Just thinking that it could come back to bite you on the arse later on in the season. TBH though, if we can get off to a flyer (bucking the trend there - I know), then there is no reason why we shouldn't aim high for the rest of the season.

'Newcastle are a big club', that always makes me laugh for some reason. Edit: Thinking about it, forget and delete 'big' & insert 'MASSIVE' - just makes me laugh louder though.

Is this the follow up to your 'Wotte will keep us up' thread of last year TDD..?

Agree with you entirely and can assure you that I wasn't 'crowing', merely putting a new slant on an old joke that many of us Saints fans have had to endure from the blue few recently. All done in the best possible taste - I can assure you...!

Strange weather phenomenon sweeping the South Coast..., ...still minus 10 in Southampton but strangley sunny and bright..., whilst in Portsmouth it's dull and dismal despite being 25 degrees, and getting hotter by the day!

I'm guessing of course, but I don't reckon that Mr Liebherr will be appointing you as his accountant any time soon...!

Really am very happy that I visited this thread to get the all important low down - I'd of been gutted if I had missed this information.

Ahhh I see that you have finished at the mirror and have now engaged brain. As I stated before you are entitled to your dispassionate view of the service provided by HM Forces, I have no wish to converse with you on the subject as we are obviously at opposite ends of the scale and never the twain shall meet. I have at no time mentioned the word 'heroic', neither, in over 25 years service do I remember it being said too many times. Strange that, during the course of my day to day job, serving the government of the day nobody at all called me a hero. Believe me you need to go and see these guys actually do thier job to appreciate it (and ultimately them) properly - not just accept the snippets that you get through the media of television.

Spooky that - I read the thread title 'Pardew' and in my mind saw 'Curbishley'. Then again - I guess I am but a poor man...!

If that theory were true then every boy with a normal upbringing would want to be a squaddie then. Funnily enough, my son is currently running around the house wioth a plastic gun pretending to be Rambo - I'll keep my eye on him. I will except your dispassionate view of our Armed Forces - each to thier own, but your first post was offensive in the extreme and I do not believe that you have any right to label the lads as 'muppets'. If they are muppets then you are something I have just removed from my shoe sole and flicked back into the gutter.

Sorry, that is actually quite funny, but also obviously very ignorant of the facts. Take a look at any of the Forces pages and examine the job specifications that need to be fulfilled. I can assure you that not many of them are going to be filled by people who have been conditioned by JW and plastic guns. To even attempt a small operation outside of the UK takes detailed planning and 100's of specialists. In Afghanistan how many IS engineers, RADAR Specs, Trauma Surgeons, Chinook Pilots, Supply Specialists & Explosive Technicians do you think were woed on by John Wayne - not too many. And before you jump on the Infantry lads - most of them are using complex weapon systems that you wouldn't know the business end of if you were in their boots. Give the lads some credit FFS - they are doing it so that your world is a safer place.

If I knew how to report this post I would. After serving over 25 years and working in NI, the Falklands, Bosnia and the first Gulf War, not to mention other hot spots around the world - I am proud to say that I was there and did my bit. You Sir, are a loudmouthed, sick, thick, uneducated pillock who does not deserve the service that these 'muppets' provide to you in keeping you safe at home. Go take a look in the mirror - I doubt you will like what you see, while your there, engage brain and have a think about it for a moment eh?

Each to thier own. I think that the OP's idea was to offer a little moral support now, at JH's most critical hour of need, support that he may well hear about and get a boost from, as opposed to assume the worst, whereupon your suggestion will of course be most appropriate. But, as I say, each to thier own.

Exactly - it's not as if we are suggesting that the whole game is devoted to JH - but as FC has pointed out - it would be a nice touch and show some class. BTW - Does anybody know how our good mate from SSN, Ed Chamberlin is coping with his illness, hopefully we will see him again soon.

Errr perhaps you should read that again, you may be getting a little previous there...!!!

Really never rated him as a player - but never gave more than his all - I wish him all the best and hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Not really, if the last 3 months of watching this board has taught me anything, it is that the so called ITK'ers' are anything but.

Really cannot see Dennis Wise rushing to fill another DoF post after the 'humiliation' that he suffered at 'toon, especially with a big name in the managers chair. Just don't see it to be honest.

My point exactly manji - I doubt that there is one fan here that could put hand on heart and say that they wanted WGS appointed as manager.

And how many fans would have chosen WGS first time around?

I am ecstatic, but also very realistic. Whichever way you look at it, administration is not the way to go. Shortsightedly we got rid of Lowe and his cronies - all well an good. Step back, take a longer look, and how many others have suffered and lost money through our administration - a fair old few. Yes I'm very happy with where we are today - but I would rather build a successful business (and therefore club), on professional business practice and not have to rely on administration as a way out. As I have said - we were very lucky (and I am happy) but others have not been, so let's not do the old Russian Roulette bit again eh?

Agree entirely - in this current wave of euphoria, let's not forget that this could all have worked out so very differently - we have indeed been very lucky. How many Luton fans do you think are looking at us now and just wondering why they could not have had a slice of the luck that we have. Perhaps now, those who wish to gloat at 'being proved right' or continue the old and tired 'Lowe Luvvie' crap might just wish to pause for a moment, engage brain, and spare a thought for Luton Town fans - we could have been in their boat.

If he is only half German then it is fairly obvious that he will only know one half, which one can he confirm 'Leeb' or 'Burr' !

For those that missed the interview - you can catch it here: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid13706332001?bctid=29097050001 Remains dignified and even appears understandable as well as the joke at the end.

It may well do - but it also displays your avatar now. Edit: Oh - so does IE as well - would appear you fixed it - not I..!
