Make it 16501 as I am going for my monthly visit to St Mary's

Oh yes but I never really expected us to get to the playoffs

Are you saying that NC does not know what he is doing buying in expensive players? By the way I disagree Puncheon Fonte Jaidi Barnard Harding and Hammond have all played very well at most games this season So have Lallana Morgan and Davis We have the players but not the team

It is always the same lets get in a couple of new players and things will be fine;) We were all happy with the new players but results in general have not improved significantly Eleven League games in 2010 nineteen points Last Eleven League Games in 2009 twenty points About 82 points over the season pro rata

Prior to last nights game in the ten games in 2010 we got nineteen points which if it continued over a season would give us 87 points which would be good. I would expect in the next nine games to get at least the same number of points but I do think that the team is currently underperforming like it was at the start of the season

We are doing reasonbly well at the moment without putting many winning runs together. Hopefully the standard will not be as good next season and with luck we should be a force in League 1. I doubt we will do a Norwich but we should be at least in the Playoffs but we do need to have a good start to the season which we seldom do - Cannot remember the last time we won the First Game of the season

I thought that after the match but not before. I think the team he put out was the correct one after the performance on Saturday

I do agree with that money does not buy guarantee success but with the money spent we we should perhaps be doing better. Having been around in 1960 1966 and 1978 I know that good players playing good football get promotion not blood sweat and passion. We have bought in good players Davis Thomas Schenderlin Lambert Barnard Puncheon Jadi Fonte Harding Hammond plus Lallana but the team is not playing consisently well so there is a problem somewhere. By the way being a tossa and calling people names is not a very good way to put your point across although I am not really sure what your point is

With the amount of money spent on new players plus the likes of Lallana Davis Thomas and Schenderlein we would not even be in the play offs at the moment if we had not had lost ten points not a very successful League Campaign. But I have enjoyed the season up to the Cup game against Pompey

This season we have been a long way from being bankrupt spent loads without much success

In 2010 in eleven league games I think we have two losses five wins four draws I am not sure that is good enough

Me too

I dont disagree with what you are saying but there is little evidence that we can string a series of four or five wins together which is dissappointing with all the money spent.

What makes you think he is a shrewd businessman he invested a lot in January but has not got much in return. Although I think the signings were good the results have not been exceptional.

Yes but we have not got any nearer the play offs have we and Pompey beat us 4 1

I enjoyed this season up to the Cup Match v Pompey but since then things have not gone that well

At the beginning of the season we were ten points away from the play offs After 35 games we are sixteen points from the play offs I was hoping for a little better with all the money which has been spent

What time is it over there?

Surely he will be playing in the 20/20 Cup in June

Probably not with IPL and World Cup 20/20 in April/May

Team 01 Davis 02 Harding 03 Thomas 06 Jaidi 12 Fonte 04 Puncheon 14 Hammond 19 Schneiderlin 07 Lambert 17 Barnard 20 Lallana Substitutes 28 Bialkowski, 23 James, 35 Seaborne, 10 Wotton, 41 Oxlade-Chamberlain, 09 Papa Waigo, and Connolly An easy win I hope as Swindon have lots of injuries

Really I thought the squad came back early and played a number of Friendlies

Sorry to much emphasis is being placed on not having a Pre-Season The main point of a Pre season is to get match fit which was done

Nothing to do with the football League apparently http://fourfourtwo.com/news/england/49953/default.aspx

The point I was trying to make is that our current results would be quite acceptable if we had done better at the start of the season. I think we now are expecting too much if we expect to win all our games against lowly sides who are fighting against relegation.
