Spoke to him after the game when people were getting autographs signed. Some kids nearby asked him if he was going to Celtic. He laughed and said no. They then asked him if Pards was going to Celtic and also laughed and said no. (Although, it is more of a case of the sack in Pards' case rather then Celtic). Just to put that rumour to bed.

Yes,there did seem a certain familiarity to some of it...

Pardew has greater experience in getting teams promoted.

It is obviously the end of the season,and after the final ball is kicked (ITK)fans of all clubs find exclusive revealations to share with fellow posters: http://www.exeweb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39276 This is from Exeter. Can't see this happening myself but Tisdale would certainly be amongst my preferred candidates if necessary,although hope AP remains.

Would have preferred Tranmere to have gone down.

Agreed. Frankly,I would not want Hughes at Saints in any event.I recall he displayed an arrogant contempt for Saints whilst he played for us,and his part in splitting the dressing room spirit in the early part of the 'great escape' season. Hughes is a c^nt in my book.

Were you the bloke who saw Richard Branson in The Dell car park opening his boot to show Askham boxes of £50 notes bundled up in advance of a 1990's takeover that never happened?

If anyone has a subscription, then are the programmes not sent to them by post in advance of matchday?

Indeed.I'd rather be a "scummer" than a bummer. The fact they are so bitter must indicate a good player -potentially- on his way.

I shall email them, thanks for replies

Not complaining, just wondering... Is it just me who can't watch Alan Pardew's preview to the Southend game, or is anyone else having the same problem? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/20100506/managing-to-succeed_2264122_2045426 Thanks

Absolute Spastic.

Well done Rickie!!!! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2045041,00.html

Potentially a good choice and prospect,although expect he will end up at Derby as rumoured.

Looks like Danny Higginbottom ?

Pardew is very sure he will be judged after 18 months, so I think he is safe. Also, Cortese isn't stupid. He said in his interview with solent "I don't believe in short term managers" So surely this means he won't sack a manager after just one season, and a manager who has done very very well.

What is his email??? Does anyone know pards' club email?

Why don't we make "pardew in" banners, so nicola "gets the message" thats if he hasn't already...

Understand your point but disagree with you and original person who made this point.A firm statement from the club would put this to rest and confirm stability - for the forseeable future at least - and allow the club to build over the summer without this hanging over us.This 'story' has been around too long already. If nothing is said then it gathers momentum.Remember the WGS to Leeds issue and how that took off.A simple statement from Lowe and better still WGS would have culled that,had they had the will to do so. Not at this level.In the Prem perhaps but I remain of the view someone needs to know the lower leagues in L1. I know you are joking but as he is one of my least favourite players who played at Saints I would not want him here.

Having now entered the era of the (presedential style) leadership debate the likes of Alistair Darling,or Major,will no longer be in contention no matterhow good the oratory,principles,or policy. It isthe 'bright eyed,bushy tail' that will be projected for election by the simpleton [floating/liberal] electorate.It started with Blair and has continued with Nick Smeg.

As seen on Wikipedia: A jewish marxist to lead the Labour Party? It may follow in Manny Shinwell's footsteps but not someone I would want to head up a Government.

I seem to recall his league debut,for Chelsea, at TheDell and he looked very athletic then.Although he was probably only 18 at the time. That photo looks in the dangerously obese fat f^cker range than just 'chubby'.That is fat bastard in the Mickey Quinn proportions.

I'm pleased he has done well in Holland.Long may he stay there.
