But I also recall a tame shot/cross to the nearpost and shot against Blackpool that any clown should have held onto but he did not , hence we should cast our search for a future GK ,or even reserve GK far and wide .

Fray Bentos or Watford * *as a makeweight if we want Sordell

Zaha by the way signed new contract at CP according to BBC.

Both "done" deals, if you believe some of the posts on here, so you won't be disappointed.

Agree, at the time I thought it was a sub to bring on a more defensive player. As for LM at the start of the season I'd have given Dickson a run out in that role. However I don't expect that to happen now as Dickson appears to have fallen off the radar as far as NA is concerned. Shame in my view.

I realise that is largely aimed at Dalek, but the current form table might suggest otherwise.

Sharp - did not want to move south, possibly due to his wife expecting Rodriguez - is reported to have wanted to stay with his home town club at this stage of his career. Not sure us wanting them more, would have tempted them.

No, don't go that far...he's still a skate c^nt !

Disagree - as we did have bids for Sharp reported, and possibly Rodriguez.Don't think you can blame the effort or intent here.

And in fairness to him Claridge was quick to point out that it did not !

There did seem to be an element of 'dying swan' as he threw himself towards the back post, but I'm just thankful he was starting today to be honest.

I can't see Huddersfield selling Rhodes at this stage of the season. They are , to my knowledge, fairly well run and financially secure. Rhodes is worth more to them by getting them promoted than £4m.

Guly has been an enigma since he arrived at the club, sublime skill one minute, hapless clown the next , sometimes in the same game. Today was woeful, including swinging his foot at air after six minutes on the six yard line. We were waiting for De Ridder to come on with ten minutes left, but it didn't happen.Not saying he would have defended their corner but he would provide a threat going forward.It is slightly worrying if we have substitutes on the bench that we now have little confidence in if they are called upon.

I certainly wish Chaplow had been on the end of the chance Schneiderlin squandered near the end, or one of the two Guly had in the second half.Either chance would have put the game to rest.

C'mon Saints ...the weekend before Christmas , peace and goodwill to all men, but just hammer those skate bastards !

Deleted.

Boxing Day 1974 won 2-1 April 1975 (I think) to watch Bristol Rovers there (long story) 1984 - won 1-0 the ultimate legendary match there surely 1987 2-2 Missed the last two thankfully. No ticket tomorrow.

I expect Reading would be seeking similar to when they sold Doyle, what was that £5-6m ? although unlikely to sell to a rival in the same division at this stage of the season. Might be a potential target in the summer if we go up and they don't.

For those suggesting Zaha, paper this morning reports Pardew considering a £10m bid . Doubt this to be accurate as Ashley is unlikely to release that sort of £ but it does underline the likely attention from a higher division.

Agreed.

I too saw Skate on a menu earlier in the week so that must be at least 2-0 to us.

Ditto - probably the three features I find most tacky and dated.

I've no doubt Lucas would like to join us, subject to terms being correct etc but my view - not ITK etc - is that if we had wanted to sign him we would have completed a deal before the November loan period ended. Not sure we will go back on this one. He might have been available as a "loan" to buy previously but come January there will be a wider list of candidates we consider.

There is a meeting on schizophrenia in town tomorrow - I've half a mind to go.
