David Beckham Sorry forgot Michael Owen

derry This is why I idolise you.. Heard that we had signed a million pound striker at the weekend but obviously no news in view of what has happened. Begin to wonder if this was the straw that broke the camels back..Someone else coming in and another leaving.. WIFM

Bring back Dave Merrington

Paul Tisdale would fit the coaching unit in place..... Was on the short list last time round ... Others in the same mould that come to mind.. as mentioned Howe and O'Driscoll... All points to German, Swiss or Italian though... WIFM

FF for Manager with derry and Prof as his number two and three.....Always thought these three scally wags new what they were talking about... WIF..Duncan.. Gis a job please Duncan.. Will Paul Tisdale be asked a second time?

Top Manager.........Thank you Pards for some great times.... Also thank you to Downes and Murdoch.... Dean Wilkins now is he staying ready for the arrival of Ray ....nah can't see Butch leaving Chelsea... Good Luck Pards..

The above statement sums it up for me... Yes I am shocked and bewildered but then again I have been around long enough to know that after my initial reaction the sun will shine again... I will admit to some of you plonkers.. that peeps like me may well have egg on our pretty little faces.. but life goes on and I will still be there supporting the mighty Saints. Some of the main axe grinders may well have a grin on their smug little faces but hey ho in the main they are Saints fans....I think? Fluuuucking hell wot is goin on ....... Anyway moving on...... Who is the new manager....... WIFM ps Forgot to say a BIG ...THANK YOU Alan Pardew..

Let us win the League and the JPT pleeeese.

Prof Have a word with Sir Alan about his breathing between sentences....FFS Luv your cabaret act by the way... WIFM WIFM

alps When the big guns comment ....I always bow to their greater knowledge... If you are saying like B Rabbit it is probably 6/10- so far..then you are probably both right.. I am sure Pards is striving for greater things.. For Rabbit I attend as many games home and away as possible and have been since BC I am sure we all want Sir Alan and his team to do well... Keep up the good work and reach for the stars our Saints.. WIFM

Come on Pards...We are all behind you...Most 9/10- so far Pards.......Must work harder to get the full 10-.....Wot you doin Boss. To be honest with the Larf about how poor old Pards got pre season wrong .. I am sure he will be blamed for our injuries.......Wrong ointment Alan...Do buck up old son.. Mind you his weather forecast is not really up to scratch......etc etc.. So you see Pards you will struggle on ever reaching the 10-/10....Good try son.. WIFM WIFM Sorry Alan persuaded to drop mark to 8/10-...

Squad, Tactics, Opposition, Opposition Grounds (Exeter will flood their pitch again) Variety, Injuries, Loss of Form, Personal issues,Wags, Weather, Pards enemies in the stand and This Forum and our resident experts.....You know who you are... etc etc... So much more for poor old Pards to think about ..How does he cope..... Thank goodness he has derry and the Prof as support team. WIFM

Sooooo correct ...

Have faith..Pards is well on his way to being a Saints legend.... We are well on the way to being a very useful side.....Consistency will come and Pards is putting together a very nice squad... Another good signing on the arizon... Lawrie Mac was ok some of the time but Pards is our future.... WIFM

derry In reality the truth was that Lawrie Mac was not really a good football coach or tactician as such..England was a perfect example not all Graham Taylors fault. But Mac did a lot of good things for Saints..persuading big signings..motivation etc.. Yes he was a man Manager and a good motivator. I understand on most matches the senior players..ala Channon, Ball etc decided tactics or change of same.. Many different characters in management.... Glad to see you are slowly coming round to Pards great abilities.. Mac like Pards was ultimately responsible for the end product..but the players and fans were a great help for the end product.... WIFM

Teetotal...Well most of the time.... Looking forward to a great season.....Hopefully.. WIFM

Just a very happy bunny after a great Saints win....I know you and most on here feel the same... Many better days to come.....Hoping the others come on board.... We are definitely getting promoted through lots of hard work, skill, team work etc etc Not forgetting our great leadership that will be proven as the season progresses.. WIFM

Ron I reckon he is following you.. Likewise Ron.... say after me ... Well done Pards... you can do it... By the way I think derry is a luvverly sort of Dave......But his football tactics/knowledge is woeful.. Now Pards..Top Class..in fact TOP Manager.. You know it is true Sir.. Regards ottery who is a font of all football knowledge.....So you naughty boyzz come on board the Pards machine...

Dave I know you are a real Saints supporter...I just think you are being led up the garden path by some really naughty boyzz...think for yourself... Say after me....VERY WELL DONE PARDS.....I know you want to... WIFM

hypo I totally agree...but some of these boyzz just go on about how poor Pards is supposed to be.. I am personally of the opinion that he is one of the better managers around and just right for the Saints.. Yes..everyone entitled to their opinion but derry, up and away and weston give the impression that Pards is without football knowledge or tactical nous...very much over the top... But then again I behaved in the same pathetic way about The Dutch boyzz and Rupes.....On second thoughts I was right for a change.. I will cease my challenge in respect of the little axe grinders group and leave it to Pards and King Nic to prove them wrong... WIFM:)

Give it a rest mate...Support the Saints and Pards is a Saint...Apart from a personal thing about Pards...you can still give some credit where it is due....surely...or maybe you and your little group know better....

Go on tell us how Pards fluuuucked up prof......derry your twin is still whiiiinging on about how Pards is the worst Manager in the world..Go on tell us please prof. Nothing personal prof but you are a one sometimes...Support the Saints..

i am sure Pards is very interested in what you, up and away and others like you have to say.......I take it you do not like our great Manager.. Sorry fella..you have proved time and again you have no idea about football and have a personal axe to grind regarding Saints and our two great leaders Boss Pards and King Nic. derry.... give it a rest with your continual personal attacks. Or you could tell us all why you have a thing against Pards. Be honest matey. Nothing personal...... WIFM

Ethel the tea lady only ever speaks to me........oooops!

Every time i GET THROUGH TO MY PERSONAL SAMARITAN OPERATOR SHE PUTS ME ON HOLD UNTIL SHE HAS FINISHED TALKING TO ALPS. excuse the capital letters........Er indoors states my fingers are never in the right place at the right time..hence the capital ERROR. WIFM
