Yes I forgot about that At half time I thought we were going to win far more easily than we eventually did but losing Schneiderlin did not help

Players can be loaned from Premiership clubs whats the difference. Leeds are getting one today

Did we not get to two FA cup Semi Finals in the mid to late 80s 1989/1990 Barclays First Division 7th 1988/1989 Barclays First Division 13th 1987/1988 Barclays First Division 12th 1986/1987 Today First Division 12th 1985/1986 Canon First Division 14th 1993/1994 F.A. Carling Premiership 18th 1992/1993 F.A. Carling Premiership 18th 1991/1992 Barclays First Division 16th 1990/1991 Barclays First Division 14th

I dont think like you NC bought the club to make some money if he just wanted to save it he would be happy with the situation today but I dont think he is because he wants more. I think it was the Cortese interview on the BBC which was where the Daily Mail Story came from

You are right eventually it will but not always at the first attempt. Sometimes players who are bought are not good enough like the lot bought by Burley but most bought by Pardew seem OK

Like me a number around me were pretty speechless it must have been one of the best goals scored at St Mary's in the last couple of seasons

Dont think the playoffs were ever realistic after our very poor start but the JPT was. Cortese has a simplistic approach that money wins games which I think Samuel disagrees with and so do I Nothing is guaranteed in football as Leeds may now find out Cortese needs to understand that as there are so many things which are out of the control of the manager like injuries referee decisions suspensions and ****ups from players

I think since the introduction of the Premier League as you say we were hardly very successful except on the odd occassion and I cannot see that changing if and when we return

12 with the JPT - Unlikely

As I said before enjoyed last night good win five goals £10 not too much traffic What can the Premier League offer me?

Sue him for what?

I thought we were a big club and should be in the Premier League;)

Managing a club in League 1 with loads of dosh is much easier than managing a Club with no money in the Premier League so I am waiting before I make a decision on Cortese. I think a lot of fans think Pardew should be left to get on with his job and that chairmen should keep a low profile which does not seem to happen at SFC By the way I quite like being in League 1 last night £10 for a ticket a win 5 goals a couple of pints a good evening out

But we won and I enjoyed the game and I never thought we would lose. Having Harding at RB and playing Wotton for the second half did not help either

So if we get to the Premiership what will Cortese's stance be if we never beat any of the top ten teeams at home

and Wayne Thomas and possibly Chris Perry

Yes he did touch the ball a few times but it did not often end up with a Saints Player

I agree with most of your markings Thought Puncheon was better in the second half but pretty useless in the First. Waigio did score and make a goal but I was continually wondering what was happening down the right and the left footed Harding did not help. Actually thought Hammond played better when Morgan went off

I have enjoyed this season and hope SFC win the JPT and get at least another twenty league points. But I think with all the money spent I feel slightly disappointed that we have not achieved more. At the start of the season I was hoping for a ten finish with the players that we had with two or three more in the transfer window. Next season I expect us to be very much involved in the Promotion race and not to be out of the top five at any time

I thought he played once but could not remember the game

Not sure Huxford played that many games in Div 1 but then there was six years in Div 1 between the promotions so it was not surprising that only afew played in Div 1 So it really depends how long it takes to get to the Premiership.

I agree the ref was in a very good position to see what happened

That is how I see it too

The end of the Terry Paine era I think

Yes agree with you
