Kingsbridge Saint

No injuries to key players - except maybe Antonio at Reading who we might have been about to sign. Boy do we need a win Saturday.

No - a palindrome is something that reads the same backwards as forwards - like A Man A Plan A Canal Panama Don't care about the Bolton game - just no injuries please.

If they fail to fulfil the terms of the CVA they should be liquidated immediately: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/aug/23/west-brom-marc-wilson Cheating 6astards

Looks a decent prospect and if he does what it says on the tin will be a fantastic addition and perfect alongside Schneiderlin. Nice one Pards.

Four tickets now allocated - myself and Bright Spark and Christian Cook and his Mrs were first in!! Christian emailed me to say he had problems registering on here (email account difficulties) but wanted to go.

Just give Reading close to what they want for Antonio, or go find someone else who can do the same job. And do it quick because without pace and creativity we are going nowhere fast.

P1$$ poor preparation coupled with a bit of bad luck with Lamberts injury and opposition goalkeepers playing out of their skin. Very frustrating. If we don't win at Rovers how much pressure is going to be on Pardew? It's all coming apart at the seams. Sign Antonio ffs. He makes things happen across the team.

Pace, impact off the bench, tenaciousness, goals, all things strangely absent from this season so far. Sure, we can do without him. No worries. What did the Romans ever do for us?

They really do think they are special don't they. Hope the FL tear into the fish forkers and tell them to shove their repeated requests for dispensations right up their ar$es.

The fact that we collapse completely and utterly when we concede a goal suggests the team is a bunch of pussies with no heart. This starts and ends with the manager. Pardew simply has to get this sorted, and he might start by having a word with his captain.

Pardew needs to lay it on the line. He either leads by example on the pitch or he loses the armband and probably his starting place. Seriously underperforming and needs to raise his game. We simply can't afford another passenger in midfield when we have a player like Schneiderlin who likes to play tempo.

just ****ing sign Antonio before the season goes up in smoke.

Not expecting us to win every game - just A game would be nice for a start

Who gives a stuff about Saints Reserves v Bolton Reserves in the 'Ressies Cup'. I hope we lose so we can concentrate on the league. I really don't care about the Ressies Cup or the FA Cup this season. JPT maybe - we are holders and can win that again.

Why are we so spineless when we concede a goal? Who are the leaders out there ffs? Why is Pardew so clueless about how to use substitutes or alter the tactics to change a game? When are we going to sign Antonio, and if we're not - what is the plan to break down sides who park the bus for a draw? How much longer are we going to carry Hammond? We already have one walking pace/sideways crabbing water carrying midfielder in Schneiderlin and can't afford another lifeless deadhand alongside him. Can Barnard hit a cows ass with a banjo? If we can't answer these questions we are walking into a very disappointing season.

Enjoyable first gathering chaps. Enjoyed singing 'Oh When the Roar' and 'Le Tiss, Le Tiss' when the Roar Number 7 spudded that sitter into the keepers arms from 2 yards. Upsidedownsaint has bunged us 4 free tickets for the Roar v Wellington game Friday night 8pm kick off (27th August). I'm going - first come first served for a free ticket on this thread. Collect at Kitty O Sheas from about 6:00 Friday evening. Shirts on again of course. Very interested that there is one of us in that number in Brisbane that runs a restaraunt.....looking forward to meeting him. COYR. WIFM. Go The Roar.

Not good enough. Not good enough by a long way. Pardew must be cracking a sweat.

Bump. COYR.

Looking good for tomorrow night then - will be strange watching the Roar when my heart will be firmly in Southampton at midnight.

Wtf is going on with the KPB transfer? The Genoa - Milan loan thingy looks very dodgy indeed. Hope there's a proper audit trail and everything checks out. How was the 5M paid? In used fivers in a brown paper bag under Blackfriars Bridge? Or is it just intangible loan notes or something that can't be verified so it looks like the terms of the CVA have been met?

bump

I reckon there'll be about half a dozen at the pub - quite a few can't get there due to work commitments. Might be a few more, who knows. Upsidedownsaint is inside the ground with 6 so he won't be at Kitty O' Shea's before anyway

Pompey picked up any injuries yet? Surely just around the corner.....

For those getting tickets before the game to get the free public transport in - buy a ticket for the Caxton Street End behind the goals. That's the main area for the Roar fans but there is always loads of space off to the sides and we won't need to be in our allocated seats anyway.
