****ing embarrassing garbage. English cricket is the best example of muddled thinking you will ever find. Collingwood has proved that he is not a captain an many occasions, yet we appoint him. KP is out so do we replace him with another hitter like Napier, no we put the ****ing cabbage patch doll in the side. Do we play Dimi who keeps it tight and can smash quick runs in at the death, no we ****ing don't.... Where was Prior by the way ?

I'd like an answer to this too. Mind you, you'd have to be some special kind of ****wit to buy something with that level of debt.

He's played about half a season for us and been, in the main, sh!te. I think 400k is a fair approximation of his worth. I really hope that him and BWP are nowhere near a Saints shirt next season, nothing to do with off-the-field stuff... but because they are both sh!te with p!ss poor attitudes. It's time to despense with prima donnas who are not as good as they think they are and move on with some honest hard working players who are actually going to give a sh!t.

My feelings exactly. Build it up slowly, be patient....

I love you all too.... pint and FA Cup Final for me....

Good news. I really don't give a flying **** if they haven't got mega millions to throw at it. Would much rather we build it up the traditional way and attempt to get stronger gradually. We've had, 5 years of complete sh!t so I'll be patient...

No, he's not a 'back to goal' striker. Not physically strong enough. Needs the ball in front of him whcih is why he improved when we dropped him back to attacking midfield.

With few exceptions, players want to play at the best level they can. McGoldrick proved he can play at CCC level and next year he will be better. Good luck to him if he goes. he still can;t kick a ball properly though...

This starting post is post of the year and te first decent thing worth reading on here for ages.

I like him... he's very open and honest and he's trying his hardest with the difficult job he's got. He also talks a lot of sense. Compare that to Poortvliet who spoke a load of ******** and Burley who talked a load of nothing and didn;t seem to give a shiite. However, I reckon a new owner will bin him.

Stuart Ripley... 4 years deal for a man who couldn't walk, let alone run. Given the context of the finances though and the line being fed us at the time, Schneiderlin is right up there.

I think McG has taken 5 pens this season and I think he's 3 out of 5 which is not good enough. What is for definite though is that all his penalties have been crap and it's been keepers going the wrong way that have given him the 3 succeses. none have been in the corner, none have been hit hard. In short, he's a crap penalty taker. Likewise Surman on free kicks... he can;t even ****ing kick a dead ball.

What conversations (if any) happened between Barclays and Lowe before the deadline for admin? You would have thought that Lowe would have sought assurances that the plug would not be pulled until the end of the season. Maybe Barclays said they would support the club as long as we didn't go over the overdraft limit. Either way it's the last a catalogue of incredible **** ups. I guess we'll never know.

I agree with you 100%, hence I still have an ST and I'll be there. we have to look beyond the present (relegation), the immediate past (Lowe - Wilde - Poortvliet), the soon to be past (Wotte, half the players) and think of the future and hope there is one.

Wotte never had a chance. He's not bad but he's not what we needed. It's unfair to totally write him off given what he inherited but he has to go.

Bart, easily good enough and I can judge him having actually seen him play.

Mikey-boy.... just ignore the ****ing twaat. It really isn't worth it.... the facts are simple, Pearson kept us up and united the fan base and the crowds went up. Lowe came in and destroyed the fan base and embarked on a mad experiment. We're going down... none of this is Lowe's fault though. As an aside, I for one, renewed my ST based on NP and Crouch being there and I would not have done if I'd known Lowe was coming back. What would the crowds have been had all the ST renewals been done knowing Lowe was coming back.

Well done Nigel - you are a top man, a football man who should really still be at SFC and would be if that complete ****ing moron hadn't come back.

If you believe the stats of points won per game - we'd be relegated already and fighting Charlton for last place if JP was still here.

How difficult can it be to arrange a price for the club in the CCC and a price in L1.

Dyer was and always will be a waste of space. Getting 500k and keeping the club alive and getting rid of him is fantastic. I see no down side.

Just have to look at the stats. he should never be given Man U games to referee

who gives a flying one? your lord and master has gone. why bother giving everyone an opportunity to call him names again

He was the main reason we played so well today. I am amazed if anyone thinks otherwise. He won everything in the middle that was there to be won, he is the on-field captain of the side and they all look up to him, Also, bonus today was that all his deliveries into the box from free kicks were excellent and really in the right areas. yes, he is limited and can look cumbersome but he's exactly what we need right now. It's a team game and it takes all sorts...

Davis 8 - little to do, great save in the 93rd minute James 7 - looks more the part with every game. A must keep for next season whatever league we are in. Saeijs 9 - Has a lot of ability and played superbly today. Not content with just clearing it - he wants to play it on the ground. Perry 7 - Solid display keeping Kuqi quiet. Skacel 7 - It's a waste of his ability being at LB but he does it well Wotton 8 - won everything there was to be won, not so clever with the ball but we all know that anyway. He's the on field captain and we need him there. Lallana 8 - best game for 6 months, made direct runs and was always a threat to Palace Surman 6 - not up to the speed of the game, contributed little as a result. McGoldrick 6 - did **** all until the goal, but what a goal.... Wright-Phillips 7 - a decent display in parts but he has no brain (flick ons to no one) and no composure in front of goal. Euell 6 - Put himself about and got sod all off the ref. Unlucky to be subbed I thought. ------------- Saganowski 4 - didn't contribute much at all Schneiderlin 6 - did his job with some nice touches.
