Legod Third Coming

CB, you forgot to mention that we achieved a three point gain on Gillingham that is irriversible. We also have a six point swing available on Leeds. And six point swings available on several top half teams. I know the road is long. But you can eat an aeroplane. Just ask Monsieur Mange Tout... just one component at a time!!

Agreed on Lambert. Two raking wing to wing passes which totally opened the opposition up. As for Waigo, he still looks like Bambi but his finish for the goal was pretty brave I thought. I think he's one of those guys who will only really put himself in harm's way when there's a goal involved! Otherwise, let him skip around and pull the defence apart. Like you, I don't think he will be a regular but he's an asset.

I thought it was Apfel Stroodle they served in Austria, not fecking great slices of humble pie... Mr, Lallana and Schneiderlin are the weak links!!!! Welcome to the party, Alpine.

I still think we will make the play-offs. Our early season games, as it turns out, were against some of the better teams in the league. We should be beating most of these teams easily with our squad. As regards Pardew and Strachan, I was merely pointing out to those who thought Pardew was underachieving that his early results are no worse than our most successful 21st Century manager...

Some marking is too high here and reflects the score line rather than the players I reckon We did well, we played ok on the whole, the front three/four were very good. But Gillingham were a poor side. Poor, poor side. They had shipped ten goals before today away from home and it's easy to see why. On the upside, the Gills are a mid-table League one side and it's those teams we have yet to play who we need to keep stuffing. A professional job, but not spectacular by any stretch. BTW, why bring Adam off on a hatrick??? How bizarre.

Give us a bell if you're going Chris. I might need calming down over a pint!

Safest way to get safe is simply to win every game. That often helps...

Agreed, soon as I have walked the dog, I am getting myself ready for a big win!

Well win five and draw one, yes. And we are helped by a reasonable GD - especially when you look around us. It really is an exciting table I think.

Er, aim for the bottom of the barrel and that's where you'll end up my friend! Aim for the moon and... well you know the rest...

Nah, not over 30 games! Have some dreams my friend! In fact, Huddersfield in 6th have only won 4 bloody games! Kinda puts our position into perspective! We win today, they lose, it all helps....

Incredible isn't it. After our start we are still only 16 points from a play-off place. I really hope our players can focus on this over the next few weeks. It really is nothing over 30 more games. It could be 13 points come five oclock. Don't give up hope yet!!!! COYFR!!!!!!

Ah, I may have misunderstood this then. I thought we were moving fans across behind the goal and moving away fans around the corner? This, in my view, would be a good idea!!!!!

Great action by a club which is now being run for the fans!

For this reason, the sentence is really wrong in my view. What value is it to anyone to lock the boy up? Will it bring back the dead? No. Will it prevent him doing it again? No. He will never ever take his eyes off the road again. Will it act as a deterrent? No, because there are countless people on here who prove it won't. All that happpens is it costs me money as a taxpayer and makes the family feel their loss is worth just 32 months. Better would have been to have the lad spend the next ten or fifteen years, one or two days a week working with young drivers, or young disadvantaged children or something that would have helped to deliver a value back to the society - maybe even a charity of the family's choice. This would help him genuinely atone, also help him to help the family all come to terms with their fate. As someone else said, this is tragedy all round. But also a wasted tragedy if the family sees no benefit and wider community learns no lessons or sees no benefit.

That's exactly what does happen. There are guidelines and I think (correct me) the maximum sentence for causing death by reckless driving is five years?? May be wrong. The point, however, is that this is a country that allows judges to determine the sentence based on the evidence presented - which should be a good thing. The problem comes when someone murders someone and is given a life sentence, which actually means 18 years, which could mean out after 9... In this case, I feel sorry for everyone involved. Mainly for the victim of course, but for everyone.

Agreed John, he is the best in my living memory - never saw Bradman - and also a brilliant captain and, while a bit arsy sometimes, also a really decent sportsman with a good sense of humour.

Early on he is really scratchy and nervy, at that point you have to pitch it up and bang on the stumps as he plays across the line a lot. Now he is in, we are well and truly farked!

More to the point, how the f u c k do we get Ponting out???!!!!!!

Although he is proving so at Plymouth, the reality was he won 50% of his games in charge as our manager. I defy you to find any other Saints manager with that record, ever!!!!!!!

Tbh I need a drink more frequently than that these days...

Hahahahahah - nice one.

First, on any measure of success Keegan has a tremendous record in club football. Win ratios and promotion, second to none. His only real failing was England. He wears his heart on his sleeve, so what? And to put to bed the myth about attacking football, when Newcastle finished second to Manchester United they conceded fewer goals. The following season, they conceded only four more... I would have loved him here as manager. But the time has passed. We have a manager. And what we need a DoF with no DoF experience for God only knows...

No one can deny that being in the relegation zone after nine games is a poor start (discounting the minus points). It's not good enough and things need to improve. Are they? Yes. Fast enough? No. Will they still further? We have to wait and see. My fervent hope is that by the end of October we will be firing on all cylinders. At the moment we are misfiring. The defence looks right but then concedes three. We can't score, then we do, but the defence concedes. And our finishing is just not good enough. on Tuesday we should have won 4-3 - we missed two great chances.

What about the left back where all three of Bristol Rovers goals came from? As opposed to the right back where none of their goals came from?
