on the main forum? I notice the one started earlier (re Hart's removal) was quickly moved, but I would like to see one thread stay on the main board as I think, as they are our main rivals (and always have been), most genuine Saints fans have always shown an interest in what's going on down the road and would like the opportunity to express their views to a wider audience. And let's be honest what is happening down the road is simply too delicious to bannish to a lounge etc surely? Am I in a minority here? It seems to me the mods on here can't wait to move the odd Poopey thread that perhaps actually should stay on the main board. Have they no soul? Do they not realise how intrinsic Poopey's fortunes are to our own. Do any of them live in So'ton, do any of them really "get" the feeling of how good it is when the skates suffer? Mods are you secret Poopey fans? I jest! The Pompey takeover thread which Ponty and his mates (again tongue in cheek) did their best to sabotage, change, censure whatever, is still going strong on the lounge which proves that the debacle at Pompey is probably a little more interesting than the latest song about Lambert (as good as it is). So can we not have one thread on the main forum about Pompey's slow but inevitable demise, because there is nothing better than discussing the death of our nearest and oldest rivals? Perhaps the Pompey takeover thread should be re-instated or will that be too much of a climbdown. Rallyboy, for instance, is writing some cracking posts which need to reach a wider audience? Check it out on the Lounge - its a classic. So what a stormy night - Poopey sacking a manager who was doing - imo - a damn good job and us beating mighty Hartlepool and moving up to 21st. Funny old game football. Please God deliver George Burley into Fratton by morning.

Yeah but you were born with your head in the sand Hypo. Yes it looks good but drop the line a bit and it doesn't look so good. Its called spin, man wake up to it.

Nick you should get a job with the Labour Party - they are in need of a "feel good" spin doctor now Campbell has gone. How long did you have this post prepared? Are you related to AP? Beware, as ever, raising expectations, your arse will get bitten!

Dear Santa - I will leave out an extra glass of sherry if you deliver Gorgeous George Burley into Fratton.

If he took the job and made them successful I would buy you a season ticket. Lots of names bounded about on Sky - Dowie for one! I really do think they have made a massive mistake. I have seen Poopey play on tv quite a few times this season and much as it grieves me to admit it, they were actually playing well. If I was a Chairman of a struggling CCC side tonight I'd be checking out Hart's contact details (and let's not forget he saved them last season after Adams poor time in charge). Back to Burley - I await his next appointment with interest. Peterborough anyone?

Grants not got his licence - Burley must be in with a shout and he's cheap enough.

Come on down Marcus Liebherr and Southampton City Council although I have more faith in the former than the latter.

Rather see Wotton in midfield than James.

Bern, If Burley gets the Fratton job you can pop down to see just how good he is! Sorry couldn't resist it. Getting rid of Hart is madness for them. Much as I hate Poopey, I have to admit Hart had them playing with spirit and not a little skill. Sacking him will be the biggest nail in their coffin imo. I really can't believe they have done what they have. This proves the lunatics have well and truly taken over the asylum. Wouldn't be at all surprsied to see Burley unveiled.

You have a point but don't forget Lowe and Co were always answerable to the shareholders/fans while Liebherr is only answerable to himself, ultimately. A point I rather unsuccesfully tried to make on here in the summer.

Out of all our recent managers, going back 20 years Pardew talks the most sense. So he can talk the talk for sure. He has a way to go before he can claim to walk the walk however but he does not have an easy job, even without financial restrictions. I am extremely grateful I haven't got to listen to the gibberish of Burley however.

If he left they would fall apart. One thing I give him credit for is he has them playing with spirit and under the circumstances that must have taken some doing!

If you had gone to the Brighton game you might have lowered your optimism a tad. It was quite an eye opener. Beaten by a better side - a sobering thought when it was Brighton!

He's cup-tied (Eastleigh v Basingstoke)!

The Observer is reporting today that there may be at least another week to wait before the embargo is lifted (if at all) despite the club saying on Monday it would happen within 48 hours. Also Grant's work permit is still not granted.

Bit OTT I agree however yesterday was incredibly frustrating especially in the last 10 minutes when both sides were pushing hard in the swirling wind. On two occasions we broke with Waigo in good scoring positions but both times he got into offside positions and the oportunity was wasted. The first time was criminal because he was wide on the right and could see the whole field of play yet still could not stay onside. I would rather not have him on the pitch because on the 2nd occasion, if he wasn't there, Melis might well have gone on by himself and scored instead of laying it on for the blatantly offside Waigo. If you had been there too too might have been saying "moronic" things about him. You should have heard a few comments in the Northam. If he can't learn the offside rule then I will stick to my guns and say I'd rather we didn't take up his option to buy him when his loan runs out.

Apologies I withdraw my insult - I see why you said who cares now. I agree too, that the Michael Winner advert is extremely annoying.

If you don't care why do you bother posting - if you can't think of anything to say why don't you slink off back to under your stone and keep quiet rather than insult everyone who does care. You really are a cretin of the highest order.

That reply has confirmed to me what sort of person you are. A sort of Michael Winner smug sort of arse. If you have got nothing to say why say anything? You are a total nob.

KD massively overated on this forum. Good shot stopper but no command of his area, flaps at crosses and does not instil confidence. And he makes more mistakes than most. Sorry not a fan!

keep going over the top mate - lets hope you don't catch a bullet.

Agree entirely and Davis should shoulder blame today - he has never dominated his area and got caught out today. Norwich were far the superior side and we have a way to catch them up. Not a problem but if people like NickG hadn't raised expectations with talk of playoffs etc then many of us would not be feeling too ****ed off tonight.

Armchair fans are getting worn out now! FFS Phil you should have tried going mate, the weather was crap and you got "tired out and hungry" listening to your tranny? I sometimes wonder if we should have one forum for fans who go and some who can't be bothered.

I don't know if he was offside those last 2 occasions but if he was I would rather he never played for us again as his neglect would be criminal.
