Will be interesting to see how 'pretty football' will work on some of the ragged League 1 pitches....

Speaking personally....No

I think that may be more down to the fact that it's not conducive atmosphere for a nice post match pint. Make it a bit more enticing (better beer, bar stools, Chris de Burgh music piped seductively in the background) and people would be more inclined to stay after the game I reckon

Yeah, I agree....you get some right old tripe posted on here sometimes....

Of course, and without wishing to put a dampner on things, the more 'genius' like he gets the more likely it he will attract the attention of other (supposedly bigger) clubs. My message would be: "Get good at this football club running malarkey Nicola, but don't get TOO good quite so soon...!"

I must admit I was in the ambivalent camp regarding whether Pardew was staying or not.....indeed, part of me was a little excited by who our next manager might be as Cortese would have had to have aimed pretty high IMO to out trump Pardew's CV, but having read that article I actually feel a huge sense of relief that Pardew is staying. COYR!!!!

I'm a bit disappointed he didn't end his article with "COYR!" to be honest

"Just like watching Southampton"....has a nice ring to it.... :-)

Who are the Club's "executive committee"?

Didn't MacMenemy and Keegan in particular stick up for Pardew though? Not sure as I didn't read 'them' articles...

I can't imagine to which Saints Fans Forum he might be alluding/responding to there...?!

To those who have seen a copy, does this OS piece form the basis of what he wrote in the last matchday programme? Or has it been tweaked perhaps....?

Ouch....if only Nineteen Canteen was here to comment.... :-)

Couldn't they have taken a new photo of him? That's from September FFS.... ;-)

I'm still reading this morning that the bank of England are actively encouraging the new government to start cuts straight away. Am I missing something somewhere?

Do we know if these 'free flights' were originally offered as a supplement to their salary or have they always been offered as a potentially retractable perk?

The conservative logo is a nice touch though :-)

I've heard he's got a top drawer wave

Ah, cheers. Fairly official then :-)

They were giving a run out to a lad by the name of Skacel. He looked a bit tasty. I think we may well end up signing him. Might take a while to tie things up though

I saw Keegan in the Spurs car park

Looks good. Is that official or a mock up?

Ok, time to cut to the chase....Can someone please articulate, in a few succinct bullet points, what it is the union are asking for and not getting? Thanks

Only if it falls on Boxing Day

FFS :-)
