Perhaps the Journalist is a Tory as they tend to miss out decimal points to give the completely wrong slant on things;)

I know you are not a happy clapper but you are beginning to sound like one you dont have to attend to have opinions I watch the Saints once a month but I post most of the time

Seems rather strange but some these Refs must in the top 100 in the country.

I dont really see what is wrong with being in League 1 - easy to get a ticket not many big crowds trips to Wembley That said I would expect us to be challenging for Promotion next season but Patience is the key

But I think the ref lost his way in this match seems to be the case

Perhaps you and NC have the wrong outlook

It really is strange that in most cases Penalties given against Saints are always wrong and Penalties given for Saints are always right. Plus loads of Penalties are missed for Saints but never for the opposition:confused:

I think a happy clapper is someone who continually suggests that promotion is possible this season and then complains when others with possibly more realistic ideas disagree. I think a happy clapper is someone who continually complains when others suggests that the team is not performing well. I think a happy clapper is someone who thinks automatic promotion next season is a foregone conclusion. Personally I am happy the club is doing well This season has been one of the best in the last twenty years and I have watched more games than usual and hope for a better one next

Just because he has scored loads of goals in League 1 does not make him a Premiership Striker There are loads of examples of CCC strikers like Nugent and Ebanks-Blake from Wolves last season who are not up to the Premiership

Not sure about Lambert his lack of pace concerns me in the Premiership dont forget Pompey did not have a recognised CB marking him

Perhaps Fuller is a better player than you think. Not sure about Lambert his lack of pace concerns me I did not think Crouch was a very good player when he joined us but how wrong I was

Although NickG is a little happy clappy I agree with him the outlook does look positive . A great deal better than at the end of August 2009

Very good post perhaps NC should leave a couple of million for new players and bugger off for six or seven months and let the coaches and manager produce a team. He can then return and judge on whether they are doing a good job

It has this season I think not in previous ones I think

Terry Paine was the best all round No 7 I have ever seen in a Saints shirt. He now has a World Cup Winners medal too

I am not a "In AP we Trust" fan but with the type of player we are buying I cannot see why we should not be in the mix next season for promotion with or without Pardew our results over the last twenty five or so League games is pretty good. However if we continue to miss chances my optimism may fade

I think we took our chances at Norwich but not at Wycombe Brentford and Tranmere and at home against Portsmouth

The problem with football is that half the league games are played away where it is not always as easy to achieve results. So I accept that we will not perform away as well as we do at home In fact I have not seen us win away on many occassions

He sacked Wotte if I remember

I agree with you regarding the lack of a strategy or plan but I do believe that we will be in the top six next season. Whether we get promoted is of course not definite but the standard of the League will probably not be as high as this season.

Compared with most Premier League players that is pretty poor

Really so why has the world been in recession if the bankers are so wonderful.

I think you ought to find another interest as you plainly dont understand football as sometimes the lesser teams wins if not there would be no point in playing

Dont you realise that in football sometimes things like missed chances poor tackles and decisions by the Ref completely alter the whole game something the manager cannot control
