They have admitted that their budgeting has been worked out on staying in the premiership. They will lose their high wage earners and need to rebuild, same with West Ham. What we didnt want was Blackburn and Wolves coming down so a good result for us IMHO. BTW - Welcome back to St Marys Mr Holloway......same league, who would have thought it eh ? :-D

Mr Holloway.....welcome to St Marys !! Who would have thought we would be in the same league when you got so upset with us back in January ? Not you cocker thats for sure :-D

2009 was worse, simply because unlike 2005 the writing was on the wall almost before a ball was kicked. The return of the reddy cheeked one, his dismissal of a manager who could have done well for us, as he went on to prove with 2 other clubs since, and the appointment of a couple of Dutch clogs nobody had ever heard of. The hostile atmosphere at St Marys when fans turned on fans was horrible, the kids out on the pitch who had no chance against most of the teams we played, the hatred directed towards those running, or ruining, the club etc etc. It was a 9 month long, slow painful death - at least in 2005 there was hope, albeit false hope, and even a chance to stay up, but not in 2009.

He THOUGHT he was. Swanned around like a big "I am" if I remember rightly. The fact he has spent the last two years mainly warming Notts Forest bench shows he isnt as good as he thought he was.

Incredible achievement in just 9 years.

How often do Rangers or Celtic compete reasonably or at all well in the Champions League group stages ? Didnt UEFA drop a place for Scottish teams from two to one cos they were so abysmal every year ? The answer to that is yes by the way, they did ! :-)

Just take a look at his posting history.....I suspect "margaret" is Michael Owen's auntie :-)

I would think so, sounds like an administrative nightmare to run, not to mention thousands upon thousands of extra calls for each individual match. Commercial suicide.

Isnt it strange how you can be made to feel so much better about yourself when and where you are least expecting it :-)

Unlike his father Jamie hasn't air brushed Southampton out of his history. Its surprising how many times in either his newspaper articles or on Sky he actually mentions us. After reading that I forgive him for that bloody awful Thomas Cook advert......almost !!

I felt like that when we signed Mark Hughes......and he did **** all to win me over in the time we had him which seemed like an eternity.

Thats just not true. Under the Dutch pillock we had he was our best player until he got a bad injury at QPR early on. Could definitely do a job in the Championship and if he still has a year of his contract left its not really an issue getting rid of him cos nobody will want him with the injury record.

After watching the MK Dons v Peterbro game I have seen a player who with the service we could supply would be fantastic. Sam Baldock.

Pleased about that, Adkins seems a really decent man and it appears that the players like and respect him. My only reservation is wether he would be good enough if and when we get back to the Premiership. Only time will tell, I for one hope he is cos i have no problem with him driving this bus for many years to come.

I'm pretty sure it will be this new European Scout/Director thing, epsecially given the "interview" in a Danish paper.

I very much doubt he has gone to Vegas.

Jordan Sibley must tweet these little teasers then log onto this site a few minutes later to see what mischief he has caused and have a bloody good laugh :-D

I dont know about a caption but he has the look of a Bond villan in that picture.

Not totally. He started off poorly but that was probably just new club syndrome. In the league Cup against Bournemouth he was dreadful. I think Pardew pulled him off at half time. He took a while to settle in. next year will be the test but I just cannot believe that so many on here are prepared to let Harding go. That is crazy.

does that apply to all clubs or just ours.....in your opinion of course ? Also, does that also apply to people who are members of the National Trust or a golf club or a sports centre etc cos it makes them, in your opinion, feel superior to those who just visit one National Trust home or park every year or play the odd round of golf when the weather is nice or use a Sports Centre swimming pool in the hot weather ?

The Most Boring Team at St Marys Award goes to Gus Poyet's Brighton and Hove Albion.

I thought i saw him yes.

Highs - The MK Dons comeback Oldham away The emergence of Alex Chamberlain ( I actually said in the first half against Bournemouth in the League Cup "the boy is out of his depth"....sorry Alex !!! ) The feeling at the final whistle against Plymouth last week and then again against Walsall on Saturday Lows - Rochdale home - it was abysmal Brentford home - the wheels came off the bus for that one The day Pardew was sacked - I was bloody livid.....still alls well that ends well :-)

You shouldn't be posting resonable logical posts like this on here !! Well said sir :-)

Not sure they will think of that. A player who has never played above League 1 ? Think Newcastle will be linked with far more name players than Rickie.
