  1. What would he bring here? Fresh ideas, new broom, new contacts, he is also used to running a club that uses an academy although on a far greater scale than ours. The 3 will not dip into the pocket for players as we know there is too much bad blood between them and would you trust them to spend it wisely but Dein could be the 'Kissinger' that re-unites this club that is so in need of the kiss of life. I agree OB Lowe has done what most wanted by keeping a quieter lower profile but he is still the divisive figure that drives the wedge between fans. I did not say that it would be the end of Lowe but he would not be the front man that he is now.
  2. We often see here the comment "who else is there apart from Rupert" well it looks like David Dein is free now Arsenal have a new CE. I know we have no money but wouldn't it be great if for the good of the club all major shareholders could come together and dip in there pockets and also with Ruperts 2 days a week money appoint someone who knows what they are doing and acceptable to everyone? The stayaways would be able to see that there is now someone who is running the club correctly for a change. Pie in the sky idea I know but not something that could not be achieved if the 3 major shareholders buried the hatchet and not in each others backs for once.
  3. Nick H I totally agree about Lallana he is quality and has great feet but is not hurting the opposition enough. Great player but last night no end product unfortunately. We were toothless again.
  4. Footballing wise we did but Plymouth were atrocious up front and had probably the worst right back I have seen in ages but as usual we didn't exploit him enough fiddling it about to much down the right. Robertson and McGoldrick were poor and DMG wasted a golden chance when we had them on the back foot and Lallana belting unmarked into the box but he tried a fancy outside of the foot cross that was so shocking it went for a throw when all he had to do was look up and roll it into Adams path! DMG also missed a sitter right on half time - had we taken those 2 chances then I could not see Plymouth scoring. I know Plymouth had their normal forwards missing last night but they were very ordinary.
  5. Absolutely spot on and exactly what I was saying at the time - we should of put Pearce on for the last 10 up front - what was there to lose?
  6. Poll Tax as well!
  7. Noo that is sooo last season ;-)
  8. Alpine you are right but its not meant to deliver stability its meant to deliver finance. That is Ruperts idea of the academy - get them in young and cheap, train them up and ship them out to the highest bidder treat them as revenue. I am certainly not a Lowe Luvvie and personally cant wait till the three of them are out of the club for good but you cannot deny the fact that without this finance for Bale, Theo and others like Cranie, Dexter and Tosser Best we would of been sunk.
  9. Did you just see his debut for Derby....yep thats the Powell we all know and love!
  10. So tell me are happy with our home wins and results and what has only playing 1 up front at home got to do with the bank - we had other options. You were happy that we again put out the wrong formation and gave up the chance of another win against Wolves by playing a too inexperienced player in Gobern and the poor Lancashire instead of BWP and Perry..how was that the banks decision..its not it the manager that keeps getting it wrong at home. I have applauded him in some of his interviews and he has said some really good things but actions speak louder than words and I have praised him greatly when I have seenn his tactics work. Every man and his dog of the 14,000 that goes to home games can see that we play some nice football but it does not hurt the opposition and the formation encourages the away team to push on. Yes he has to make tough decisions but in several games this year he has chosen the kids when he has had more experienced players available. A great result yesterday and no-one was as happy as I was - but if we again leave McGoldrick isolated on his own up front on Tuesday and give it away again like against Coventry when we were leading and didn't change the struggling formation then yesterday would again been another false dawn. One of those one brained cell fans who can tell when a manager gets it wrong and praises when its right!
  11. Superb result but not getting carried away, sounds like what most of us wanted last week with Perry and BWP starting with Robertson wide gave us the extra man forward with pace. It pushes them back and annoys me greatly that we could of beaten Wolves last week with the right players in that formation at home. Lets hope no silly changes for Tuesday - come on you reds lets get another home win now.
  12. I remember back in the late 70's when there were a couple of BIG US aircraft carriers in and their MPs threw a big cordon round the then notorious Derby Rd area - all that happened was the pimps and girls came out across the cordon. Since they have clamped down the red light district al its done is drive them into other areas. Oldest profession will never die. Not that I have ever been to one - although did get propositioned going into the RSH visiting once, right in front of my mum and dad which was nice!
