agree about instalment plan but not the others.

last season: came into the club late with incomplete, unmotivated unbalanced side after building during 7 games without a win (worrying time) he managed still to earn 83 points. (Last season Leeds went up with 86 points.) Over the next 39 games therefore we earnt 78, exactly 2 points per game - or projecting over 46 games 92 points. A team capable of earning 2 points per game is a very good and extremely consistent one, and shows that he can keep team motivated against a variety of opponents even when it looked likely it would achieve nothing. He also won our first trophy for years. All permanent signings have been successful. A very very good start. Important year ahead.

can't remember this much communication about the footballing side of business pre-season before - training camp etc

although I have good memories, promotion, fa cup, keegan channon ball boyer moran etc I pay my money to enjoy a saturday afternoon watching a good team - this is and should be NC's priority imho

you were wrong.

its only a friendly

fair enough. not much happening but don't tend to see you on new player/signing threads or season predictions just those about communicaton, pricing or boardroom.

greats like these: http://www.saintsfcpics.com/pictures_84410/KEVIN-KEEGAN.html

why are you more interested in the boardroom than the team? that is how it appears.

some seem to wish for failure. I can't say I understand it. Its meant to be a pleasure or a passion, not wishing for failure. If you can't be optimistic when starting a season as the biggest favourites in any league when will football or your the team you claim to support excite you??

easy - anyone better than GB- what happened when he left? As I warned him!

or couple of injuries, you do realise that we can't have a flying start until season starts?

if ffs not when, says more about you than saints

only person I ever saw totally agreeing with DBP in a thread was......Stu! Bit sad really.

you are trolling, again, you know that is not what I have ever said, or think.

your making things up is getting very tedious.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjani_Mwaruwari deal done then!

to his credit it takes some doing to find the signing of prem player in league one as poor management and a reason to slate the club.

think good source of info is reading other teams fans forums, they can be quite critical (not like on here!) of players leaving or linked with other clubs. Good examples of their views were how disappointed they were to lose Lambert, Fonte and Butterfield

Pardew is not looking for RB - sorry for being ambiguous!

yes

didn't mention cm

Pardew saying on solent (0820 today) that he is happy with first 11, very pleased with two quality signings at RB and despite injury will not be looking for anyone else. Aware of lack of competition for wide players, particularly with Lallana carrying a knock and hopes to address this before end of window.

true, its good to be linked with some decent players for this level.

that I won't get excited about their stories yet!
