i like the 3d match aspect, it gives a real feel for what is going on. I can apreciate that our "boys" stats will improve, but i would say that Schneiderlin and james can hit a cracking long pass and perhaps should have better passing scores. I note that our bank balance in the demo might be a little optomistic at + £2 million... Have got loads of injuries, hopefully this is a bug and will be fixed. Overall i would say the game looks promising as ever, you've done a cracking job MLG. Well done and thanks for representing us!!

yeah.

clinical apparently...

It is half term, but it just meas an easier ride in to work for me. Other people made it personal, i just figured i should give some abuse back. Obviously opinions aren't allowed here. Such is life on the saints forum...

Well you sir are an arse ****ing noncing ****.

sorry sir.

yes you?

**** me you guys are soo ****ing stupid. If someone decides they think differently to you, you make up little fantasy scenarios in your mind to justify your scewed perspectives. It's little wonder the club is struggling with fans as bright as you.

no. it is possible

i don't think jan is in the reprographics department of the echo so i'm not sure the SJ picture is his fault. If you listen to his interview on saintstv he mentions Skacel, Perry and Svensson as looking after the youngsters not SJ.

Does "real football people" mean the good old fashioned English "up and under", "hoof and hope", "up and at 'em" and "battle hard for every ball" tactics we all know and love? Wow i'd pay to watch that!!

well i wasn't preaching to you specifically, but if it makes you feel better i value your opinion.

uh you?

So what. KK only got the newcastle job in the first place on the back of his reputation as a player and HR is the worlds biggest chancing blagger, both have had limited success on massive budgets. Keegan#s capitulation as England coach and HR's destruction of us goes a long way to shoing up the "quality" of proven premier league managers. Ability and intelligence is not the sole preserve of the EPL or english football.

yes i'm rupert you idiot. So what, rupert appointed him, big deal! I tend to have to do what my boss says too and i'm certainly no ones "yes man". People like you ASSUME that rupert is running the football side - from what i can see most of the negative posters on have a massive chip on their shoulders that blinds them to reality and makes them see the spectre of the devil Lowe around every corner. What is worse than assumption, is stating that assumption as fact. No one on here can say conclusively that RL is meddling in first team affairs, people are just drawing conclusions that help them sleep at night when they choose to jeer and boo the team, or not attend matches at all.

i've just watched all of his interviews on saints tv. The man speaks absolute sense (in a round-a-bout dutch way) and clearly knows what he is doing. People make snap judgements about team selections, tactical choices and his actions on the touchline. But the reality is that the posters on here and most fans actually have no idea what goes on behind the scenes and are making judgments based on flawed information. Given time i remain convinced that Jan could be one of the best managers that we have ever had. He tells it like it is and frankly is a breath of fresh air compared to the inane rambling of old school managers like 'arry' and other such luminaries as kevin keegan.

A man of NO sensible words. I see him post on here regularly and pity him. Maybe one day he'll live a full and happy life, i hope he does.

Not much of a "glass half full" kinda guy are you?!

Ours are "quite good", theirs are exceptional. In the absence of anyone else, they should qualify for our unwavering support by default.

..."you have to be intelligent and instead of showing resentment you have to be behind the team more than ever. This team needs a strong guide to go through a difficult period. The younger the players are, the more support they need" Arsene Wenger (Arsenal Shareholder AGM - 2008 ) This could very much be applied to our situation

Happy Birthday matt. How we could do with another player like you!!!

i'm still looking at the other end of the table. I honestly believe that with a little luck we could make the playoffs and be in with a shot of promotion.

Alpine, surely if we were playing a weaker team you'd be saying "they're only televising the match because they're hoping for a giant killing" In essence SKY area damned if they televise us at all in your eyes? I would have thought if anything, Palace are a good match against us as they have a young team too.

I make no apologies for being optomistic. The season is far from over.
