It is probably as he was told they would be up to their neck in the Coke very shortly.

A bit of a dogs dinner. Very messy and looks more and more the actions of desperation.

the Daily Mail would be my preference before most papers.The Sun Notw for a bit of scandal, the Telegraph or Times for more serious reading...the Guardian, well if you are reliant on being employed by the government yes. Not for me though

He is 19 FFS, Lallana is 21 but people make a lot more allowances for him. Give him time and Paterson will develop into a first team player.

Lancashire is a quandrary to me.There is something there but he has gone backwards in the last year.He has to become more mobile and try and get better spring in his jump.Im sure AP will sort things.

everything

I suggest he is talking about lallana

I can give as good as i get and never hold it.We are football fans on a forum. You a Skate Lol, a right bright spark must have sent that. I have just remembered why you were banned, perhaps rightly so now thinking about it.It is history forgrt it, that is why iam not devbating the RL thing, it wont change peoples opinions, RL was not the only one at fault and so move on.

I miss Ho's Pompey transfer gossip threads, he seems a little less enthusiastic to post them these days. I had to post up the 1 about Pompey looking to buy a UAE player, he must have missed that.

every week he stays is another 80k + out of the window lol

It was a long time ago when Gb was manager.

I understand and will not support him in his snipes at you and your mothers fight.You are a proper respected person and like myself and Um have suffered some attacks by him.In time you may come round and understand my viewpoint (not through experiencing the horror of facing up to his illness) and see he really is trying to control something that is uncontrollable.I have noticed it myself, recently he has only attacked when under tremendous provocation and even then it is mild compared to the past. I am not taking sides as i think you are a top man, and i enjoyed reading your stuff (although i dont always agree) and hope to meet your mother when you return regularily to games.

In principle the result is not an issue but perhaps the performance by some is.Last night showed we need so many players. No way was it AP's team or fault but some of those players.....

surely he has passed the FAPP test and so all is OK, or has that now changed? I find it interesting with your experience in your profession that you still have doubts of it proceeding.

That sums up my feelings reading the 2 very strong and good personalities fighting on here.Both of you have had your 'real fights' off this board and at certain times the pressure has made you act in totally irrational ways. Daren was always right mentioning his plight and the terrible treatment of him by the club,he rightly was sore about it. For the person who let it out on here NC's personal problems, SHAME ON YOU. A terrible misjudgement and I hope you may not have a family member befall an illness that is not understood (and even then the logic is beyond understanding)until you face up to it in your own family. I say leave the cheap jibes at NC's illness aside.

if the club is being run on its own devices I dont think his wages would be found.

I dont agree with that on last nights showing.He was skillful and pacey, well compared to what had been on show before

Gordon Watson

I think we should let him go for a nominal fee to get rid of his wages.

Can you read? I put score a load of goals. DMG got stick and he scored quite a few in a very poor side.Paterson is younger and will not score as many, in fact if he plays a lot of games there is no way we will make the play offs.Not because i dont think he wil become a useful player but he will be against a lot of big centre halfs who wont give him an inch.He is not Shearer and so needs to find the extra needed.

well he came on last night and certainly made a big dfference.A bit much to ask him to score a load of goals though.

No I didnt expect us to be superb. I did expect us to be solid and have some imagination,we did play some neat football first half but only in the centre of the pitch. Is it ok for players to look half interested and arrogant to believe that it would be easy? I hold no blame to AP, he has had little time to do anything, but I doubt he will be very happy and will weild a big stick.

The first was from a free kick and the centre forward flicked on the cross, the second from a corner, the 3rd from the defence opened up and a midfield runner took the ball on to score.Theor 4th a cross that the cf headed in again and the 5th a shot from about 15 yards after a bit of a scramble.

Bungle, so people at the game who wish to give a heads up on the performance should gloss over the fract that we were totally outplayed by a more skillful and hungrier outfit.Yes Rasiak didnt play (that would have made not an ounce of difference as Stern worked harder than he would have) KD missing would have stopped 2 of the goals in the first half.He wouldnt have stopped al;l the pressure we were under due to an ineffectual experienced centre midfield. The9 is right a lot of those players are on the fringes, but if asked to put a side out from that squad last night would you expect to let 5 in? Im not pannicking but pointing out that we have a lack of decent players in important areas and AP will Im sure fill those gaps. If you had gone and watched you may well have been as disillusioned as myself. Roll on saturday when we will field our stronger side and perhaps get a better performance.I was concerned about Lloyds lack of form in the last 2 games as he was a shining light last season. Perry although in a defence that let in 5 was powerless as Lancashire was not up to marking their forward who won everything and scored ahattrick.Mills is going to be a fine player, there in the right place again to score

Wotton penalty Paterson Mills Stern
