Given the big build up at the start of the season about this ' continental style, revolutionary, all inclusive new system' it strikes me that we have a manager (Poortvliet), a reserve team manager (Wotte) and the other two (Henderson and Hockaday) looking after the youth side ! It strikes me that this structure is about the same as most other teams and means that it was all just spin to make us feel good and buy season tickets etc.. ? 'Total football' was also touted but now just seems to be a mixture of playing people out of position or running around without any clear direction ! Excuse me for being cynical but when I look back a few months and consider the bold optimism on offer I am beginning to feel a bit disappointed to say the least ! I feel sure that the players and coaching staff are doing their best but perhaps the hype was just too much for them ??

Does he mean - "what's the difference between a lady in the bath and a holy nun?" One has hope in her soul and the other has soap..... you get the drift, no?

Too effing right ! I reckon I have just unearthed a can of very smelly worms !!

He sounds more like an FC to me !

If you Google your user ID you are likely to access your Saintsweb profile and then some other weird stuff which can be interesting ! I put in Eurosaint and got : http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=PROJ_IST&ACTION=D&DOC=1&CAT=PROJ&QUERY=1191932692304&RCN=80562 Some people may think that I am a boffin but considering the fact that I could bump into a 'nanoelectronic' in the street and not realise it, maybe not! Try it and see, then let us all know the weird ones !!

The BBC report says that Boyd reacted to GB's critical remarks of him on telly AFTER the match ! I can't understand why it is necessary for the manager to be negative about someone who did not actually play and this is why I question Burley's man management skills ! Ps. I also think that Boyd is an @rse for refusing to play for his country in future but as this is a Saints forum my only point was about Burley !

I think that my facts are better than yours ! a) Maloney is right sided and playing on the left (that's what I said!). b) If playing one up front was changed at h/t then surely it was wrong in the first place ! c) If Boyd was DUE to be dropped why the hell pick him in the first place ! d) Please re-read the BBC article and you'll find that Boyd reacted to GB's comments on TV, not the other way round, there is no mention that Boyd said anything prior to this !! Anyway, it's all history as far as Saints are concerned but I could detect similar weaknesses to his time down here, that's all !

Just making SFC related comment on a football forum ! I assume that you also object to the threads re. Redknapp and Hoddle on the same page ??

Our former manager seems to be repeating some of his strange behaviour in his new job: a) Played a right sider on the left wing ! b) Played one up front in a 'must win' home game! c) Played his most creative player as lone striker with his back permanently to the play! d) Took off his best player (having played out of position) after 65mins ! e) Has now upset a striker with negative comments behind his back, causing him to walk out!

Do you snort or inject ??

The £30mil debt on top of that might just be a teeny little problem !

Not just you Ringo, I thought that he started very slowly and (just in front of where I sit in the Kingsland) he was skinned alive by Croft. TBF he did improve later just as he did against Barnsley ! Don't agree about James though, he was good last night IMHO !

The foul for the pen was right in front of me and was deffo in the box ! Lallana was clever in that he swerved into the Skate as he went past him so I would say that, although it was a bit soft, it was the correct decision ! I have no idea why the red card came out but presume that it was something he said ! (he no doubt picked up a few choice words from his time in Skatesville, so we can hardly be shocked about it !!).

Or John Terry.

I have no real idea how he did because I only heard it on the radio but (as long as he wasn't too cr@p) I would keep him in and persist with the partnership with Wotton otherwise we will get back to the chopping and changing every game which cannot be good in the longer term !

That is tantamount to an admission of being the Skate that we always suspected !

I am sure that we are all delighted to get a good away win under our belts ! Scooby, many thanks for your pathetic little attempt at humour/wind-up ! It brings an added smile to my face on this sunny Saturday afternoon ! Ps. Once a w@nker, always a w@nker !!

On the bright side - undefeated in last 3 league games ! On the other hand - must start winning at home ! For all the doom and gloom we are out of the relegation places! Let's keep some perspective and hope for the best !

Only compare or aspire to the best, never cheap imitations ! Ps. I meant youngsters on this board not the nippers in our team (maybe they should take a look as well evn if it's almost 50 years ago !).

I managed 133 replies on a very simple thread ! I reckon that I should try another similar one soon ! Watch this space !

I reckon I will, don't ask me why, I just will !!
