He won't be sacked, his contract as likely as not won't be renewed, trust me, I've worked with people like Cortese.45 points is a fairly arbitrary figure but it would bring our total (real) up around the figure that was probably the target at the outset of the season.

That's why they've always said it would be run as a business. Probably more about not failing than the money though. People who've made stacks don't usually like losing,even relatively small amounts of money, dents their ego.

Pity Powell isn't fit, that would give us as good as a goal lead. Sounds like they're concentrating on the League anyway, not that it will do them any good.

Well why is he contesting our results then? Obviously winning at home and drawing away is judged to be unsatisfactory even though that brings an average of 2 points a game.If he was content with 2 points a game at present I'm sure he would have said so. You're wrong on this one Nick he probably wants 45 points from our last 18 games and less won't do. He wants us to win away, it's not rocket science to interpret what he's said.We should be getting results as good as Norwich,Leeds and Colchester..but we aren't.

Depends how you process the stats really. We have obtained 44 points from 28 games, that's only just over 1.5 per game. Take away the 4 from 6 at the start and it makes 40 from 22, probably still not good enough for automatic promotion and probably only just good enough for the lottery of the play-offs. At no time this season have we averaged more than 2 points per game for a sustained period, there's always been a Brighton at home or two successive away defeats (Leeds and Colchester) to take the wind out of our sails. There may well be players who have expressed their intention to leave next summer if we're still in League 1, so we'd probably have to start the rebuilding process all over again. So in fact what expect NC would want to see is something like 14 points from every 6 games, winning at home and drawing away against bad sides won't be good enough.

Still must be pretty tough in the Saint's ticket office just now,probably need to be cut a bit of slack...no not you madame.

Did you actually watch them last weekend? They don't know how to influence a group of 3 year olds. Totally clueless.

Cold and Damp then, should suit us more than Pompey,especially those of them that have been hanging around down in Angola of late..

Went out of fashion when Vera Lynn stopped doing concert tours

Amazing to see all this sleep peturbation and pants crapping, it's only a game:smt119

Is AP not on just a 1 year contract? I very much doubt that if league performances are deemed "unsatisfactory" for the rest of this season he would be offered a new contract which would have to be paid off if he were to be sacked.

Depends if they've been paid I suppose. What's the weather forecast for Saturday lunchtime by the way?

if it keeps on happening there's probably something wrong with the address they put on it.

the BBC "preview" says he's out along with Murty and Hammond,it's only the BBC though.

British disease sponsored by the Government. They want you to be afraid,doesn't matter of what, they can control you more easily if the vast majority of the population live in fear, of mad cow disease, pirates,swine flu,unemployment,biscuit shortage at Tesco, whatever, let's them do what they want.As Tony Blair said at the time of the Iraq invasion doing nothing is not an option..so the have to manufacture an excuse,sorry, reason to do something.

it does seem that the Exeter result has had a bad effect on morale all round. seemed to be saying that the players aren't (as yet) up for either of this week's matches.

why? being a long time resident of foreign shores I really don't get all this PC stuff. Can't you just say what you think (within reason)nowadays? England was always the nirvahna of free speech and uncensored press.

Mmmm Scrubbers who drink pints should all be served with ASBOs

I'm surprised that the Social Security office doesn't run to football tickets as "essential cultural necessities" nowadays.

Well yes 6 was under the West Stand stood on a stool at the front, best view in town Even the old dockers cut down on the 4 letter words for the kids in those days, not so much but a bit anyway. I learnt what f*ck meant after hearing it a lot under the West Stand.

I used to go into the Milton all by my self (well with my hard mates from 1A2 at Tauntons) from about 12 onwards,aggro was just an occupational hazard.No-one looked for it but no-one ran away from it either, same as the school playground or Bitterne Park rec.

no dockers in Millwall anymore, these are spotty college kids, it's not the same thing

We'll go 4-5-1 anyway. We're leading

Smells of burning tea towel to me. (Look up le torchon brûle,which comes from 14th century French)

i'd go Gillett instead of James. Don't rate James in CM at all, too slow in every department. In fact I'd prefer Wotton to James,; at least some little wimp isn't going to get past him without serious collateral damage.
