By his own standards AL had a poor game last night ! Sh#t happens, give him a break !!

If there are a few Skates involved in stewarding now and again I suspect that they will hardly be diehard fans, as surely they would not want to mix with the enemy ! Unless that pr#ck Westwood turned up with only a yellow jacket over his normal fancy dress then personally I couldn't give a monkey's !!

My son lives in Belgium and he can do it too !

This whole discussion is extremely subjective and many people quote todays successful managers and seem to imagine that they are the ones to emulate ! Yes, Paul Lambert is the flavour of the month at the moment but only recently you could have said that about Phil Brown, Roy Hodgson has total respect at Fulham yet was vilified after a short period at Blackburn ! Burley was rated as good before coming to us and Strachan was rated as poor but the general concensus is that WGS did much better ! IMHO the only real test of a manager's ability is to judge over a period of years, not weeks or months and this certainly applies in the case of Pardew as he had to start from ground zero !!

Pericard ?

A lot depends on how settled Pardew is/becomes down here : 1) Where does he live ? 2) Does he have kids at school ? c) Is his wife happy here ? These are issues which can influence decisions in addition to career considerations ! (Kelvin Davis is a good example of this!)

A few years ago, when we were in the Prem I asked this question and was informed that they did not intend to give access to the seating system as a matter of policy ! The reason given was that people would keep space around them, meaning that block bookings would not be possible ! Personally, I don't accept this theory but that is what I was told at the time ! Airlines and cinemas seem to manage so I don't see why a football match should be different ! Let's see what happens after the new survey though ??

Who is the 'he' ???

I may be in a minority but I much prefer the 19.00 KO time ! The return journey on the Redjet is much more convenient for Islanders and I would alos have thought that those who work in the city and live outside would be happy too ???

If Rovers and City were to merge, would there then be 'a pair of Bristols' ??

Ditto, I told them that and also that there are often problems logging in ! Hopefully if enough people say the same thing then we may progress somewhat !

It does say that on the 'latest news' section but if you look at the fixtures list is says 7.45pm - a bit amateurish, it has to be said !!

I'm sure that DL have the momentum to win the league this year but I am much more concerned about the JPT trophy should we meet them in the final (???). Anyway there is a lot of water yet to flow under the bridge so let's see how it pans out between now and the 28th March !!

Players out 'chilling' FFS !!!! Sack the ****ers!!! what the **** is AP doing letting them out FFS, drink culture FFS PARDEW OUT FFS !!!!

At that time the club was being run by Mark Fry so surely he is the person to direct the question to ???

Couldn't resist it, let's face it you did set yourself up !

So Glasgow Saint likes cox, why am I not surprised ???

I am looking forward to sitting in the Itchen stand for the first time. I will be directly opposite my ST seat in the Kingsland and frankly don't give a monkey's if someone else is sitting in it (not that my eyesight is good enough to see it anyway!). I intend to enjoy the game in the usual way and really don't see what the big fuss is all about !

I agree, they got an award for doing such a great (???) job but so far have neither mentioned this money nor have given sufficient information to SLH shareholders as to where they stand regarding losses ! All IMHO of course !

Sorry, c*cked up the last one ! http://www.chavtowns.co.uk/2005/10/portsmouth-the-jewel-in-the-crown-of-the-southern-chav-coast/

Such a nice place, such nice people, sad, eh ?? Please read next post !

Thanks Bletch for answering my original question ! I seriously did not intend this as a 'love/hate' Rupert issue, although I am not naive enough to think that the thread would have developed otherwise !

Could not have put it better myself !

Takes one to know one, eh !
