I am not suggesting sacking Pardew just suggesting that he could have done a little better. Forget the Bollix about where were this time last season once out of Administration and with the players we had our start should have been a lttle better

I hope he does turn it around but unlike you I am not sure

No but if Leyton Orient score 6 on Monday I would be a little upset

I just think we should possibly have done a little better as we took the lead on a number of occasions without getting the win The Statistics you forgot to comment on Man U 3 draws Saints 13 draws Goals Conceded 27 for Man U 27 Saints 46 Which tells something about our defence which still does not have many clean sheets I know I have only watched a dozen or so games this season but the only clean sheet I saw was against Luton in the Cup

Yes I thought it seemed a strange comment from Pardew

I dont think he was abusing you just telling the truth perhaps;)

Well if it does I hate to think what it will do to poor old Pardew.

I have been watching Saints since August 1962 when my parents returned to Southampton but followed the team before that. I left Southampton in 1964 to go to Uni in London but returned to Southampton regularly to watch them and was a season ticket holder for the a year in the 70s. Watched them at all the London Grounds - Ealing to Crystal Palace is not easy midweek by Public Transport and had an awful experience at Watford in the League Cup when 4 1 up from the first leg we got well and truly thrashed. Now retired and living in Berkshire I follow them on the Interenet and still go to watch a few times a season last game I saw was against Hartlepool I now enjoy watching teams that I have never seen before but I am not sure whether MK Dons counts as I remember going to Plough Lane and seeing Boyer score a goal in a Cup game

Yes I was going to add about the fans. I Dont think Man U and Liverpool is quite the same as the method used to buy the clubs is based on loans they both have huge incomes and I am not sure they are making large losses

I dont disagree with you about the sour grapes but I really dislike clubs like Pompey and unfortunately ourselves under the Hone years spending money we did not have gaining an unfair advantage .

Yes I agree I was very upset at the start of the season as things seemed to be going from bad to worse and I thought our results were pretty grim. Perhaps I was too impatient then but since October the team has got good results and things are going well although getting to the playoffs seemed unrealistic despite spending on a number of new players. If the team plays as it has done since October we should be in a very good position to get promoted next season

I think he has a point I dont think it is cheating going into Administration but it has been a great advantage for us and our future is bright because of it. .

So the first ten games did for us is the reason we will not get promoted

I would still expect to win even if Jose took over in the morning

They had some really good players around that time Mike Summerbee and Ernie Hunt if I remember

Who is Mr Williams never really heard of him

Well Claus breaks the law so gets into the Newspapers

Just read this http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnulty/2010/04/ancelottis_bravery_pays_off.html Seemed to be what Pardew did not saying it was a good idea but other managers do similar things

There is a difference between should and would. I thought we should have done better in the first few games

I personally prefer being in League 1 as I go more often do not pay high prices for tickets find the pub uncrowded and the traffic not too bad. Plus see a few goals and usually a Saints win

We had Lambert and Lallana but just a comment

I see that Chelsea adopted Pardew's tactics today leaving a striker Drogba on the bench

Use a bottle it is safer:D

Swindon 15th last season

and a couple others as well I wonder how Leeds feel after three years in League 1
