Stu Man Do

I wonder if the coaching staff have thought about this revolutionary change? Thats exceptional Glasgow! Pardews team talk on sat; "Right lads I've decided how we sort our season out ... you'll like this idea I nicked it off the SWF ...We should ... wait for it ... win more games!!" ;-)

As far as I understand it LS The EPL and FA are duty bound to ensure that debts to other clubs are settled first its up to the courts and tax man to get their money back.

In responce to the question ... asset looked alot less likely to score once he had gone off. His pace alone creates opportunities and pressure that a Barnard wouldn't make. Not the finished article but certainly good enough for us at the moment. I look at the fact he is offside far less now than 3 months ago and all you can ask of young players are that they show improvements whilst doing a job which he clearly does.

-8 GOAL DIFFERENCE and -10 points are two vastly different situations. Realistically the playoffs this season whilst rebuilding the entire first team and in fact the club itself where never really on the cards. Some good form got us close at one point but based on our recent history this is still an extremely good season.

Late goals are a ***** but thats part of football, unfortunate as that is what exactly do you expect Pardew to do about that? I'm pretty certain a generic fitness or improve concentration won't cover this.

I'm pretty sure the layoff for the first goal was from Waigo who held the ball just long enough to turn it round the corner to Lambert who never looked like missing.

Chill out Alps old son, if you can't take some happiness from our biggest rivals getting a spanking at OT whilst we're having an off day then when can you? We're having another off day from the sounds of things, it happens, probably more deluded to think we had to win todays game to stay in the playoff hunt, that went a few games ago realistically. Just be happy we have a huge cup game next weekend and a chance of a wembley final on tuesday night what were you expecting this year? Championships and 100% records? =]

Agreed, Jaidi to my mind offers more than Seabourne who should really just be learning his stuff from him and Perry this season. Id prefer to see Harding at left back as I just think he offers a bit more experience going forward. Did Mills and Holmes link up anywhere near as much as Harding does? and before anyone asks no I dont think Mills is "crap" :-D Otsemebor as well IMO just isn't anything different to LJ. He has a bit of pace but from what Ive seen so far is rarely used and for a full back he is to happy to shadow an attacker rather than getting stuck in or even attempting to put a foot in the way, needs to man up abit! Barnard as others have said seems very similar to Lambert and so Im not sure he's they are the best two to partner up front. Lambert has looked best this season when he has been up front with a "clever" player like Lallana or a little quick like Waigo or Connolly. Probably down to the pace of these two which moves the center backs about and lets Lambert find that space that he can be so deadly in. In short the game yesterday can be summed up easily ... COLD!

Wouldn't that put him off? ;-)

Think I can put this one to bed ... Just seen him coming out of the stadium after the game and getting his tickets for another game so think he's ok!

You have to wonder why Waigo cant get a game at the moment when it clearly sounds like were struggling to get the ball out of our own half!

Bear in mind Lansbury (who Wilshire is rated better than) is doing a top job at Watford this season after only 16 appearance last year on loan at Scunny. If Wilshire really is the next big thing we could do worse than loaning him ... not that I think we have a hope in hells chance of this going through! As for Stock not overly sure along with the rest of you if this rumour actually has any legs!

A better one would be Markus planting a SFC Flag in the center circle at Fratton after a 90th minute replay winner ala Souness! ... We can but wish I suppose!

You my friend are a legend =]

Anyone else disappointed for Waigo that he hasnt got a start considering his previous input to this cup run! Bart really deserved to keep his spot as well IMO. Bit worried with that team really I suspect our midfield to struggle a bit and Mills will probably get a bit of a roasting so hope he can come through this ok!

Nope I want us to win :-) Carlisle if we get there please!! The atmosphere is what you make it and if we win who cares!

Not strictly a target for January but Chris Martin at Norwich is out of contract in the summer, 16 goals this season and according to Lambert is the best finisher at the club. Either a cheeky bid now or get him in for next season?

Really? Based on what? Beckfords a consistent scorer in this division Jackson after a decent start has not exactly set the world alight. Paying over a million for Jackson wouldnt be the most sensible bit of business IMO. We aren't badly off for strikers to my mind its the need for a RB and a more attacking central midfielder.

Koller perhaps? ;-) In all seriousness Id love to see us sign a more attacking central midfielder like hoolahan, Barnard at Sauuufend would also be good Im not sure I can see why we'd want Jackson from Gillingham, hardly setting the world alight there and at the prices quoted for him (1.5-2m) defo no thanks! Right back and a center back would also cheer me up thanks ML =]

I think you have to put those results into context to get any real meaning out of them thought mate; Norwich - Clearly a very good team in this division not many teams have beaten them this season Charlton - At the time top of the division and we were teh first team to take a point off of them at the Valley Huddersfield - Different squad different time same as with Swindon, may as well have been a different season Colchester - New manager effect, just look what happened with Brighton Leeds- Top of the division lost no games at home this season and we just about lost 1-0! Overall sounded that really they bossed the game and probably deserved the points, a win against Exeter will get us back on track though. Sounded VERY lucky that Lambert stayed on but I'm willing to wait and see what someone who actually went thinks on that one!! Why is it the referees in this division seem to let more of that sort of thing go basically un-punished?! (As in yellow card rather than the mandatory Red for violent conduct!)

Hence the term ALLEGEDLY ;-)

I remember (if you're thinking of the same game as me) old Bagpuss allegedly made a deal with Fergie that if we put out a weakend team in the cup, they would put a weakend team out in the last league game ... That worked well ey!? As for this game to my mind, keep us winning = keeping a full strength team on the pitch. I appreciate the league is the priority but damn it I want us to win a trophy this year!!

Point 1 - How many players to your knowledge have taken part in penalty shoot outs in a world cup final in the last 20 years? I make it what? 11 maximum Point 2 - How many of them where English? Point 3- How many Recent TOP level English professionals have a better penalty taking strike rate than Le Tissier? We get it, You feel his so far as we can tell pretty much false confession of betting on a game ... was that match even actually on tv?!, makes him a bad bad man But as a saints fan you can only respect what the guy did for us and get off his back! All my questions are asked in sincerly so if you'd like to get back to me that would be ace cheers =]

Nice to see over the last 10 games we are only 2nd in the form table to Norwich. Also over the last 6 (away games only) we are top of the form table, bit different to our usual away form!

3-1 We only win 3-1 we only win 3-1
