Traditionally, my mum used to give us a Christmas morning hair-cut before we had a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

Come on you lot, just bee-hive yourselves, this is a football forum, not "Hairdressers Weekly"

It`s very sad to see everyone carmen out of the woodwork with these hair related remarks.

Radio Solent this morning said that a certain player would be missing from tonights team as he was in discussion with another club regarding a transfer and that "fringe" players would be given a chance to prove themselves tonight.

Just wait until we "Grammar Police" get going.

May be, but this is the Prem. They can make up or bend their own rules don`t forget.

But it`s not about differing opinions. FF posted a bit of information that he had and was told that he was a bull****ter. The poster had, I would imagine, no knowledge as to whether that information was correct or not but dismissed FF in an insulting way. You could say "just get over it" but why should he? Sensible exchange of views and opinion is perfectly fine, and along with a laugh and a joke is how things should be, but there is a trend on here for people to respond, not in an intelligent way, but with with base insults.

Is that a Barcalona fan at the wrong game sitting in the front row, above the d above the water bottles to the left of the Flybe sign?

He just KNEW that having that Chicken Madras the night before would have a devastating effect on the opposition players.

Yes they have, and it`s so good that they repeat it over and over again.

Face like a horse????

He was doing that as well???:shock:

But if the interview was recent it`s hardly living in the past is it and it is Saints related isn`t it? I actually found it interesting, if accurately reported.

Stefan Quandt???

No. "woken".

It would be nice to know!

Mark Kermodes review:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode/2009/08/5_live_review_inglourious_bast.html

A decent read. He says all of the right things but more importantly, sounds like he means them.

Every week for the last week-and-a-half you mean??

Sadly, I don`t think that promotion is just around the corner. I think that this season is going to be, at best, a difficult season of consolidation. We are -9, have a good manager (probably better than we should have given our situation), a team that needs changing virtually completely ( and he did have no pre-season time to start this process), and so we hear, no real "football" structure behind the scenes. To get this right is going to take blood, sweat, tears (mainly from us fans I expect!) but mainly time! I suspect that there will be a few more Huddersfields and Swindons before we get to where we want to be, but I am much more confident that we will get there.

I accept that FF, and as I said my post wasn`t aimed particularly at you, but mainly at the people that suddenly announce that they "knew" from the start that the Pinnacle bid would fail. Even you said that you supported it at the beginning. I think that we all had doubts as time went on.

I didn`t hear too many grumbles after the Millwall and Cobblers games a week ago. Pardew did not have anything like the same amount of time as other managers pre-season, bearing in mind that most teams start preparations for one season before the last one has ended. For people to have made a decision on Pardew after two games in four days is quite clearly lunacy. What will happen if we win the next two well? Are you going to change your opinion and say that Pardew is brilliant and that we will win the league, or will you stick to your knee-jerk negative stance?

And even more importantly - Patience!!

Of course it is valid! Whilst other teams have had settled, organised pre-seasons, Pardew has had what - 3 - 4 weeks? He inherited a very poor squad, has in that time added 5 players and convinced KD to stay. This time last week, everyone was happy after a draw against Millwall, a win in the Carling Cup, and the signing of last years FL top scorer. A week later after two bad displays, Pardew is tactically inept, and doesn`t know what he is doing. After a week!!! Some fans on here don`t deserve a club!!

And so did virtually everybody else on here, but suddenly we have the "I am ITK and I knew from Day One that Pinnacle were just tyre-kickers" mob coming on here and re-writing history just like they did after the "Saints Go Wilde" fiasco. We all started having doubts when things dragged on, but Fialka was only put on show at the end of, or just after the period of exclusivity officially ended. Hind-sight is a wonderful thing isn`t it? Make you feel really important doesn`t it? This isn`t aimed at FF particularly, there are plenty on here who fit the bill!
