They were sh1te coz they had already won the league. One point I will make though is they have lost 2 pivotal players in Murray in Bennett whilst we have gone the summer without any real loss. So they have made some strong signings whilst we havent, we still have Lambo, AL, Fonte, Spiderman etc and even if we were to lose AOX to Arsenal or whateverm that would spark some serious spending.

Fair play to Brighton. Theyve had it bad for so long. All my family and a lot of my friends support them and to think where they were in the late nighties. I might stroll down to their new bizarre looking stadium this coming season for an evening game or 2. I think the difference between us and them is they are trying to make a statement here. They have one guy at the helm who is definitely doing a Jack Walker and enjoying himself in the process. We are being far more careful and wont pay silly money nor wages - were just slow but surely following our 5 year Premiership plan.

The Brighton owner has spent 90mil of his own cash on their new stadium. Who knows what wages they were offering him?

You cant blaim NA or even NC for this. Theyre not gonna pursue a player who doesnt want to play for us.

I dont reckon we should sign CMS. He must be in his 50's seeing as he appeared in a sitcom in the 80's

Coventry away I reckon

No because theirs is blue and white. If they think these shirts are gonna have the impact of last years then they should think again. Last years shirt was so popular coz: - no sponsor - it was a smart shirt different than most footy shirts. - 125 anniversary special. I'm certainly gonna keep my sash shirt hanging in the wardrobe whereas all my other old saints shirts are stuffed in the bottom of a set of drawers never to be worn again. Personally, if they were to release it now, I would get it so I can wear it during the summer and maybe at the gym. Now they are release it in late July I probably wont bother. I'll have the new season to look forward to instead. Thats just me though. I also wont be buying it to make a point. Another point to make is that the shirt is 11-12. So just one year then? Meaning I cant wear it for most of this summer, then come next summer I'll be wearing a shirt that is about to be replaced. The decision to release it so late fuels the opinion of others clubs that were arrogant. Like were so massive that releasing a bloody footy t-shirt is such a big event and we should savour it. Cortese out! Adkins out!

Cortese out !

The point is its a f*cking t shirt. You wear them during the summer. So why let half the summer get away before releasing it. Most other clubs know what their shirt will be.

What a f*king joke. The one thing to keep the boredom away during the summer of no football (especially with no Euros or world cup) is the buying of the new shirt and possibly wearing it while on holiday. Why the hell are we waiting until just before the season starts.

they look like theyre signing Lua lua too who was on loan there earlier in the season

Coventry away. 1 - 1

Perhaps he just had an itchy nose.

So were changing our badge and sponsor then

Whatever. Its been that way since I was born.

Hell no. We escaped lightly when they changed our badge - only changing the ball. Loads of teams have changed their badges in the past few years. Why?? Shirts come and go and the badge is what sticks to a club. Look at Brighton - gone back their original badge.

Three words - PAINT SHOP PRO

So they go on sale that week. Surely pics of the kit will be revealed a few weeks before then.

Yes Harding has but didnt exactly excel in the teams he played for. Chaplow was good for us in the Championship in 2006 but perhaps isnt as good now (dropped by relegated Preston) I think the important thing is to give players a chance and to keep a winning team, but inevitably there will be weaknesses and we'll address that in January.

I think we'll be pretty average and the likes of Hammond, Harding and Chaplow will be exposed as not good enough for this league. I reckon we'll then invest in January and push towards the play offs ending up 5th or 6th.

coz all of our players make Pompey look ****e.

Thanks for that link mate but bizarly I dont have the same contents on my C drive as you do.

Still reckon we would have stayed up in 2005 had we not sacked Sturrock. Going back to 20 years ago, I remember CN being sacked due to lack of silverware

I had hard feeling as we deserved at least a draw in the home game and deservedly won at Pride park. The fact that Derby finished 3rd and us 6th did kinda soften the injustice of it all.

I didnt realise until I saw Lee Clark being interviewed after their 2nd leg the other night that Lee Clark is indeed a complete and utter nutter. I'm sure he was coked up.
