dropped I think.

Did you not think we were on top going into half-time, Swindon came out the stronger for the second half, deservedly went into the lead. Pardew then changed Barnard for Papa to try a more pacey attack. He then added Connolly and played 3 up front, also gave Jaidi licence to stay forward. Easy criticism to make but feel it was more good players playing well below their recent standard - Puncheon and Fonte examples.

Got my ticket yesterday, can't wait - didn't think we would be having day like this 12 months ago.

Think its simpler than tactics - too many players played below their own standard. Puncheon who has looked great was poor, Harding, Fonte even Lambert played well below their normal standards - just simple things like failing to control the ball.

They are bringing 1,500 to see the most talented side in the division! http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/5062846.Saints__most_talented_squad_in_division___according_to_Wilson/

If skates argue the points deduction, they may end up delaying them. If the points are not taken off by 27 March then they will be deferred to next season, and become 10 points. I suggest they appeal, fight it for a couple of weeks, the case they gets dismissed as irrelevant as the points will be next season. They then start next season on -10.

what a strange reaction. Why don't you just start a thread listing all our defeats for you, and you alone to enjoy? Very strange man.

Burnley 1 Man U 0 Fulham 3 Man U 0 Man 0 Leeds 1 It happens.

bodes well for next season and shows that Pardew has done his job. The only criticism that could be thrown at him is that he did not start the season quick enough but he didn't have the players he has had since - or even the first team coach didn't arrive until towards the end of that poor period

are we on schedule?

wrong.

slip, sliding away............

In the "Game" today in Times. Tony Cascarino's column on page 3; South Coast takes accolade for turning out in numbers. Goes on to say 27,342 to watch Middlesborough v Newcastle, some way short of the impressive 30,794 at St Marys, he then goes onto say is this a case of South coast fervour beating North East fervour.

...my stat for today: the sun list the top ten clubs in all four divisions, ranked on goal difference - we are 10th in the country.

yes! block 125 £44s

think a lot is the manager, Lambert, etc factor

..over 21,000 http://www.mikeavery.co.uk/Attendance%20All%20Teams%20High%20to%20Low.htm

how do you record it from that site so I can play it on ipod?:confused:

Pardew has signed every player he has wanted - Cortese today.

They announced yesterday that it will be played before and at half time but the whole interview will then be available on line. Guess sometime over the weekend/ monday morning

cheers, optimistic for the weekend as usual!

I knew I was right to clear my ignore list!

to quote another poster... ..they are getting away with it!

you are right, I should use ignore more rather than letting the trolling get to me and sometimes rising to it. doing ignore settings now.
