um pahars

In the context of being top after 9 games, a defeat at Cardiff is no real bummer, as we're well ahead of where I thought we would be. The downer is after last nights results and Cardiff's injury crisis I thought we had a really good chance of extending our lead. A couple of days ago would have settled for a point, so only a point dropped in my mind. We're going to lose matches in this division (even if we maintain our promotion push), so regroup for the weekend.

give me a point fellas give me apoint

Would agree with that, in that I think we are light up front if DC and RL aren't producing. Jos got done by J-Rod on Saturday and cost us one tonight, so IMHO the two areas identified by NA might be undoing us!!!!!

5live extra have been fairly complimentary, just saying we lack the final ball or clinical finish.

I quite agree. Never did fancy Hoddle The Sequel.

Isn't their skipper missing as well???

Not convinced (if you're allowed an opinion on here without being shot down in flames). Think we need more of a battling player in the middle of the park tonight. Worried Cork & Spiderman will be outmuscled/outfought.

And perhaps just as important, in our defence. We have looked a bit dodgy defending down the flanks.

I'd say more like 5-5 (all own goals). I've never said anything other than both sides are as bad as each other, with both responding to the others jibes. On occasions Benali restarted the squabble, on others it was Matty or Lawrie and on this occasion Cortese has reignited the b1tchfest. As Kraken and C B Fry have mentioned I just find it strange how some fail to accept that Cortese may have played a negative role in this and at the same time are only too keen to launch in to others, whilst not being as even handed with another of the protagonists. And I've constantly said that I wished it was either brought to a halt and everyone kept their thoughts to themselves or that hopefully someone could broker a meeting to get all the parties pulling together for the benefit of the Club.

I commented a couple of weeks ago that it looks as though this spat had petered out as both Matty and Lawrie had been very supportive of the Club in recent weeks and they had both been at recent games (Then Saturday Comes!!).

Wear your Saints top in the rifle club and you'll see first hand why batons are drawn!!!!

Fair enough, just that I would also argue that in the world of charitable (and other) donations, very often great benefit is felt by both the donor and the recipient. I'm not suggesting for one minute that ££££s don't count, they most obviously do.

Indeed, I'm still chuckling about it now. Anyone got a link to the goals?????????

I'm bored, so I'll have a look in ITN later on, but I would concur with thay view. May be wrong, but also think they regularly beat us back then (they did have a decent side mind).

Way off topic, but are you sure about your statement above??? Obviously the total in the bucket at the end is vitally important, but I would argue that just as important in a more holistic manner is where the donation came from. A ruthless, exploitative, criminal minded individual could donate £1million easily from his ill gotten gains, but I would venture that £1million donated from a wide number of poorer, humbler and more honest folk would have the better all round benefit to society. "For it is in giving that we receive". "You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving."

It was still up there last season when I was on a corporate day, very nice touch by Lowe may I add.

Hopefully tonight's results might fire us up!!! Would still go a bit tighter though and play Chaplow or Spiderman over Guly.

He's just told Jeff Shreeves of SKY: "I'm not feeling good mentally"

Just seen the Palace goals and they were pretty well worked, they were strolling past Brighton (6 goals conceded in last 2 games)

Maybe you can answer this one as everyone else I've asked have failed to do so. What does having an agenda mean and what is this agenda?

Would take a draw away against a tough team, havign seen our rivals slip up at home.

Shocking, what has this game come to????

Fook me!!!!!!!!! I now have to go back up the hospital as i have split my stitches!!!!!!!!!! 90+5 and a ******* Own Goal LMFAO

I just hurt myself!!!!!!! Gave a decent shout out and might have opened my stitches. Both Brighton and West Ham losing at home, Derby & Hull drawing. Stay top without even playing

Also just noticed Donny had pulled it back against Hull. Fingers crossed it stays like this as a pretty decent set of results
