um pahars

That's how I saw it. Looked as though Murty went into Carr attempting to block his shot, but as you say Lallana was checked moments before which should have been a free kick to us.

LMFAO. I suppose I should be flatterred by the continual namechecks from the loon;)

What's all the fuss been about???? A really good performance with a number of very good individual performances. There is no way a neutral would have thought we were two divisions apart. Dominated large periods of the game and much to praise tonight. Scores on the doors: KD - 8 - some good saves Murty - 8 - Solid and dependable Perry - 7 - Faded towards the end, but still a good performance Thomas - 7 - Nothing sophisticated, but put himself about. Sold Gillet short somewhat for one of their goals (I think) Harding - 8 - Liked the look of him Melias - 7 - A bit lightweight, but showed some skill Wotton - 6 - Didn't relly see him much James - 6 - As Wotton Lallana - 9 - For someone who I thought had underperformed last season (and others had the same this season) I thought he was magnificent. Some sublime touches and a great finish Saga - 8 - Good movement and skill Lambert - 8 - Liked what I saw of him tonight Subs: Gillett - 6 - Game seemed to pass him by Paterson - 6 - Not sure he did much Scheiderlin - 6 - Didn't make an impact Very good atmosphere and good support which I thought was a direct result of the effort given by the players. If we play like that, then we will be OK.

I'll just say partner next time which I'm sure will get some on here hot under the collar:D PS She did it first, I just followed after her, and didn't recognise any of the players (then again I'm not sure I'll recognise many from the Saints team tonight!!!!).

After Le Tissier dragged the Club through the mud and soured his reputation:rolleyes: and standing amongst Saints fans, they have issued a new one that is slightly tarnished;). It has some dirt and muck down one side, looks rather ordinary, is cheap, and will only stay in one place. Apparently only one has been custom made to order. Only problem is the person who placed the order has left 8 different names on the order, maybe the mods could help them out.

I've either put them off or really got them riled, as just after 12 the Team Coach drove by Queen's Park and my girlfriend and I gave them the secret V's.:smt109

There was a piece in an interview with The Times where he mentions he had conversations with friends in the other potential consortiums: "I was trusting that everything I was being told was absolutely kosher, and most of it was,” he said. “Then all of a sudden the funding, which was from Switzerland, fell through. At the end I could see that this was damaging the club and I said, ‘This is enough, let’s get out and let someone else come in.’ “We knew that Markus Liebherr [now the owner] was around, and there was another group based in Monte Carlo. I knew people in all three groups, so I was getting info from three directions, and they were all mates of mine so it was really difficult. “But it’s all worked out for the best in the end, I think. Markus Liebherr is obviously a very wealthy man. The club is stabilised from a financial point of view and that’s what’s most important, as long as they stay up this season.”

Quality quote by Matty on how he might not have been able to cope with the current emphasis on fitness etc, something like: "Prozone would have killed my game, showing up the miles I didn't run"

I posted something similar on another thread and what was really warming was the many, many great comments and appreciative sentiments from fans up and down the country. A great ambassador for the Club and is obviously held in high regard by the football fraternity. As some bloke from "Oooop North" said, "I doubt we'll see his like again".

Ponty has already confirmed he was previously registered as Sundance Beast and after being banned was allowed to reregister as Nineteen Canteen earlier this year under a supposed amnesty!!! And when he was Sundance Beast he admitted he used to post under different user names as well, saying: "You also miss the point that I was banned as The Fourth Bear also was found out to be Flashmanatthecharge ............ I am amazed having admitted to being a previous banned user I have not been banned." HTH

Wonderful interview with MLT with some heart warming comments & contributions from fans up and down the country who obviously appreciated his contribution to the game. Simon Mayo was particularly gushing and as usual Matty comes acoss as a real gentlemen and a great ambassador for our Club.

Can't really comment on how we've looked so far (as tonight is my first match), but given our results today (and people's feedback on here) it looks as though Pardew clearly recognises there still is much work to do. Although I'm sure we would have liked it sewn up before the season started considering the nightmare of a closed season that we had then maybe it's no surprise it's dragged on a bit. I see this season as stabilising the rot and building for a concerted promotion push next year.

I may have been drunk but when I was on holiday I'm sure I watched basketball matches with mini trampolines all over the court. Wondered what was going on with these players bouncing everywhere, so your quote may have some substance in it if the Americans get a hold of "Soccer" administration!!!!!!

Methinks you're being massively, massively over generous there;)

Just because I disagree with what people might be posting I'm certainly not saying they are the tossers, idiots or trolls, far from it. I think there's a world of difference between holding and espousing a different opinion on here and the antics of a few idiots and trolls on here. It's easy to distinguish between the two styles.

Are you the Pulis Jnr Man then?????? When you eventually get round to buying me those pints then please don't call me Um Pahars to my face.

You really are reading a tad too much into the use of first names by people who know each other on here!!!!!! Unless of course you deem all friendship groups as cliques.

So are you saying that if you know people on here very well then you shouldn't address them by their first name??? Have to say I sometimes find it rather weird referring to some of my friends by stupid internet forum user names!!!!! Methinks you're reading too much into being pleasant and cordial to acquaintances.

And I think that when those instances arise and someone acts like a twot, then the vast majority can clearly see who the prck is. I certainly think we could all have a look at how we talk to each other on here at times, but at the same time it is pretty obvious who the tssers, trolls and idiots out there are (and Fitzhugh Fella is certainly not amongst them).

Well if we're defending the Northam end then perhaps you should try blowing the ball away from our net and into the oppositions;)

If only it were that easy!!!! Wasn't it Bogarde who just sat in Chelsea's ressies (even if he played for them!!) earning £40k a week????

I think you're right there in that people do take it too serious on here and everyone is guilty to some degree of talking bollix, waffle etc etc etc. With the exception of one or two wakners who cross the line the vast majority of posts/posters on here are fairly innocuous and as you say meeting posters in "real life" can often be a pleasant surprise. I reckon even sotonjoe isn't the cck he comes across as on here (PS sotonjoe the weather was great;))

PTSD kicking in????

LOL, you get 90% just for completing the front page of your exam paper at those places!!!!
