Apparently " its about winning games of football. Simple as that".

But for much of the time in Division One,Premiership, we were playing at The Dell remember ? When we left there the capacity was c15,000 which although still nearly twice the size of your current ground, was by Premiership standards pretty low. So given our resources at the time,remaining in the top flight for as long as we did was in itself a tremendous achievement.

Turkish, there are times when you are a kn0b, how could you have forgotten Jimmy Melia's dancing shoes ?

Staying there. European qualification. Playing some outstanding attacking football under Lawrie,and Nicholl from time to time. Signing a current European Footballer of The Year. Probably for the same reason as you became homeless and had to leave the Goldstone Ground - mismanagement by one or more individuals that supporters would not have wanted in charge. Lets be honest both clubs have been victim to that. Putting the argument aside, I'd be quite happy for BHA to be promoted providing of course it is not at our expense. And good luck in the cup against the Skates by the way.

As someone else has pointed out further up the thread though, internet forums do tend to attract them for any club.

Comments like this made I laugh: What a b!tchy little comment to throw in at the end. To which someone added : Perhaps confirming that some of their fans do have a obsession for other blokes sh!tholes. Then we have the fanciful : "Far superior" ? Syle of football ? Is that the theatrical tumbling in the box,Manager with the South American appealing to the ref for opponents to be sent off etc. Wonder how popular Poyet will be there when he inevitably departs to manage in Spain to enhance is career ? Their Stadium ??? Jackanory time surely? Potential.. is this the club that once had a two year stint in the top division...during our twenty seven years there ? Clearly potential,history and support. Sussex, a nicer place to live ? B0ll0cks. Presumably their knowledge of Hampshire is only to and from SMS, or Nottarf Krap (perhaps they have a point there I'll concede), and don't know anywhere else. Fact is, rather like Bournemouth they want us to notice them and hate them, but in truth only the skates are on our immediate hate monitor. So, f^ck off Brighton and Hiv Albion, enjoy your brief flirtation with being top of the table in L1.

Sadly, I cannot make it to games due to location and work. I am delighted with Adkins so far and was happy with his appointment. But I was wondering if his style of fast attacking football is starting to show- have people who attend games noticed it, and how much of a development/ change has it been on Pardew?

4-0 yes

3 mins added time to get four

Should have been 4 then

Huddersfield infront?

Why are they talking about the skate ****s?

3-2 or 2-2??

Come on saints let get four

Do they overtake us?

Lambert sounds sharp today... just hope he gets a goal!

So close to be a great passing goal

We arent scoring any more is what i meant. But I am still overjoyed with the performance today and will settle for 3-1

We are tearing them apart but not scoring

Barnard should have scored one on one with keeper

Ht 1-0

Davis AGAIN saves us
