Bolton. Nope, can't get excited.

Agreed.

Leave them to their own crapulence. Karma will do the rest.

A good point well made. It means it's even more likely though.

Portsmouth at home please.

Way ahead of you.

Very well said mate.

It was cool having a player called 'Zoltan.'

What happen's now? We grieve, that's what happens now.

I am not ashamed to say I wept a little in the car when the news broke. So sudden. Thankyou for a wonderful 13 months Markus, I've had so much fun watching our revival, I hope it gave you the same joy. For the sake of your memory we must now push on.

He isn't perfect. No-one is. Looking at the bigger picture though I am delerious. From the scrap heap to ruthless ambition in 13 short and enjoyable months. I will happily take the rougher edges of Cortese's personality if it also brings the success he craves.

Why did I renew my forum subscription? Someone please remind me.

If the Skates go bust we will have no local rivals. As for future rivalry? No, our rivals are the Skates and whatever pheonix club would rise from the ashes (If it comes to that...).

That's just it, it's really not. I actually like to see Bournemouth do well! I want us to win, but wouldn't mind if Bournemouth do. I was amazed at my ambivalence when the fixture was drawn but here we are.

Proximity isn't the issue. The fact I don't care is.

I just can't get motivated to go to see this game. And to think they reckon this is a derby? Rediculous.

O'Neil. But Pardew is a bl**dy excellent manager for League 1 level. He will never reach the 'perfection' many demand but he will do more then just a job for us.

Must be the fall out from losing another player to Man City. Why try to build a team when every single major talent will be immediately snapped up?

Whoever thought up the idea of a 'Beef Madras Pasty' needs a medal. No food ran out in the family stand and virtually no queuing. Outstanding.

Hello Yes, my Mum lives up in Qawra, one of the touristy towns on the island's north coast. If you want to avoid clubs do not stay at Paceville/St Julians. It's the night life centre for the island and can get quite rowdy. Qawra is good, lively enough to enjoy but not so loud for it to be too much, many bars/restaurants. etc. Buggiba is the ajoining town to Qawra and is a bit like Blackpool in the med. If you want a holiday with all the brit trimmings it'll do you proud! Don't worry about transport, the buses are excellent and conveneint, you can cover the island from end to end in less then 45 minutes. Based on what you are asking for try looking for Hotels in Mellieha bay, Qawra (NOT Buggiba) and Valetta. There is an awesome hotel in Mdina called the Xara Palace, referenced further up the thread if you have the cash, it's stunning.

I am usually a bit 'happy clappy' about club matters but I can't help but be a bit cautious. It just doesn't feel right being most people's favourites to win the league. At least as underdogs the feeling is greater when you do win.

Good news regarding the attitude of the player(s). Can't wait for kick off today.

A win to go fourth at Xmas time. Funny how it was downhill for 5 years after that until last season. There is only one team in Hampshire..... but I hope the pretenders do survive in a funny way. Simply dying in one stroke is too easy on them. Let them suffer a long a protracted humiliation. Make them really pay for cheating as outrageously as they have. Funny how a club likes to play with the big time pro's yet pleads for sporting chance when it bites them on the arse. F*cking filth.

It's wayyyyy baggier. I had a Large last season it was too tight, this year I have a large and it's too baggy.

Not quite the awe inspiring rallying cry I was hoping for but nonetheless I trust him and Cortese to back him. Come on you Saints!
