Saint Fan CaM

Like I was saying - LOL!

Come on you f-ing Saints....Goooollllyyyy!!!

Missing you already! (;

Oldham putting us under some pressure - here comes a goal I feel.

Solent still gushing about F-ing Howe while the game has started.

Shocking service from the forum server - I don't usually have these problems.

Oh yes!!! Saint 2-0 - Lallana you beauty!

Hehe - Jaidi playing like a 19 year old - Solent. lol

Sounds like the Oldham crowd are getting pretty hacked off with their players. (:

Hopefully that means they'll shut up shop and cruise to a win! lol

Chambo brought down cynically - 1st booking. They're getting frsutrated.

Solent saying that Saints have a good shape about them - Oldham not being allowed to play.

Saints supporters are sounding alive and loud - well done lads.

Great stuff - Plymouth go 2 up.

Sounds like we're giving them some real problems.

Yeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Puncheon = sale imminent?

Come on you Saints. Let's do 'em - with Plymouth winning this is our chance to cement our place above Bumfluff.

Sky are reporting he's almost certainly off to Charlton. I think its a big risk for him - this could mess up Bumfluff and Charltons promotion push to a degree - i.e. it could dent their chances of auto spots - which can only be a good thing for us. I just cannot see him doing the same job at Charlton myself.

I am not so sure about this one. He will be a squad player at best as I cannot see him displacing Lambert, Barnard and Guly. I suppose if Connolly is released he might get the occassional look in - but could he really hack-it at a higher level and do we want to take that risk? And before someone cites Martin - yeah sure, but he's not played for ages anywhere near the 1st team.

My take on it is that Cortese realises that to deliver a long-term plan you need a team of committed people all pulling in the same direction. If someone as influential as the Manager and one or more of his staff are undermining that in any way shape or form, then it's time for those disruptive elements to be removed for the betterment of all. I didn't agree with the sacking in the first instance, but I have to say that I am greatly impressed with the courage Cortese has shown removing Pardew and then his excellent choice with Adkins. Mind you, it's not clear Adkins would have taken up the post earlier in the year. Perhaps the timing was just right?

I think if you were to have a little look back at most of the goals we've conceded this season, Bart would have made no difference to the scoreline. In terms of shot stoppers, I would say they are on even matching even though Bart has had less opportunity to show what he can do. On the other hand, I believe that Davis' distribution, while not perfect is currently better than Barts and as such provides better attacking opportunities. Overall then, Davis still has the upper hand and of course is Club Captain - something he has earned as a time-served professional.

Fair enough, but kids running around in a corporate area is perhaps not what some punters really wanted to experience for their £49+VAT I suspect. I agree about the seating issue though - I have been thinking about trying it out, but not getting a seat would really spoil it for me.

I blame the parents. I have four kids who are now adults so I'm not kid shy, but I it drives me nuts that some parents just don't know how to control their offspring (or just don't give a toss). Kids will be kids, but there's no excuse for bad behaviour in a public place so others have to suffer.

Kind words - easy when you've got a squad that will almost certainly walk all over us.
