Give it to Ron

Do you disagree with his assessment though.. I don't its spot on.

No but then again I think it will be the peak of our season as we will not make the play offs as we have too many hard games left. Brighton away for one. Surely you get why some of us are so looking forward to it after all the crap we have watched in the last few seasons.

I can tell you have never played in that case.....would you rather play at **** heaps like Fratton or the chance to walk out and play at Wembley?? How many occasions will the likes of Lambert, Lallana, Fonte, Davis get to play there? One maybe two?

+1 If we play Harding at right back on Sunday we will get beat. Why move your best left back and the player who has been our best attacking option on the left? We got away with it last night because Hartlepool were shocking up front. We play narow enough as it is without having your full back having to always come inside making it even more narrow. I was never worried we would lose though as they were very poor going forward. Fonte was superb at the back snuffed evrything out before it happened. I think Morgan is key for us on Sunday as he was outstanding again in the first half.

Now at Boro with a few other old Strachan faithfuls

Have you ever seen him play?? You would keep him on the basis of a goal for the reserves...:confused: You missed off the smilies of this was meant to be ironic.

Don't know but apparently it was for the DOF role and the interview lasted 2 hours at a top hotel in Southampton.....as I said came from a taxi driver. ;-)

Heard Mark Hughes was interviewed.......it came from a taxi driver so must be true.

Me..I hate me on matchday...stupid bloody rituals and superstitions! What difference does it make what colour Tshirt I wear ...can't be the same as the away team. How does parking the car in the same place on a match day mean we are going to win? Loads of others...stupid mental idiot on matchday.

Whenever an away substitute is named...."Whoooooo?" thats because your an ignorant **** ! People that arrive 10 minutes late....leave 10 minutes before half time.....get back q10 mintues after half time....leave 10 minutes before the end and stand in the way watching as they go. Either get an intravenous drip of beer or get a colostomy bag. Middle aged wnkers who sit in block 34 making hand gestures at the away fans....brave ! Totally embarassing!

Spot on....how many times did Morgan get the ball look up and have the 2 wide men alongside him? Kelvin looked like an old man...well older than me going down for 2 of those shots he could of walked across and picked one up it was going that fast and he pushed it for a corner! What was the James substitution all about? Good idea bring on a ful back that pings it in from 40 yards out and cant beat the first man! Their goal came about after a shocking period of play yet we set and faffed about warming up players...why when they did that at half-time. We were clearly losing midfield and should of put Waigo wide right and James in the middle 4-5-1 with Lallana tucked in . Poor from Pardew last night IMO.

Thanks for that....in an age of technology you would think they could produce a childs ticket wouldn't you ;-)

Bought 4 together 2 x £34 and 2 x£17....tickets arrived 2 in one row 2 in another and 4 x £34 !

So you ignore all what was happening to Fonte??

Well you need to go to Specsavers....so why is it ok for Leeds defenders to be all over Lambert and Barnard yet as soon as Jaidi, Thomas, Fonte and Harding got anywhere within 5 yards it was a Leeds free-kick. Why would Barnard go down when through on goal? On several occasions the linesman was about 3 yards away never flagged but he can see a free-kick against us from 40 yards? He was atrocious! You are the only one posting on here and on the match thread to think otherwise. I have referee'd many games over the years so know how difficult it is and I try to give them the benefit of the doubt - this fool was totally incompetant .

Do you honestly believe that or are you posting for a reaction?

That was without doubt the worst refereeing performance I have ever seen in over 45 years of watching Saints.

How can you forget Ernie the Fastest Milkman in the West??? Well Eastleigh anyway...good old Benny.

Can you tell me where your sitting and I will make sure we wave ours.....don't smudge our face paint will you.

So having to have the pitch relaid 10 times so far has no bearing on the weather??? Did you go to Cardiff in 2003 and hear the atmosphere in the stadium with the roof on? I agree with your other bits....only poofs and goalies wear gloves! I only let my lad wear black boots......what is it with poncey green and sky blue?

Plus it doesn't have a roof!!

But how many times in our history did we do that? We got battered far more times than we won. I do not think we will be ready for ages as Pardew had to totally restructure the backroom staff. Its now starting to pay off at the lowere level. I think we will be in a far stronger position when ML leaves..for one we won't be a PLC with all the split shareholding that we had previously. We should not also have the amount of debt or a mortgage on the stadium. However....how much ML would want to sell at is a different matter as we have seen there are not too many buyers of football teams....or shall I say Arabs with money ;-)

As you quoted him I will answer you ...as I have that plum on ignore....I accept you are not a WUM like him so dont hold you in same regard. Because for years we struggled in the Prem to compete and regularly got stuffed or is your memory faded....do you honestly believe we can compete with the top half of the Pl now? Or even when we get there? Dont get me wrong I want us to get up and think we will but it will take far longer than you and the impatient ones on here demand! We may even have a different owner by then. If you remember the criteria set for the club....we have to be self sufficient and you believe that we can do that against Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City and Arsenal???

So you would rather us get thumped 5-1 by Man City like Hull than win 5-0 against Huddersfield and play the best football we have seen in years. Yep that confirms everything I thought about you and your clique of GS/SS

What difference is it not going and listening on the radio from Premiership to League One still costs the same?? You can still moan and criticise from your armchair. Those of us that went in the Premiership paid well over £500 for a ST for me alone ...this year I paid £325 for me and my lad.....you do the maths!!!
