Saint Pete

I'm pretty sure you've been predicting that for the past 21 home league games or so. I suppose you will be proven right eventually.

Just bought 2 tickets online in Block 3, so looks like they are releasing tickets gradually in this corner now.

Anyone know if that includes blocks 1-3, or whether they have yet to be put on sale?

Football League site says he's on 7 too, so looks like Hammond's OK? Maybe the difference is Cup games?

Sounds like a decent performance, but unable to get the all important first goal that would have opened the game up for us. Lambert's form definitely a concern now though. Our bench today showed that we need at least one more scoring threat to come in soon. Anyone know where Connolly was today? Sounds like a game that was made for him to come on and get the breakthrough.

But wasn't the Tranmere result and performance against a dire Tranmere side?

We'll never know now will we, as we got shot of our manager after 3 games of the season. What we do know is that we got 83 points last season with Pardew in charge, so he can't have been that bad.

If Cortese wants Adkins, he should be prepared to pay compensation. End of. If the boot was on the other foot and another club wanted our manager, I'm sure that is what we would expect and demand. I can't really believe that what S****horpe are asking for is a huge amount of money, so it concerns me a bit that Cortese is so reluctant to pay it - may be our financial situation going forward is not as rosy as we've been led to believe ?

But who's to say that those 2 prem managers would do a better job? At least Adkins has a proven record at this level.

Has this continental style coach crap ever worked in English football ? It's certainly failed enough times, including at Saints. Let the manager manage, that's what I say !

Sorry, but no-one with any sense would sack their manager based on results after just 3 league games (one of which we won 4-0!) If Cortese was unhappy with Pardew at the end of last season (which he had no reason to be based on performance), he should have had the bottle to get rid of him then. Having to get a new manager in now, at the end of the window, is the worst of all worlds IMO.

Rediculous decision by Cortese - how anyone can defend it, I do not know. We were strong favourites in my eyes to get promoted with Pardew in charge. Now, who knows?
