It was embarrassing when Fowler was saying how poor we were us on SSN.

I expect clubs would get their best players on long term contracts but the journeymen (90pc of a squad) would be on a short term contract.

My wife's going to get therapy as when she met Jimmy Saville as a young girl he only patted her on the head!

Pompey were the better side in the first half and there looked only to be one winner.It was galling to hear the commentator keep harping on how tough it was for them, and how they didnt know each others name etc. I didnt watch the second half and so was surprised to see the score. Busaky and Allen were very good. in fact they looked a decent side. I suspect a lot of clubs may take a leaf out of this model, get rid of their expensive acadamies and just put the squads on 1 month contracts. it seems sensible as they wont have to pay wages during the summer, much like it was before Jimmy Hills campaign that got full time contracts and player power in the early 60's (??)

Does Lallana need dropping to give him a kick up the backside?
OldNick replied to Saint Garrett's topic in The Saints
I dont see the hype about him, he is just an ok defensive midfielder who has not protected the back four enough. The mistakes keep happening at the back, and are not his fault. I dont look at the statistics I judge a player with my eyes....perhaps i need to go to specsavers -

OldNick replied to Saint Garrett's topic in The Saints
if thats the case then that is why we will go down. A defensive midfielder whose job is to screen the defence, and we are shipping shedloads of goals Lol -

great as my granddaughter was with me! Ii know it was not intentional

This one put up a adult site

I am pleased to have read that VFTT and would like to be assured, but it is the FL we are talking about!!!! Add to that they should get more penalties due to the other financial irregularities
-
i now live in Wiltshire and the Swindon fans i know don't like him, and do not like the way he treated the young keeper. He then went on and ridiculed the club in his interview, saying something about being only a L1 club
-
that would be a disgrace. His man management skills are appalling, add to that his Fascist salute and he can do one
-
thats odd. i think it is a travesty how he has been treated. I was amazed when he didnt play in the first game and only came on as sub. So our 2 stalwarts who were the main reason for our promotions are cut adrift KD and now RL . I accept KD had a dip in form but RL!!!!
-
The fans will go to the FL and give them the guff about them being owned by the fans, how badly they have had it etc etc etc and the FL will go all dewey eyed and waive the -10. I will be gobsmacked if the FL give the Trust -10. As soon as trhe trust tell the FL that the club will be liquidated as they cant proceed and the 'integrity of the competition' (lol) will be effected and they will cave in. I suspect they have already given the intimation in the talks already.

Harry Redknapp to be named manager within 3 weeks
OldNick replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
i wonder what dork gave him the terrible dead leg in the first place. -
how can the league allow them to loan out players and then loan others in? It is laughable. Do the other league clubs just sit and watch and say nothing?
-
Kenwynne left as he wanted to play in the top league. no different to Bale , Ox and Theo. Ok he went about it badly but if someone offered you 400% wage rise most would do their best to go. He still has a future and if he came it would be good for both parties as he has something to prove.
-
NA PICKS THE TEAM.He is the man responsible for taking RL off when we were leading in both games. NOT NC ETC. Like Liverpool when they got rid of Carrol, we will have to do the same if the club feel we can get mo0ney back in for him. It is a disaster, and I feel that it will be hard for RL ever to get his form back now he would rightly believ3e the management dont think he is good enough

Ford closing Southampton Transit plant with the loss of 500 jobs
OldNick replied to saintbletch's topic in The Lounge
yes he a big fan of them -
NC has a lot to answer for regarding RL. The only layer to look any good in this league for us. If he gets a game his confidence will be knocked and no doubt it will take time for his form to lift. Pardew said you have to play him all the time, he was right.

I assume it is unused if it is from this season

HR needs Joe Jordan by his side to be successful. When he was with us Bond was the sidekick ,but Jordan adds the fear and steel in the dressing room. I always thought HR had a tough time here, he wanted to bring in quality but was left with dross. no real leaders and as he said at the time 'a quiet dressing room' I always will recall Claus face as he was waiting to go onto the pitch at FP, he was like a rabbit in headlights. When we got relegated any decent players went and we only bought Fuller (who was a decent player but the fans scoffed at him for being only 90k, and from Pompey, if you look back he was a bargain if he had been welcomed) HR had little to work with and add to that the insettled fanbase as our frustration of not going back up immediately took its toll. i think we were fourth when he left, and he could see the writing on the wall and jumped ship. i dont think it was spiritual home stuff, just the realization that the fans were going to turn on him. -
One minute you say the top people at the Beeb did not know but imply the NI people did, add to that only the NI people close ranks like the masons but the BBC don't ! Lol. Of course only the NI people were the only ones to know of the rumours, the Guardian journalists etc were too busy doing runs with Saville raising money for the good causes to notice. Double standards and hypocrisy . It sickens me that woman knew of these disgusting events and did not whistleblow. Nurses careers and people of responsibility helped cover for Saville. I accept there are many people who could not face up to the pressure they were put under, but for 35 years, it's incredible. I would like to think I would have done something, but nobody knows 100pc.how they would react. I would have thought RAntzen had the power to get the rumours aired ,why she didn't I really don't understand
