Um why have you put only 11 games prior to LCs appointment and 12 games afer.Surely he had more games than that last season as i thought NP was in charge for 13-14 games

You didnt really believe the Port Salut was really going to happen did you Mack??? They are going to turn the stadium around alright, not move the stands or anything just make the pitch 100 yards wide and 50 yards long.You gimps will think it is a new groud as something looks a bit different but cant place what

When have I said they haven't?Read my posts post matches and you will see i think the fans have been great and supportive under intense pressure.A large portion have been patient and understanding what the club needed to do.Yes it would have been better to have all the stars in the team but finances dictated they couldnt. It seems things have stabilised a bit or people have pointed out to the bank that if the dont ease their restrictions we will go down or into administration and they will lose a large amount of money.Sense on ALL sides seem to have prevailed

BS I normally concur with your view but i cant with DMG. Did you notice the runs he made when not on the ball? How he ran across their drefence to drwa defenders with him to make space for Saga and JE. A lot of these things go unnoticed, but add to our effectiveness.Take the blinkers off and you will see he will indeed become a very good player.He also had the balls to take the pen in front of a lot of fans who have been giving him stick. Our experienced players went into hiding when the pen was awarded.

If you are alluding to RL's mistake of keeping Jan too long Im with you on that.To be fair just before the Forest game I think we were 7 points clear?? (it may have been 4 points and we would have been 7 points)and if we had won we would have been in clover.So at that stage the experiment was still on track.The Doncaster game was indeed the watershed.The board whether by the fans reaction or the alarm bells ringing (or both)they acted. I myself was very unimpressed with the new man, but as soon as I heard from my friends at the club what was happening i realised that we should give him a little time.I asked for fans to give at least 5 games and in the main i think the fans on here have been intelligent enough to have accepted that we had little choice and so get behind him.

I was giving out this message a few weeks back.There is a togetherness.

Well if you take away 15k minimum of wages outof our weekly losses add on the loan fees which would be well above the ones we paid out and that would show Barclays that we were grasping the nettle. If we carried on regardless paying the wages without trying to cut them then the bank would not view that with any sympathy.We dont know the position of the club financially, but losing over a 100k a week needs to be acted on. Add the luck that we drew MU in the cup and you can see why the finances have eased ever so slightly. So far the rigourous cutting of the wage bill has saved us 10 points. Yes we may well have got more with the better players, but we dont know as it is all opinion and not exact science.

It is fairly pointless trying to reason with people if they dont understand the basics of budgeting.We had to show the banks we were reacting to the situation.We may have had costs ourselves but we offloaded a lot of high paid players as well as getting higher loan fees than we paid out if any. Saga would not be here if we could have sold him, we dont know who we would have got in his place of course, who may have been better or worse.The point is that Wotte has acted and used his time sitting in the background to see what wew needed.Size was the first and then getting the older players into a more direct style

I arrived quite late for the game and was in the St Marys street area.There was a large group of fans without colours being escorted by the police through the market to the stadium.They were looking for trouble if not already caused it. Some little Cardiff oiks were being turned away before the bridge near Golden grove

As the opposition are better than PNE then I think it was a better result than last week. Both were great but IMO the motm today was the fans.Whoever starts the Red and White chant needs praise, the whole ground joins into that song. The team can feel the fans behind them and they draw strength from that. On the pitch i think there was no player who deserves more praise.The team are now playing as a team and a unit. I would say that DMG showed real steel and character taking the penalty.It seemed to me nobody wanted to take it and AS passed him the ball to take it.

It wasnt Woggy it was who you say it was.

You'd be a joy for Parkinson to interview

Thats why i dont comment on the performances away.I will talk about goals if I have seen them on tv but I do like to read fans assessments who have been to those games.I do read some of the reports more avidly than others though.I think some have a record of being even handed and fair in their judgement and so take more of what they have to say than others who just put 'we were rubbish' and not give any insight into why.

i alos cited Navyred s leaving here as a disappointment.if anyone knows him perhaps it could be relayed to him that he should come back on here.The criticism of the young lads has decreased and so he might be able to stomach reading it.I also have felt rage at the way the young players have been dismissed by some but argued why they are wrong to do so, surely that is the best way.

That is true as a lot of us have different opinions of certain players.In the main though by watching the performance you do get a feel how the team is progressing or degressing.

Not attending does not stop you having the right to comment, I wholeheartedly agree with that.Alos people living away or cant afford to attend also, but it is impossible to really see how the team are playing unless you have been there.You only have to watch Motd and them saying what a great game ande you think sometimes where did they get that from.

I cant recall you coming on here during the Wilde bunch days saying any of that Alpine. The 'bleeding obvious' that the Wilde bunch fired more duds than a eunach seemed to evade you as well.

You have made a name for yourself on here as you are mentioned more than any other poster and so you have your 15 minutes of fame.Enjoy your moment in the spotlight, when things improve your negative posts will dry up and your fellow followers of doom wil fade away and this site will become slightly happier. Iam more than happy you post but do not get all upset when people are critical of your anti club stance. I am loyal to the club i I support.Therefore I will defend it against unfair and constant criticism, especially when it is not always done to enhance or improve the club, but just to try and get a point scored.

i would like the club to look at Lutons right back, i have seen him play twice and both times he has been assured quick and comfortable on the ball.

A draw or better will be a good result.We dont need to lose belief again by losing the game.Cardiff are a good side and to expect to beat them is beyond me.From little acorns and all that.Lets stop the ;losing win ,draw and then move onto games with a little more confidence.The fans have shown tremendous character in staying with the side, after saturdays game there was a belief starting to return we must notdash that with defeat, go for a win by almeans but if it is 1-1 after 88 minutes take the point this time.

at that stage when he was posting he could have sold his shares for a damn sight more than he could now. He could have sold when KW or LM did and made a mint, but no he has kept them. I dont know him or his motives but his wording at the time was correct IMO.

but not is all about profit.Factor in the cost of advertising to such a wide audience and then the costs are not so bad.It would be hard to quantify how much the on air plusses the station earnt. Having a radio ststion filing the airwaves with Saints talk and propoganda was a great thing.i recall it advertising gamestickets and other saints business related things that in turn earned revenue.it also made us look an modern and go forward club.it is something that RL should not be criticised fore as it was a sensible idea that if we had stayed up would still be an asset we could have been proud of.As I put before if Pompey had done it first we would be spitting mad.

I dont think the 3 can work together.MW has taken a back seat and left RL to run things IMO.The problem is when you have people who are used to getting their way, when they have to take a different route they would have gone and so it gets diluted.RL I believe has come back and decided sink or swim to go his way ashe will get the blame anyway. If he fails then perhaps LC will get his way again and we will also be helpless to our fate.Running any business by committee is a nonsense, we have to have 1 person basically running things, but with a strong second in command who will keep things from getting out of hand, whether we have that is a different matter.

Iam big and ugly enough to look after myself but I have found it distasteful how some have hunted in packs against some posters.It saddened me that we lost NavyRed due to the constant critiscism of the young players on here.he felt so upset that he stated he would not post on here again as it annoyed him so much.I suspect there are others who also have been lost. What we all forget at times ( Myself included) is that we dont know how old some of the posters are and perhaps we are berating kids who are posting their idealistic views. I do believe that some wish to post up negative posts for no good reason than to annoy or hurt the club, some do so as they really care. I myself try to stay positive but that is not how I aways feel
