SFC Forever

I am sorry but where have I said such a crass thing. At no time have I suggested he sends the team out to lose. Again you fail to comprehend what is being said. The crowd at several of our games and not just the Brighton one has called for a change when we see as a whole that the system is not working. If we as mere fans can see that something is so wrong so should he in respect to him be able to do likewise. Over the length of the season we have had several instances whereby AP has been questioned by us as to his capabilities. Whist we do this, we are not in my case anyway, demanding an instant sacking. We are trying to figure out why these situations arise. The one thing that seems strange to me is how people jump straight on to the attack because we have dared to question AP. No sensible dialogue such as for the game against Brighton where the substitutions were left so late when it could be seen that we were struggling. Nobody has come out with a reason which would explain this. Even if only opinion it is what we look for. It is easy to castigate but not so easy to explain or to even offer some possibilities.

Sometimes I think us lesser mortals use examples that don't work as intended. You though just want to flex your muscles like a lot on here and give verbals. Maybe my education is of a similar level to his because I can see where he is going with his remark. AP has put a team together that is much better than what was here when he arrived. We are still short of a genuine midfield general that would sort out a lot of our woes but that is a seperate issue. Having bought these players and brought some in on frees he has yet to show us the conviction of his own worth. Send the troops out to win the games. Is that asking too much ? Change the formulae when it so obviously isn't working. Like 20 minutes before he did with our crowd baying Barnards name over and over again. Is that asking too much?

3rd time lucky

deservedly so as well.

You call people like him deluded but moan if someone says the same about you or the people like you who trust Pardew utterly. I at no time have asked for Pardew to be removed. I would though, like to see him try attacking teams with our firepower in a way that suits our team better. I have followed our team since the days of Derek Reeves and have enjoyed(?) the ups and downs of life as a Saints fan. I will still say what I feel and if you don't like it too bad. I believe Alan Pardew has cost us points through his choice of players and poor substitutions. Alan is, unless you know different, like you(?) and me a human being. We all make mistakes and being in the spotlight as he is he will know where he stands. He is no more perfect than us just better informed, we are supposed to believe. Nickh you talked disparagingly about me earlier as though you know me. I am not in your incrowd any more than you are in mine. You know absolutely nothing about me and I like it that way. So do not make a throw away remark about me unless you know me. Call me stupid or dumb for my beliefs as is the norm but do not say I have or have not done something when you do not know me.

You say that but Pardew has already stated that we will be buyingg more in the summer.

It is not the defeats alone that is hurting us. It is us having a manager who leaves his best options either on the bench or at home when we need them. Pardew has possibly cost us enough to make the play offs comfortably. All teams can lose a game but there is losing because your opponent played well and losing because you failed to play at all.

Not as many more as we should have.

Lack of a manager that can change things early enough when necessary.

Still got this season.

Stuff everything else. I want to see Deano lift the cup on Sunday. No more no less, for now.

No joke

We have finally seen AP change something that was not working, early.

I just might have to be the oldest ever season ticket holder to make that.

There has to be someone to moan about. Nick for this thread is it.

Thank You

To be honest with the size of our squad I hope we do lose some players.

Why do you always rubbish someone because they are not happy with a manger that has allowed our team to drift away from the playoffs. A few on here have said over and over again the team needs a midfield general. Pardew is paid more than I have ever seen in one hand to do a job. He is not doing it well enough at the moment and some of us have said so. You just react with childish petulence by coming out with some stupid remark.You don't need to be a professional to know that we are struggling in games that we should be winning. For me and others this is because the manager has not bought a dirty hard play breaking midfielder. Every big team that wins consistantly has at least one. We have players that can play pretty football. To a higher standard than that of last year agreed, but we have no obvious leader.

Perhaps videos of the 70's/80's games before the hatred appeared would benefit. The 4-0 win over Les Bleus would help as it clearly shows both sets of supporters rubbing shoulders together nice and peacefully

Lambert will stay. I believe anyway. Hulls interest is not much good to them as he would be going to a team relegated.

Give us a left sided Jason Puncheon and watch us go.

Tranmere did not play better than us. They won through a soft free penalty. We had a shout in the first half for a far better one and again before the rovers one when barnard was shoved in the back. We need a strong athletic midfielder at times who can lift this side of ours over some awkward games. Something that I have grown tired of saying for a very long time.

By Xmas we had got to a 9 point gap I believe. Since then we have dropped further behind. Though the ten poits is a big factor in our position it is only that. The points lost to inferior teams away from home is the main reason why we are not doing better this season.

I t doesn't matter what we believe. The team still believes and that is the crux

Emjoy the game
