Which "Bompey" match are you referring to ??

Of course we did not play "Hoofball" all of the game BUT, we DID play Hoofball at the very time in the match that we should have been getting through their defence by playing FOOTBALL That is why I criticise Pardew, because if the Team, HIS Team ARE playing to his instructions ALL of the match, then he should NOT be Manager, and if they disregard his instructions, then that shows a breakdown in communications, and/or confidence in the Manager's esteem Hoofball right onto the head of the opposing centre half is NOT a great tactical ploy

Yes, the Italian Tank with reversing lights has yet to be equalled IMHO

You mean, instead of TELLING the players NOT to resort to it ???, You know TALKING during a Match, instead of waiting for excuse time afterwards ?? Ill informed ?? Perhaps I dream we resort to Hoofball in the second half. The opposing centre halves don't, they Lap it up I'm not ignoring the evidence mate, but I must admit, I do not wear rose coloured glasses

I'm glad you are blindly happy with everything as usual

Well, I've never before had to wear a neck brace after every match It would be touch and go whether Jonny Wilkinson could get a game

Agreed, but another take on it is this We have only played two games and are 3 points from Top, and 1 point from Bottom Come Saturday we could have only played three games, and be in the bottom three, with only 1 point Just another vista

As at now, there can be NO excuses Reasons for "why this or why that" can and are used be used as "cop out" excuses Our Salvation is History The Investment is History Our current Hoofball philosophy of Pardew is a REASON why we are Underachieving Not an Excuse, a REASON And the REASON is UNEXCUSABLE

It does make you laugh when you consider that a large percentage of players in the so called ENGLISH league are FOREIGNERS When you think of some of the hatchet men of Italian Football ( remember Gentile ) ?, makes even John Terry seem like Graham Norton

It is comforting to know that Pardew's only "tactic" to stop HIS Team playing long balls at the opposing defence, is to take Lambert OFF Why not TELL the Team, from pitchside, it's not Rocket Science ....... oh I suppose it is to Pardew

Agreed, exactly what I've been on about for ages We CAN play good football Pardew does not want to ... WHY NOT ???

Yet again you miss the point Reference was made that Saints had made a poor start, 1 point out of 6, but it was only August Fair enough, but Carlisle, Oldham, Charlton, Sheff Wed, have 7 out of 9, and it is only August for them as well We have dropped 5 Home points against not very good Sides, why can't you see that ??

So What !!!! It's AUGUST for the Teams at the TOP OF THE LEAGUE as well. THEY have done better than us. WHY ?? Excuse time over IMHO

That's right, you just keep on about how lucky we are to still have a Club, that bit has come as a real surprise to me Why don't YOU step back and really assess things on the pitch for what they really are ?? We played bettr FOOTBALL under Poortvleit, with little success because we had no "heavy" guns to score goals We now have "heavy" guns tghat CAN score, yet all Pardew is capable of telling the Team is to hoof it up into the opponents penalty area , where there are at least four big six footers to head tha ball away Yes I do remember Paine and Sydenham, and I would suggest that if you do not, then look up Saints scoring records when they were in the Saints Team, by using the very same tactic as I described in my earlier post IMHO, we are nowhere near as good as those teams were, yet we are in the same Division, the THIRD teer of UK Football Expectations are high this season ?? Well, at the moment the Team are not up to scratch, and it is pitiful to say that we are only Two/Three League matches into the season....... SO ARE EVERY OTHER TEAM Excuse time over IMHO

Oh for the likes of Paine and Sydenham WINGERS Pardew doesn't even know what they are Since Ramsey ditched them in 1966, and England luckily won the World Cup, no Manager has used wingers BUT, the most destructive move STILL is the winger going to the Goal line and Floating the ball BACK into the penalty area The most difficult ball for a centre half to deal with, Successful ?? Just ask Ron Davies Watching Pardew's Team now is worse than watching any Rugby fifteen, the ball is up in the air all the time Go back to playing FOOTBALL Pardew, because at present, you have NO tactics whatsoever

If he passes the ball along the ground instead of aimlessly pumping it uo in the air all the time ...... .... then Pardew will have got it wrong, because he won't fit in with the other 10 on the park

Who do you think is leaving then ???

" Rasiak on the move " ......... .... Now that IS something new

Esprit de corps, mon ami Rodney ........... you know it makes sense ....... or not

Down the "Hatch" !!!!!!!! Pun intended

It is Essential IMHO THIS season, it is expected, and people will come along to "Boost" a Third Division Club's gates But, should we fail, then the "euphoria" will be gone, (along with a lot of other things), and we will get very much lower gates People ARE following the Markus Leibherr Dream at the moment

I can only suggest that he lives up to his name, goes round in ever decreasing circles at the speed of light, and disappears up his own Orafice But first, a Question for him ? As an outsider, what do you think of the Human Race ???

I would have, but can't seem to access any ???

It was a tongue in cheek comment due to the seeemingly "neverending" Wonder Contract of a person who, IMHO, is the worst "player" ever to have worn Saints colors ( I wish I was that beleievable all the time )

Unfortunately, we cannot get rid of Pulis until we are back in the Prem (Pulis Snr negotiated the contract for his son )
