Rudi flattered to deceive. I cannot ever remember him being man of the match.

yep, that sums up his ability exactly.

Bart had a very good game and his handling was excellent bearing in mind the slippery conditions. I liked the way he came out for crosses too. With him setting up the last goal too, will produce loads of confidence.Well done Bartman.

What?

Pardew is so honest in his interviews. It is refreshing that he sees the game exactly as most of us do on this forum.

I do, as we would get a good gate and we need to get one over them for turning us over at Dean Court in pre season, albeit with a different team than we have now.

I always thought Camara (The skate one) was something to do with the award.

Has anybody ever heard from Fry about their shares in Southampton Leisure Holdings Ltd?

That was useful and nice to watch. Thank you Saint John.

He will be ok given time. No worse than BT when we first signed him at that age.

Cannot argue with that but Rikki has a better first touch than Beattie

FF has a good point here. I believe there was a feature in the programme last week on Davy Burnside, so it seems strange that there was no representative at the Funeral, as obviously the club knew about his demise. I believe that someone should have gone to represent the Club, even if that person did not know him personally. Isn't that what our ambassadors are supposed to do?

I have acquired a 450mm galvanised pipe flag pole which is split into 4 x 5 foot pieces that screw together.. I wish to cement a 350mm galvanised pipe into the ground, over which I shall "sleeve" the Flag Pole. This will aid removal for decoration, maintenance etc. I need to know the depth of the 350mm pipe below ground and its height above ground please?

Agree that is a difficult problem. The only thing Pards can do is to tell them that there is no future for them at SMS and they must look for another club now. The alternative is to get forgotton in the reserves so no club would have heard of them and thus their wages will reduce substantially when they are out of contract. Similarly there will be numerous players looking for clubs at the end of the season and therefore they may not find a club at all, if they leave it to then.

I did not see that--made be laugh though.

Agree entirely.

A good read. Thank you. Just goes to show what happens when you have proper people running our club.

Pards has built this team himself with his astute signings. He could see where we were lacking and has rectified it. He was able to see our shortcomings just as many of us who post on this site could and his interviews and tactics prove this.Long may it continue

I enjoyed the game very much.Trotman mom for me, He did not put a foot wrong and sweeps up well after Jaidi. MKD never looked dangerous. Harding had so much room at the back it was unbelievable. The subs turned the game. Antonio with his pace and ability to beat a man and get to the bi line to cross and Connolly for his awareness around the box. James still makes me a little nervous as he seems to stand off his man too much and allows him to turn but he did put in some good crosses today. There were times when our defenders were heading the ball in the air too much instead of trying to head it down but that is nit picking. The Team played well, our manager's tactics were spot on and we are a good team now. Well done Saints.

Much appreciated you two.A very good and interesting read for those who can never get to these sessions.

Condolences to big Ron. As others have said, he was the best header of the ball we have seen at the Dell and since and I was priviledged to have seen him play.

I would agree

I do not think Pards would go up to the wet & cold north, where this club has not had a great reputation in the past as big spenders on really good players. This is what they will need to do to get back in the Premiership at the end of the season.

I do not agree with that statement given the circumstaces reported in the Echo. Perhaps you will go to the Police and give evidence if you know so much about it, and it might help the case of either parties involved.

And the fact that he sees things in a match like most of us on this Forum do too.
