can I play the holding role?

Is that because they keeping giving us the ball to see if we can eventually score.

I bet she's got a good support!

Hi Guys, sorry I'm late but I have been clearing out the garage of rubbish. Talking about rubbish, how are we doing?

Scenario. Public zoo in financial trouble, sells its Tigers, Lions and Chimps to help its poor financial situation, but unfortnuately leaves no prize attraction for the paying public to see and then complains that it is still loosing money because of lack of paying customers. I blame the circus that owns the zoo for thinking that operating on the cheap is the ideal solution. Surely these financial brains and city folk could of come up with other options apart from "Sell everything quick and hope we survive with next to nothing".

Agreed, plus we have Skacel doing feck all. Unless he is refusing to play, why on earth is he not being used?

I understand and agree with your comments apart from the fact that that was then and this is now. Football has changed dramatically since then mainly due to the amount of money pumped in from various means. Now, if a club does not have the dosh it will be fighting against the odds resulting in more often than not, failure and lower league football. Today's equivalent of Paine, Channon, Le Tiss, will only use saints as a stepping stone, and that is only if they have been raised from within the club, anyone with an ounce of quality will not stay here for very long as proven by Walcott and will closely be followed by Lallana. Back then you could pretty much gaurantee that most of the squad would be back for the new season and that there would always be a degree of quality players left, along with the odd decent player joining the club making going to matches more attractive. Now, any quality players will not hang about for long nor will there be many coming in. On the basis of the above coupled with the basic fact that supporters do like to see there side win every so often, I can understand to some extent why there is a certain amount of apathy being shown towards saints and also other clubs in a similar situation. Unfortunately, without serious money being pumped into the club the situation will only worsen which I find very sad and thank god I have the memories of better times to fall back on, unlike many of the kids struggling to attend games now.

Wanted BD in the first place but Lowe knows best.
-
Well, it helps but not alot.
-
Come on, this is saints we are talking about!
-
Your missus is as interested as mine then alps.
-
Thats one way of putting it.
-
Still time for Lowe to come on and get the late winner?
-
Good evening viewers. Jeeze, I thought we would struggle this season but this start to the season is going even further than my expectations! Edit

You leave my pussy alone! Just because i'm in awe of your avatar!

I think the side we have has some potential, but I also think the coach is getting it seriously wrong with selection and he is worryingly showing some inexperience at this level. Why Perry never started I do not know. McGoldrick is just not good enough yet to play the lone striker especially when you have John on the bench. How many did John score last season!. Skacel not in the side, well perhaps there is issues we know nothing about, but it now must be time to bring him back, we cannot afford to have a guy of that calibre doing nothing for the side especially if Holmes is out for a while. Gillet also concerns me so why not have Dyer and Skacel both in midfield.

How will you feel when he is sold LGSC?

You don't need to, just keep showing your avatar!

Thats more like it!

Agree with this. I use to enjoy keiths forum until it went too far (personal attacks etc). There was a good amount of controversy to keep you interested. But now its all become too pc and most are guarding what they say. I feel sorry for the admin and mods though because it must be a thankless task keeping everyone happy, but this site does need spicing up a little and a bit more tolerance given. Differences of opinions and heated debate makes a forum interesting and yet I have noticed on several other unrelated forums that mods get carried away and power hungry and seem take their self importance too far. I appreciate that what they do is voluntary and costly as far as time is concerned, but many mods that I know on other forums, their life would fall apart if they were not doing it, needless to say, some need to get a life and not take it all so seriously.

There are so many kids playing because imo this is part of the money making master plan, more so than gaining promotiion. Bring them on and then sell them for a handsome profit as soon as there are any takers ready to be mugged. We are and will be merely spectators of a business plan rather than watching a side realistically trying to acheive something. As good as it maybe to watch some spirited football from the kids, there is not enough strengh in depth and plain old blood and guts for us to challenge.

Could'nt he put down a deposit!

Prefer the old one, I'm not complaining btw.

Jeese, MB, your avatar is really distracting. I have attempted to post about 5 times today and just find myself gazing at it for bloody ages.
