Good appointment? perhaps not but if the club had given him a bit more time and organised his succession a bit differently we may have been less useless than under Wigley. In any case we should have given the job to Glen Hoddle but the board, on the back of supporter (or customer) frenzy, voted down Lowe's proposition. That probably irked him more than you can guess and he took the attitude that I'm right and I'll f*cking well prove it. The events that followed are well known.

What Rasiak who's been able to play just 18 games and score a sensational 3 goals?. Even McG has a better strike rate than that. Rasiak is one of the most overhyped players ever to grace English football. I bet if you knew a real Watford supporter they'd tell you that he is a complete waste of time and money. We should have tried to keep Saga though, that may have made a difference but if he played like last season perhaps not.

Even the "non-professionals" were of a better class in Bournemouth. Didn't chew gum, didn't drink pints, had some basic cultural knowledge.

There was always a better class of crumpet in Bournemouth, I remember it distinctly.

As head coach and not a manager in charge of scouting and recruiting. Lowe should have sacked him as well, after the home disaster against Ipswich back in January 2006. He didn't and gets his share of the blame in Burley's continued single handed destruction of the club.

Which player?? I think the offers we got were totally derisory, 200/250K for Surman and Lallana or thereabouts. the time to get Billy Davies was last January, as we all know we got Gorman and Dodd and then Pearson, the latter having done a respectable job in the fact that we stayed up-just,but wasn't Billy Davies. Davies might have been able to do something with us at that time, including keeping us in the FA cup and getting us a big payday (TV and gate) and autofinancing his post. That debacle against B Rovers was a true disaster in every sense, presided over by Gorman, Dodd and probably McMenemy.

Norwich losing was a good thing for us. Barnsley's recent results are atrocious and they've lost their last 5 I think. I still see the 3 to go down as Charlton,Barnsley and Watford Norwich have a difficult programme (mind you so do we) and their fate will be dictated by just 2 games,those against Watford and Charlton. Brynn Gunn is not a good manager and has no experience, neither do the guys at Charlton or Watford (apart from being coaches or assistants). True they beat Barnsley but then so did we, Wolves are beginning to fall away (again) and the draw Norwich got with them was a fair bonus but no great shakes.

Another player that we turned into temporary bad news,still he's doing tidily now in the Prem or so it would seem.

Exactly, shouldn't still be here, not because he's a ***t but because he's an extremely bad footballer.This is where the old management have left a terrible legacy for the current one. There are bad players,some of whom may be bad people to boot,who we just can't weed out because they're on too much money to be of interest to anyone else. It's a problem we've had for several years. Players who were respectable and performed reasonably elsewhere have just turned into complete dump the moment they put a foot inside our club. I blame Burley of course. He is the root cause of all of our current problems. I also blame of course anyone who should have sacked him 2 years ago and didn't.

It's also fractionally less than a third of the season left, which is a third better again.Just now 2 good games could tip the balance for any of 5 or 6 teams. Where were you all in our Premiership days,get those Great Escape T-Shirts out and start remembering.

That would be the Atlanta Falcons then. Awful team on the whole but Matt Ryan did a fair old job with it.

I was just thinking a bit of footage from our Alehouse era might dispel a few notions of our "glory days". There were games, seasons and eras when we were absolute junk.Nobody moaned though, well not all day and every day anyway. Nobody called for George Reader,Alan woodford or Ted Bates to resign on an hourly basis. There was a time,when TB was thought or rumoured or asserted to being kept in the job because his Mrs held sway in the boardroom or amongst shareholders.¨Probably not true but it certainly did the rounds when we weren't playing well. Football is a subject in which opinion,discussion and memory sometimes get out of control.

What about that bloke who owns the Patriots, doesn't he want to buy a "soccer" team? Perhaps we could get Kaka on free agency for a couple of 2017/8 first round picks, or one of T-Tim's starlets in the draft.

You're probably missing some Friends repeats as well. Must be on a channel near you.

I am an awful typist, I may miss out letters, or put in ones which do not belong but those that should be there are,usually, in the right order albeit infested by a few that shouldn't be or should be but aren't if you catch my drift.. In my day educated men did not type,they dictated or wrote in longhand. I guess I never got on the space age bandwagon on that one. Do not forget, one of the Apollo missions failed to take off because there was a comma missing in the program controlling(cobol or fortran I suppose) the launch sequence.I probably went to school with that guy.

And did you get to play for the Saints?? I mean not the A's, the real thing (well at least the reserves)

I was thinking about the Euell situation whilst driving home from work this afternoon. When he got sent of it probably cost us about 50K (or more's) worth of useless idleness.That's between 2 and 3 months pay for a CCC standard player.One rash tackle and bye bye 50K into the pocket of an idle waster.

Not to mention Okehampton and Boghampton. Ex Liverpool fan apparently, strange that, rich Liverpool fans always buy other clubs and become lifelong supporters. Same sort of thing about rich mexicans, they become spaniards.

Having seen from casual observation of this forum and it's predecessor that such tidbits are always swallowed hook,line and sinker.

I don't care either way, as long as we start next season free of leeches like Euell,Thomas and Skacel it'll be OK with me.

Definitely,definitely,definitely. Nick I wouldn't have thought you'd fall into the old definitely trap. God how that irks me that intelligent people can't spell that particular word. The rest I don't care about but it's pronouced definitely and can't even be the victim of transatlantic phonetic spelling.

£1, someone just told you that. He undertook to invest 30 million over a lengthy period of time. Which hasn't ended yet.

No it was explained to us last Summer by ones of superior knowledge. That nigh on everybody chose to ignore the fact and carry on thinking whatever suited their personal agenda is nor here nor there. JF was discussed on this (or the other) forum last summer and this fact was made known to us, by who?I can't remember.

26: seems like a good number.
