It's a pity that we have not heard from the ref or the lino after the game, the least they could do (and as a matter of courtesy!) is to explain why they made the mistake and apologise ! Am not holding my breath, mind, grrr...

I am genuinely not worried about next season ! There may well be changes but I feel that there is a solid infrastructure and good people in key areas of the club ! Smart people think positively and those who anticipate failure tend to find it ! No reason to believe that we can't keep moving forward although,as we are getting so close to the summit, obviously further advancement is more difficult ! COYS

4-1 flattered City and we'll never know just how much the (clearly!) offside second goal impacted upon the result ! Schneiderlin was immense IMO and was ably assisted by Cork and JWP, Rickie and Adam good in first half but everything fell a bit flat in the second ! Expectations were zero beforehand but the least you expect from the officials is that they get the easy decisions right !

Surely even Guly is worth more than the plucky, potless, pikey reptiles

And a one man party ! Although he was quite impressive last night, even more so as Clegg was an embarrassment, reminding me of Red Ed responding to the budget speech with empty rhetoric and the politics of envy ! Come on Nigel, join the Tories, you know that you want to really

Yeah, that's him, he's interviewing the chairman who declared at the time of the PST takeover that they were 'debt free' ! A bit like Jackanory really, I suppose ?

They seem p!ssed off that we allowed York to train at Staplewood (allegedly?) so maybe they could get Newcastle to train at their place this week, just for revenge, eh :)

At last a solid thread about football matters, some good objective posts here !

We had a ginger tom called Gizmo who was smart until his last breath at 18 years old ! There were no two bits of him hanging the right way and in the end and my wife took him to the vet to be put down ! As the young trainee vet approached him with a needle, he launched himself at her throat, drawing blood and scratching her badly. He clearly knew what she was up to so it must have been a good lesson for her early in her carreer ! I must say that I was impressed by his spirit !

IMO the way it has worked out has always been the best option (for us!) ie. 'death by a thousand cuts' and non stop hilarity ! I wouldn't have missed the last couple of years for all the fat in their pipes

More's the pity that the FL didn't have the balls to impose the deserved 10 point penalty which every other team in history had ! They would almost be dead by now if true justice had been served, the DFCSB's !

FT : Skates 0-1 York Ooh eck

I have been in the safe standing area in Dortmund and it was a great experience ! Personally I prefer being a 'Kingsland Codger' but if I were to stand I'd rather it was not like these days where you are up and down like a yoyo with some stroppy steward marching up and down the aisles telling you to sit !

The Milliband response was classic 'politics of envy', pure negativity and pathetic name calling ! He is supposed to analyse the statement and offer credible alternatives but instead prattled on about Eton chums and millionaires ! It really was as embarrassing as it was unstatesmanlike IMHO !

The whole FIFA organisation stinks ! The guy at the top should do the honourable thing and retire now !

I guess that would have to be the world's bestest imaginary celebration, yet another accolade to award themselves

As most have already said, he was a man of passion and conviction but realistically he never actually achieved anything because few people ever took him seriously ! Obviously the Tories mocked his views, but his own party often had issues with him as well ! Basically he was a loon who could be quite amusing but although I didn't agree with his politics I did respect him much more than the 'mealy mouthed hypocites' that Dubai_Phil referred to ! RIP TB

Having watched the interview with our new chairman, I reflected upon the introduction of his counterpart at 'Potless Pompey' (tieless, lounging backwards behind a crumpled tablecloth whilst boasting that he got his manager on the cheap!) and thought how nice it was to be a Saints fan ! An impressive start and I look forward with anticipation of an interesting future ! COYS

TBF, an Italian international striker for £2mil does not sound bad to me as long as he is not a nutcase who headbutts his team mates !! TB (equally) F, I've never heard of the geezer !

Can't believe that some are complaining about the way we won today, are these the same people who moan about us dominating matches but not being clinical ? Please everyone, just be happy, we won so celebrate !!

Seems that the revolutionary 'pack the park' concept has worked wonders yet again ! The plucky twelfth man helped them raise their game to achieve a glorious, goalless draw against the mighty Cheltenham !

great away win, on away form alone we are 6th in the table on same points as Liverpool and above Man City !

The phrase " be careful what you wish for " springs immediately to mind when I read threads like this one ! Only a prat like Glasgow_Skate would isolate 18 matches and attempt to justify his baseless agenda like this ! Best just to treat him with the contempt he deserves !

The way I've just read that, you have completely contradicted yourself !

Are we allowed to blame Clatto or was it purely down to the Lino ?
