Listen – we clearly have different opinions and expectations, that is fine – this forum would be rubbish without it. What I do object to is you making crap up! - Where have I or DD questioned or said we are against a 'commonsense' approach? - Where have we said that this must happen in a few weeks? All I/we have said and will continue to say is we expect to compete this season (AP has said top 2, so he agrees) I/we have also said that we expected/would have liked more movement in the transfer market by now. Keep up or back off – just don’t make up **** to justify your opinion.

he was appointed on the 17th - thats 11 days

Yep, he said “Top 2 is the target”

Careful - you'll be told to go support Man Utd or Man City. Saints fans arent allowed to get carried away......

excellent

You can start the 1st thread then! I cant see that many would be happy to 'just stay up' infact i'd be very ****ed off.

I agree

Prepare for some "This is a rebuilding season" and "Ill be happy just to stay up" threads within 2 months

actions speak louder than words

Why is acting quickly necessarily ‘panic buying’?

Hope you're right, but in my opinion we need 4 or 5 more players. I can see Rasiak going and John is now being linked again with Crystal P. Saga is off (at some stage) and still no news on Murty. I don't share your confidence i'm afriad but happy to be proven wrong.

AP would have known when he took the job that time was not on his side; he very quickly (within 2 days) came out and said the squad needs additions. Having identified the weaknesses added to our minus 10 start I just thought that perhaps more would have happened by now. AP has said that he’s been non-stop on the phone…..I am not blaming AP for the lack of additions, just concerned that the team is no where near ready.

Where has anyone said or suggested they want everything instantly? You're talking crap!!

I'm glad - in all honesty I read 9's rambling and I dont think even he knows what he's saying.....so well done if you understood and extra points if you agree!!

Where have I said that I expect the whole team transformed? And where have I 'blamed' AP? Honestly some people on here will just make up sh1t to fit there agenda and will never be happy. All I have said is following the excitement of the new owner and manager appointment, I expected the wave of optomism to continue with one or two more signings by now. Dont put words into my mouth

AP has been here a week and a half and in that time we have signed Harding (who is an unknown) we have no backroom staff and no significant signings. Saints have sold/lost seven 1st team squad players since end of last season – we have bought in just one. In terms of position and preparation we are bottom of the league!

What a stupid comment- how does me wanting/expecting more make me not suited to supporting Saints? Did you start supporting Saints as you decided doing nothing and accepting mediocrity was your ‘thing’?

doh!

Verbal Kint? In all seriousness, the 'usual suspects' are right to question the speed of response from Saints. If nothing else, the optomism I felt 2 weeks ago is slowly leaking away. We need a boost (or 4) to bring back some euphoria.

Spotted by a chap on 606! Signing or just visiting friends?

When will you be nervous? tomorrow, Friday, next week? Hope AP has a big, exciting signing up his sleeve or a number of people will soon start to get very nervous imo. looks likely we will lose players - not sign them!

You getting restless yet?

good course! it's a hoot

Take a look at Pilchards posting history and you will see he has "sneaky feelings" every few days - his success rate is one to monitor and arguably 'too good to be true'. The only conclusions I can draw is that Pilchards is Alan Pardew. I will be watching Pilchards like a hawk from now on - I will report back when I can
