Probably the best goal I've ever seen scored was Don Roper hitting a volley from just inside his own half. It was hit so hard it flashed under the diving goalkeeper, hit the metal stanchion holding up the net and rebounded back out under the still airborne goalkeeper.

Or a welsh leisure centre, Baaa.

I must say that I read the forum most days and can only remember one occasion thinking that the club may have complained about threads on here. That was when leftback was posting information and opinions. He must have either worked/recently worked for the club with current information available to him. After the Huddersfield match when the system to be used and the team picked was posted on here we were outmanoeuvered, especially as the Huddersfield scout sat next to us and what he was writing was observed by the person looking over his shoulder. I thought at the time that we could catch a cold and we did. Leftback was then banned. It didn't surprise me in the least certainly as the club monitored this site on a daily basis which was confirmed to me by David Luker. If I had been them I would have been upset at this information being leaked, therefore it would surprise me if there wasn't some reaction from the club.

Every job at whatever level being paid for with public funds should be evaluated. It is necessary, keep it, it can be done without, get rid of it. The public sector should consist only of the essential public services. Leisure, PR etc should be cut unless self financing through fees..

I think it came from Ron. email him. With his impact, being Markus Leibherr's favourite player, Pardew wasn't going to get away with ditching him especially as he had to agree to the club's ambition on style. I think it was more likely that he didn't want to stay, with Pardew's attitude and his political position in the middle.

We were told that he wouldn't stay with Pardew as manager rather than the other way round.

Brilliant.

I'd have him back today. What he gave us we don't have now, a much better player than he has been given credit for.

I know Nick socially and he is a decent person that lives for the Saints, can't meet up next week as he is in Hartlepool with another 1000 real supporters. As for most of us it's far too much trouble to do a 500 mile round trip and get back in the early hours but Nick does it all the time.

I played golf with David Peach the day after he had a 'snip'. We all couldn't stop laughing as he was walking like a jockey on tiptoe wishing he hadn't bothered.

I knew him quite well at Stoneham. He was a good player if a bit small. In those days everybody attacked, a hundred goals a season was regularly achieved. I still remember all those players and the teams selected.

Bryn Elliott was in the first team when I started going. He was a left half (central midfielder). A member at Stoneham for years. He is a really nice person.

He was brought in and a fee agreed prior to Pardew leaving. Only signings after Adkins arrived can be attributed to him.

Adkins has spent £50k, one loan, one released because contract not being renewed. How much did Pardew spend? Millions. This was a silly comparison with no chance of a valid answer.

Tranmere, Exeter, Peterborough, a good keeper, you are having a laugh.We defend better at home and lot of his mistakes are away and cost us points. 10 away games left and Davis in goal in his present form could screw our promotion this season.

You are in the minority now defending the indefensible, Davis is a liability. The sooner he is out of the team, the better. His present form is schizophrenic and his lapses may well add up to no promotion. It must be his off field influence certainly not his onfield performances that are keeping him in the team. As a goalkeeper Collin dominated his box and communicated well with his defence, shotstopped when he had to and had no chance with the goal. Along with half the keepers in the league far better all round than Davis.

Collin looked like a good keeper today. Davis and Fonte nearly messed it up again a la Tranmere.

Anyone ride on the trams?

I've got the same tv and watched an England PPV game on the internet via the tv by using usb/hdmi cable link from laptop to tv, but disable the screensaver on the laptop as every so often it stops the picture until the keyboard is used.. I also have the latest 3D Samsung tv which links to the router wirelessly and needs setting up with the remote but I haven't bothered to set it up as I don't use it.

I was a young quantity surveyor on the building of Dimond road school in 1963 at the same time the concrete runway was built at the airport. Not long after that I became a pilot and flew Heralds and Fokker F27s out of the airport. More than likely flew over you. Used to use the Tudor Cafe at the junction in the fifties, most of the Saints players hung out there after training at the dell.

Only allowed inside if they win.

Ian White's tel no is in the book, Bartley. Midfielder in first division promotion side 1965/6. sports shop, coach.

So do I, but I'm not blaming him as it is a given that he'll stay anchored on the goal line so somebody else however unfairly has to deal with it and Harding let his man get by him because instead of going for the ball he tried to impede Whelpdale, missed and was caught flat footed. This is why I want Davis out especially as he is also making errors gifting goals.

I don't rate MS highly as I think his workrate and effort is poor. His one goal in his Saints career is a joke. Sadly as a youngster he seems to have been allowed to limit himself to strolling around and just passing, whilst avoiding the work rate and effort that is needed to be a midfield player. Against MU with a bit of extra effort he looked brilliant in midfield but faded out in the second half and provided nothing in the MU penalty area. My biggest criticism of him is the number of times he unloads the ball to anyone even five yds away then stops moving slowing everything down. He has a lot of ability on the ball but no dynamism hence the lack of threat in the opposition's half.
