I think we need a strong professional manager like Pardew not a passionaite one as they seem to lose it when things go wrong in our current situation.

Yes exactly which got us in the situation we find ourselves now paying excessive wages on average players

Having a contract does not stop agents touting their players I would have thought but I cannot see Terry or Rooney joining us at the moment

I think he maybe trying to let potential players and agents know that he does not have a blank cheque book

Very Similar to the 2003 Cup Final I would have thought where we never seemed to believe we could win after that huge defeat to Arsenal. Lets face it we are a Div1 team against a Champions League and as I heard Pardew say we should not be playing teams like Ajax and hoping to win A 2 1 defeat would have been pretty good but we gave other players an oppurtunity to play in front of a large crowd against Ajax I dont think last weeks game was important it was just a celebration of survival however all the next games as you suggest are important and lets see what happens then.

For how many years is this pointless arguing going on We got relegated for a number of reasons and should just get on and see how we do in the future we have a wealthy and sensible backer which we never did in the past so hopefully things will get better.

Well does that mean that Lawrie is in the same boat as John Mortimore who was a loyal servant to the club and was Ted and possibly Lawries Assistant Dont care about the others

He probably like you could spell it and had an understanding of it use unlike Harry who probably could not spell it either

I dont think SCW would have been accepted anytime with Lowe involved. Little concerned with comments from Charlton fans as Pardew said the same things he is saying now when he first went to the Valley. After five years of constant bad news regarding the Saints results perhaps I really cannot believe things are going to change for the better. The current squad will be increased with new players and new coaches and most are not that bad so I dont really know why I am slightly worried but I am

It was a bit old though was it not

Is he the bloke who scored for Everton against us in The Premiership after we had played so well

Middlesborough spent loads on Alves over £10m but he did not score many goals

Edrich Stand excellent view from the top probably the best in the ground apart from the Pavilion

Yes I think so

I think that golf has the most sportmanship of any sport the players never seem to cheat or try to gain advantage. They also take defeat with good grace

I would have thought we would be favourites after our batsman's failure we came back really well

I agree I would not expect all to have a career in the Premiership but I feel we have produced a number of good players and we should not be little our Academy. With the large influx of foreign players it is not surprising that there are not many British players around. We always seemed to have a couple of Scots in the team but not nowadays

We had one Brett Ormerod in fact I think we may have been looking at Zamora at the time as he was at Brighton

Formula one sport I thought the one with best car won

Where was MCJ I was away on holiday so did not follow the match The best Knock out match I saw was http://acscricket.com/Archive/Scorecards/37/37131.html Jesty hit one over for 20 Got a frre ticket used my company car met some Glamorgan members who took me to lunch would not accept me buying them beer So the whole day cost me 25p for the Severn Bridge The semi final was a huge disappointment http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/37/37198.html but the Proctor Hatrick was someting to remember

Javed somebody I think may be Iqbal

It was a no-ball. We were stood next to the sightscreen at the Nursery End (which you could in those days) heard the call and legged it. When I got my photos back I hadn't got Nicholas lifting the cup as some Skate cvnt had his arm up in the way. Why aren't they in Sussex. Yep really enjoyed the pitch invasion from Compton Lower in '91, quite a few Saints fans on the pitch then. Really hoping for the right result on Saturday, and a bit of sunshine would be nice... Like you, been to all 5 and was also at the 88 semi final at Chelmsford both days. One almighty **** up with both teams (except Gooch and Fletcher) in a pub near the ground after rain had cut short our innings. Kevin James told us their hotel was £20 and we followed them all the way back to the Post House at Brentwood where us mortals were faced with a bill for £80 a room. A quick phone call to a mate in Leyton and 5 of us including my Dad and the pregnant wife who was driving and we were kipping on floors and sofas. The next day we drove back to Chelmsford in the rain and had to wait till 3pm to start. When Judge hit the winning runs there was a crowd of about 30 of which 20 were Hants fans and a comittee member cracked open a bottle of champagne. Went to every Semi Final before the 1988 one which I missed. Got to Lords late for 1988 BH only to we had won by 11.20 Remember seeing Devon Malcolm for the first time and a stunning catch to get rid of Robin

No not in that game at Richmond I think he may have played early in the season

I was listening to Ian Chappell on TMS and he suggested that we should change the No 3 he was not being biased in anyway

I sell books these days and recently sold John Buckingham's Autobiography the jockey of Foinavon
