A bargain in hindsight. All hinged on the appointment of Adkins.

I can see where you are coming from. It's understandable, certainly the last time we made a bid for promotion with Burley and Wilde and spent all that money a lot of us were caught up in it and perhaps didn't question the spending enough. The major difference here though is trust, we shouldn't have trusted Wilde so quickly like we did but we were so delighted to be rid of Lowe a lot of us simply took him on blind faith. This was the mistake a lot of Skates made when placing their trust in various owners as soon as they showed up, not that it would've made much difference if they hadnt. Having been here for nearly 3 years now, I think Cortese has done enough to earn the fans trust (plus his background is in finance). Whilst that shouldn't stop us questioning if we're concerned, I have seen enough to believe in what he's doing. Of course, the other point is that even if we were in any trouble, I don't suppose there would be a great deal we could do about it as fans anyway.

Haha. I wish I was sporting enough to be one of those people who applauds brilliant opposition goals. I'm usually too busy swearing though.

I really don't think it is, maybe I'm a no brainer. I thought the Pompey fans were utterly pathetic with their West Brom shirts that season, what kind of moron wants their own team to lose?

No no no. Anyway, would be funnier in some ways to tell them how we kept them up.

I look at it after a match, and then I wait for the next match. Now the fixture list, that's another matter.

You spend £114 on beer and food?

In the actual interview on Saints player he said we won the league, the OS have done a bit of creative editing there.

If we're reappointing crap England managers why not go the whole hog and give it to Graham Taylor.

We got groupsave online from Soton to Clapham and then clapham to selhurst, £18 each, not too bad. They do seem to withdraw them online once they realise what's happening though.

What?

I think the reason it get's used so much is it doesn't sound too bad if it doesn't rhyme, or you can just repeat the first line again. So it doesn't take any intelligence to think of a chant that works with it.

I suffered with that for a while. Honestly though, if you can't do it now, you probably never will.

Stop calling him Richard you total **** Temple!

Exactly. You don't need to be an expert in body language to see that was somebody looking a bit anxious trying to sing what he heard, without really knowing the players name.

I think it's just Tadanari Lee x 3 but nobody around us seems sure

Actually, thinking about it, as you have said it's hard to throw the "why didn't you start a song" line when you're stuck over there in the Kingsland. But really, if you care enough to start a thread on the perceived lack of vocal support you need to get yourself over to the Northam next season and start helping to influence the atmosphere yourself. Go on, give up the cosy halfway line view, you know you want to.

In some ways it's similar to your line about the kingsland. I like to think of myself as a vocal fan, but I still rely on those around me, same as you do in the Kingsland. At the end of the day if the majority are flat and not up for it you are not going to get anything going, even in the Northam, we tried a few things that fell flat on their arse Tuesday.

The red card league maybe.

You're an effing idiot idiot idiot

Exactly, when was the last time we actually marched anywhere?

I don't understand, what's wrong with it?

I don't think it does and I think that accusation distracts from the issue. I just think people have their favourites and subconciously offer those players a lot more slack. With Lallana people will look for the good things he does, ignoring the mistakes, but with Guly they will ignore a lot of his better work because they're looking for something to berate him for.

The Guly bashing is really winding me up. The difference in reaction of the crowd between a Lallana mistake and a Guly mistake is mental. At one point in the second half last night we were getting hit with a counter attack, our centre midfield were nowhere to be seen, Guly sprinted from the right wing to close down the gap in the centre, and then followed that man with the ball across to the left wing (where there was also space). Ipswich then switched the ball to the other wing, where nobody had seen fit to cover for Guly, cue a load of "where the **** is Guly!" and "****ing hell Guly you lazy ****" shouts. I wonder if people are actually watching the game sometimes.
