Depsite how popular Hooliveld is with the fans Fonte hasn't been the same player since he joined. For whatever reason they dont look comfortable together. I said many time last season we were flat track bullies, most of our clean sheets came when we had a lot of the ball and were dominating teams. We didn't get many points from tremendous defensives displays and being solid when under pressure. More often than not we'd conside a sloppy goal due to an individual error. The writing was on the wall sadly as this season we will see far less of the ball and have to be solid if we want to survive.

There is clearly some tension there and these rumours that all is not well dont come from no where. Someone has said it feels like it did in Pardews final weeks.

Big difference between being a fantastic championship manager and a fantastic premier league manager. Neil Warnock is a fantastic championship level manager, not in the premier league yet.

Tokyoee, Tokyoee He doesn't like the fee So wont eat Sushi Tokyoeee * needs work *

They didn't put square pegs in round holes and play a formation that they didn't have the right players to do it.

Just because you went to a New York resturant you dont have to try and talk like them.

I thought he meant scavenger in a parcel.

Set up FC Saints of Southampton.

Doesn't really tie in with the FACT that we had thousands of fans back then who didn't bother trying to get a ticket as they thought there was no chance of getting one. How can this be when we regularly selling 2,000 on the day of the match?

so bitter Timmy. Bless you.

When was this?

And we had no investment and were crap.

Out of position, as he was for the other 89 minutes.

I'd didn't think this could be true as the weather forecast is good, it isn't the school holidays or a bank holiday weekend. There are no road works on the M3 or A34 and no train strike and its our only league home game in 4 weeks so no issue with anyone who just wants to see a game of premier league football having to pick one game out of two, therefore i assumed we'd sell out already and be turning thousands away. Then I remembered its the weekend before pay day and the 22nd of September is traditionally one of the most popular dates in the calander for surprise birthday parties for aunties so that explains why there are still a lot of tickets left.

Did you get any bother from the arsenal fans. IMO the very minimum you should expect for doing that is a foam hand around your canister but given their dominance and Arsenal being a trendy club full of city types I'd imagine you probably got nothing more than a few funny looks.

If we did get Redknapp then his traditionally deadline day interview from the wound down window of his car as he leaves the training ground is going to blow open our 'we do our business in private' policy.

Did any of you celebrate our goal?

I wonder if he wears built up soccerball boots?

Fully agree, really? Do you really think throwing in a centre back who didn't look particularly good in the championship as a left back in the premier league is a sensible move? Or what about a 17 year old left back who has never started a league game that most people seem to have decided is th new Gareth Bale, despite only a few hundred fans actually seeing him play? And do you 'fully agree' that if Davis and Fox start on Saturday we should just accept relegation, as was suggested in the post you fully agree with?

I thought he looked tiny as well, I was most surprised to see the he is over 6ft as he looked nothing like that from where I was.

The intelligent posters are very quiet at the moment for some reason.

I was told euring the summer that if Di Matteo didn't get the Chelsea job he was being lined up to replace Adkins. Also that Cortese didn't think Adkins has the status in the game to attract the players he wanted to bring to the club. This came from a very good source.

And to think a few months ago a lot on here were claiming he should be in the England squad and anyone who said he wasn't good enough was shouted down.

Too true Jamie. Just look at the difference Niemi made. Jones was competent but Niemi was on another level and worth 10-15 points a season. As I've said many times the goalkeepers and centre backs are the most important positions on the pitch and what everything else is built on, don't concede you don't lose. Unfortunately none of our players in those positions are good enough.
