Why did you not take up your season ticket to arsenal? (i think it was them..) Every single post you make is complaining or criticizing any aspect of this football club - i don't understand what the hell you want from this club? If you want pardrew out - who exactly replaces him? Go on..enlighten me. I expect you're questioning Cortese and ML too - wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Notts county fans should be very nervous. They just seem to be a middle eastern plaything, as soon as they get bored (which they will, should they hang around in L2/L1 for more than 3 years) then they'll be left hung and dry.

damn. (bloody sky..!) we could have had a decent gate for this tie, i'd imagine this will knock a few thousand off.

Absolutely agree. Im not getting too carried away just yet. I remember these threads poped up when we went on a 5 match winning streak in our playoff season ''We are better than our relegated premiership side..'' etc. Still a long way to go before this lot can be compared to any past team!

Explain this then Skates... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1219527/EXCLUSIVE-Portsmouth-facing-financial-ruin-unpaid-tax-bill.html You cannot pay the TAX up front, and you are you still trying to stagger payments, why would you do that if the guy who now owns you is full of cash? It still stinks, something isn't right.

+1 i agree with this and it annoys me when people say ''We just need to survive by 1 point'' that would mean we're still loosing with regularity in L1 ffs...we shouldn't be anywhere near the bottom half of the table with this lot. ..and we won't be.

Jesus, that would screw us over if he went. You can see the difference he's made so far. I'm sure if it's serious from Wycombe though, he'd love to dive back into management.

Made his first app. against Yeovil in the carling cup, back in 2005. He did v well - so GB threw him into the next league game (we didn't do v well and he struggled a bit) then he wasn't seen again under the GB regime...on the bench a few times, but that was it.

Agree - although a point at Oldham and a win v MK Dons at home would be a good return for me. Oldham will be a v v hard game, they're flying at the moment....

It's been a pretty good day for us! still just the 1 pt behind wycombe too...and brighton threw away a 2-0 lead at yeovil...

It's amazing really, at how quickly he's fixed us up if you think about it. He saw our weaknesses within a few weeks and had fixed them in a month. At swindon we looked like we were going to conceded with almost every free kick or set peice - but trotman has fixed that. Pard's brought him in to be the 'dominant'' header of the ball - and boy is he that.

Credit where it's due for Wotton. a good professional, who digs in and does the ugly side of the game whilst the advanced lads get on with their passing. It makes a huge difference to the confidence of a team when they know they've got a back 5 really.

Well southend fans rate us. ''At the end of the day Southampton are a Championship side and play like one, their movement, ball control and passing was amazing to watch and they knew we couldn't play at their pace so they hounded our guys as soon as we had the ball resulting in long balls in hope'' blimey. haven't read oppo views like that in what feels like decades. Love it.

10th/11th Nov.

cracking that we've got it at home....tough game all the same though. has this competition ever had a draw like that?

Southern Draw... MK Dons v Northampton Leyton Orient v Hereford Swindon v Norwich Saints v Charlton

Northern Draw... Leeds v Grimsby Accrington/Shrewsbury v Bury Bradford City v Portvale Chesterfield v Carlisle

I'd go with that...

Just about to start on Soccer AM..... We could face any of these.... Northampton Town MK Dons Leyton Orient Hereford United Norwich City Swindon Town Charlton Athletic

Jaidi is still a top half championship defender, still surprised we managed to get him if im honest! Would do a job for anyone up there.

he's a plank! obviously their midfield is half decent, but didn't we boss the midfield show in the first half up there? who cares though - we all believe our midfield is very good for this level.

http://www.footballforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=224541&page=2 some more views if anyone is interested. what a **** that Addick guy is though.

''Southampton won this game purely because of their fantastic midfield, best in this division i've seen in sometime. Every pass was picture perfect, expansive and inventive... Our defence couldn't handle it. Lallana is a wonderful prospect.'' well that's nice to read, it's been a long time since we've had any sort of midfield.

They were praising Hammond on the radio too. My favorite player at the minute. He's everything you want in a midfielder...

If you look at the bigger picture, having the disciplines installed in the defensive side of the game - and having a defensive unit to trust, has allowed us to be more flamboyant going forward - which is why the goals are coming.
