Actually he was a CB for most of his career, he converted to CM when he came to us.

Don't be ridiculous. Bournemouth have sold 4k on their own. We've probably sold over 10k already.

Hmm, off to the GP for me.

Or Antonio...

If Cortese has someone better (and proven) lined up then I will not object. However, if he sacks Pardew and then replaces him with some random bloke from the continent I will be very worried. The biggest thing for me is how much the players are behind Pardew. If he is sacked we could well see a few key players getting unsettled all of a sudden.

Why in that case did he hire him?

We DID break them down though, we got past the defence to create the chances, they just didn't go in.

Butterfield got in Fontes way for the build up to the goal, had he not been there then Fonte would have beaten Fallon in the air easily as he had been all game long.

I bought one today, one piece of advice - check more thoroughly for spelling and grammar mistakes. A good read however.

Why FFS? The OP will know that he's had a poor thread, it doesn't need the likes of you booing him to tell him that. Get behind the high horse threads FFS.

Completely agree.

I'm only posting the way I saw things. I'm one of the most optimistic people on here, and still think we will go up, but that is the only reason I can explain the players lack of interest in the second half.

Bad sportsmanship to not even shake hands with your opponents though.

Even I have my criticisms of Pardew sometimes, but his transfer dealings since he's been with us have been superb. The only one I would possibly question was Mellis, and even he created a couple of goals for us.

I don't know, but I can't think of any other explanation for the players getting out so late, looking so demoralised after such a strong first half, and a couple of them leaving the pitch bang on the final whistle.

Personally I think he said something to the players at half time that royally p*ssed them off. They all came back out in the second half with their heads down looking like they didn't want to be there, and at the final whistle Butterfield and another player I couldn't recognise went straight down the tunnel without shaking hands with the opposition or anything.

I booed, and yet I still think we will go up. There was no excuse for that second half performance after looking so strong in the first.

Karl Pilkington in charge of a mediocre side? Good chance of it IMO. I might be wrong, but I think their form in the second half of the season would have seen them right down there if carried over the whole 46 games.

"four-horse race for the title between the Saints, Huddersfield, Peterborough and Sheffield Wednesday." With Notts County finishing 3rd. Eh?

And just imagine in 12 months time if they do go down again...

Where'd you get that from? Or just an estimate?

Memberships were stopped last season, if not the season before.

Just heard the contract was torn up by a raging Cortese after he found this thread.

I'd imagine there will be an announcement tomorrow.

Same.
