Yeah but you know what NC's like. The money is probably there but he just wants to come out on top to massage his ego.

F*CKING GREAT !! Now our new manager will always be labelled as 2nd choice.

Maybe just maybe there are 2 Gillinghams

I burnt mine a bit with an iron. Went to the megastore yesterday as I was on SMS tour. Only size S. You could always buy an England strip that has just been superseded and paint a sash on it. Think theyre going for like £10

Who remembers on Jim'l fix it in the eighties, I think it was a young female fun got to be the mascot or something for Saints and met all the players etc. It was something like 1981 with Keegan, Ball, Channon etc. If you were the girl, declare yourself. Does anyone have the vid? Would love to see it again as this was on not long after I started supporting the Saints.

I reckon the OS is going to keep us waiting like they did for the new shirt. Tomorrow there will be an article entitled "The manager is coming" and then another next week entitled "just a little longer to wait"

O'Neill is favourite here. http://www.skybet.com/betting/football/manager-specials/t10002896.html

Cant believe how it all seems doom and gloom. Were 6 points off top spot with a game in hand. We havent lost all our games. Weve won one, drawn one, lost two and have a postitive goal difference. FFS a good appointment this week and 3 points on Saturday and we'll all be saying how great things are.

According to Ladbrokes and Will Hill anyway http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb/betting/e/1171774/English-League-1---Outright.html http://sports.ladbrokes.com/en-gb/Football/English/League-OneFootball/English/League-One-s99?dispSortId=253&byocList=s99

Is it blocked off at the moment then

Me too. I feel he will buckle under the pressure. There's also the fact that he's a c*nt.

Im not worried about the result, more that this is indicitive of our mood right now and Saturday will be similar.

Not sure he would get on with Puncheon, Jaidi and Gully.

Shearer is 5/2. Christ !! http://www.skybet.com/betting/football/manager-specials/t10002896.html

Imagine West Ham fans asking Brooking to keep quite about Wham issues. A lady in my office and her husband are good friends with Pardew and his wife and she says its obvious why he went. Basically Pardew does get peoples backs up, is so full of himself and properly hasnt given NC any respect, just attitude. It's the most blatant personality clash ever.

I loved the day out last season but also strongly believe we would have been in the play offs had it not been for our cup runs. Leeds were strolling this league last season until they beat ManUre in the cup and also got to the Northern final in the JPT, and they nearly didnt even go up. Put our reserves out for the JPT and if we want a record, lets score the most goals ever in a league.

We should have got at least a point v Plymouth. Should have won against LO hitting the woodwork twice and loads of chances missed despite a poor performance by our standards. Soon a lot of teams in this league will start to suffer from having small squads and having put too much into their opening games (eg Bournemouth). It wont be long before we wont even get excited about winning coz we'll just get too used to it. The futures red and white.

As long as Butt has a good crack, I'm happy.

We all forget Davies was a donkey at his second spell with us. We gave him enough chances but he always seemed to be lumbering around missing chances. When he went to Bolton he seemed to shed a lot of weight which transformed him. I guess WGS should have tried that.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/8345452.Pardew_plays_the_waiting_game/ "Pardew believes that as business continues to take place elsewhere during the window that better players than are currently on the market will become available, allowing Saints to pounce. " Am I missing something here? Shouldn't we be the ones getting the better players that are available rather than waiting for what's left over.

If we had gone 2 up in the first half which we were unlucky not to do, LO would have crumbled.

Whatever you say, its clear both NC and ML's family want to get this club to a better place and do it ML's name. I'm well up for tomorrow. Reckon a crowd of around 27-28k

Imagine a Prem Leauge wife working behind a bar now. KK signing - thats when I decided to support saints. Will never forget Higginbum leveller at Palace in 2005. Ran into bathroom and jumped all over bath nearly breaking neck. Will never forget shock of last Wednesday. Went on OS and the headline just came out to me.

Why the f*ck have you posted a pic of that ****.
