Saint86

********, i agree about our legs being gone. now dreading saturday

The difference is that kelvin was playing behind a **** defense, and in fairness, Gazza has dropped more points for the team in 3 matches against **** opposition than kelvin did against the countries better team. So yeah, KD back in goal please.

Surley this seasons white kit is the worst kit of all time? At least the club seem to think that because we never flipping wear it...

KD back please. Enough of this tiresome error filled keeping. Adkins also to blame for subs, or lack off. 85min for first unforced change. **** me but the world could seeour players ere tired. that said its nice to be disappointed just to draw for a change. although it is a luxury we can't afford to often.

Wow, a civil and interesting debate. Good work ladies. I take my hat of to u x

I think Adkins could be a great manager, and my god I hope he gets the chance to do it with saints and we keep him for the next 20 years tbh. I see him as potentially our Ferguson and someone who may surpass LM in what he "could" do for the club in recent times. But it is so insulting to have the same people, ramming their negative, and minority views down our throats all the time, then dismissing everyone who disagrees with them ( ~80% of fanbase according to the echo) with snide sarcastic remarks, insults or just flat out telling them they are wrong - sticking their fingers in their ears and singing lalala. The fact that we have such weak fans makes me want to vomit. After everything we have been through you'd think they would have toughend up a bit, but no, defeats to top top clups and others in the European positions and that is it, people start on the bad wagon and adkins is suddenly a clueless mong who doesn't know how to motivate players, make substitutions or all the other claptrap - i.e "has lost the dressing room" a few games back. Its just plane embarrassing. Sometimes I wish these fans would go and go and support someone else isince all they seem to do is attempt to dictate these views onto the forums, a discussion is fine, but threads that start by stating thier view as a fact and then treating other posters with straight out rudeness is just going to get everyone's backs up. As has been seen in the last week... Thats the last I am going to say on it.

So basically, you assumed that Nigel was a moron and couldn't fix the problem? After the 2 years he has given us you were ready to doubt and ditch him after about 3 or 4 bad performances. (I give you the credit of you not assuming we would beat city, utd etc). Basically DPS, you summarise what is wrong with british football, why we have no patience, no development and ultimately a **** national team. You need stability and trust to allow people to develop. Not, oh well, the good 2 years are over, 4 weeks of this crap and the man is clearly useless. Its bull****. Congrats on being a man and saying you were wrong ofc.... yada yada, moral highground for the negative few as always. You are firmly in the alpine bracket for a lot of people i suspect.

I was told that anything controversial can not be shown as a result of the south Africa world cup and the referees watching replays to change decisions - and make the correct decision. Platini can't be having that now can he!

I agree with your post, I think with an inform punch, AL and Gaston we have 3 fantastic skillful attackers, i also think that is faster than he looks - the number of times he charged through the middle whilst dribbling leaving NUFC players in his wake was a joy to behold! Also, his skill. even when he miss controlled it he kept the ball I think he is quality and his work rate is fantastic also! However, I can not agree with your description of Lambert as "hardly lacking pace", (I assume you were referring to him in your 4 players.) Seriously, he was the slowest player on that pitch... what have you been smoking??

Cracking game, and if you want to feel even better then check out the NUFC forum match thread. Classic! Flew back from Ceylon yesterday and was iffy about going today but sure glad I did. Great team performance, they all had good games but Punch, Lallana, Gaston, Cork and Morgan bossed it for me! Fonte was also superb at the back and was totally on his game. Also what looked like a fantastic save from Gazza with some good antics and goalie celebration to remember for the 2nd goal! Think he has a quality sense of humour and confidence for such a young and inexperienced keeper! Also, I may be proved wrong on MOTD, but I think that has to be the worst referee and linesmen double act I will ever see. Sadly it won't get shown fully on MOTD but he missed so many blinders, throwings, corners... was ridiculous. I'm not even mentioning the penalty or offside goal. Atkinson should be struck off. Horrendus!! Its a bigger positive for me today that we won against 12men than the fact that is 3 games unbeaten or that we got a clean sheet etc. He was that bad.................!!! So Referees - this is for you... ,,|,,

So your saying that NC doesn't decide whether we sign a player or not. Very interesting. I thought mlg's post was valid in this case. Yours was claptrap.

That shortcut was placed their based on your browsing record. Not much too see of keira knightly I would have though. But to each his own on another note. Puts to bed our fan base having racist elements. Not that it was ever deniable. But glad to see the general reaction on here and that it was 'glared' down at the game. At least no one let Adkins down by doing monkey actions!

Tuned in from Sri Lanka, 1-0, 2-0 thinking this is to gud to be true. Can't here radio here. It's 2-1 give me a summary sum1 please :

In Sri Lanka so not sure I can listen to this on a remote hotels WiFi. However I will be following the threads so keep em upto date! Come on saints. A gud win here could safe our season... A bad defeat could easily be bye bye Nigel! It's got a lot riding on it!

Alpine... I think the only thing in control of your emotions is lithium tbh. Half your depressive coments are hypothetical and off topic and waste readers time. The thing everyone agrees on is that we want saints to win. We don't want an apparent manic depressive telling us we are wrong unless we state that saints will fail with no better response from u than sarcas We have good players and a good manager. We also lack a GUD defensive leftback. Nigel doesn't need to go. And I would rather keep him AND GWT relegated than hire say bfs and stay up. Seriously.

Alpine just plane no, at the time yes! But that was years ago, he is passed it and lost the drive.... or he would have managed at a decent level for the past "X" years. I wanted him back before for sure. But not now! Nigel deserves this month to see if he can make it.

I'd rather see him as a deep defensive midfielder right in front of the back 2 to break up any pesky balls that come their way - or runs - such as the goals WBA scored from. MS needs a kick up the backside and should be dropped.

Oh god. I have big thumbs :'(

He was ML's right hand man which is good enough for me. He talks a good talk when he deems it is time. And aside from the so far proofless rumours, he has done all right by Nigel and by Saints. Pardew we.t for hitting on a star signings wife. The story went up o. The BBC from one of their reporters before being take. Down very hurridley and the whole media scene going hush. No one has spoken since. To me that is proof of AP's guilt as much as Les Reed getting him sacked or all the current rumours u here. Also, parses went after a 4-0 win with a fraction of the money spent that Nigel has had. I tell you, he would be long go.e and over the hill if NC wanted him out. He doet need excuses and does what he wants. He has made a lot of the together as one speak and the 5 year plan. If we put up a four and go down I think NA could stay. As I said... He'd be long gone if the don wanted it.

U are aware we played 4-2-2-2 right? Armchair manager. Pfft. Offer fair criticism at least mate

Unlucky tonight. Had to win which suited west brom. They are a good side sadly. Even so we've been screwed over. Handball +deflected goal, crossbar, penalty not given. Sigh. We are the only team to stay up from this position. Chin up. Also fantastic support to those who went. And nice touch between the fans and Nigel at the end. Clyne our best player? Think he gets it for me anyway. Unlucky all. Frustrating as hell when we lose to a team who sit there and counter. But we have to cut out the mistakes. I.e. Davis for second goal! Ramirez also not match sharp. And although they were isolated I thought jayrod was disappointing tonight.

Quality defense of Nigel by Gary Neville there. Do people still think its all his fault and must go?

Muse - Butterflies and Hurricanes. Sums us up brilliantly, from administration to the premier and then the current situation.

Just sounds like a load of faffing change control to be honest. People need to stop making an mountain out of a molehill.

DPS, his post far exceeds yours in content to be honest. Both your original post and your response quoted here.
