ErwinK1961 Posted 20 May, 2017 Posted 20 May, 2017 I'm just hoping that Puel gets smacked in the face with the ball again this game. I think that's been about my most enjoyable moment during the last few games. Stay classy.

Crab Lungs Posted 20 May, 2017 Posted 20 May, 2017 It's going to be a feast of football. Not a decently coiffured mane in sight on the touchline though

Lighthouse Posted 20 May, 2017 Posted 20 May, 2017 Went on the OS to buy tickets and they wanted £42 each and they're not even in a prime location. For a meaningless game against Stoke, they can f**k right off.
St.JonB Posted 20 May, 2017 Posted 20 May, 2017 I`d rather it was you, where do you sit? Oh come on everybody found it funny! Some people lacking a sense of humour i think. I sit in the ground (The Chapel) by the way, rather than at home on my keyboard.
St.JonB Posted 20 May, 2017 Posted 20 May, 2017 Skate alert So everybody in the ground who laughed was a skate!? I take it you couldn't make the match? Not sure why some of you are so precious about Puel. He used his great sense of fun to laugh it off. Or not.

OttawaSaint Posted 20 May, 2017 Posted 20 May, 2017 I`d rather it was you, where do you sit? He probably got hit with Long's penalty.

Oh and i sit in the chapel too... sorry to spoil your dig

Mowgli Posted 20 May, 2017 Posted 20 May, 2017 Really looking forward to tomorrows game. I have a Stoke supporting mate coming down and I think our players will be told to just go out and enjoy themselves. With that freedom, I'm expecting a comfortable win. My Stoke supporting mate is hoping for a comfortable Saints win too so that they can have an excuse to sack Hughes. In which case, we'll all go home happy.
Dangermouth Posted 20 May, 2017 Posted 20 May, 2017 So everybody in the ground who laughed was a skate!? I take it you couldn't make the match? Not sure why some of you are so precious about Puel. He used his great sense of fun to laugh it off. Or not. So he's accusing people who criticise Puel of being Skates again. And again the mods do nothing. Anyway, we'll win 3-0. Stoke are crap this year.
bpsaint Posted 20 May, 2017 Posted 20 May, 2017 I wonder if the half and half scarves will be on sale tomorrow like they were for the Hull match. Seriously who thinks they're ever going to make a profit selling scarves to a drab league game between two mid table clubs. With regards to the match I've given up trying to predict results this season, I just hope we score some goals and give the place a lift as it's been **** going to games lately.
kermitsaint Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Puel Presser It is important for Southampton to finish strongly, we have that chance with the last home game I am under contract, my wish is to stay. But I just concentrate on the last game it has been a difficult long season it was a hard last game, even Manchester united are finding it hard, you ask Jose Mourinho playing thursday to sunday is very hard it is harder to play in the Europa league compared to the champions league as you cannot recover as much it was a shame that we did not do as well, we set objectives to get out of the group and it did not happen it is a club objective for the next season to qualify for europe again the best this season the many games where we were strong many games to chose from from the season, times without the reward we have a great identity now and it is important to keep our identity next season the cup final was a great memory the clean sheets were good we have played many young players this season which was good the cup games against arsenal and the two against liverpool were good. we saw great quality in the team the style of the team is nearly there and I am happy with it the team have all improved under me. all of them we will see if charlie will play, it is an interesting to see if he can start I hope he can play some minutes, I am not sure yet but he will play some part we lack confidence in the attacking part of the game we miss penalties recently and they change the game the first goal is important in any game, it brings a side confidence but our style is important and it will remain as it is now our identity if we get a penalty, we will try to score. I am confidence the next penalty will go in if Gabbiadini starts, he will probably be our penalty taker it is a good thing that the Premier league are looking to tackle diving, players need to be honest they should win with quality and not by cheating other managers say it is part of the game to win penalties but this is a good thing there you go. He was very clear that the current style of the side will remain (if he does) as it shows fantastic quality etc also, has not spoken about his future and only concentrating on the next game also, the club set the objective to qualify from the group stages, push to the later stages of a cup and qualify for europe and already have set the objective to qualify for Europe next season. Every player has improved under me He should be sacked for that lie alone . Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk

Stoke are crap this year. Someone who wishes physical harm upon our manager though is unpleasant, whatever your opinion of him may be. RE my previous post about saint lard, to which you are referring. My opinion is he is a troll, I'm not the only one who has said that. Mainly about other things, not the criticism of Puel. And I just remembered who you are too. You got called out on a post that many, many people, including a moderator, believed was designed to get bites.

