My comiserations to draganov, Hebridean, Pokerchamp and spyinthesky....

Yep, you wait until St. Will sees that comment:smt013

Well thats my hundred quid gone then. On the bright side, Lowe and Askham have lost their little nest-eggs completely.

heheheheh

Do us all a favour and keep in there...

My thinking too, but I can understand people thinking the other way round, considering how pish our defence has been for so long.

Doesnt that sort of undermine the principle of "exclusivity" though ?

*sighs*

Splendid.

I read this thread and think that the accusation of not having something proper to moan about shouldnt just be levelled at me. Who gives a shiny one if Fry got lucky ? How often have we suffered bad luck ? Michael Svensson's injury had the biggest impact of any injury on this club probably in its entire history. We should be grateful that he recovered from one possible flawed judgment. Multi-national companies go down on the basis of single decisions, you know. He seems to have done his job by the numbers apart from that, and a successful conclusion (that we ALL, except a pig farmer in the Cotswolds, are happy with) was reached.

We have Perry and Thomas. We have no other pacey midfielders, since we do not know how the Papa loan is going to work out.

And I get told I have issues. I wonder when people will finally have closure on what happened. Back in the CCC ? Reckon we'll be there this next season or the one after latest. Back in the PL ? Sadly, I think it might not happen, or it will be a bounce up-and-down. Besides, I think the whole League format is going to go through a few big changes in the next 5-odd years.

I "didnt leave the thread alone" and "barged in" because I have every right to express the opinion that the nit-picking is counter-productive. Where did I say I am not interested ? I just dont think this is the time or place for it. Got it ? You can now start the fight you seem to be itching to start if you want. I would suggest calling me a tw*t.

Is Mellis willing to be cover for Antonio ? If I were asked which loan I would prefer to be turned into a permanent signing come January, I would put them in this order : Antonio Trottman Mellis

I really have difficulty in understanding why this one is still rumbling along. I understand Dunc's gnawing curiousity and desire for events to be documented as part of the history of the club, but what value does analysis of Fry's actions add to the club ? We survived and are bouncing back because in no small part due to his efforts. Criticism of Fry makes about as much sense as criticism of Crouch.

Jerusalem Abide With Me Eternal Father, Strong to Save GSTQ is sh*t, the Americans, Germans and French have better national anthems than us. Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia are ridiculous jingositic b*ll*cks considering the state of the country that only jumped up toffee-nosed twerps that attend Last Night of The Proms enjoy nowadays.

Eamon De Valera was a pr*ck of the highest order.

We should tw*t them to Kingdom Come now then.

That's rubbish. Lowe originally did not intend to resign. Fry made it a condition of his appointment as administrator. Fry is on record in an Echo interview giving this sequence of events. So my earlier post is correct: we might have found a buyer a lot harder to come by if Lowe had still been on the scene during administration.

You are entitled to your opinion, as am I. Far as I am concerned, he played a siginificant role in saving the club. He made a reluctant Lowe resign. If Lowe had stayed on during admin, we might never have found a buyer with his interference. You can trust whoever's judgement you like, as far as I am concerned.

Indeed, I have no problem with him getting a pat-on-the-back either. On balance, we should be grateful to him

We are damned lucky to have both Lambert and Connelly. Let's hope they stay fit.

Wouldnt mind Leeds. Some early scouting..

This was a reasonable post I was about to respond to until the dig at the end I've highlighted. How do you I dont enjoy victories ? Its a pity you dont know my kids, who would describe to you how I reacted when I managed to get a WAP connection from my phone at the Austrian Bundesliga game I went to at the same time as the Saints game against MK Dons, near the end of the second half, and saw the score.

Not even sure I could relax and enjoy it then, to be honest....
