See i cant believe that, when i had my ACL reconstructed the consultant came in and did a very important stage. He drew an arrow on the knee he was operating on.

Nice, where did you hear that ?

Actually taken a bet from my mate who said he would strip and rub his ballbag on Ted Bates statue if this happened. Oh, i would punch Dune

Currently injured. Wilkins said he was fearing the worst last night. Had a scan today. Anyone heard anything ?? I mean i knew the boy was good but it seems he is absolutely vital this year.

What do you train ?? You really need to be training playmaking to get anything out of an excellent coach

They acted like Sulky w*nkers because you listened to a poor performance on the radio ?? Good one They actually looked like they put a lot of commitment in, Jaidi looked commited, he also looked Sh*te Hammond did his usual run around a lot but played some poor balls. The only player that looked uncommitted for me was Lambert and he has been out of sorts all season.

Hardly much prem experience, you can name 100's of managers who have been in the prem at some point. Steve Wigley has premiership experience ffs. Did well in the cups ? He won the JPT trophy with a team that spent sh*t loads considering the league and came runner up in the FA Cup. Straws and clutching spring to mind.

Yeah i winced a little when i wrote his name

Thanks the9 absolutely spot on. I even turned to my mate and said the bolded bit when Harding (who is a bit of a d*ck at times shouting at everyone) had a go at him. He obviously isn't used to having the ball played infront of him, and is clearly right footed and likes playing inside so we stick him out on the left.......why ? He showed some decent touches, and some of the flicks came off but the experiment didn't work, i am not going to judge him as a player but the performance last night was poor. To say Fonte had a poor game is rediculous, he did what he could basically playing as two defenders and sometimes three behind Jaidi and Harding, i was bemused when i saw him sweep up behind the left back (he is a RCB ffs). Jaidi was so so poor last night, slow, cumbersome and lacked concentration, Fonte did well to do what he did and if i was him i would have come of the pitch livid i had to work so hard in such a poorly performing defence. Connelly looked bright for me, no one else really stood out except for Ox-C and puncheon who always looks dangerous but holds on to it too long. I have no idea whats up with Rickie.

TBF, VFTB also posted on another thread before the Bristol game that Pardew was on the way out, as did myself. As for the manager situation we will have to wait and see if what i was told is true, and if it is i will be pretty p*ssed off.

Not saying he shouldn't, he just seems pretty damn stubborn, which has good and bad points.

Heard exactly the same from Reading fans, who, after all he did for them don't like him.

It was cringworthy and rather pathetic, especially after those same fans boo'd some of Pardews teams performances this year. Fickle w*nkers.

TBF i think its more comical the sun making such a massive deal out of the whole issue, they could just ignore us instead they are looking like prats. If i were to put money on it i bet NC doesn't back down first.

Don't think it is just about the training. Some of the players are unhappy with some of the ways AP was working. AP had lost all interest working for NC but wasn't just going to walk (and TBF why should he?) So NC did what was needed. What i don't know, (as someone said earlier it was ML that wanted rid and not NC) is if the decision to lose AP at the end of last season was made why not do it then and get a new man in early ?? Another theory i shall chuck out there (and this is just IMO) is that perhaps NC thought if AP was chopped then AP,MS,RL would think about leaving and so keeping him in until the transfer window was all but shut would keep them at the club ?? Or perhaps something happened last week to really break the whole relationship ? What i do know is that the martin story is tripe.

Can i just state, what BPsaint is just not true. I am not calling him a liar, i just don't understand who would have said that to him. You are going to have to trust me on this.

I have heard that some of the players were a little unhappy with Pardew also, so this ties in with what i have heard. Also, why should Pardew or any manager have sole control over everything at a club ?? I have thought this for a little while now when sackings/leavings like this happen. Football has evolved and nowadays clubs need extensive coaching networks etc Pardew or any manager in his position is not going to know everything about everyone so co-operation is essential (all be it in correct levels).

Yeah i noticed, a couple got thrown out TBF. I do hate some of our fans at times, they were on the players backs after a matter of minutes. Then we had the 'on the pitch on the pitch' utter tards. The stewards were p*ssing a few people off as per usual, with their sit down tactics. My mate nearly got kicked out as they got everyone seated and he started singing 'stand up if you love the saints'. It made me lol, but i still called him a pr*ck.

I can agree with that actually, thought the same myself. Sorry, i thought you meant uncommitted.

It not so much what i choose to believe but what i know is true

TBF the only player that looked completely out of sorts was Lambert, the rest tried hard but nothing came off. Fonte looked 100% committed to me, Hammond was full of passion, Connelly played his heart out. The only player that looked uncommitted was Rickie, and i am not reading loads into it as he has been totally out of sorts all season so far. Jaidi is well past it and cost us two out of three goals tonight.

Some of us do know it isn't

Its boll*cks.

Spot on Wes Made me cringe every time they started singing for Pardew

Nurse !!!!!!!!!!
