Arctic Monkeys - Humbug Muse - The Resistance Ian Brown - My Way Had high hope or all 3, but they are all pretty disappointing and fail to live up to expectation.

Papa is ****!

After reading some very good press about King Monkey's new album I had high hopes. Sadly it doesn't live up to expectation. It's just another Ian Brown album and offers nothing new. I realise that some people don't want change and will be happy to get another record from him, but this is a major disappointment. One review I read suggested that whilst he's making records as good as this then the Stone Roses will never reform. I'd love to meet that journalist and find out if they actually listened to the album before writing their review! There is nothing here that is anywhere near anything that the roses ever did. Lead single 'stelify' is probably the highlight of the record. The low point being the truly awful cover of 'In the year 2525' which has you reaching for the skip button immediately. If you want a good Ian Brown ablum then buy 'Music Of The Spheres' or 'Solarized'.

Same old ****. Beaten again in the last minute. How can this keep happening? If it was the same team that kept conceeding in the last minute then you could do something to address it, but this is a completely different team & manager in a completely different league. As long as I've been a Saints fan we've always conceeded late on I'm seriously beginning to wonder if Pardew is the right man for the task ahead. On paper we've got a decent squad, so why do we seem to be incapable of winning games? There must be something wrong with the coaching or management.

I was at the 7-1 game. I think that was '96 when Souness was in charge. Also remember seeing us get beaten 4-1 in '88 or '89. If I remember correctly it was the first game where 3 brothers were in the starting line up. Rod, Ray and Danny Wallace. Think we went 1-0 up and then got battered I remember us actually winning a game there. I think it was '97? It was a Sunday game which we won 2-0 or 2-1.

He held talks with them in the summer and I got slated for reporting it on here.

What a load of crap! The Nick Love interview on that site confirms that he is a complete *****.

My son did something similar. I sent him back to bed and told him to go back to sleep. When he asked why I told him that dreaming about Saints winning something is far more enjoyable than watching the rubbish we've seen over the last few years. I went on to explain that he'd benefit from the extra time in bed because it was a school day, and it's important to get a good nights sleep when you've got a busy day of education ahead.

Just watched the original version of 'The Firm'. It's streets ahead of the remake. Gary Oldman is superb. Infact, all the acting is ten times better than in the remake. It's led me to the conclusion that Nick Love is a **** for trying to remake it. He's simply taken the classic scenes from the original and arranged them in a slightly different order, made more of the fight scenes, and generally got the whole perspective wrong. The original was about blokes with decent jobs, cars etc. travelling 1st class on the train to have a ruck at weekends. Love has tried to make out that once home from their white collar jobs they donned their Fila and Adidas and turned into Chavs. Sorry Mr. Love, but you've got it all wrong. You've got 2 types of football hooligan mixed up and it just doesn't work. The Casuals were a completely different bunch to the White collar workers. The only good thing about the remake is that Nick Love didn't employ the services of 'Top ****ney Geezer ******' Danny Dyer, which is suprising given that they seem to be joined at the hip. I wish Nick Love would stick to making his own films. Preferably not about Football violence as there's only so many ways you can tackle the subject. Agree with the comments about I.D. That was a great film.

Just watched Nick Love's remake of the 80's TV Movie. Not great. Love's obsession with Football Violence and 80's fashion is wearing a bit thin. There's only so many films you can make on this subject and The Firm really didn't need remaking with Love's take on things. May sound daft, but little details really ****ed me off. One of the main characters in the original was called 'Yeti', probably because of his blonde/white hair. In this film he's played by Daniel Mayes who has nothing 'Yeti' about him at all. Also, Love seems to think that the fashion from 1980 - 1989 basically involved Adidas trainers and Fila Tracksuits and nothing else. I could go on for hours about how this film should have never been remade. In the end I think it's easier to sit down and watch the original. It's far more enjoyable.

I've never understood managers who but subs on with 2 mins to play. What's the point? How are they going to have any impact on a game in such a short space of time? I would be looking to introduce substitutes from 60 mins onwards if things are looking a bit stale. At least this gives them a chance to impact upon the game.

Wise words. Mills is a must. Will have to see what Waigo has to offer. I'm not holding me breath. It would just be nice to see us score some goals and actually win a game.

Same old ****e! FFS when are these so called wonderful young players going to find their level? League 2? BSP? I've forgotten what it feels like to experience the team I support winning a game.

Humbug is a major disappointment

It's times like this that I wish the club had folded. At least I wouldn't have to endure this **** every Saturday afternoon.

Based on their performance last Saturday night, it comes as no suprise. They were f*cking awful! All that crap about Laim having Viral Laryngitis on Sunday was bull****. His voice was fine on Saturday at V. Well, I say fine. It was the same as it has been for the last few years which is not a patch on what it once was. At least I can say I saw their last gig... For the time being.

Exactly!

I may have to BOB down to St. Mary's for tonights game.

Where did I have a pop about not being able to find decent players? I clearly state that we've found the likes of Lambert and Hammond, so why can't we find defenders who can add some qulaity to the squad instead of taking people on loan. People who are not even proven at CCC level! Birmingham may have been promoted twice with loads of loan players. On the other side, we've been relegated twice with too many loan players!

Err, no they are not. If they are no good then why sign them in the first place? Nobody seems to know anything about this lad. My guess would be that he has a similar level of experience as Lancashire . All that happens is you end up with someone for 6 months that adds nothing to the squad. If he goes back in Jan then we are left with a problem, and have to go through the whole process again, looking for another defender on a 6 month loan. The problem is that we don't have a single centre back who is any good. We should be looking to buy 2 players who can build a central defensive partnership that will become a solid unit for years to come. We should also be looking to buy a striker who can partner Lambert and form a striking partnership. I can't believe that our scouts have been unable to identify players who can do a job for us and bring some much needed quality to the team. There are players out there who can do a job for us - We've proved this by signing the likes of Lambert and Hammond.

This is bull****. Why are we taking players on 6 month loan deals? We are supposed to be building a team that will get us out of L1. Have we not learned the lesson with loan players? Part of the reason for our demise over the last few seasons has been because we've had too many loanees who are not commited enough because thay have no passion for the club.

I'm nervous that he may opt to join his old manager at Norwich!

With the Colchester manager leaving for Norwich, is nobody else nervous that he may try and take Hammond with him?

Oh yes you would. Chester are my local team and if you want to see an example of a **** poor team and a club who are well and truly ****ed then look no further! They were 2-0 up on Saturday and lost 4-2... Hang on a minute, that sounds like the sort of thing Saints would do. You have to laugh or else you'd cry!

Simply not good enough! We are supposed to have all these promising youngsters yet none of them seem to be delivering the goods. I can understand why they may have struggled last season as they were thrown in at the deep end, but they should easilly be capable of playing at this level. The older players in the side should certainly be able to hack it in L1, but I've seen little evidence of this. Get some people in who actually want to play for the club. Anyone who is not prepared to give 100% should be shown the door! Can anyone tell me what AP's problem is with Gillett? FFS, give the lad a chance!
