To be honest, if you were a neutral, you would have to concede the simple fact that (IMHO), had the Notts player not been sent off, the likelyhood was that Saints were heading for defeat I know that is scralege to all Rosy Specs, but, at that stage in the match, Saints were definitely NOT playing well Welcome as any Win is, it has to be viewed allowing for all circumstances We are NOT quite Invincible yet

I agree with the first part, but re the January bit, I think that will be too late Pardew should have strengthened in the close season, but for whatever reason DID NOT Come January, Adkins will be on a "catch up" mission, through no fault of his own

One major plus is the fact that we now have a Manager who has had to scrap it out with so called "smaller" Teams on not so very good pitches, ie, he has done it with Scu nthorpe twice

It matters not now what Pardew did or did not do The reality is that players were NOT replaced in the close season, and trying to patch it up now with Loans is NOT condusive to a balanced Squad As regards January, as I have already said, it will be Too Late Like it or not, if Cortese is serious about Promotion this season, it is in the Close Season that he needed to BUY some players He didn't, and by waiting for January, it will be back to "catch up" againi

Other than the fact that we ARE short of recognised Goalscorers, and the ones we do have are out of Form 2 points per game over 10 games would be a good return if we were scoring well. We aren't The injury to Lambert only illustrates just how "thin" our Squad really is, because it has NOT been adequately replenished

Carter was real Guly is real "Pardew named a number of targets" Did he ??? Do we know that for fact ??? Reality tells us he actually bought No-one Was that because the transfer kitty was/is closed until January ???, and that Pardew was simply going through the motions ??

He didn't have a Clue what he was watching, does not understand "Soccer", and has never watched it before Sounds good, more debt to be transferred from the US to the UK When will the useless Football Authority's wake up and see what has happened to the UK game No-one can ever call it the Engish League any more Heinz 57 more like

IMHO, the message is clear NO Permanent signings until January, and any more Loans are unlikely By then, we will be too far away from sixth, so, good Business Sense from Cortese ???

Taking a player on trial is in no way comparable to actually SIGNING someone, and, IMHO Pardew made no REAL attempt to get anyone Pardew did not want Waigo, and made that obvious As regards Antonio. Reading did nor really want to sell, and quoted Cortese circa £1M. Cortese (quite rightly IMHO ) said no, and Pardew threw the few remaining toys out of his Pram Bringing on Guly for FIVE minutes was nothing short of a Two Fingered Salute to Cortese IMHO, Pardew had lost interest and made it obvious to many that he wasn't really interested in bringing anyone in By the time that that was fully realised, it was too late for anyone to upgrade the Squad That is why the Squad is "lopsided", with not many "Striker" options

Yes he was "banging the drum" as you say BUT, he did SOD ALL about it did he not ??

The Evidence ???? We did not sign Papa or Antonio, and we have NOT replaced. Whichever way you look at it, we ARE Two strikers short from last term January ??? As I said, if he waits that long, we will be too far behind, and NOT in contention of the Top Six Reason to believe we can get Promotion ??? Only IF we have a Balanced Squad, who play consistently well. IMHO, we are NOT balanced because we are short of GOALSCORERS IMHO, for whatever the reason, the failure to address our LACK of Goalscorers is going to cost us January is Too Late to try to do what should have been done during the close season, and Cortese SHOULD have had his finger on the pulse regarding that

By the time that Cortese "allows" any decent signings, our season will be virtually over If no monies are available UNTIL January, we will be too far behind Sixth spot, let alone the Top Two If Cortese REALLY has Promotion as his No 1 priority, then from a BUSINESS point of view, he had better rethink, and Fast

This is not something that can be "blamed" on Cortese Lallana holds ALL the cards, does he A) Stay with Saints in the hope that we get Promoted to the CCC B) Take a lucrative deal with one of a number of Clubs, already in the CCC or even Higher ??? As I keep saying, we are, at the moment, STILL in the THird level of UK Football My own feeling is that he will take an offer from a Higher League Club, to further his career Unfortunately, no one can Guarentee that he would further his career with Saints In Division One, we carry very little Clout I'm afraid

Why not ??? The Council is very good at refurbishing pavements, only for the Gas or Electric Company's to come along and dig it up again to instal new Pipework/Cables

Almost Stoneham then, which was and still is, the most Logical place to put a Multicomplex Football Stadia

No, I've not seen any pics of the ex Mrs McCartney

I don't like the Chile shirt It looks like a Tampax worn by a woman with one leg shorter than the other

Liverpool's situation highlights two major issues Being taken over by someone does NOT mean a rosy future. It simply gives the Purchasers a free run to transfer all their debt from "other" projects, ie USA, to the UK, ie Liverpool This sis exactly the situation that Man U are in It also highlights YET AGAIN, what a stupid Transfer system we have in the UK, Buy anyone you like for as much as you like and Pay it off over the next hundred years, which is not much better than playing Monopoly ALL clubs in the Prem live outside their means, and the Premier League just turn a blind eye, Pompey anyone ??? One day, a really Big Club WILL go to the wall, and then perhaps, a more realistic approach may prevail Don't hold your breath though, The Prem, Football League, call them what you will, would not be able to enforce any new doctrine because the "Big" Clubs are now TOO Big, and would simply walk away

Greggs ????

You missed my irony To me, quite a coincidence that there would be TWO separate incidents, TWO separate glassings, and TWO sets of three people arrested Obviously, thsi sort of thing goes on every night

So, is this is a separate incident from the White House one, which also involved glassing and three people arrested ???

What is your interpretation of "Rat Arsed" then ??

IF you are completely rat arsed, how CAPABLE would you be with a broken bottle ??? I would have thought that if you got in that sort of state, you would not be capable of doing anything other than fall over and throw up ???

You're right, Pre season and this Season, Pardew didn't have a clue I doubt if you have even noticed that we have started to play FOOTBALL again ???

The FA invent new rules to apply to SFC alone I mean, look what they did to us when we were circa £130M in debt Not to mention the "no appeal" re the -10 points
