Sounds like we have the quality, they are diving in left, right and centre on a greasy pitch, dirty gits ! Lallana has missed an easy chance but we have an early goal ! Let's hope we kill them off soon !

That really wasn't the question posed on the original thread though, was it ? The strong implication was that our 'relegation rivals' had already ditched their managers and that we should consider that Pardew has until Xmas otherwise he will be out ! The premise that changing the boss early on makes a positive statement is nonsense IMHO, I predict that both Tranny and Wycombe will struggle whoever takes over and that we will prosper through strength of character and stability !!!!

And so speaketh the village idiot ! Ps, GS, you are as bad as OBS !!

My Mont Blanc has never let me down !

I have never seen Ant Pulis play ! I think Ant Pulis is crap ! I wish Ant Pulis well !

Whether it is Ant Pulis or Dec Pulis, I guess it won't make a lot of difference to us ! Fair do's to Pardew for finding him a home and I hope that he eventually makes the grade there, cos he certainly won't here ! Good luck to the lad !

Or even league 1 for that matter !!

Accidentally flicked off the saints player at 3-2 on pens, can you believe that !! Bloody fool !!

2-1 waigo

1-1

1-0, Lambert

Bloody lottery now !

Sounds like we are missing Trotski and Jaidi big time !

Looks like 4-4-2 is the best option then ??

I have a question for those who think that 10 games is enough time to be successful and not be sacked for lack of results : When you appoint a quality new manager to replace the outgoing one, what length of contract would you offer him ???

Simples it is not ! Take Hammond as an example last night - he worked like a Trojan, he had a good game, he was no doubt battered and bruised at the end of it ! Yes, we lost the match but what does he have to apologise for ? The only realistic response to that defeat is to roll up your sleeves, bond with your mates and get on with it and that is pretty much what he said ! Pray tell me what you would have said in his position ?????

Then their only option is to say nothing and only comment when we win ! What's the betting that they'd get slagged off for that too ??

He should have used his nozzle !!

I think it's probably best that you don't visit the OS then because it's highly unlikely that they'll say " things can only get worse because we are pretty sh#t and can't really be arsed " ! In any unit you have to believe and to get others to join with you. Nobody ever achieved anything through negativity !

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1812494,00.html See 46th Min - Lambert. Also on Solent last night after the game they said that the ref had confirmed it !

Disagree, it was right in front of me and you could clearly see Hammond's shirt was almost ripped off his back !

Just for the record, he did not score a goal !The ball had clearly crossed the line from where I was sitting in the Kingsland and(more importantly) the ref confirmed after the game that he awarded the goal before Papa tapped it in !!! Ps. IMO he showed potential and a few glimpses of possible class, but still too early to assess properly !

I agree with you Chris, the negative aftermath of a defeat, particularly after being ahead twice and losing to an injury time winner is understandable ! In the wider context I refuse to believe that we will be relegated, as this squad of players will pull us through even if only by a limited margin ! A five year plan, constructed by intelligent people, will not be destroyed after 2 months because of knee jerk and emotive reactions in the wake of disappointing results ! It is hard for all of us to endure this ongoing period of frustration but there is no other way at this moment in time, sacking the manager would take us right back to square one, so what is the point ???

There is a very fine line between success and failure in any game these days ! In the 94th min we had a strong penalty claim denied (against Hammond) and 30 secs later we are 3-2 down and the game is lost ! Schneiderlin and lallana both had excellent chances to put us 2 goals up at one stage in the 2nd half but both were scorned ! After the match on this forum there are 5 different threads about the manager, his performance and his future ! I realise that today's culture is all about immediate results but I cannot abide opinions which castigate one man to the exclusion of all else ! From what I can see he is working hard, with solid principles and pretty good judgement, sure, time will tell if he can achieve success but all this overkill after 10 games is a joke ! All IMHO of course.
