I think we will definitely sign another central defender or right back, whether on loan or otherwise. It seems Pards has decided to forget about Lloyd James at right back. Thomas and Murty are fine but if Murty's injury is a long one we are left short at centre back again if anything happens to Trotters or Perry. I would imagine a pacy player or two are on the shopping list, whether a winger or a central forward (hopefully both). I'm confident we'll strengthen.

I think you'll find they are trying to undo the damage done by Lowe. Clearly, given the damage wrought was so terminal, this will take some time. Well done for finding a contrary Lowe related angle though. Give yourself a little star or a ****.

One of the funniest things I've ever read. I wonder if the Prem League should consider some retrospective sanctions given that the dirty little club was clearly controlled by Arkady "clean money" Gaydamak?

I'd be stunned if they allowed the earth-shattering signings of Smith, Brown and Bopp to be followed by that.

This really has been a terrible weekend for this Message Board.

Because Pardew has a good record. Because what he says makes sense to me. Because he has made a few signings and I am very happy with all of them bar one who the jury is out on. Because we are improving. Because the ****e from last year is slowly being wiped off. Because the footballing infrastructure is being rebuilt. Because we have better players than most teams but still have a bit of work to do in a couple of areas.

Seriously, LOL at you. I'm so glad I work with intelligent people and don't have to spend my days listening to this sort of rubbish.

Mind you, there's some stiff competition.

Arguably the most stupid post I've ever read on here.

Yes, indeed. Unfortunately some are less emotionally developed.

PS - the only team who would have made the play-offs, had ten points been deducted last year were Leicester. Did anyone really think we would do as well as them this season? Are you not aware of the complete shambles the previous management left behind? Did you not read Pardew's article on the scouting disarray? Did you miss the disruption caused to pre-season? Have you not noticed how teams celebrate a point at SMS as though they've just won the league? Can you not see we have much better players than most other teams? We will be fine but promotion is and was a retarded expectation.

He's signed one "nipper" and one young centre back, who is much better than our other centre backs, along with some experienced players. The level of spoilt, narrow-minded stupidity on here beggars belief sometimes.

TBF, that's ********, isn't it?

Oh FFS. What a great thread. Seriously, brilliant. Well done you.

EDIT

Thanks for that. Nice to hear the vews of someone who saw the match.

Funny, because Solent thought Saga had a good game. Mind you, I think Dave Merrington has had his brain replaced with a Banal Truism Machine.

If Man City don't win the league then it's a sure sign they need to spend more money. I expect their fitness is also involved somehow.

Boring, whining, predictable, immature gash.

Why? What you do, is this: watch the games and see what the reasons are and recognise that the reasons for conceding a goal may differ from game to game.

Yes, I think that's the point he's making but in this case he is completely wrong.

We hit the bar twice after scoring and had a goal ruled out for offside. FFFFFFFFS.

FFS.

Definitely. A sports psychologist would prevent unlucky ricochets leading to penalties.

Maybe Maradonna sees something in Smith that we're all overlooking?
