Fan The Flames

He seems to be a good Championship CB that struggles with the step up to the prem, sounds familiar.

I bet that if someone could be bothered to trawl through your posts they would find you saying that we were not as good as West Ham last season and the only reason we finished above them was because they blew it with a series of home draws in march and the bristol city away loss. Imo they were poor against us at home last year and we were lucky away as they had someone sent off.

You don't think he is good enough but have included him in your team.

So the law allows the Society of Black Lawyers to complain when one black rapper calls another black rapper a ******, if they wanted to.

You cant blame him for jumping out of the loony bin at the first opportunity, seems like a decent bloke, this will be a proper measure of him.

Hoddle since failing at Wolves 6 years ago has been coaching non league players at a football holiday camp in Spain. Few to date have got back into regular league football.

Do you really have to persist in this manner of posting it is really tiresome, add something constructive to the debate. Regards relagation, some teams get away with it and come straight back up for others it's the start of a decline. Who knows what will happen to us?

The only fact that was relevant was that he wasn't sacked, this would have been consistant with the text for all the other managers in your piece. You don't mention Ball leaving because he felt under valued, Strachan annoucing he was leaving half way through the season. These are relevant if you think the Jones stuff is, but just like a real journalist you cant resist the selacious, lack of respect imho.

Glory Hunter, you travel to the next county to watch the big boys of Crawley when you could stay at home and go to the New Defence.

What was being discussed was his first 9 games, so the reason for his departure wasn't relevant. He was falsly accused by a couple of scum bags and so should be treated with complete disdain. As a Saints fan writing the piece the text either shouldnt have mention it or be far more sympathetic than he was, shame he cant be allow to forget it even amongst friends.

Nice collection of stats - shame you had to mention Jones court case, I would have thought a Saints fan site would allow him to be disassociated from the terrible false allegations made against him.

If Shearer did go for the job, which I doubt, he would have lost out to a guy who was a failure in Norwegian football management.

Do you make it your lifes goal to misinterpret every OP. On another matter you are always calling for change, when have you ever held your nerve.

War, famine, littering, murder, child abuse and McDonalds, I've simply eaten too many of them recently.

I don't think we will go down but if we did it wouldn't be the end of the world. We haven't got the 27 years to defend anymore.

The tide of ex-Pompey fans coming to SM is starting to happen, I see.

Im wondering what people expect, hes mentioned the difficult position we are in but hasnt stated a blow by blow account of how he will resolve it and nor should he.

The same thing happens the other way around. Everybody is far to aggressive on here, occassionally a good thread breaks out and it makes good reading, but generally its one set of posters ridiculing another set.

NO , NO , NO ! Have you not been paying attention this form of sarcastic posting where you state something that you claim is the percieved wisdom of the masses less intelligent than you, where the reality is no one is saying that at all, is sooo last summer. Turkish and his fans have done it to death. Please find a more original style of posting.

Says the person with two people in goal, you're only allowed one fella.

I would start with Rodríguez and Lambert. For our goal at West Ham you could see the determination on Rodríguez face, he is disparate to prove all the knockers wrong. I think the two would work well together, don't know why NA hasn't tried it.

Strachan would be a backwards step. Never liked the way he left, never liked everyone calling him WGS.

So we all love Jose again and now hate Jos.

Fonte lacked composure at the beginning of the season, for what ever reason. But he has regained a lot of it now, his play is more assur. He still put his foot through the ball a couple of times on Sunday when he could have controlled it but he is much improved. Good on him.

There is obviously something going on at SFC, the attendances are down from our last prem stint. I looked at the average attendances for the prem teams this season and last and they are all quite stable, so there is not a countrywide phenomenon. What is happening? Ticket prices, bad product, lost the causal attendee, bad feeling towards the club, ease of watching it on TV. I heard that Nicola (Tony) Cortese thought the empty seat chant was actually the Saints fans singing “NTC my Lord NTC,…” Anyway to be embarrassed by empty seats is a little bit pathetic and to be embarrassed by a club that average 5k less than us every game this season and have a neutrals area to help fill the ground is worse.
