Bournemouth had a fantastic end to last season ,and a great young manager in place.He has had plenty of time but he has done well.Newcastle have a team of top players and a couple of wins was always going to spark them.

Nothing wrongwith having concerns. My mindset as you well know is support the club and try and unite behind it even if you have some reservations.I doubt there is a manager that any of us would agree with every time. I also would have liked to have had some players in earlier and got us up and running with an early win.It becomes harder each wek as the win doesnt arrive, the players and fans will get twitchy. We are playing not too bad but we must not fall into the trap of 'we are southampton a bigt club and you are little yeovil' We should respect all the opposing teams and not just keep saying we should beat them because they are c### because frankly so are we. We are slowly getting better but few of our players would get into everyteam in this league,probably 3 at most. KD Hammond and Lambert.

So you dont think it needs to be addressed? I suspect the wider population do not know this and it certainly puts things into focus. That is one hell of a workforce and so there must be room for reducing it.Perhaps at management level instead of at the bottom.

DD our sole purpose must be staying up this season.I said on numerous occasions we needed a good start or the ans would start to get jittery.We have to cut the gap between us and safety soon I agree but putting up every game is a must win only adds pressure to us.It is patently obvious we need somebody up front alongside Lambert who can put the ball into the net, we need to get a 2 goal lead.I do think that once we have got a win we will then relax more and the best will follow.

Met up with Dubai Phil last night for a drink in Salisbury before he goes to Florida on business/pleasure. His revelations are both alarming and amusing. He tells it well and I hope he finds time very soon to post it.

I agree many have not said Pardew out, but quite a few have alluded to it. More subtle and underlying quotes.I myself got the impression you had alluded to the same, but i could be wrong.

I think the NHS is great.I hate the waste and would like that to be addressed.It astonished me this morning when it was stated that the NHS is the 3rd biggest employer in the WORLD !!! Bigger than the Russian army FFS

I expect it's both. I do love the grammar police, it is so much sweeter when they get caught out.

CB you do get a bit narky if people have a differing view to yours. You obviously think that with all the politics and fans division that to then run a football club is easy. The managers you say have done it in one season I cant be bothered to research.McLeish took over a PL squad that was not stripped of its star players, the same can be said of Mowbray. Billy Davies did remarkably well the same as Coyle and Keane.Right place right time but i take nothing away from them.Coyle especially on very low budgets has wheeled and dealed and used no superstars to try and make it. I do hope you keep your own personal finances better than SFC did over this period, as you may think it was OK to take a punt but I myself thought it was reckless and we are now suffering from that spin of the wheel. In the summer period after that playoff season allegedly we couldnt even afford to have the mowers serviced and had a stop put on some of our accounts. It was only due to the sales we made from the squad kept us afloat. I dont believe that GB is the best manager we have had but he did what he could in probably one of the most turbulent periods in the clubs history. I feel sure in the next few months a few things will come out and people may see more of the picture thsat was going on.

The first part of my post was too hard for you to comprehend I understand that. As for the Torquay match I also agree to get people along 15 is too high and perhaps a tenner would have been better.For Charltons scheme to work they need 3 times the gate than we get.I doubt that will happen.I also think it is an agreement between both clubs re pricing.

it is a good one. I had hoped it may have been true...am I wrong in that??

is that why Phil is flying back? Anyway if you are playing it will soon be 'young crocks' i couldnt make it sunday anyway, playing cricket against bramshaw. Scored 48 sunday just gone. Caught on boundary going for a glorious pull for 6 for my 50...never mind we stil won.

I noticed that.I looked and was surprised it had gone.I doubt LC would baulk at paying to watch us.

Well you're not preeeeddy like me, and even then I was a willing particapant.

No i blocked her passage when she was in fritham the other day with her horsebox

Thanks. It is a subject that should not be used for gain IMO

its ok I have read the sun homepage to get the info. It strikes me as a 'look at me ' quote.We all can say we have been raped by a celebrity (funnily enough one of my clients said Barrymore was at the beaulieu autojumble)

Am I missing something has she been raped??

It sure has been a while, I will wait for the next oneto be announced before a thread can be started .We dont want to have the plebs getting involved.

when was Jordan raped, I thought jacko got off with that?

Do you know where the current manager lives or some of the players? He did get on with it and brought Stern in as well as Davies.Another player we earnt plenty out of

should we not hang on here and think.I thought we were united in the belief that we wanted to get back to the top.Not 4 months ago we were about to go out of business.We then expected somebody to buy us and pay 15m for it and now after that we are complaining because we may be paying a few quid a game too much. Now i dont want to be had over but I suspect the same people who moan about ticket prices are the same ones who want us to spend on the squad. SFC is a hungry animal, without paying custoners we are stuffed as we cant rely on tv revenue.

you say the centre of the ground, so you mean the best seats I presume

So now the manager was not committed Lol. It was not worth , although if we had gone into admin 2uears before we may have been through thepain and have a different owner.

How would i know? the words I put up always look to be correct to me