You seem to be infatuated with me, which for someone who thinks that we are all 'irrelevant' is rather bizarre. I'm still to see this so-called post of me getting you banned.

Alain Perrin Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Chant of the day : "All we are saying, is give Puel a chance" One season is not enough to judge a manager on and we are Southampton; we don't buy success, we earn it. Plus it **** off some of the annoying depressive trolls on here, so what's not to like?

If it happens again I will gasp with concern, look shocked and not breath until he has finished his little backward dance. I will also donate £10 to a charity that supports managers who have gone through the same trauma (as long as they guarantee no money goes to Rednapp). Enjoy the match.
redder freak Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Let's enjoy the game, despite what a crap club Saints is, according to posters on this site. Go and support Liverpool or Spurs!
scotty Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 (edited) Lawrenson has us losing 2-1. He also has us eight places below our current position, which is comfortably his worst prediction sequence apart from Sunderland, who he has well above the relegation spots. And surprisingly, he only has the dippers second. Actually, having looked again he has the scousers joint top on 92 points. Edited 21 May, 2017 by scotty
SNSUN Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 My team of potential leavers/sales in the summer. Hassen Martina Caceres Gardos/VVD (whichever can hop the best) Bertrand Reed Clasie Isgrove Tadic JRod Gallagher Easily whip Stoke with that team! (Not) Really, it has to be strongest available team please. Forster Cedric Stephens Maya Bertrand Davis Romeu JWP Tadic Boufal Gabs Redmond was poor against United so I'd leave Boufal in. Could easily be a 0-0 today, but we'll finish strongly. 3-1, Gabs, Tadic and Maya.
qwertyell Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Assume that's confirmation - if it was needed - that Rodriguez is off. He's gone from scoring starter to sub to out of the match squad in three games. Rotated right out the door.
James Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Don't understand the rationale in these striker selections at all. Austin goes from unused sub in a game where we need a goal to starting and JRod goes from starter, to first used sub to not in the squad. Just bizarre.
John B Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Assume that's confirmation - if it was needed - that Rodriguez is off. He's gone from scoring starter to sub to out of the match squad in three games. Rotated right out the door. Are you suggesting that if Austin is now fully fit he should not be playing
qwertyell Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Are you suggesting that if Austin is now fully fit he should not be playing Not that I particularly rate Austin nor that I think Rodriguez shouldn't move on. Just seems an oddly defensive bench (two defenders, two defensive midfielders) when in the previous game against better opposition we had Austin, Rodriguez and Boufal in reserve - if Rodriguez can't make the final 18 for a match of so little importance against nothing opponents, that rather suggests he's done.
Shroppie Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Are you suggesting that if Austin is now fully fit he should not be playing I'd still prefer Gabbiadini as his movement is better. May be Charlie's in to help defend. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Shroppie Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Win lose or draw, I think the main reaction to today will be relief we're done for the season and Puel will be gone in a few days. Don't mind today's team, rather Gabbiadini and Austin up front together but it's not the worst line up. But it hasn't had enough time together and no line up ever will under Puel. Apart from Austin, this has been his favoured eleven recently. They have played together quite a bit. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Farkas Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Stoke are not averse to a little rough stuff....Austin is more of a heavyweight/tougher than lightweight Gabbiadini

Saint Albert Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Saints are giving Stoke all kinds of problems down the left. Bertrand and Redmond linking together nicely.
5string Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 Vision & composure needed in the box. Come on, boys: vision & composure. And a shot or two!