  13. I spoke to Wayne at the Brighton reserve game and he has a bad injury - he has had an opertaion to repair his achilles that ruptured I believe and had a few other micro fractures. He told me that he was expected to be out for about 7 months. Nothing to do with appearances and money this time.
  14. Thanks for posting that again and brought back memories of when we had some great players to cheer. I had always thought Martin was in goal that day not Gerry Gurr who I used to watch loads in the reserves as a nipper - he had a fantastic leap and catch that I have never forgotten - strange thing schoolboy football memories. I had the pleasure of playing against Sydie a few years ago...more than a few ..a game that also included Jimmy Gabriel and although I had played at Hampshire league level these guys still run rings round us. Great memories of Big Ron my all time hero.
  15. Really so when Wolves scored their second goal and looked like rampaging through our defence you still thought we were ok....jeesh those rose tinted glasses of yours must have very dark coatings. Without the sending off and the change of formation bringing on BWP we would of continued to be ripped apart. What annoys me is the fact that fans like you are happy to bury your heads when its the manager that keeps getting it wrong. I believe had we had BWP and Perry at the back from the start we would of actually not given them the impetus and encouragement to attack us.
  16. If we are so skint how come we have recruited players(11 I believe) many that cant get near the first team ahead of untried 17 year olds?
  17. But why do we always have to concede the first half because of his stupid team selections again. Oscar is a very talented youngster who they are destroying he is not ready in a side already obver loaded with kids by throwing him in again this week. He had a good 20 min spell at Preston where he had no pressure or time to get nervous and played well. Last week he was abysmal...so why start him at home in front of an already angry crowd against the top of the league team? Lancashire is not up to playing this league against brusing forwards and is too lightweight. He spent most of the first half with his arm in the air and not challenging. The argument about no money does not hold if you have the wrong man in charge who cannot get it right. Every week you see us start at home 4-5-1 with the supposed wide men getting forward to make it 4-3-3 but how often do you see them in the box...never. I would bet that unless it was a corner no-one apart from Lallana or Euell get in there - Surman hovers outside. We then go mad for the last 20 minutes and push sides back with 2 up and then next week revert back to the same old formation that is not working. The ref took away what was actually wrong yesterday and I am convinced if we had started BWP with his pace out wide it would of pushed Kightley etc back - with Gobern on it allowed them to have the extra foward to command the game.
  18. I heard it and he came across very well. He just said what he has said on here before really. He mainly mentioned the fact along with Psycho that people like Askham, Richards, Windsor-Clive and the other share holders should vote against loveable old rosey cheeks and oust him as he is a devisive figure for the fans and ruining the club that is on the verge of going under.
  19. BWP was a no show and replaced by Jordan Robertson. Good show put up by the players this year although they still lost 43-37 - sound familiar? Cork had a large plaster across his nose after a training ground incident where he got hit on the nose but should be fit for Saturday. He reckoned the Bolton rumour was just made up by a lazy journalist. Homes started running this week and hopes to be back in 3-4 weeks. Robertson is now full fit after chest and throat infections laid him out. Usain Bolt picture was excellent and went for £310. Signed Steven Gerrard picture went for £98 Saints shirt and matchball both signed £75. Anna Ivanovic tennis dress that was a shocking blue and horrible went for £95 A good nights entertainment.
  20. Does Pulis have another son that plays football?
  21. They have a signed photo of Usain Bolt crossing the finishing line at the last Olympics...rumour has it that it will reach £350! Saints team is Lallana, BWP, Cork and Holmes.
  22. I think you can buy on the door its 7ish.
  23. Anyone else going to the annual quiz tonite at Mountbatten? Saints players expected are Lallana, Cork, BWP and Holmes Hawks include Jimmy Adams and Dimi. Cricketers normaly win. Normally have a very good auction afterwards.
  24. No it was only 22m ....but whats 3m when you don't have a pot to **** in or have a ramshackle tin shed that only fit to house inbred fish ****ers and no sign of moving out of it.
  25. Really ..I had not realised that....I responded to the Skate who said they(Billionaires etc) did not do Fizzy Pop clubs well last time I looked QPR were a fizzy pop club whether they are in London or Devon they are in the CCC so the Skate was talking out of his arse as usual.
