going anywhere. If they did leave it wouldn't much matter who was boss next season we'd end up in the dog fight at the bottom of the league.

Saw him many times, a great keeper indeed. Lovely chap by all accounts RIP John.

Lallana looks like a shoe-in for England captain after Gerrard steps down. Already it is noticeable how other players look up to him despite their club allegiances. He is 25 after all which is quite senior in new England terms. He does seem to have an authority now that he did not possess as captain before Pochettino arrived which seems also to have been the catalyst for his new found consistently good form. Running over all those hot coals is likely "wot did it"! As for leaving us... ? Na! Never in a Thousand Years!

I think that's right and we'll settle for ninth

Wanyama needs to up his game considerably to seriously challenge Jack Cork for a starting place however long Jack is sidelined through injury.
