hypochondriac

A friend of mine went on benefits for two weeks whilst looking for a job. He found one and stopped immediately. He hates the job but has continued with it for a year whilst he looks for better option. That is what they are for.

Just a small bugbear of mine. I'm not turning into you...

I hope no one turns up so they give it a rethink for next year.

So they will do something?

Yes I agree with you it is ridiculous.

I think they are arguing the definition of valid.

I don't understand you. What has that got to do with the OP?

Even if he wasn't, the point still stands.

It does seem we are very poor at communicating to the fans and our very rigid with certain policies to the point that it greatly inconveniences paying customers.

I thought Parker was decent.

Seems rather unfair as the original CVA agreement gave them loads more time than if they had not agreed one. It suggests that if in the future a club knows they cannot get a CVA passed, they should invent a CVA with a high percentage in the pound and then a year later come back and renegotiate telling the original creditors that is they don't accept they will be responsible for the clubs liquidation.

I think it is more irritating that this sort of thing is not set in stone and put on the OS when the tickets are released. Our requirements seemingly change every season so how are fans supposed to keep up?

Well it wasn't great last year and I certainly didn't stay for the whole day. At that price they can forget it.

But what do you mean by club before country? It's not like they will ever be playing each other. Why not just wish for both to win whenever they play? It's not really a choice IMO.

What a pathetic response. You do understand that supporting your nation and your club can be done at the same time with no conflict of interest right?

Abolutely no comparison and it is silly to have an either or scenario. I support Southampton and England.

Absolute rubbish. Carrol was really decent when he came on IMO. Held the ball up really well, offered another option and did more when he came on than the odious Rooney.

Niemi in goal

I thought he was a security guard or something at the training ground.

Regardless, I hope you see what I am getting at. Over the entirety of the season we overperformed whereas West Ham underperformed but then looked to get their act together by the end. They also have a lot of pevious Premiership experience which means they may hit the ground running and be a force immediately next year. I have no problem at all with however long we take to make signings as long as we make them and they are of sufficient quality to survive in this league. Jay Rodriguez was a great start IMO though I do feel that Championship to Premiership is a much greater leap than league one to NPC. We need t be ruthless and relegate the likes of Hammond to reserve status and bring in players who are clearly better. I feel confident this will happen!

IMO we overperformed at the start and took a lot of teams by surprise and continued our momentum from the year before. West Ham clearly had a stronger squad than us and by the end of the season they started to live up to their expectations. With our difficlt start it may be difficult to build a head of steam. i hope we strengthen as much as West Ham and Reading do and as I said, I'm sure we will.

From Decembr:

Anyone have some info on Davis?

Our form was worse than West ham and Readings. I hope we strengthen considerably and I am sure we will!

Yep. We fell away towards the end of the season compared to the beginning. I hope we strengthen significantly (good start with Jay Rod!)
