Smirking_Saint

Don't mind. I reckon we could start with Bunjee jumping, its ok, being new besties i can check your cord for you, i don't mind.

I used to do a bit of rock climbing, that was alright. Done caving, that was alright. Always wanted to do bunjee jumping or jump out of a plane or something. I find the thing i seem to always go back to is getting boll*cksed with the lads mind.

Carroll is far from convincing me yet.

this, win ratio isn't that relevant in this league with our cash and in fact isn't that good when you weigh it up

He did ok, not great He was a planner not a decisive, reactive manager. 8/10 managers would have finished the season like he did last year. Wasted a chance to be in the npc on a tin pot trophy. tactically 1 dimensional failed to strengthen egotistical and after what i have heard deserves to go

Yeah big mistake with the baldness, tried it once, never again. I have a nice carpet on mine, like a welcome rug. But only a thin one and not for rubbing your shoes in

No its a blip, Saints will still go back to the better than england days mark my words. How anyone can think England are better than us when we have such caliber as Pulis AND wotton on the bench.

I wasn't Pardews biggest fan, everyone probably knew that before the sacking, he just didn't set the world alight for me but hey ho me and you have already discussed his merits so i won't start again, everyones opinion is different etc. I can't see anyone having a pop at Lambert though, he is just off colour, which worries the f*ck out of me as it seems our entire game plan at times revolves around him.

10 AM Tuesday, it will be Howe

Says the bloke who pretends to be drunk at least once a week

Oh yeah we can do that, i suppose you are lonely now SRS has been banned

Funnily enough i think that quite regularly with your posts

Were not far from top spot TBF. Still in with a shout if we appoint someone to get the best out of us soon. I am glad we are waiting for the right appointment as there is no point rushing into things. The league is all over the place atm, no one is setting the world alight.

Dunno, i wonder if he is NC's spin doctor

True, and Les Reed knows nothing about football.....priceless

Spot on as usual Chez, i got slagged off last season for saying the better CB's in the air get the better of Rickie.

Not really re-writing history, Pardew did ok. But hardly set the world alight did he ? He achieved the average last year really, he never made the playoffs, we won the JPT but as i have said before i would hand that back for even a coin toss to get into the NPC. Shurlock summed up his tenure earlier in one of his posts, he signed obvious talents, yes he did well with Lallana but anyone with a set of eyes saw the boy had talent if played correctly. He signed a RB this year, but never addressed the CM, back up to Rickie (which is obvious considering the way we play) and a bit of pace. A lot more to saints ?? Not really a lot, we play football every now and again but more often than not it falls to the big hoof to him. What makes me laugh is the hero worship of Pardew really, he was ok, but never set the world alight. But then its ok because Pardews tactics and team are still performing so well this season under Wilkins............................oh

I would be happy with that, WITH clark

I don't get Dowie, he has never achieved anything of note. Edit - Forgot about Palarse I wouldn't want him as manager. I would love Howe, MON, Adkins. Would be ok with Curbs, Zola and even Brown (if he got away from his Ego a little bit, we have had one like that already). Curbs i would wonder about his desire, he has been out of the game a long time.

Lol Glad you never saw Pardews tactical genius.

Its saints, its the hard way or no way.

It's ok, Cortese will do, he has got rid of the tactically clueless mr egotastical.

This is spot on. Doddisalegend has his bellend so far up Pardews ring piece that even when alan is running away he is still along side him to give him support. Fact is, if Pardew wasn't backed then he wouldn't have been saying he was trying to get signings in and nor would Wilkins. Face it Dodd's, you are too far up Pardews ars* to admit he wasn't good enough. Oh i wish you knew the truth, but then i think you would still back him to the hilt. You might as well change your username to captain darling.

Easy, Pardew never strengthened in the summer, he never got the team ready for this term, never taught them a plan B. lallana is injured. Lambert is injured. Jaidi is sh*te. Hammond can't pass. Our owner died. Our manager is sacked for what we can only assume was an incident somwhere. Is it any wonder the club is shell shocked.

This I love teh supper dooper know it alls that think everything was rosy in Pardew land. Fact is it wasn't, fact is this sh*te, one dimensional rely on Lambert bringing down the hoof ball football was all Pardews idea. Remember that Northam actually Boo'd him for all the home games in charge he had at St Mary's. Remember the fact he didn't have a clue what to do if his plan A didn't work. But more importantly, even if it was all NC's fault, i don't want someone managing at St marys who has not the full support of the chairman, Pardew has always been an arrogant w*nker who has fell out somewhere or another everywhere he has gone. NC has moulded us into a club that is now geared for teh top tier, wow, pardew won the JPT, so F*cking what ? Wembley was a good day out but i still woke up this season wondering why we are still in this godforsaken league with the likes of Rochf*ckingdale. Perhaps without this wonderful *cough* tin pot trophy we would be in the NPC by now ??
