No Alpine. Do not ruin the validity of your arguments by dismissing everybody elses opinion because they are "happy clappers who follow Pardew blindly". If ANYBODY is blindly forming an opinion it is you, who has not actually seen the progress we have made.

It's called belief. Something you seem to have NEVER had.

The assists for Puncheon listed include the ones he got for Dons as well.

Just checked, he's 21.

He has 5 assists this season - 2 less than Snodgrass.

Am I the only person who thinks he was joking?

Isn't he 20? I can think of only a few people in the history of the game who were complete players by that age. And none of them were playing in the third tier of English football.

Ineffective positions? I thought he had two great chances to score today, but it was his finishing that let him down...

Brilliant. Lose one game after going unbeaten for just over 2 months using 4-4-2 and all of a sudden we must play 4-5-1.

I don't know, can't remember when it was. But I know he hasn't got any assists or goals in the 5 appearances he's made.

Every Norwich fan expected them to beat us a couple of weeks ago. And 90% of Saints fans. So we weren't good then? Something just went wrong/didn't happen at their end.

Well AFAIK we tried that for 4-5 games with Lee Holmes, where he got a grand total of 0 goals and 0 assists before getting injured - again.

RE Theo, United were the only top 4 club not interested in him. RE Lallana, you think he has no footballing brain?

This is the most important point for me. The other teams in this league aren't here just to make up the Southampton fixture list.

Still don't follow :confused: We were talking about Lallana, weren't we? Not the quality of our defence...

Are you suggesting that defenders are better in League One than in the CCC?

Yes, because if we're dropped Lallana, Puncheon and Morgan for this game we definitely wouldn't have lost.

I'm sorry, i'm a little confused - is WC trying to have a dig at Rickie Lambert with this post?????

Really? :confused:

Well i'm sure you will be more than happy to say "I was wrong" when we don't let those three players go.

Be fair Delldays, until january we didn't even have a first team that we were happy with.

As I said on the other thread, if Pardew is fired without being given a chance next season it shows impatience on Corteses part rather than inability to produce results on Pardew part.

Nevermind. I don't agree with those who say that the players signed expecting promotion. We should be fully focused on next season - and if Cortese fires Pardew before next season, it is due to his impatience rather than Pardews inability to produce results.

Of all the things you could try and criticise the team for, this is the most ridiculous.

No good team has ever lost to Tranmere. Pardew out.
