Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Paying the price for letting the two leading scorers go and failing to replace them. Long is a workhorse but as I've always said, his finishing lets him down.

The fact that you're a **** will never go away!

Predictions??? I had a tenner on Koeman not lasting the season at 50-1. £10 is hardly going to break the bank & could have been a nice little earner. He went, just not soon enough for me to get a reward from it. Had the club told him to get his coat as soon as the Everton talk started I'd have been paid out. Hey ho. That's life...

Puel's a knob. Should have never been given the job. I'm sticking by my prediction that he'll be gone before the end of the season. From what I've seen so far, I can't wait for him to **** off. If we carry on like we are we'll be bottom 3 after 10 games.

We do not need another striker. We have J-Rod. We need to play him instead of loaning him out to one of our rivals. PS. Puel is a ****ing moron.

In the Gladys St. End. ;-)

Exactly. WTF is going on at the club? Why would you loan one of your most promising players to a rival? Tha lad needs game time at Saints. We've got more than enough fixtures ahead to give him everything he needs. As we are we don't look like scoring goals. He could easily be our solution. Redmond is not a striker. He should be out wide getting the ball in the box for players like J-Rod. Doing stupid things like loaning him to a rival is sure to come back to haunt us. Honestly, this club drive me ****ing mad at times.

Puel is a knob! This formation isn't working and won't work with the players we have.

Long works hard but his finishing is gash.

I stand by what I said when we appointed Puel. He won't last the season. 2 games in and I've seen nothing inspiring and nothing that gives any hope at all. Moyes would have been a better appointment! Les has properly ****ed up this time.

They'll have sold the spine of the team. That's never going to end well.

It's being tucked away for a rainy day. It's all part of a 'Bigger Plan' that will see us become a regular top 6 team, competing in Europe every season and challenging for silverware.

Me too. The Championship was great. Was gutted when we dropped to L1 but looking back that was far more entertaining than the Premiership, the club selling half the team at the end of each season and lying to the fans that it's all part of a 'bigger plan'. I don't buy into that at all.

He does. He's one of a group of players who think Puel is a knob.

The Premiership is a farce. Best league in the world? They're having a laugh. Highest wages and most hype, but that's all. I've enjoyed watching the lower leagues for the last couple of seasons. It just feels more realistic and down to earth. There's certainly less players acting like they've been machine gunned every time they're tackled.

Exactly! I miss the lower leagues. They were great days weren't they? Jumpers for goal posts.

In a strange way I hope we get a right dicking. It might make people (fans and the board) realise that you can't sell the spine of the team and replace it with mediocrity. All that talk about turning us into a top 6 team who play 'regular' European football feels a long way off at the moment.

Don't want to judge Puel just yet but he doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Still think he'll end up at Everton with RK.

**** me, you're hilarious.

Totally agree. Worth a few quid on Utd scoring 3 or more.

Guess that's why he's sat on the bench? Personally, I don't think he'll be here much longer.

Which ****ing moron is going to be the first to say that we could have been league champions if we didn't keep selling everyone?

Part of the reason for our defensive record over the past 2 seasons was because we had great players in the defensive midfield roles who did an excellent job of protecting the back 4. They've gone and it looks like we're going to play only 1 in front of the back 4 this season. I've a feeling that our defence won't look nearly as solid this term.

Once again we're reduced to this sort of ****ing nonsense. Grow up!
