You overlooked Les Reed at 14%, and Steve Wigley at 6%.

Definitely a turning point.

Yes, it will. One other change that would not surprise me is seeing FF back,keeps him relatively tested, and prevents McCarthy picking up an injury.

You might be right in this given our run in, but a couple of wins can propel you up the table rapidly at the moment. Of course if you say or write it quickly it seems easy, but on our current patchy form, and Pellegrino's record of consistent disappointment, it is difficult to see those wins coming. So should we accept the inevitable, as Reed & Co seem to, or roll the dice seeking an improvement ? Not sure the quick fix - or to the end of season - appointments are available or will be attracted which is my only concern about the change. But on balance far better off trying to change it round than leave it as it is.

Yes it was. Based on his review of that it left me wondering what his 'home movies'are like.

I'm sure the club would agree a video link in Alpine's case just to get him on board with some constructive comments.

We can joke about catering and the radio stations all we like, but the bloke who was the brunt of the jokes in that area, Lowe, would have seen Pellegrino out of the door by now I'm sure.

Dither.

Would have been a more attractive option for a manager as well if he had the January window to address the squad issues as he saw fit rather than be lumbered with the squad for the remainder of the season.

You'd like to think they might look at the performance, and in particular the desire among the players, and how motivated they were. But they probably won't.

We seldom have a plan A.

Bet the woman who wrote to the Echo missed a bumper sized treat today on the swearometer. And just for the record: Les Reed is a **** Pelligrino is a **** Ross Wilson is a trainee **** The team - predominantly a bunch of useless ****s. VD, Lallana et al,it goes without saying, are also...

Us without a doubt if we keep Pellegrino, and even if we sack the f^cker we've left ourselves a mountain to climb. Nice one Les.

Isn't that more to do with hankering after 'student life' than the games themselves? I wish I could roll back the years ( going back to the early 80's now) for uni days, but that's not making a choice between which game I prefer. As to original question,its been the round ball game for me most of my life, although I did play and enjoy rugby at school for a few years and then at university, although that was more about working up a thirst than playing to any great standard. I went to watch Gloucester a few times on moving over this way, and enjoyed it (late 80's/early 90's) as it was different from football in that era, especially on the terraces and in the bars. More recent visit to Kingsholm and found it a pale imitation of what football has become, corporate and sanitised. I might watch some of the 6 Nations, and England internationals, but in truth it's largely Saints or not bother now (including the national football team in that indifference as well).

We do have some delicate and precious little flowers in our support don't we?

Does seem to be our problem and a recurrent theme.

Because Dithering Les left it until the last day or so of the transfer window, and no time to go on to Plan B, or C as it might have been.

Got ours this morning but disappointed the club didn't take the whole end.

VD without a doubt. Both Lallana & Lovren behaved like a pair of c^nts, but at least they threw their toys out of the pram after the season ended whereas VD had his sulk in time to disrupt pre-season and after he had been reintegrated simply went through the motions.

... and then spend two months deliberating, before appointing an uninspired choice who of course was our number one target all along.

Just looking at the plan I wonder if A3 & A6 might be taken up. V1 & V2 are presumably the gap between supporters, and WBA giving home tickets to D1-D6.

Looked a playground squabble after some younger kid nicked his bag of sweets.

And Kevin Keegan if players are included.

I think Barcelona is probably his dream job.

So what goes wrong in the next phase of recruitment then ?
