This argument makes the assumption that if something is not in the press or on the internet then it does not exist or is not true. Don't you think that is a bit dumb? Mind you - I agree with your last point. People are already thinking we will walk this league. It doesn't work like that. And if we were to lose the first three, for example, (I know, v unlikely) there will be lots calling for Pardew's head. sorry - was replying to Nick F's post: Im expect GB does like a drink, so do most of us. Time and again I heard these stories of him out of his brain etc, but not once did anybody have a mobile with a camera to show it. That was at little SFC, he then became Scotlands manager where the tabloids would be looking to set him up.Can anyone show me articles in the NOTW or any other paper with such an expose. i think people should feel ashamed that they peddle this stuff ,mainly by hearsay, like petulant kids just because they didnt like the way he was managing the football team. If the fans had been behind him and not picking away perhaps we could have done better. The fans singing Burley for Scotland etc could hardly be helping the team. This season i an concerned that due to the fans expectations they will be a negative as if things dont go well early on ,some will get on the backs of the manager/ team/players

time to dust off my brilliant suggestion that his name was in fact George Barley. Laughing my tits off at that, I am.

Thing is, if he gets an offer he likes, he'll be offski, no matter what. I think personally he might be tempted by an offer from Newcastle or similar - he may be thinking that it represents one last chance at the big time. Hope he stays though.

Could this be to apply pressure and panic Southampton City Council into allowing expansion plans at St Mary's?

Pulis is as good as Heskey, says Saints Forum poster.

Did he drop the bottle? Or was he just taking the Piz (Buin).

Is this for Southmouth? (newly merged club)

PS Heskey made Gerrard's goal

Rob Green did one thing wrong. Capello did many - bringing on the useless Wright Phillips, not bringing on J Cole, playing Rooney way too deep, not bringing on Defoe, taking the crock King in the first place, no holding midfielder - but all the England 'fans' want to talk about was that goal we conceded. Did anyone notice we couldn't get one back at the other end? On reflection Kelvin would have been quite good up front.

Yes, how is Kelvin, Nick? Is he rubbing the sun tan lotion in okay? Arf

Kelvin for England. Best joke I've heard in years.

Gordon Strachan makes shock return as player.

what an absolute Ranker Xerox

Rumours are that we are playing a 1-2-5 formation next year.

I think it's pretty good, although the 125 circle does look like a price sticker that supermarkets put on sausages. On the whole, though, not a bad effort.

I won big stylee when Redknapp went back to that poohole down the road. Well, big-ish.

Blue Square now making Pardew 40-1 for West Ham job. He wasn't on it last time I looked. hmmm

No. 'Sullivan' does not rhyme...

He's got the Mido touch

shame he's krap

Kieron Dyer, £70k a week. Crocked most weeks. Says it all really.

No, it's true. boom tish

who is Romsey?

erm...who is NP?

Me too. I would add my suspicion that a possible reason for all of this is that - maybe - Pards did talk to West Ham about taking over from Zola until the little Italian clung on, and that NC either was told or found out. I think it also possible that Pards has agreed to go or NC has asked Hughes to take over as his 'punishment'. When it gets this complex, I'd say relations have broken down. Mind you, could all be balls and just our/my paranoia. I'm not a massive fan of Pards but would opt for a bit of stability right now, certainly over Hughes, who I remember seemingly not really trying for us under Dave Jones (over 50 apps, two goals), and creating hostility in the dressing room, largely because of the wages he was taking.
