Thorpe-le-Saint

I'm not even sure if the players can be arsed tonight, and I wouldn't blame them!

W00T? Goal for Swindon, great goal apparently.

I imagine he just accessed Saints Player!

It's insurance, I did it during our relegation year...perhaps it was my faut we got releagted?

He may only have had 5mins against Rovers but he looked ****ing awful.

He is at SMS according to Solent...

"Theres only one Alan Pardew"...not suprised.

Working fine for those with Socialist principles

Nope, I'll listen anyway though!

That is because the Itchen is closed!!

I thought EXACTLY the same!

I think we'll get turned over tonight, 3-0.

IF true, what a step backwards that would be, but it would be classic Saints!

No, if you had read what I had written properly dune you would have seen that I was disagreeing with Ian Smith's evaluation of the legacy of Empire; nowhere did I mention that hasty withdrawals in Africa/Asia was his 'fault'. Ian Smith may have been correct and a slow withdrawal may have spared Africa some of the problems it has today, however, what you also need to take into consideration was not only colonial pressure but also domestic pressure on the government to 'get out'. Furthermore, I find your condecending tone amusing seeing as you are accusing someone with post-graduate qualifications in history of not sticking to the disciplines that the subject expects as a minimum at A-level, never mind Masters level.

I've tried really hard to refrain from posting on this thread, but your continual flouting of historical fact is staggering and needs correcting. Ian Smith did declare independance from the UK, on this you are correct, however he then became Rhodesia's first Prime Minister and established white minority rule; this dune, you can't escape from or deny. You can argue that he won many elections, but this was only because he excluded the majority, if not all balcks from voting - again, a fact you cannot escape from. Furthermore, as for his claim about the British Empire (which I have taken solely from your quote earlier in this thread because I have not read 'The Great Betrayal') it seems to me that he is simply trying to justify his actions, as all imperial defenders seem to do. The old argument of the British leaving behind them a wake of excellent sanitation, railways and infrastructure etc is quite simply ********. From many African and Asian colonies our withdrawal was done in an extremely hap-hazard way with nothing done to prepare the native peoples for self governance.

I want to know WHY you want him back so much? We weren't exactly playing fantasy football under him and have you forgotten that he utterly shafted us? What is to stop him doing that again?

**** right off!! Although saying that, he found his level in the Dutch Premier League (arguably League 1 standard) but I'm not sure if can be doing with Saints being the laughing stock of English football...If we weren't already.

Don't feed the troll!

This. They always seem to have a 'problem' with us for some reason. Muppets. Cheers Alan, the JPT final was my greatest day as a Saints fan. I tiwll be interesting to hear what Pardew has to say if any statement from him is released...

this!!

No to Zola and other tactical morons like Phil Brown; I would settle on Curbishley.

Absolute joke!! What a continual farce this club is. I thought Cortese wanted to bring stability to the club?! Also who is going to WANT to manage us when they know he is this ruthless?! We won't get another high profile manager that's for sure!

On OS now, what a joke this club is! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2139306,00.html

The one thing I probably couldn't get my head around is the lack of sunlight. Surely that in itself brings health problems that no amount of pills or 'Cluedo' can solve...

I found it funny that out very clever YOOF decided to move about the terrace to avoid detection because we all know the Police have those 'fixed position' cameras.
