Best wishes and a happy new year to big Ron. Thanks Tim for all the news re Ron....Glad to hear he is doing ok. Good luck and best wishes to you and your better half.

Onwards and upwards...3 points today and we can begin to believe the future is bright and red and white. Or is it white with a red sash. Happy new year to you and all Saints.

The squad built up would/should have got us promoted and I thank Pards for that. But the point is now NA will get us promoted anyway....As he hopefully improves on what was before. 3 points today to start with please. My main point is we look forward now and achieve what we all want and the squad are definitely capable of. Happy new year to you and to the Saints.

If he is definitely staying and committed.. Further improved form/attitude. Cut our reckless tackles. Improve his mobility. Talent is there and as shown against Hudders could be good for squad/side... BUT.......

I have always thought that Hammond deep and Chappers attacking more had a far better balance for the sake of the side...

When you come to think of it...We have a very good squad put together by the club. Just needs a few of the squad to get fully fit and pull their fingers out and we could really do it.. Players coming in better than this squad will be hard to come by.. Over to you ..Our Nige....and of course Uncle Nic.

Plmouth Players. Chris Clark Mid field Connor Clifford (loanee from chelsea) Midfield Rory Paterson Striker if we had injuries up front? Craig Noone (very good) would be my only certainty but with Lallana, AOC and Dickson..would be a squad player to replace Holmes. All border line but frankly no better than what we have...

Met Claus several times and each time called him Jo and each time he corrected me. Claus thinks I am an idiot....... Personally they were specsaver moments..

The anti Pardew and Puncheon gang would continue with this tripe no matter what happened. We have lost a very good manager and a very good footballer. Whatever the reasons we must move on.. We now have , hopefully a good manager in Nigel Adkins and some very good footballers at the club..maybe one or two additions will help the cause. Why the hell peeps have to make up stories about pre season..training/fitness/attitude etc..what a load of Bolllixx You experts make me laugh and and cry at the same time....You made up your minds before Pards even got here. As for all the shiittte re . ...about NA before he got here.......Well hopefully he might pull it off...But then again Pards definitely would have done. As I said FFS lets move on...... NA is our Manager now and with the players and fans behind him ... we might just do it....PLEEEEEESE....

Cheers Shame.....reminded me so much of a cross between Snodgrass and Wes Hoolahan..... He is a very good player...but others out there.

Craig Noone..definitely...playing well and previously highly rated when on loan at Exeter. Winger or midfield player..Right age and definite tricky young player with good attitude...... ideal replacement for Punch..if as seems not coming back. Hope Noone has not been snapped up by Brighton.

Will need all the players...Barnard, Guly, Connolly and Lambert.. Long season and will all be of value at different times/different games.. Bear in mind injuries and suspensions.... Silly debate..strength in depth and variety of play. PS when Messi arrives..one of them will have to stand aside..

Well done NC. Well done our Nigel.. Well done Chappers, now more of the same Saints...more points pleeeeese.. PS Very well done Pards.....You were magic..

The rumour that Lord Rupert would return and be our saviour with some Dutch magic...

Matt Taylor....Recently back from injury.. A handful at set pieces ..as stated watch out at corners.

I have had words with my Gran regarding her language at St Marys.

My grandad said you were a good supporter in the Milton end in the 40s and 50s as well.. Happy new year Uncle Nick..

Harley has a very good left peg and a good shot..good on ball and plays the little triangles very well . Noble was at Brizzle..very good in the middle of the park but has had serious leg injury..on his way back in fits and starts but we should control this game and win comfortably...hopefully. Sercombe and Dunne have been playing well in Midfield.. From what I have seen Saints will be too strong and will win..

Ex Manager Paul Tisdale at game v Huddersfield. No doubt impressed with the mighty Saints. Exeter have a reasonable side but we should win 3-1 or 4-1. Krysiak (Jones) in Goals. They will play three centre backs with two over lapping full backs. Tully RB and Goldbourne. LB Duffy(ex Pompey) Taylor(good in air but no legs like Jaidi)Jones B. ( SUB..Archibald Henville, previously sent off at St Marys) two in middle.. young lads Sercombe and Dunne (both runners.. hustle and bustle..Spiderman will have to up his game like against Hudders..dunne 19 yrs ex Arsenal) with Harley in the hole, linking with front two. This lad is good on the ball if given chance will link play well and shoot from edge of box at will. All three midfielders box to box with high work rate...Cozic as sub. There is another midfielder if fit and on his game who is coming back into the side..like Harley very good..David Noble Strikers x two should read as Logan (no legs..put Jaidi on him re air threat) and Cureton but Nardiello or O'Flynn as cover. As before watch Taylor up for corners..

I am told we are world class.. Personally, I feel we have some way to go yet.. Win our next 3/4 games without fail and I will also start wearing my rose tinted glasses. Happy New Year fellow Saints fans. Come on Nigel you can do it...

Well done Saints..Thank you Our Nigel... World Champions on the rise again. More of the same against Exeter and Dand G Sorry Dagenham. Come on Spiderman ..more of the same ..if you want to stay........

I wonder if Chalky White knew he was coming... He once said to me up the dell car park, " No one gets in this car park without a pass..no one not even Kevin Keegan.";) He must have had an inkling or was very much ITK... God Bless him. PS Years before he joined us..

WE on this forum made Rupes into a Lord... Surely WE can do the same for Sir David after all his charity work. PS After a game at St Marys he stayed for about half an hour outside on the concourse.. signing autographs....The man is a legend

Happy xmas Pops... Thanks for helping skinny with the phots....You are a top man Hope we at least get in the play offs.. Santa promised me promotion.. no matter how we go up.. or we go back to the drawing board..

Me too....Merry xmas Mero and Mack... Not forgetting Corp Ho ..A Saints fan really...spending too much time under cover in the Blu Lagoon at Portsea.
