They don't, because fans don't buy "it takes time" these days, due to many examples of clubs being turned around within a matter of weeks/months. Leicester, ourselves/Burnley, and Burton will be used as examples in the top 3 divisions for a while. Clubs don't want to lose interest of the fans...
I understand his sacking too, we sacked Chris Powell cos he was boring, and a lot of people disagreed with that (and have since had their old tweets RT'd like fuck). Southampton clearly have problems far bigger than the manager. It's a bit like putting all of England's problems solely down to...
This is the first time when we've played one of the big 6 that I've actually believed we could get something.
Of course, Chelsea should stroll to a win, with a squad that cost £400m more than ours, but we've been so good at home and the atmosphere has been fucking brilliant, compared to Stoke...
Good results for him so far but fuck me it's boring. Against us they restricted us to zero clear cut chances, despite some good general play (which ultimately meant fuck all), they did very little themselves but were effective and won comfortably in the end. Basically, we got Big Sam'd.

We're so confident at home, and so are the fans, great noise every game. Just like last season, we were so, so much better than Brighton. After they had a good spell, I thought Brighton were too well organised to go down, but they're well in it now. The impression I get is that Hughton is so...

Scarily important game. We don't look like getting anything away from home, but at home we've been very good. Both of us will be targeting this one for 3 points. If we don't get them then I fear for us.
Your owner that gave no fucks about your club tried to change over a century's worth of history for the sake of some more interest in Asia. That to me is selling your soul, not caring about your past. Fans that went along with that should be ashamed. I'd boycott something like that, definitely.
7 away games, 0 goals :sad:
We've tried different things, defensive, counter, attacking, not worked, we just don't have the quality to get results away, putting big pressure on our home games.
And what a fucking horrendous atmosphere at both Merseyside clubs. I was expecting better from...

As both an England fan and a neutral I like this draw. So many wide open groups where any of them can finish anywhere.
England's group, fuck me we've done well. I never understood why people chose Iran ahead of Tunisia in their ideal groups. This may come back to bite me in the arse, but we...
