You can only beat what's put in front of you.

I think your right there Polaroid. Violence has always been around football just because it has been sanitised in the Prem (yeah right) it doesn't mean that its gone away. IMHO it never will.

Thats the way I see it WS.

From todays Echo http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4585840.Coppell_not_lined_up_as_sporting_director/

Any football game in the early 80's. Although the scousers (along with Spuds) were notorious for using Stanley!

A creative MF - we haven't got one so therefore a weakness.

Nope

Happy with that.

Could go with that Mike - just one question re Lallana or Schnederlin?

Would be a good addition - DOF acts as a voice on the board, its absolutly rediculous to suggest that Coppell is/would be a "manager in waiting" - that would not be his role. Even if things went tits up with Pardew Coppell would be there to help bring in any successor.

We'll need to buy Pains Wessex!

Thats the side for me more or less.

LOL - that is priceless

Spot on - some peoples perspectives leave a lot to desire.

Bournemouth at ours.

He'd have been happy with a one legged donkey!

Jo fish

From AP's quotes it would appear that he was consulted as he seems quite pleased to have him on board.

Not sure how that will go down with MS & Saga.

A saints pilllow - still got it up in the loft.

And a very good one!

Ah then you will appreciate it even more when we turn the corner - we're having a peek around it at the mo'. Just need the confidence to actually walk round it.

Wheres 19C - he'd love this thread! ;-)

Hmmm - This problem isn't just a Saints one though. Steve McClaren adopted a defend deep strategy which IMHO cost England in two cup competitions.

Can't agree with that Stevo - it might be just your age or something but I can certainly remember us having a winning mentality (it was quite a few years ago tho').
