I remember in 1974 we bought in Peter Osgood he never scored in thirteen or so games and we got relegated He was one of the best Strikers I ever saw in the 1960s

It will be pretty poor if we dont get at least a play off place

I Totally agree with you OSM Merry Christmas I was expecting us to be higher than 10th at Christmas I must admit but we need to put a winning sequence together ASAP otherwise we maybe in the Play Off Lottery Last season was Very Good JPT winners a good cup run and a team which looked as though Promotion was likely this season but the Cortese/Pardew feud seems to have buggered that

Pardew?

Well we were in the Premier League for most of the time when he was Chairman but you probably are too young to remember that !!! It is nearly six years ago that we we there and it will probably be at least another six before we return. I did enjoy last season as I thought we had a basis of good team which would get promoted but 10th at Christmas in League 1 is not making me that happy

Which is the most likely scenario

Because Pinnacle paid them money so the club could continue

It is possible that he has not commented about the sacking of AP because he did not have a valid reason.

You can believe whatever you want but it is joke to think that Saints will be able to compete for the title in the next twenty years

I suggest you just get a bit of realism in your life Cortese's just spinning a tale like politicians do. It just not going to happen

The whole idea of a 40000 seater stadium and Saints competeing for the league title appears to me very unlikely to me. Teams like Liverpool Tottenham and Everton cannot do it so I doubt whether we can. Just happy to have a team to watch and support and do not care about Cortese's Dream which no doubt other Chairman have too

Only Pay £10 at St Mary's as an OAP so I think it is good value especially as the beer is cheap in the Guide Dog as well

I quite like being in League 1 cheap tickets no large crowds and I can see clubs when I want which I only dreamed about like MK Dons Dagenham and Redbridge and Hartlepool Doubt whether I will go if we ever return to the PL Doubt I w

Yes I feel like that too Pretty dissappointing after last season

When we last got promoted in 1977-78 the results in December were very good 03.12.1977 Tottenham Hotspur away D0-0 10.12.1977 Luton Town home L0-1 17.12.1977 Blackpool away W1-0 26.12.1977 Cardiff City home W3-1 27.12.1977 Charlton Athletic away W3-1 31.12.1977 Stoke City home W1-0

If you are happy about this season thats fine but I expect that you are in the minority as Adrian Lord says above last season was great but this season has been extremely dissappointing especially as all the hype from Cortese is of good football and promotion. We have replaced a pretty good manager with far less experience

Most Managers do a decent job and most managers would do a decent job with our squad But I dont think Adkins has done much that it out of the ordinary. The last game I saw was against Brighton and apart from Lambert's miss with a header I never thought that we would score. Lets hope we do better in the last few games in 2010

Just Forget Logic and Stats to get promotion the team has to play well home and away something the team is not doing at the moment. If it does start playing well then we can start thinking about promotion at the moment I dont feel confident but that hopefully might change

Yes he is living up to expectations - nothing out of the ordinary

Well I am glad you think that it is a laughing matter Nearly Christmas and we are only ninth in League 1

Just because they individually cost a lot of money does not mean that they are better than other players in the League. Although I do find it strange that some of our rejects Mills Thomas Gillett and Puncheon are playing the Championship.

Are you for real Obviously we were not good enough yesterday otherwise we would have won With regard to be the best team in the League that is debateable as we hardly ever get players in League 1 team of the week

Well Charlton have just lost 1 0 to Walsall at home So that is not bad we are only a couple of wins away from being in a good position. I will be a little unhappy if we now dont beat Walsall

Well I am not happy now two home games no goals no points I just think we are under performing big time

Obviously a Lack of goals seems to be the problem Team TOT Mclean Peterborough 10 Wright-Phillips Plymouth 10 Austin Swindon 9 Mackail-Smith Peterborough 9 Jones Rochdale 8 Logan Exeter 8 Madine Carlisle 8 Pugh Bournemouth 8 Revell Leyton Orient 8 Barnes Brighton 7 Benson Charlton 7 Jackson Charlton 7 Pilkington Huddersfield 7 Rhodes Huddersfield 7 Westcarr Notts County 7
