Behave, your club are just whining, and HR is such a hypocrite for complaining about ather fans without getting his own fans in order.When is he going to stop the Pompey fans singing about hitting rival fans with bricks.What is worse being called a c or being hit with a brick? Look at home first then point at others.

What would you do if Mike Ashley bought Saints next?
OldNick replied to The Fat Controller's topic in The Saints
You are certainly well jenned up on NUFC. KK has a history as far as Im concerned of walking out in a huff.OK it may be only a few times but he has been in and out of football for years at a time. Dont forget he threw his dolls out of the pram under LM and that was because LM dared to question the players desire in a half time team talk. His outburst about Fergie showed him as passionate but also of bad judgement when riled. They wouldnt pack inot SJP if they were where we are or knockig around the bottom of the league, yes they are well supported but thye are no different to other fans they dont like it when things are not going well and as others have pointed out they hold on to peole like KK and Shearer too much and have not given managers a chance.Allardyce being a prime example. -

Sambosa you seem to know more about this than most.From the little I see of KK over the years is that he is prone to these storming out episodes and it is part of his personality.The time he should have made his stand was when Wise was first installed. The alarm bells should have started ringing then, how could he be seen as a better judge of footballer that KK, a director of football is not a scout and it would be folish to think he is. As for Newcastle fans wishing only for attacking football is a litttle too romantic in my opinion -

Would he be in that category if he cleared us of debt and also spent £50m on the team.IMO it would put him head and shoulders above anyone who has been in the boardroom of the club in living memory. -

Sorry I didnt necessarily mena this season but probably in the next 2 seasons the monopoly will be broken.Not down to anything more than shedloads of money -
Kelvin Davis- are saints fans the most fickle in the league?
OldNick replied to shurlock's topic in The Saints
It was great that the ground form all sides sung his name.It does show that while we have a section of fans who moan, they are not too proud to forgive and show appreciation -
The outrage Harry had about his wrongdoings from the Villa fans and now SOl. At no time did he/they come out and condemn their treatment of Ashley Cole. Just a bunch of pussies who cant take it back.I expect even some Pompey fans feel a tad embarrassed at these actions.

Kicking!! He can place a long pass better than our midfield and his throw out for BWP right into the pace of his run was brilliant -

MB he was poor, there would be many others who would be classed as worse than KelvinIMO.Although to be fair I didnt watch Sunderlands games and so cannot be sure.I did notice that they had an awful back 4 and so they may have been a reason as well. -

I think it was a season or so ago at SMS that the goal is being blamed on him. -

Arizona yes I do believe he was fine when others didnt.The manager also felt he was doing well enough. As I have put to U&A the manager lives and dies by who he chooses and he and the goalkeeping coach didnt think Bart is/was good enough to replace KD. If you had seen Bart at Exeter as well as some of the other games you would wonder how he ever made pro football.These are my opinions, they are not chapter and verse but I do believe they are correct assessments. There's no science to it just differing judgements. -

Worst keeper in PL history what an over the top statement!! The fans with players like Fuller Crouch ,KD and others think they knew best and crucified all of them without giving them a fair crack of the whip.You then get real dross like Hammil and he is untouchable because he came fro mLiverpool and did fancy steppovers.All show and no substance. Thankfully the managers with the exception of Fuller didnt listen to the wonderful judges from the boo boys and persevered, the club got the fruits of that. The professional judges stood by the players nad they could see they were good and so perhaps we should have our opinions but perhaps let the people whose jobs depend on the players make the calls.Yes have our views but perhaps let the players flourish under less pressure.We then would all be winners.I myself dont rate Pekhart at present but if Jan picks him I accept he sees him everyday and in the long term if he makes the wrong call it costs him his job, far more than you and I have at stake in our preferences. -

I cant concur with some of what you say there.He was under pressure and I believe was really frustrated that whatever he did he was going to be blamed.Yes the QPR and Preston games were real stand out mistakes and did cost us. The sending off i never saw and so cant make a judgement.I didnt go to Hillsborough but have seen the goals.To me it was one of those games where the ball went in from some really good shots (a bit like Wolves away when we scored form 6 attempts) Dowie never won me over, he had the best supplier of chances in football and still missed sitter after sitter.Watson also, but I never really pilloried either. Crouch and Fuller I was also supportive of, Fuller was terribly treated iIMO -

No I dont agree, the fans did not make him feel welcome from day one. There were so many tantrus on here by people telling us that Bart was class and should be playing (dont forget both were bought in by GB and so he had no axe to grind). That haunted KD and he also had to deal with the fact that the Sunderland fans looking to point the finger of blame (where have we seen that before?) trashed him and the fans on here lapped it up. Very soon he had the fans on his back and some were ridiculous in some of their criticism and blamed him for some goals that were never his fault. Iam happy for him as he has fought back and proved some wrong although few admit they are but say he had improved (which is fine by me, at least they are not at him). -
It seems a little upmarket for you Skates

OldNick replied to The Fat Controller's topic in The Saints
He would be a hero IMO. After all MW was a Liverpool fan and the fans bought his tee shirts. There would be no reason for him not to come to love us the same as MM does to his clubs. Ok we wouold not be his first love but as he's not Geordie I doubt he supported them from day one. Bring him on get a delegation knocking on his door and tell him he would be given the freedom of the city if he bought us out and spent £50m on us. -

OldNick replied to shurlock's topic in The Saints
i have defended Davis all along, I dont think he has improved he was good all along.I just believe the fans perception has changed as they now see that Bart is not as good as they thought he was and so realise KD is our best hope.I do agree that KD made a couple of terrible mistakes, but as I have maintained al along that all keepers make mistake and there has never been a keeper who is faultless. Without a doubt there is going ot be a mistake again, I just hope fans will now be a bgit more understanding. -
hey you 2 its me who has the petty squabbles. It was all done innocently come on lads. It was a misunderstanding

the tackles on Mills and Lancashire were deserving of yellows, in fact the one on Mills could have git wirse at it could have injured him badly.

but Im not sure that I want to take that decision. No doubt DT is right, is that a decision?
