Saint Benali

One of our worst 45mins this season. Thankfully Sunderlands was not much better

Dissapointed we have not picked our strongest side. Especially as all week people have been saying we should be able to handle 2 games in 5 days. Big gamble for mopo. If it pays off then genious, if it doesnt then will get a lot of flak and rightly so.

Would be perfect time to bring Osvaldo, Sharp on....oh wait

Shaw and Lambo having really bad games tonight

Too many long balls

I disagree. We are in no mans land in the league right now. We won't make the top 6 as who would we replace, spurs, Liverpool, Everton? Can't see it. Our best chance of getting to Europe is the cup. We can finish in the top 10 comfortably regardless of playing a weak side at Hull. Personally I would rather take a cup day at Wembley over finishing 8th.

Personally id make a few changes and give Lallana, Jay Rod, Davis, Fonte, Lambo, Shaw a break with saturday in mind. A loss to Hull means nothing really if we can save players for the cup game. Im sure most would take a loss tomorrow if we can win on saturday. id go for Boruc clyne - yos- jos- chambers ---wanyama---cork---- Guly----------------JWP --------Reed-------- ------Galagher--------

It will be very interesting to see as will give us a better indication of how KL intends to run the club/company. Personally I think we won't be signing anymore £10m+ players though. Which isn't a bad thing based on the Osvaldo deal. Need more Lovren style signings.

Feel sorry for them if true, did nothing here. Rather our german ice hockey target tbh.....

Let it go CB Fry, you got destroyed, do the rest of us a favour and just let it go.... In regards to this guy coming in, can't see it but I remember thinking the same when ML was linked with us. So who knows. If Cortese came back to the club with a guy with a £19Billion fortune I don't think many would complain. Except the anti Saints people of course.

Ref was shocking today. Even if we won id have said that. Ramirez was fouled at least twice prior to his injury tackle and the ref did nothing. And that final tackle was brutal. He got the ball after going through the player. In my view the ref bottled a lot of decisions today. The standard of refs in the PL is getting worse and worse. The linesman however seem to be getting better.

Intetesting read. Except the bit about Cortese settling with Benali. Think your find Benali settled with Cortese due to his company going bust and him having to sell his home to pay debts.

Totally agree, anyone who is so negative and critical about everything has to be a non Saints fan. It does not make sense at all as the whole point of being a supporter is to support. I think the mods really do need to pull their finger out now and come down hard on these people as quite frankly every thread is the same now. Infested with the same 2 or 3 people who try and come across like they know everything about the club (even though they never go to any games ever). If it stays like this I will be one of them.

What a terrible article.... It fails to take into account the games we are supposed to win, the games we could get a draw and those we should write off. As countless people have said we have just come out of probably our hardest run of games going into them with around 60% of our 1st team out injured. To expect us to beat teams like Chelsea, Arsenal and Citeh is just silly. Teams like Everton and Spurs would have been teams Id expect maybe a point from at home but Everton was away. The Villa game was a screw up. We now go into a better run of games with 3 of the bottom 5 and other mid table teams. Other then Arsenal we don't have to play any other big club or anyone inside the top 10 until march... If we come out of that group of games in the same form or points attained then fair enough write up about how things are going bad. But while we are 9th and having played pretty much all the teams above within a month it is stupid.

Can't see Moyes lasting much longer if those results keep happening. The whole 'transitional' period thing is a load of ********. They were champions last season and have the same players. If you look at their fixtures they have already played Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Newcastle and Spurs at home. That's 4 home games already against the top 6. Or even worse 6 of the top 8 (not including themselves). It is only going to get worse when they have to start playing away games against the top lot. Already lost to Citeh and Liverpool away. No chance of them getting into the CL this year.

Hopefully the club realise that if they charge £20 a ticket about 10 people will turn up. They need to make tickets about £10 max as no offence to Yeovil it is a zero glamour tie for us, and chances are it will be a lot of fringe players involved.

We are 9th in the league.... There is fickle and there is trolling

Trolls be trolling Mods need to grow a pair and start banning these clowns

Gastoooooooon!

He had a good game yesterday but should of scored at least one. The rest of the season he has been pretty crap so don't feel like we are missing him tbh.

And some people think Cortese is a nutter....

My kid got one for xmas. I think its pretty cool. Titanfall looks the best game coming out for any console right now imo.

Osvaldo, Shaw, Clyne, Wanyama, Boruc, etc all out. That's almost 50% of our first team injured. Any team with that amount of their 1st team injured would struggle to win. Add into that having to play Fox, Gazza and a un-experienced right back (who will be a class player one day) and again any team would struggle. It isn't so much of an agenda it is being realistic enough to know that if you have half your team out you are not going to be as good as you are with your full first team. But keep on trolling Turks....

Jesus....Glasgow and co need to be banned for their own good. Would hate to be at their house for xmas

Would of thought the forums most opinionated posters would of been at the game?
