Where's 'Mister Neil', our resident Director's Box photographer, when you need him?

:confused:..

But if we're going to be head and shoulders above every team in the league it doesn't matter who we're playing. Indeed, there is a train of thought that Saints play better when raising their game against the supposedly better sides....

FFS Someone PM me a scanned on copy of the programme and I'll go through the adverts with a fine toothed comb. FFS

Car Park?

You don't have a scanner in the loft per chance?

Hmmm...Zola....Italian....more of a "yes-man" than Pardew... 2+2 anyone...? A straight swap might simplify the paperwork... ;-)

Something to do with Flybe or this season's caterers perhaps, given both are not having their contracts renewed?

Does anyone have a similar breakdown based on just votes in England?

Martin Samuel has another dig at Cortese in his column today: "Get rid of Pardew at your Peril" He says: "The clever money says that Pardew will go...and Cortese will appoint the yes-man coach that he wants, probably from abroad." Can't see Hughes being lined up if there is any truth in Samuel's hypothesis.

Ah, ok...my bad...

Why would the footballing manager (Pardew) order a recall due to an advertising dispute? Wouldn't that be the job of head of marketting or such like? And if markus's absence is so inoccuous a reason, why not mention it briefly in the post match os report? Dunno

I can't believe there isn't one person in SWF land who hadn't seen or got a copy and can't repeat here what might have caused the need for a recall. If we have agents on the ground who know when we're about to buy an oil rig surely we have someone on this case...?

So, thanks to Solent for clearing that one up then....

Why...?

How can them not arriving from the printers be the 'most likely' explanation if it appears some were sold early doors?

Who?

He's finnished....

And he can't locate Torquay Saint's mate who is still looking for his scanner in his loft? If someone has a programme then scan it in and post it. FFS....

I'm still surprised that people feel they can answer the question posed categorically without knowing what the alternative(s) may or may not be. If the question was: cortese has lined up Kevin Keegan, do you want Pardew to stay? My answer would be "no" If the question was: cortese has lined up an average run of the mill manager , do you want Pardew to stay? My answer would be "yes" Ask yourself the same two questions (replacing "kevin keegan" with a manager of your choice whom you believe would be a better option than Pardew) and see if you get the same answer.

Cheers for the thoughts Weston. One 'unknown' you missed (I think) is the mystery late withdrawal of the matchday programme. Any insight on that?

So, in other words, a quick footnote on the OS match report saying that Markus was stranded in Geneva (or wherever) would have saved a whole lot of speculation?

Let's have a coalition between Pardew, Hughes and Keegan. It's what the country would want in this brave new age...

Will there be a press conference at 2pm on Friday for old time's sake?
