hypochondriac

Any response to my post? Or are you just going to ignore it and continue with the personal stuff.

Why can't you just discuss things sensibly without resorting to abuse? Serious question. Ok so you have a difference of opinion to myself but why start calling me weak, pathetic and a ****? Is it not possible for you to talk in a sensible manner? Or alternatively just not reply if you are going to be abusive? I'm glad I don't meet some of you in real life. It's nice to be able to talk and debate with people without shouting obscenities just because you disagree. Long time posters like Franks Cousin, Nickh and (pleasant surprise) Canada Saint have often disagreed with me but can tell me that without all the rubbish that goes with it. Why cant you?

I think 'Win It For Markus' is unnecessary and cringeworthy. I haven't actually posted that or had a go at anyone who has used it though, I just used my picture to show my point of view. Thanks for the personal abuse once again. How am I a bandwagon jumper? I have been consistent with my views and when I have changed my mind (like with Duncan) I said so and apologised. With regards the joke, I have made my views on that clear in an earlier post on this thread. Note how at no point during my reply did I resort to calling you a prize ****. It's how grown up people discuss things.

Hardly a shock...

Some of NC's decisions have made me think he doesn't fully consider the consequences. The press thing is the most obvious example of this. I hope he has fully considered what sacking AP at this time means.

Pardew knew he was going to be sacked. He knew it was just a matter of time. I know that because I have spoken to someone very close to Pardew AND other people on here have had similar conversations and received similar info from different sources.

So you are saying this decision was out of the blue? I can;t believe some views on here.

Wow Andy I agree with your list!

It does seem rather odd. Especially things like no notice of the installment plan. I think a lot of his decisions would have been much better received if they had been explained and released in a certain way. Is he not aware of PR? You would think the first thing he would be looking to do is some sort of damage limitation exercise. If his mindset was that he was going to sack Pardew, then one day before the transfer window closes when the manager has already spoken of further strengthening is pretty much the worst time you could think of!

Why would someone not want Martin O'Neil over Pardew? That's crazy! Everyone else I would rather have Pards.

"They should be equal"

But you could also say them same for Cortese... You have to say the timing of this is just awful.

Sky were fuming because they needed some information (I think it was related to where cameras could go or if they could park in a certain place) but Cortese was on holiday and had asked not to be disturbed. No one wanted to commit themselves and so Sky had to track Cortese down themselves which I think they managed to do a few days later. They were seriously cheesed off and I expect will be thinking hard before showing games from SMS in the future. Ho hum.

Well I have no idea but maybe Cortese is not really one to compromise! I hope whoever we get, we stick with them for a while and give them a chance.

No chance IMO would MON work with Cortese. He cannot stand interfering chairmen! If we did get him though it would be extremely exciting. What are your thoughts on Zola? (Off topic I know but it is a more pleasing subject!)

In fairness though, Duncan and quite a few others were saying they expected his sacking sooner rather than later. Quite a few of them were saying it before the season had ended. You have to say they were right on the money

I'm not angered by him at all. I actually think he contributes well when he isn't rubbishing other people's opinions or calling me a troll. I just don't see how you can get personal with people and then expect your view to be respected. Anyway that's my final word on the matter. Unless gingeletiss wants to be abusive or something then let that be the end of the matter.

Fair enough nick. A little bit more respect for all views is all I ask.

You know it's going to be Zola Duncan

Thanks Duncan and can I also say that I will take you up on that drink offer at some point this season (am not in Southampton at the moment but I will be at some point.) As you mentioned, I have said things about you in the past but when I found out I was wrong I put my hands up and apologised. It's what I would expect of most decent people. It says a lot about some posters who continue to get personal rather than just admit they were wrong and move on.

A joke on a forum which has nothing to do with the saints related forum has nothing to do with my views on here. Quite clearly I do not find what happened to that girl funny. I was messing about on an off topic forum (and I got infracted for it.) I am happy to apologise and admit I was wrong to post that, are you willing to do likewise? If you want to discuss this particular issue further then feel free to PM me.

Well done for admitting you don't respect the views of others. This forum has no hope if everyone else takes your view.

Duncan is no longer a full member and so cannot PM you. Your reply was pretty much what I suspected. How depressing.

I'm personally just fed up with the likes of gingeletiss totally failing to respect the views of others. It remains to be seen whether he can be the bigger man and admit he was wrong.

TBH there is with the amount of abuse that so many received on here. You would hope that some would be big enough to apologise.
