"I understand what it takes in this league to win games." says Mark Hughes on his appointment as Saints manager. Well he couldn't win many games over the last 12 months could he!

Chelsea 0-3 Bournemouth Bournemouth 2-1 Stoke Watford 4-1 Chelsea Brighton 3-1 West Ham Swansea 3-1 Arsenal Swansea 1-0 Liverpool The teams around us are achieving remarkable results, we continue to huff and puff and concede goals. Lose against Brighton and we are DOWN.

Marco Silva is the latest manager to be sacked by Watford. They have now had 10 managers in six years. What a well run club they are!!

A power cut at the Bet365 stadium on Saturday resulted in a delayed kick-off between Stoke City and West Ham United. When the game finally kicked-off the Stoke players appeared to be 'switched off' for the entire 90 minutes and were 'powerless' to prevent the Hammers taking all 3 points in a 3-0...

......for the Baggies. Played 2, won 2, both 1-0. Sickening isn't it

Whelan, Walters, Adam, Johnson, Bardsley, Crouch, Grant.....and now Fletcher!! Plenty of experience but zero pace. Will they be able to defend our premier league status next season? The transfer kitty has been withheld by the Coates family 'Kinnell................. is he still alive as he...

He's joined them for £10m. I think it's a good signing for Bournemouth as he is a far better keeper than Boruc imo. I'm not a fan of the cherries due to their antics vs us this season, and because of the media love-in for Eddie Howe. However they finished in 'our' position this last season and I...

for diving in the penalty area, who would have thought it?

Well after all the ups and downs (largely downs perhaps) we have finished just 2 points shy of 8th place which would have continued Mark Hughes's progress in a strange way. So has the season been that bad? That 46 points has been sufficient to earn 8th place suggests that overall the season for...

........for a team to lose by the same score to the same team 3 times in a row? And even worse, losing by 4 goals to nil

How come the baggies are able to score and we struggle? That's two home games at least now that they have hit 4 goals and they are coached by an ultra defensive bloke.

So Sam has picked his first England squad and still no call-up for Shawcross. Maybe not too surprising since he was injured during the latter part of last season and is struggling to find his best form. However, as Sam was at Everton on Saturday running the rule over Everton and Stoke I thought...

It's being reported that Woy is considering a job in China for a salary twice what he received from the FA for ineptly managing England.....not bad eh?

I've just been thinking how low key and seemingly unimportant Final day is becoming. When I was growing up the FA Cup Final was the highlight of the season. I remember watching the BBC TV coverage from early morning and took an interest in the teams, their route to the final and various other...

Such bad news, Jack has a fractured ankle and is out for up to 3 months. Cruel luck for him as he is unlikely to be fit for the Euros. It's also our loss of course and extends our curse with regards to injuries this season.

Last night's appearance from off the bench was Peter Crouch's 400th Premier league appearance. A milestone for him. Although his game time is limited these days he's turned out to be a very good signing for Stoke (despite the fee we paid for him and W(aste of space) Palacios). A true...

It seems that our skipper is not yet fit enough for the Villa game on Saturday, and I would not be surprised if he missed the Newcastle game on Wednesday as well. I wonder if we know the full extent of his injury and could it be that we may not see him in action again this term. Does anyone in...

Still a while to go yet but both Sunderland and Newcastle remain in the bottom three. They could go down and be replaced by Middlesbrough. £80m spent by McLaren.

The 2nd leg is upon us and the weather forecast is for rain and strong winds. I sincerely hope we can turn the tie around in our favour. It will be a huge ask though, especially with Shawcross missing, and me being usually pessimistic when the stakes are high. Let's hope we can put pressure on...

Not that I want the foxes to take the title but it seems to me that nobody else has any desire to win it. Arsenal down to 10 and a goal down at home to a relegation threatened team. Manchester City unable to win away from home. I still cannot understand how Leicester have gone from relegation...
