Repeat of last seasons result at the Galph; 3-1 to the Terriers.

Exactly.

Why do people keep bleating on about Pardew? He's gone, we have Adkins now, so shut up and get on with supporting Nige and the lads...

To be fair, in the past months, apparently Chelsea were going to bid £8m for him, Spurs are going to buy him, as are Wolves. Everyone will be linked with him. But with our supposed financial muscle, we should be able to wait for the biggest offer.

In regards to an earlier post. I was at the Bristol Rovers match, and if I'm honest, we didn't actually play that well. I'm not going to lie just to spite Pardew, because he did well last season after the points deduction (even though he had no plan b and never talked about creating one, instead saying he would buy a Rickie Lambert cover-player (which he didn't)). We weren't anything special that day, and if Rovers weren't so poor we may not have scored 4 and would've probably conceded. Pardew's style of play was frustrating to watch, and though it got us plenty of goals, it also saw us lose 3-1 at home to Brighton, concede 3 at home to Bristol Rovers, and concede 2 at home to Hartlepool. I barely remember games in which we didn't concede. Our defensive leaks have already seemingly been plugged by Adkins. I feel we have a real gem on our hands with Adkins. He seems passionate and I think suits us better than a big-ego (that used to manage West Ham, didn't you know?). I think we're going places under Nige, and in a much more watchable way than we might have under Pards.

Keep the good advice going. I've wipped out the notepad.

Turkish sounds like a really, really boring old man frustrated because he has never truly understood how to enjoy life, spending his days staring through a rain-splattered window longing to be happy.

Most teams do, especially Spurs We just seem to make it waaaayy too fast so it quickly descends into a pile of undistinguishable noise. Shame, because it is "our" song...

I personally find the "Who?!?" shout quite amusing. Lighten up mate.

I love the strength in depth we have defensively. That's something really positive about Pardew's reign.

My guess is Barnard defended himself against the two strapping lads with the on thing he had in his hand - a bottle. That is all.

Ah, like what happened to Gerrard? Yeh I know what you mean...

If this is true he could be doing quite some time... Let's get looking for a quality striker please.

We're doomed without Barnard. Bring in a striker, quickly. Connolly is crocked so all we have is an off-form Lambo. Great. Cheers for that Barnard.

I watched us at the Mem, and to be fair we weren't anything special. It was a similar performance to the Plymouth game, it's just that Rovers were god awful.

Haahaa. I hope they enjoyed their day out at our delightful stadium.

Fight in the city centre too. Hope B'muff get relegated.

Lol. Arguing about whether people booed Cortese at Wembley. Does it really matter??? I heard no one around me, but there were boos. Quite pathetic really, especially as the Pardew rumour was later deemed untrue by Cortese.

No. Just not true. He's great for this league but would struggle innthe Championship.

Who?!?!?!? FFS, he's been here for a couple of weeks, and we were heavily linked previously, so why don't you know how to spell his name? Adkins.

Yeovil 2 Saints 1 Oxlade with the goal after being threaded through by Morgan.

If he wants to go, let him go. It'll be a shame, but we need players who are comitted and want to play for us.

Lallana'll be gone soon anyway.

Says who?

I agree to an extent to be fair, but expectation itself can be negative to the team (if they aren't used to pressure). But I think it's looking good compared to last year. Maybe we'll finish 2nd if we're lucky?? I think we'll get a playoff position though, unless we start scoring soon.
