What a thoroughly depressing thread ! I think I'll pop over to Skatessuicidal.co.uk just to cheer myself up ! There was me happy after a 5-1 win as well ! Grrrr.....

I have a collection of around 2,000 programmes and have been to just about all of the games ! I stopped buying them for a while in (a pretty pitiful !) gesture against 'him of the rosy cheeks' but have started again ! I've got all the big games for Saints and also some iconic ones as well (Real Madrid-Eintracht 1960 and Man U -Benfica 1968 for example). I tend to buy Saints programmes nowadays out of habit, because there is almost nothing written that you can't find online so maybe I should pack it in, let's see !

What a load of patronising claptrap ! Because others choose not to criticise every dropped point does not mean that they have 'low expectations' ! Many are able to see the bigger picture and are sensible enough to be patient and allow the manager a reasonable period in which to settle and develop a strong squad ! Pardew has been here 8 months and 5 of the new signings have been here since January (your obsession with us having spent so much money suggests that you expect immediate impact from day one!). Please do not feel sorry for me as I am able decide on my own expectation levels !

It's just a pity that he is so provocative with the thread title and many of his responses ! As soon as he gets involved you can be sure that reasoned debate is out of the window ! All IMHO

The best way to judge people in the service industry is how they react to a problem situation ! In my experience whenever this has happened at the SFC ticket office, they have responded quickly and efficiently ! Credit where it is due, they do a great job !

Now that is a FACT !

Sounds very messy !!

I think that you have summed it up pretty well ! I will not be too disappointed if your scenario comes to pass ! Be nice to win the JPT for 2 consecutive years as well

Given that we are (inevitably) going to get injuries and the odd ban, this is a great situation to be in regarding direct positional replacements ! Can't remember this being the case for a very long time !

Whenever I have seen him in the past (for Norwich) I thought that he was a cracking little RB and exactly what we needed ! Not trying to be 'wise after the event' but I am not surprised that he is beginning to get good ratings !

Happy bunny tonight ! Saints win, Skates lose ! COYS

Amazed myself by getting into it in the first place and must say that it was pretty good ! The section re. Skates and Storrie was particularly interesting (perhaps because it reflected my own opinion!). Well done lads, I will listen again next time !

I would suggest that players who move from one club to another should be made to sit out one round ! This would eliminate the possibility of teams taking short term advantage of new signings in the cup but be more equitable over a longer period !

Pardew has been here for 8 months ! Pardew has a 3 year contract ! The owners have been here for 8 months ! The owners have a 5 year plan ! Together they have steadied the ship which was on the rocks ! Why is everyone talking about 'giving it 18 months' ? Now is the time for continuity and solidarity not criticism and threats ! FFS, Rome wasn't built in a day !

I wish you hadn't just said that !

YES !

It's gonna take weeks to get rid of the smell anyway !!

I'm coming from 'overseas' ! Hope Red Funnel are on time tomorrow !

NC - How did your club get into such an horrendous mess ? PS - It's f*ck all to do with me mate, I only work there !

Absolutely, the guy is full of sh#t !!

Perhaps you have already done it but I would make sure that you have the permission of SFC to use their logo on the website and also your statement that you are competing directly with officially sold garments could be controversial too ! Mr Cortese does not take prisoners on issues that he considers undesirable so be careful ! Ps. you may well have taken care of all this and if so, good luck with the venture !

That would be a big mistake IMHO as he ran them ragged and was MoM in the first leg ! Davis Thomas Fonte Jaidi Harding Antonio James Schneiderlin Lallana Lambert Waigo I'm assuming that Hammond and Connolly are still unfit !

My guess is that opinion was divided at Arsenal and that it will be here as well ! C'est la vie, one man's meat etc... FWIW I will buy one as a keepsake whereas I never buy nor wear any of the current kits !
