Is he Welsh?

I stand corrected re Saints Aid, here's the motley crew (a few past and present tsw posters mixed in). SAINTS AID ORGANISERS ARE Lee Marchant Nick Illingsworth Daren Wheeler Simon Richards Glynn Root David Reid David Extance Colin Holton Louise Park Dean Rider http://webdesign.utmost-affinitygroup.co.uk/index.html

I'd even say to rule out Colchester. They're sh1t and have been well lucky to be where they are all season - now theyre getting the results they deserve..

Can someone clear this Saints Trust/Saints Aid link up for me please. Was it the same people involved with both? I thought it was different people.

You know **** all.

Waste of time. If he has an addiction the only way he's going to break it is to get away from the circle of people that are part of it. It's not difficult once you've made this step.

Won't be there but if we somehow make the play-offs i'll crawl back out the woodwork.

BTW where's Diggers? I've checked his profile and he's logged on here enough times, but never bothered to comment. Funny isn't it how you couldn't shut him up when he was trying to sell the event but now he's gone all quiet.

Who's to say he wants/needs support. He enjoys getting off his head. So what.

That sounds like me.

When you say "we" who are you refering to? Nicola Cortese does need a DOF in my opinion because it would help him make the right decisions having an extra pair of eyes and ears. At present he's pretty isolated having no board of directors as such.

In respect of point 1 i think what is needed is a director of football to act as a middleman between the chairman and Pardew. AP is imo becoming too big headed and know it all - Brighton being a prime example of a pig headed manager that wouldn't admit he'd got it wrong and make the necessary changes when there was still time. With a director of football (possibly an Italian) it brings in new ideas and a better method of comunication.

Snow?

I accept your point that we have only got slightly worse over the past 4 months, but considering the money spent that really isn't good enough. The first 10 games of the season we were rubbish, the next 10 we were really good (that's when we narrowed the gap) and for the 18 games since that we've made no progress at all at narrowing the gap. So in a nutshell we've gone from poor to good to average. That's not good enough and I really worry that next season it's going to be the same old story with pardew playing negative football away from home and Saints underachieving.

Well i'm sorry i didn't make it clear I didn't want Lambert subbed to be replaced by Waigo. I'd have thought it would have been obvious i wanted Waigo up front with Lambert making a 442.

I said at the start of the second hald that Pardew needed to bring Waigo on and at halftime that we were lucky and needed to get to h/t and regroup. That one up front formation was a joke, but i gave Pardew the benefit of the doubt, but it was clear that it wasn't working so he should have changed it at h/t or not long into the half as i said. As for surious facts being dragged up you're talking rubbish. The facts i've dragged up are completely relevent and reflect the season perfectly because they are the facts of the season.

Isn't it Pardew that keeps spouting off about us reaching the playoffs?

The tactics last night at Brighton illustrate the point perfectly. Playing 1 up front when we needed the win is sheer incompetence on the part of Pardew.

For the initial 6 games i think it's reasonable to expect a MINIMUM (that means more woould be nice) of 11 points. As for your other comment i've ignored the name calling from you up unitl now, but i cannot ignore your final comment. Can you justify this "piggy backing on other peoples opinions" remark as i've not got the fogiest what you're on about.

I've got nothing to dig myself out of.

And i'm so glad Nicola Cortese is because i'm sure he won't accept mediocrity and inconsistency like some of you lot would.

Yes. You could hardly sack him unless we start badly, but there's got to be improvement on this season in the following games.

The table doesn't really come into play at this time, but in terms of results a minimum of 11 points.

Half a dozen.

I've already said i'd give Pardew next season and assess him on how we start. If we are not at or near the top early doors then get rid. I don't think we should mess about keeping him if he doesn't get his act together from the start.
