    I don’t really know anything about the process. What do you mean when you say he was gone in March?

    The first I heard was when he was allowed to discuss a new position with a French club.

    As far as I’m aware any rumours during the season were supposition.

    I'm expecting this to be a tough and entertaining game once again. Puel will have the players fired up and if he has the dressing room on his side I'm expecting more fight from them than we got from Arsenal. Will be telling to see how much fight the saints boys put up, they'll dig it in I think purely because the manager from last year coming back and turning them over is going to be embarrassing.

    Looking forward VVD knocking Mr Rat clean out of his boots at some point.

    Personally I don’t give a hoot about Puel. He did very well out of us. Got a shot in PL, went to Wembley, got massive pay off, wasn’t out of work very long & is now employed by one of our rivals. Good for him. I hope we win. End of. COYS.

    I have a good feeling about this one, I'm really hoping Boufal starts and can add some end product to his direct play. I predict a lot of goals but a narrow win for saints maybe 3-2.

    I think Leicester will find it harder to break us down than some people seem to be suggesting.

    Arsenal struggled to, Bournemouth got a soft one, Everton got a worldy and City threw the kitchen sink and only just did it with a fluke deflection and a worldy. We’re looking strong at the back.

    We do for the most of the match and then we usually concede. Clean sheets a rare commodity this season.

    If we sit deep they are knackered as they rely on running in behind the defence on the break so simply deny them that space and they will struggle to score.
    Personally i would go with 5 at the back with two defensive midfielders and use the wing backs to support the attack

    I'm easily confused....so today's matchday...that makes it Saturday, right?

    Did a double blink before my brain kicked into gear there....that's the downside of retirement....no natural structure to week<laugh>

    Weather forecast is poor again for tonight, wet and windy again, may depend on which team is able to cope with the conditions?
    Hope Mahrez has an off game!

    Good start by Puel at the Foxes - however their players seem to get fed up of their managers after a while, and stop playing for them, so it may not last.

    Puel says he hopes Saints' fans remember the good times....so do I.
