What Strachan did was superb considering his resources. What the club achieved was only flirting with success though when you consider what Boro and Fulham did for example.

It was good, but could be improved upon with a bit of investment.

Totally agree. Except I don't think what we achieved under Strachan was that great. We got an easy route to a cup final and got d!cked, got into Europe through the back door and lasted one game. We had some decent players but there was no real investment (even when we are playing well players like Ormerod do not really put bums on seats). There is scope to achieve more now.

The funniest option would be for the pompey trust to buy the club and have all the dumb skates fork out £1000 for their share. Then a year down the line go bust again.

We've only ever discussed future plans and aspirations, only your little head somehow interpreted that as meaning we expect it to happen next week. There has clearly been a communication failure. It's quite clear what Cortese's future plans for SFC are, and that obviously depends on demand and what happens on the pitch.

If MLG had drawn those we all know what you and your other small-minded pleb's responses would have been. We've only EVER talked about plans and ambitions.

ha ha

Good to see some were proved right about what the club would be planning.

Almost as if they are just plans?

I dunno why we are planning that, we're only a small club FFS.

That's the extra away ticket sorted then.

A is upper middle class B middle class C1 lower middle class Think 71% is quite a high percentage. Basically our fans are richer and less chavy than average.

Oh come on, it is a nightmare start. I've seen Saints in the prem enough seasons to know that. It's good to get points on the board early, calms the nerves, give the team confidence and eases the pressure. If we're approaching October on zero points we all know the pressure that brings.

The order of games doesn't mean a great deal but newly promoted sides do tend to have a honeymoon period which can give you something to build on. Getting smashed in our opening few games might not do alot for momentum and confidence.

What a nightmare start, next season will be a struggle.

Probably because most of that time we were not skint.

Virtually everyone works hard, my best mate works himself to the bone but doesn't earn great money. Another mate earns an absolute fortune and spends most his life on a golf course. We all pay tax and it's right that those who can afford to pay more, you still get more money the more you work. We need to reduce the tax burden on the lowest paid and cut benefits to get he work shy off their asses. people in the 50% tax bracket who moan are just plain greedy IMO.

How come Holland havn't already been knocked out if it goes on head to head? They have already lost to Germany and Denmark and can only reach 3 points?

I think the recent managerial merry-go-round might have given us a better chance of staying up. Norwich, West Brom and Swansea are all teams that may be alot worse this year. Wigan will be down there and I don't think West Ham will do as well as people think. I can see next year being even more of a two tier league.

I know the clubs get told in advance along with the rozzers so this could be true. Would have been nice to get a glamour fixture to start but this could be a good chance to get some points on the board early on.

saint lard's post proves that this place is inhabited by nutjobs.

Bruce is talking ******, there is no way we are in the same class as Swansea, they have £40mill in the bank because they've been in the Prem a season FFS.

I would go for Cork, easily good enough for the Prem and probably more captain material than Schneiderlin. If Adkins see's Fonte as his top centre back it will probably be him though.

Lawrensen is just a miserable ***t, I really don't get how he stays in his job. I don't mind Hansen and Shearer, though being scottish should rule Hansen out of being a pundit for a England game.
