(Unsurprisingly) most of the idiots on here do not appreciate that fact (I use the word fact, as it is statistically proven) ! He is a class player, no Messi for sure, but he would be immensely difficult for us to replace without spending a fortune ! All IMHO, of course !

Looks like I'm the only one to be disappointed that it's not Reading ! 2 of my kids were born there (lived in Wokingham at the time !) and a couple of good mates will be devastated, which is sad ! Hey ho, let's just stuff Huddersfield instead

Be ready to be quoted on that statement next time we play well and lose ! It's a bit like saying about many teams in the past "they were too good to go down" but they did ! I'm afraid that results over quality is the mantra of the day and bosses like Mourinho play it to perfection (his Man U side is one of the most boring for years yet they have won 2 trophies and qualified for the CL). Clearly the ideal situation is to play well and achieve a high league position but if you had to choose between one and the other surely you'd go for the placing ??

Skinhead ??

8th !

TBF, Wigan is a bit like Beverley Hills compared to Skatesville ! Who can question the lifestyle decision of a sophisticated 'man about town' like Cookie, eh ? :)

If we ever finish 13th (or thereabouts) there would be outrage (mainly by the 'usual suspects') about how it is a 'results game' and lower than we have been used to ! I can live with either but as already been said, they are not mutually exclusive !

So the whole shebang has been sold for £5.67mil which is roughly what we'd get for Matt Targett ! Not that I'm gloating, you understand:)

Let's all accept that you know best ! So Puel goes, who exactly do you suggest replaces him, how long a contract would you offer and are you prepared to back him ? It's incredibly easy to disparage the efforts of management at all levels within SFC but if you were in charge, pray tell us (in advance) precisely what should be done ??

First bid to come along and they took it ! Principles, eh

For me, the guy who did more to motivate and push us on was Yoshida ! Made no mistakes at all today and was really up for it ! MoM in my book !

Stay ! Has many limitations but still our most creative player !

Always look on the bright side, eh ? You must enjoy supporting the Saints !

Contradiction alert !!

If you are `Lord Trousers' shouldn't she be 'Lady Skirt' ? Just asking. like

May I politely point out that these are not FACTS, they are your opinions ! FWIW I agree with 2 of them but disagree that we sat deep, yes we are guilty of sideways and backwards passing a lot of the time but both full backs and centre backs generally held a high line and made many attacking forages last night !

You couldn't make it up, eh ?

Was directly down in front of me (in the Kingsland) and I was very impressed with his short cameo, good touch, pace and positioning! Probably doesn't have the flair of Cedric but I reckon that he will be a very reliable squad player !

There is definitely a negative bandwagon developing here ! I thoughtwe did ok tonight on a very wet pitch against some top players (forget the reserves bit, they were all expensive internationals). 17 shots with 6 on target, good saves from their keeper too ! Seen a lot worse in my day !

They would need to re-take Scotland where they used to have 40+ seats. If that doesn't happen then even a revamped model will struggle to make any inroads !

Post #139

We are playing Man Utd - we will not be given a penalty !

Out of interest would you take 2nd over 1st as long as you got a better points total than before ?? Weird logic IMO !

What a depressing thread ! We moved up to 8th place last night and the knives are out ! So if Puel is sacked, we get another new manager and the whole process starts again. Let's have a sweepstake on who is the first to say "I'll give him another 3 games" or "He'll be gone by Christmas" ! It's already been said many times "be careful what you wish for" !

Put another way : 8th is 8th ! 7 teams above you ! 12 teams below you !
