Dark Munster

Comment from an alleged Hammer fan. Fair play to him if so: I wonder if the writer of this article was at the game. Number 1 fact that seems to have been missed was that Saints controlled much of the first half. As a Hammer, I was relieved at half time to be 0-0. There is not a mention of the key issue on Saturday for Southampton (and much of the reason for last season's success) which is why did Adkins not play Lambert from the start? Had he done so, I reckon Saints could have been two up after 45 minutes and it may have been a very different story. I totally agree that Saints defence is poor and the two goals in the first 3 minutes of the second half should have been avoided. But Saints weren't out of it until we got the third. The 4-1 did flatter us. The author should check out the match stats - as well as defence issues, finishing was the big Southampton problem - they had the most possession and numerous chances. This article also fails to mention how the owner may be influencing things such as player purchases and formation etc. If the rumours are true, Adkins shouldn't be getting such harsh treatment. Southampton have let loads in, they've also scored loads. They had an awful set of fixtures so their season has only really just started. We on the other hand have had a fairly kind start. Our run up to Xmas is a shocker now and you might seen the points gap between the two clubs reduce significantly. Sam has bought well so I am hopeful but time will tell. I travelled home with some Saints fans, some wanting Adkins head. Very short memories it seems. Articles like this help to stir up a panic before it is due (much like Hughes and QPR). I wonder how anyone at Upton Park on Saturday could give Diame 6 out of 10. Once again he was excellent, probably the best player. I suppose he came off due to international duty. It wasn't because of performance - maybe the author assumed it was as they didn't watch the game?

February for the next parachute payment apparently. So look for the rotten corpse of a club to stagger on until then. Between now and then, Tricky "£9000 per day" Trev will give half a dozen or so "final" deadlines for takeover bids to be submitted. It's going to be even funnier than Saints Keystone Kops defending.

Careful Mack, your illiterate facade is slipping.

That's the way I see it. Tragic for the phew, isn't it? And if I can get Lucy Liu, Selma Hayek and Mrs. Munster's agreement, I can tie up the foursome pretty quickly.

Nice job. Good luck getting your £97.50 back.

And when it comes, they are better off dead than alive.

At £9K per day, that's a rather nice Catch 22 to be in! So Voldemort is sticking out a stockinged leg, and giving a come-and-get-me look with his eye lashes, in the direction Bolton. I wonder if he can sense the end coming soon for Cheats FC (much like some dogs can sense an impending earthquake)?

Sorry, I didn't have time.... Mrs. Munster was entering my room so I had to hit "Reply" quickly.

Fixed the broken linky thing for you.

No problem. All they have to do is give Cheats FC a quick ring to ask how to successfully skirt around it.

****!

Richards is sadly not with us (RIP), and Morgan is touch and go fitness-wise.

Maybe this is part of Nicola's cunning plan to avoid having to overpay for a LB and CB during the next window. Give the impression that the Liebherrs have pulled the plug and that he has to resort to dodgy loan sharks for running costs.

Don't forget Mummy and/or Daddy have to buy a ticket to accompany little Johnny to Krap Nottarf. So Cheats FC can cash in on these extra suckers as well. You have to hand it to the Cheats: they've made screwing all and sundry into quite a fine art .

Well, if (as expected) Chinny* takes over, I somehow don't think he will find a decision on the playing staff budget difficult. * And I think he's in a bit of a hurry now, since Tricky Trev is burning through his cash faster than Avram does at Fufu's.

So Tricky Trev is blowing a huge wedge of the dwindling parachute monies on yet another overpaid mercenary. Maybe Chinny will have to give him a ring to have a little chat about this.

Another innocent victim of fartoniser banning all and sundry in a desperate and futile attempt to get Kraken and Pamplemousse.

10K is a boycott. 11K is packing the park. HTH.

If Nicola keeps making those mistakes Nige may lose patience and show him the door.

But Appleton says he is not worried that those comments could lead to him being out of a job. "At the end of the day, there will always be a job out there for Michael Appleton," he said. Isn't it one of the first signs of madness talking about yourself in the third person? "Why do I say that? Because I can look myself in the mirror every single day knowing I've given 100%. I work as hard as I possibly can on the training field with the players. Say what you will about Voldemort (incompetent, not the sharpest tool in the shed, etc.), but at least he's got guts. He peaked at 17 goals in 28 appearances for Fisher Athletic. I think Voldemort has found just the right level of player for Cheats FC.

Woo hoo! Saintsweb is back up. WTFH? 2-2 tomorrow.

Which coincidentally is when the parachutes dry up, Chinny finally buggers off, and the Cheats FC rotten corpse finally dies. Yep, I think you can safely retire from nutjobdom in 2 years time. I wonder how may posts you'll hit by then - probably a world record.

Come on nutjobs, hurry up, or some boring fart is going to be the first to post on page 1500.
