WHU natives are restless: That was ****ing terrible and the sooner we get rid of Big Fat ****, the better. He's the spawn of the devil with his **** football. Every time we come up against a top team, we lose. It's very worrying. Don't be fooled by Fat Sam's smoke and mirrors with a few good results here and there. You can grind you way to safety in the Premiership, but in the Championship, you need to attack your way out the division. The long ball is bread and butter to Championship defenders. Wake up Fat Sam, or **** off. Glad we got Nigel driving our bus!

First time for everything.

fantastic.. lol at all those forecasting a draw or a lose ..... where have you been the last 12 months? Nigel had Sam on the back foot from the off ..... he feckin owned him.... BIG TIME!

reading on saturday will be mental!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are top o' the league, we are top o' the league.

fukkinnnn get in thhheeerrrrrr

Stay on the front foot!

COYRs!

Big Sham playing route one? Surely shome mishtake?

Well if anyone does know either way about AL let's hope they have the good sense not to post it up here mid-afternoon. Was I the only one who was a little miffed to be reading that AL was out while making my way to the match at 13.55 on Saturday? Fair play to the guy that posted it up, obviously ITK and all that, but that and announcing the replacements too is a bit too much IMHO. Let's hope we are not sliding back towards a Puncheon/left back situation again? I think Warnock had something similar to say over the weekend about one of their 'fans' who posted up injuries and team changes on the Friday afternoon.

Never seen Saints on my b'day and never likely to either, Xmas day for me.

we've got 8 in row JJ - bring it on!

Chess match?

'Your old man loved a gottle of geer'.

only x days to go and you will be back in sunny ....... Coventry! Let he who is without the first stone ... etc,

double positive= pomski and forest continue to struggle double negative = scum and forest both do much better my money is on the first option. i quite fancied 'the number nine' to go to forest but seems he hasn't got his old man's cojanes (or he has more sense?)

I'm thinking, but I'm not getting it. A second FA cup replay on a neutral ground? Were Grimsby ever exiled elsewhere?

Always a good read that Barney Ronay. Really struggled for his first couple of seasons but the guardian stuck with him and now the lad does good every week. Read his football managers book if you get the chance, a very original and readable take on that topic. Back on message, haven't Cheksea been doing this for quite some time and prob in a smaller radius too? I agree with it, makes a lot of sense to cut down on excessive travelling from a R and R perspective.

For the listy amongst us, the clue's in the title. It must be a fairly short-ish list for most people? Teams you've seen away but you've never seen at home: Middlesborough Bristol City S****horpe Southend Harlepool Brentford Wimbledon Luton Stoke Edit, add Watford and Notts County too, hasn't it been great watching Saints home and away over the last couple of years? cue some 'Northern exile' type with a list of 40 teams.

Been to: Old Stoke Both Colchesters Both Arsenals (if Bruce Springsteen counts!) Old Brighton (Goldstone) Old Leicester Both Coventrys Both Wembleys Old Wolves (before they turned the pitch 90) Both Saints A lot of stadiums have also been transformed out of all recognition from their 'original' configurations which included standing terraces to all-seater so that even though they are in the same physical location they are effectively 'new', Chelsea being perhaps the biggest example. On that basis I would add Old Spurs, new Spurs Old Highbury, new Highbury ditto Chelsea ditto West Ham ditto Villa Park ditto West Brom ditto Wolves Palace when it used to be a massive terrace at the Holmesdale Rd end As for the OP, the main difference between the old grounds and the new is that you see far less wee on the floor these days.

I'm afraid we are straying into CMS territory here; good player but where would he play? I thought at the time we should have paid the fee and I don't think with hindsight we would have lost out if we had. He would have been awesome last year coming on in the last 20 minutes of games, and I'd like to think that after a settled 18 months on our bus he would now be a very good squad player at this level and probably worth what we paid for him. I don't think he would ever have been ahead of AOC, Gully or SDR in the pecking order therefore the squad position he would have taken would be Forte's, guess we weren't prepared to pay a decent fee for a squad player (though we do seem to have spent a relative fortune on left backs in recent years, funny old game football).

Redknapp is the last of his kind (possibly?), the manager as tyrant/friend/one-of-the-lads; an honest geezer (I ask you?) in a world of intrigue and paper bags, a sort of poor man's Brian Clough. Adkins stands as a cutting edge monument to all that is 'new': a lack of playing background, poncey qualifications, coming over all touchy feely with a dash of middle-management mumbo-jumbo (and a decent eye for a player and a system) - a sort of poor man's Arsene Wenger. I know who I prefer! Nigel for England (but not just yet please).

1,000 noes! HC-have-DAJFU, 5 years ago, note past tense.

Gotta be easier for us; we would just have to re-name them 'Frankie Bennett's'; always one step ahead of the sky blue few.

I didn't realise we were still in Lge 1?

On a slight tangent, I didn't notice any backboard-banging at the recent Birmingham game? Please tell me this is a permanent improvement around the back of Blocks 38-37-36, or I did I just get lucky on that day???
