got my tickets - but i wanted to say all the best mate, i hope everything is ok in the end.

denial probably, they've been in denial for a long time now....just delaying the inventiable...can only do that for so long..

i think they're screwed...

which is kind of good in a way, at least they don't have that ''oh well, never mind'' attitude which has haunted us for so many years. ''oh well, we lost, but we played well! so it doesn't matter'' - i'm sure it wasn't' like that, but you get what i mean - if they're not as accepting of poor results, then eventually we'll win most weeks.

just listening to his interview on saints tv - and he looks different, coming across a tad nervous, looking like he's ****ting himself tbh when questioned about Nicola's comments. - acting very defensively. trust me, he does not want to fail here, i don't want him to fail either. He's in a position where he has to rebuild his reputation, so failing here is not an option for him.

i think barnard is cup tied - if he is, i'd go with Papa up top with lambert...

talking about mk dons...they're without some of their best players, including easter (their top scorrer) and obviously...puncheon - nice ploy by us there. but we still need to be carefull, they come into the game with no pressure and will attack for fun....that's why i'd bring back Harding into the team, mills has done ok...but i think we need experience in this game.

what can you do if the player doesn't want to drop down? As was the case with danns. personally, based on our position, we did as well as we could have done. No one disagrees with fonte - class signing (suprised he came), same with puncheon. barnard - seaborne are good players at this level, but are at the right age to be able to step up another level.

i think that's confirmed your status as a WUM.

what are you on about now? I think you'll find that Luton took 30k+ to wembley and enjoyed that victory more than anything they've had to endure over the past 3 seasons. what am i asking luton then?

but we won't get to the final of the FA Cup tbh, in a realistic world - so the JPT offers a realistic chance for fans of this club to get to go to wembley - no one would pass that up, whether it's the tin pot trophy or whatever.

It makes a massive difference if you are there, trust me - you can form your own opinion for a start, without having to pull together everyone elses. Personally i think alot is being made of our performances of late, they haven't been as dominant as earlier in the season, but we're still not really loosing games. We're going through a bit of a lean-spell performance wise (all teams do, you can't keep up 3-1 wins all season) but once we get puncheon playing regularly i think things will change, he's the sort of player we've been crying out for.

tbh alot of people post the same amount if we win, lose or draw - there is as much to talk about in any situation. It seems to me you just come to life when there is something to moan about, i don't think anyone will disagree with me there.

i made that point earlier, but apparently there isn't as much to say when we're doing well....well no there isn't, if it doesn't suit your agenda.

it's not on TV - they chose the leeds v carlisle one, as there is a potential for a big upset there. we're on tv on Saturday btw? ITV...12:30.

should hopefully be a sell out, only 1000 tickets left apparently.

i don't think charlton will go up tbh, they'll just drift away as the season goes on and lose out in the playoff semis . - What the future holds for them after that, god knows. I don't think they'll be much of a force in this league next year. I don't think we need to spend much more money in the summer though, as long as we keep the core of this team together - maybe put a decent bid in for a central midfielder, and get another striker on loan but that'll be it for me.

no relations - notice the e on the end

crap - good point, thinking he was cup tied...but that's for sat. ok, perry out and fonte in.

shocking - heard it on the news earlier http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/staffordshire/8502701.stm according to this, the guy who potentially did it has been arrested though.

but there are poor pitches, and then almost unplayable pitches. according to Tisdale, the match nearly didn't go ahead because of the state of it.

Davis Thomo - Jaidi - Perry - Harding Antonio - Morgan - James - Lallana Lambert - Papa imo...

leeds are in worse form than us FWIW - and norwich also lost a game...! teams have dips - we're having one at the moment. (not so much in results, more so in performances) if we were to have any chance this season, we could not have a single dip - we needed to motor on all year, but with a new team and a squad being built - the chances of that were always going to be slim.

you're spot on, i've enjoyed this season. People got carried away with that run in November, but the reality was we would have had to keep that form up to be within the pack now - that wasn't going to happen, we didn't have the depth of squad back then. I'm just enjoying this season because i know we will get better from here - and anyone who doesn't' see that is a bit silly. and i think it's something like 2 defeats in 26 games. shocking form, i agree

No offence alpine - but why do you moan about the stick you get? Some of it is OTT...I agree…but I can see why people react the way they do. You are prominent on every single thread if we drop points or lose a game. Some of your points are valid, granted - but people don't need to see it said over and over again. If we win and have a good run, you'll say well done etc - but that's it, you have no real input after that. Why? You seem to come to life when things are out there to moan about...yet sneak into the background when things are going well. I don't get it - and most other posters don't, which is why you sometimes get the stick you do.
