haha that's cool! Be honest with you I reckon they would put 5 past us.

The stunt I think Pardew should do is get a Sunday morning pub team down St Marys so the players can run rings round them and win the game, this will give the team some confidence back. Would settle for a 1-0 win if that happened ;-)

Now it was great seeing the guy before kickoff and I really do see him giving the whole team a good bonding exercise as I reckon they all will be doing his dance but my question is this. Does Waigo look at our team and think 'What the **** am I doing here' or does he think that he will love being the star player here and that he don't care they looked crap? Discuss please.

We need a formation that works. I spotted on the big screen as they was playing back some training ground moves and the aim was to get the ball out to the green bibs who would be whipping in crosses all the time, now the problem is we don't have any decent enough crossers of the ball and plus the only big target we would have in the centre is Lambert. I think we should be having another option and that is pace. These guys on the attack often turn and accelerate like Oil tankers. I watched England tonight and the pace is scary, with that I hope Wiago is our superman otherwise we are ****ed!

The best thing we can do it do the short corner and then lump it 50 yards in the air to land on the 6 yard line, It will be an almighty scramble where the ball could go anywhere.

Employ him to pull the pints at half time is the best role I see for him here and that's at a push.

I'm not surprised! Have you ever tried pushing crutches under water?

19c will take them off you?

Okay I've had the Pompey toilet paper given to me, now my question is my arse is too good to wipe with that stupid banana thingy on there badge. Another gift I've had (because I am a fanatic) A bolt which I was told came from the away dugout at the dell. Now what the hell am I going to use that bolt for? some people do take the **** outta me.

There was only 2 of those in the whole stadium, One for Steve Bull our big wonder dancer and the other for Rupert Lowe's big fat ego.

Just remembered my scarf that my parents got me from Australia a good few years back, They have a team called St Kilda that play in our colours and plus they are nicknamed the saints, however they insist that all scarves are 3 times longer than ours. In the 80's anyone that saw a pratt wrapped up in a scarf from head to toe then that would of been me :-(

Can I play you every week? :-) Is it about time we promoted it again as a few have dropped out leaving some nice teams left.

Maybe the players do have two? :-) Talking of DVD's why would anyone buy last seasons for? It would of been better to release the 50 best saints throwins.

Forgot to add I also got a Saints eye patch once. Why the smeg am I going to put that on for?

I once got this paddington bear in Saints colours that stood on the fireplace, What the **** was someone thinking? I don't mind a scarf, hat or T shirt but a ornament which looks like it's been done by a 10 year old makes me feel special indeed. NOT! Come on don't be shy and tell us your weirdest gift from a loved one or grandparent?

Yep you are so right, Matthew Le :-)

Arizona is spot on. I put it down to fitness, if you make average players train bloody hard until they are blue in the face then the last 20 minutes of a game they will not be such a panic towards the end of games because the team are strong enough to push on for more. Strachan had it right totally and the results started to show it. And then this problem started which was a lack of ambition which results in your manager/star player leaving and so on as you struggle to keep balancing the books because the fans stop coming so much. It's only now for the first time we IMHO are at rock bottom and ready to make that journey back IF Pardew makes them train much bloody harder.

With todays Internet service would Ali Dia of got as far as he did or would the likes of us smelt a fishy one? Reason why I'm asking is because within 30 minutes of a player signing for Saints this forum reveals his career history and lots of you tube clips of his goals. Do you think Souness would of listened to us if we found something?

I had to get my **** out to check mine, yep it's real m8.

I was referring to having the name across the front and not as a shirt maker, Anyway thanks for your info as it's informative.

great point? Would we be seen as a good investment for any company now we are showing some ambition? I expect Notts County could attract the likes of Nike on the front of there's so why not us?

Is it like Boothroyd waves a magic wand and the players suddenly become world beaters? I don't buy it, I reckon we have too much for them and I go for a massive 1 nil one.

I got the impression he paid off all our debts and that we started afresh. With that in mind is our new owner saying have an extra 5 million this season or is he saying keep it even Cortese (whatever the name?)

I did say example!

I was told a while back that the way our new owner is allowing us to operate in bringing in new players is a wage budget. Example: Alan Pardew has a 200k budget a week, if he keeps under that then he can bring in who he wants. Rasiak would of been a very large wage earner which suggests that our new Papa & Jaidi have come in his place. Out went several other high earners like Surman, Mcgoldrick, Bwp and Euell etc which freed up the chance to bring in Murty, Harding, Lambert & Co. I still have a feeling he is under budget and would like to bring in some more loans as they won't cost him any money. I expect the championship (when we go up) will allow him double his wage budget until we reach the premiership which will be very interesting. Now my other point is this. Do you think we are operating on a even profit through money coming in with the gates, TV or do you think our Swiss owner is dipping into his pockets?
