That’s the game I always go back to, I was there for that. I think Norwich, just before that, who were terrible at that point had us sussed but we scraped a win.

no he wasn’t, we were circling the drain for a long while. He was well and truly worked out.

No thanks, this decline started with him.

He will, too much money at stake

Oh dear!

I doubt he’d care one bit if he believes in himself. I think it’s more along the lines of the commonly held theory there is something not right about the club.

We are going to smash them 0-0. I have tickets, can’t wait. We could be on a one game unbeaten run by 5 o’clock Saturday, and…. and we could have 13 points, thus smashing last season’s points total before Christmas!

We’ve already equalled last years points total, trust the process.

That’s exactly how I see it and why I’m not in favour of a change at this stage. We may have to re think later if we start getting pulled into the relegation area. SR are really unlikely to get a proven manager with the necessary authority's and gravitas to sort this out, it will be another coach who has to work within a framework and with what he is given by the geeks who are calling the shots.

I’m feeling a bit broken by all things Saints and Sports Republic at the moment, so, it really doesn’t matter who we think would fit because it’s extremely unlikely they will appoint that person.

No it’s not, I didn’t like that at all.

that doesn't make me feel any better.

When you say "didn't get close to winning the ball" I was standing to the left of the goal, a few rows back, and I made a comment to the person I was with that he was actively avoiding putting himself In a position to contest the ball.

I really can’t stand his singing.

In league 2?

Fraser is a pretty good wing back, didn’t he play there in the playoff final and the games leading up to it?

3-1 Saints

I see, I think you just have to accept that or find another sport to follow. I don’t really expect loyalty In this age, society has changed. We as supporters aren’t very loyal or patient with players who are probably giving their all. It’s a short and high risk career, I don’t really blame them for grabbing it while it’s there.

Was it not the Wilcox thing, is that not why he recruited Martin and was the quoted as saying that was the way he wanted Man Utd to play?

“possession possession possession” was the mantra then.

I don’t mind Carragher, but get over it!

I just don’t think SR will ever appoint a “my way or the highway” type manager. They want a coach that will do what he’s told by Spors and potentially Rasmus still has something to say, either way it’s the SR way. So we have to employ a malleable “coach” who’s grateful to have a relatively big job. We are now in a situation where Still, Spors and Rasmus are all football “theorists”, who have never played the professional game. We can’t be surprised that we find ourselves in the situation we are. I don’t care if Still stays or goes, the “coach” is only one part of the problem.

I remember a snowy Friday night, just before Christmas, Micky Channon scoring and winning 1-0. The police went a bit wild with dogs and horses afterwards. Brilliant night. That was the last time I went there. I’m going Tuesday, so all we need our current version on Micky Channon, to get us the points.

So what?

See you Tuesday then.
