That's one on the right, one on the left, and one .............. ???

It may be if you know your way around, but the last time I went by car was a bleeding nightmare, eventually parked in a dodgy street miles away and was lucky to find it on the way back ! Ps. and we lost as usual !

Agreed, I just wish they would turn their attentions back to the thieving politicians who are (supposedly) running the bl**dy country ! If the old bill decide to waste taxpayers money on scrutinising an incident 14 years ago which was confessed, admitted to and apologised for then I, for one, will be exceedingly p!ssed off ! Instead they should try and catch the b@stard who nicked my Mountfield mower from the garden shed last month for a start, grrrr.....

For the non intellectuals amongst us, this is a reference to the Rodney/Cassandra wedding scene when Marlene (upon hearing the words "do you Rodney Charlton Trotter take this woman etc....) exclaimed 'Charlton' is that after Charlton Heston ? The response was "nah love, 'Charlton Athletic' !!! HTH

"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" ! John 8:7

Well p!ssed off for this one ! My mate's best mate is a director at Charlton and I have been in the director's box there a few times when we have played, but at the moment he is in Asia, so no chance to go ! I was hoping to meet Markie, Nic & Oldie but it looks like I'll have to live with my memories of a duck chasing, rosy cheeked, arrogant git who I met on previous occasions !! Life really can be a schweinhund at times, grrrrrr.....

As I have explained here before (please try and keep up!) these guys prefer to be incognito, so all you have to do is spot the old guy with the cloth cap lurking on the sidelines ! HTH

Cos you support the Saints, that's why !!!

Paranoia is the norm on here I would suggest, so no need to consult a shrink at this stage !!

The remains of a former football club chairman have been found in a bunker in the Southampton suburb of Shirley ! Police have refused to name the individual until his one and only sympathiser identifies the body ! Oh dear, how sad, never mind

Credit where it's due Wes, he did it well !!

I think that Genks' point was that unity is inspired through confidence and that confidence will improve after our first win ! I think it's fair to say that you can't buy unity, but should you win a few games straight off then it's a different ball game ! (sorry, this is getting a bit fuzzy but hopefully you get my drift ??)

The king is dead, long live the king !!!

I don't really see your point ? Are you saying that when we get a bit of confidence we will become like Man City and be unbeaten in the league ????

I think it's important to look at each club situation in isolation. Whatever team performance problems Charlton and Norwich had were not exacerbated by severe boardroom discord and subsequent administration, leading to the edge of oblivion ! SFC has had to rebuild from scratch, it has had to reassure employees who were paid late for 2 months and feared for their jobs, it has totally revamped the coaching and scouting structure as well as the management and the players ! Sure , a lot of teams have had upheaval but ours has been exceptional from top to bottom and (without making excuses for poor results) IMHO what has been achieved in 2 short months has been nothing short of remarkable ! In all leagues you can compare one team to another but individual circumstances tend to impact in different ways, perhaps we will slump to a lower trough and then hit a higher peak, who knows ? Only time will tell, but in terms of sensible, rational planning and recruitment I consider that they are doing a great job ! The next step (clearly) is to put all the pieces together and create a winning mentality, thus ensuring that ability and motivation go hand in hand ! I can see it coming, I really can !!

Don't know if it's a relevant comparison but in league 2 (4th div) Sol Campbell is on £2mil per year for 5 years = £10mil which is roughly double what you just quoted for our whole team ! I have to say that I'm pleased we got the sensible businessman and they didn't !!!

I said that on another thread already, but it's good to see that others have noticed it as well ! If he turns out as good as Anders I will be very happy ! (Don't think he's got much chance of 1 England cap though, let alone 100) !

You've got a sh#t boss, mate ! Ask him if he's ever considered encouragement, motivation, cajoling, training, etc.. as his man management skills are clearly lacking ! If I were you I'd get a new job !

You just hit the hammer directly on the nail !!

Thread title : "Only one person to blame - Pardew" ! I realise that a 'blame culture' exists in this country today, but is it really necessary to always react in this way ? Surely a 'support culture' would reap more benefits ? Within the last 2 months the club has been turned upside down and inside out, therefore everyone should be pulling together to get things right ! If AP were to read this thread, do you really think that he would be motivated by it ? Surely we want him to feel good, not depressed ! Maybe I should start another thread with the title : "One person badly needs our support - Pardew" !

As they went before ML took over, this income would undoubtedly have paid the existing bills and partly the creditors ! Any deals since then have (apart from rasiak) been incoming, so I feel sure that he has footed the total bill !
