ottery st mary

Agreed we set off with one purpose at Oldham....and to be fair we also played on a rec at Dagenham... Same attitude from the off at Exeter..early ish goal, for us that is.. 3 or 4-1 to the Saints hopefully.....Hoping like you that Saints turn up and our Nigel has his formation,tactics and subs all right on the night.. AND my mate Spiderman wants to play and does not worry about getting his shorts muddy.

You called me Jeff? I with you mate.. PS I am looking forward to seeing Coe and Ovett run at St Marys..

Are we nearly there yet Dad?

Don't get me started on his IMAGE RIGHTS in his contract....

Do you mean our Ryan Smith now performing for Barcelona...You know the world class one with a bit of Dutch in him.....

It was not only the 3 year contract it was the millions on his wages... Was this some sort of Masonic insider dealing? Sorry wrong forum..... PS Absolute farce and a stitch up if ever there was......Scandalous......

How far is it Dad?

It is quite clear that this lad is improving ( according to the Hatters , who dropped him to the bench) and given a couple more years at Stockport.. could lead to him being a Pro footballer....

The old ploy of stirring it before the game and putting off the player who was just going to score a hatrick against Utd.

Good to do our best and get a good result/performance.. Exeter is a must for three points please Saints. Their pitch is already very, very heavy and easily described as a pudding etc. They state it does not suit their own game...but like a lot of our opponents will want to bring the game right down to their own tempo and not ours.. No doubt it will be heavily watered to retain the pitch as a glue pot and in a similar state as last season.. There will be some very heavy legs on 1st Feb...

Carry the balls out for warm up..

Just checked and as usual you are right again...as always.

He is that good I am surprised Barcelona are not on the Case..

I think Forecast was part of the settlement payments to us..ie much reduced..... Was he not valued at 5 mil by Spurs wide boyzzz;)

I felt that they took advantage of our poor financial state...but agree that is business.. They gave us a counterfeit footballer in Forecast . Someone failed to do their homework. Both deals were heavily weighed against us regarding the add ons...We could have done better in theoriginal deal. As stated previously not knowing what is in the player contracts...means as usual I could well be talking out the other end (remembering their ages /contracts etc) No disrespect to our Chairmen at the different times of contract and settlements...I felt we had been done over..or fleeced. Let us hope we get a good deal with AOC when it happens.

Agree....Hopefully we don't allow the Arsenal/Spurs (Bale, Walcott) type deals fleece us again.. As proved Shearer went far too cheaply...Not knowing what is in these player contracts/clauses can be what we are not made aware of..You know what I mean , hopefully. Whatever happens we come out of this January transfer period in good condition...So far so good... More points after a good showing against United please. WIFM

Sums it up for me... Looks like he will be on a different bus to our set of wheels..... Unless loaned back..if that is allowed by AW..

Sorry...Sick as a parrott lately...etc etc A few more points in our next few league games will sort me out.... WIFM

You are probably right....Except when he does play well I will give him credit for it..On a few match reports. I accept that there is some talent but having watched him many times he flatters to deceive.. Many matches where we really could do with him.. Played in the wrong position for me..Deep he is Lazy and far too casual. I will have a good look on Saturday in FA cup and again on 1st Feb at Exeter..Will give you my honest opinion... I really do hope he proves me wrong and he plays a good midfield role and helps the team gain three points at Exeter. Will be the first to praise him if that does happen.. As for a thing against him....Probably just my first view of him and many games thereafter where he has gone missing for big chunks of the game, no challenges, when he should, .. if he tackles his tackling is poor, giving away many fouls,..heading...non existent, very poor positional play.. Windows......I know you love your French football(ers) and always supported Spiderman... You, as a coach probably more knowledgable than me.. I personally think he should have progressed a lot more than he has..The odd cameo role does not do it for me.. Nothing personal against this lad as I want him to do it for Saints..We need him at his very best every game if possible. You and Papa Shango may even be right....The Manager plays him ...So what do I know.... As a supporter/spectator...Personally not my choice in this vleague or the style Saints play most weeks...

Agent ottery ...has an opinion but obviously not as good as yours fella... PS His Auntie assures me he is a lovely boy but very misunderstood..

I am convinced Anthony Pulis would have been a top star.. if only he had come through our youth set up.. He may have left it too late...starting his football education at Saints so late in his career.

You know we will be up against it when the Premier League ref walks out the tunnel with a Man Utd shirt on.... I've changed from 4-1 Saints win to a 2-1 Saints win to allow for the biased ref and the extra ten minutes he will give Sir Alex.. SORRY FORGOT..... WIFM

Bearing in mind that to play him in the Blackpool game was strange.. To sub him was even stranger when AOC had run out of steam...and Punch was effectively covering two positions and helping the full back.... If it is totally true what fans hear or want to hear then off load and why the hell bring him back... Some of this does not make sense to me.. But then again I have not heard the full story and never will..But then again I have learnt that posters do tell porkies sometimes.. Personally I would have played/subbed AOC more astutely and utilised Punch to the benefit of the team using his undoubted talent. If we have another winger like Paine, Mathews, Finney, Bale or Walcott then I will be as pleased as Punch..

Rumour true or totally over the top..Peeps have made their mind up.. Management have their scapegoat for short comings or the player is impossible to handle... I have heard the other side of the coin where he has been messed about and many false promises.. Not sure of the truth ..but feel he is a very talented player when you look at some of the half hearted players who seem to have an attitude of play, when I want to play.. in our side..

Sorry that got rather mixed up.....Those reports you have described relate to Tranmere... Apparently we were ten times worse...
