you also have to add on a percentage who have forgotten they did it earlier and enjoy it more with Parkinsons after te old man has gone.

Wes in this league there could be many on certain days.A few weeks ago we could have said Derby and Blackpool but they both have improved.We need to wait a little longer to make a better assessment.

lol, although that culd be aimed at many of us.

I think that is a valid point.Without him I assume there would be no TSW

I hope that all goes well for you Snowballs, we all need to see that it is only a bag of wind being kicked around by a load of overpaid primmadonnas, and that would put it ll into perspective.

what home games are those then Man u home or blackburn home?

what was the crowd yesterday ? I did notice a few empty seats. FWIW I thought it was a poor game and was surprised how poor both sides were.Diarra was the best player on the pitch and Jenus the most overrated , why he handled god knows.He is a liability and Spurs on that performance should be worried.They took off Zokora who was the only person fightng for the ball. The Spurs keeper whilst makinga couple of good saves he does knock the ball forward back into play and Crouch took advantage.I also thought Crouchie was a shadow of the player he was when I last saw him. He looked lost.

JS so well put how could I argue.I put it as I see it. I also have not seen the Saints win this season, hopefully that will end tomorrow.

Gordon I am impressed that you have the fibre to admit you were wrong and prepared to say so.Good on you, now I have to find something else to argue about with you

Your views mean as much as mine Snowballs. as for your last para it could be viewed as the other way around from my side.Do you not think that the intentional windups by the very antis/negative fans do not make the more Rl way posters be extra motivated because of such things?

you see that posts like this is how Scooby is so effective.You obviously get wound up about 'flat caps, etc and dont see how easy you are to wind up because of it.Your user name Fan the Flames gives the impression that you are there to make debate but then dislike it when a poster gets under your skin.I think it is fair that you say I lean to the RL arguement, and will concede that but I was one of few voices who questioned the Wilde bunch (not as people confuse the fact that not wanting Lowe gone at at all costs but only ewehn there is a better option) and warned that they were carpetbaggers and showed little substance as their promises didnt seem to add up.It seems some cannot see that because I understand the course RL is taking makes me like all he does. I disliked him enormously when he wanted to bring back GH and was prepared to hand my s/t in (whether id have gone through with it, I cant say) that doesnt mean I can't see when he has got some things right and I also am bright enough to understand rellegation was not down just to him. Scooby says things i dare not say!! I dont say a lot of things Scooby says because some of it I dont agree with as its nonsense.I was born in Shirley and went to state school, I dont care about references to flat caps etc because it doesnt worry me. As for being a nasty s###, if you met me you no doubt would think the same, others wouldn't its all how you perceive somebody over an internet forum.I myself could easily judge you by your outburst but dont as I know from experience that people come over differently in the real world than behind a computer screen.

I know that a couploe of the staff at the club were pleased with the support and thought they were superb, as do I

Im sorry if the truth does hurt HillHead I didnt mean to offend

At the time of RL not keeping NP I felt that it was a mistake.Not neccessarily football wise but it would be used as a stick to beat the club if whatever followed was not a success. Perhaps he wasw being obstinate and wanted his own men, or didnt feel that NP was going to buy in 100% none of us know, but he made the decision and we have to get on with it.I only know the meerest of scraps about our finances, the little bits I do know are very disconcerting and so am pragmatic enought to try and understand the decisions taken. We have fans still harping on about not keeping GH!! and so I doubt that the fans very pro NP will be quietened for years. If we do ok in the coming months those voices will be heard less but if things go downhill they will get more confident and louder.RL I suspect would have factored that in but it is an issue. I myself was very indifferent about NP his major advantage to me was not about his managerial abilities or his passion on the sidelines but the fans were behind him and so we had a btter chance to get behind the team.

A local double glazing company whose owner is an avid fan told me this morning that the club are hoping his business will cough up a grand.He doesnt know wha is going on but will be there tonight.

a Barnsley fan I spoke to has said that there is a general feeling that the squad want the manager gone and so are not performing up to standard.Whether that is ture who knows?

Well im told they have the option to purchase.His head has gone as the abuse from fans and so he has been allowed to go out on loan with a view to leave. Whether we as fans were right its hard to say, he had been dealt with by the courts (I notice Carlton Cole got a good reception saturday) but a lot of fans gave him a rough time. Had it been Lallana would we have had the same morals? I doubt it, and hope we dont have to find out.

Yes he's Comical Billy from the Iraqi information bureau

I was just interested how the attendance was with all those perks.Nothing more, is assume the population would be smaller as well in that area.

[quote=Im_no_sinner;62623 fear you however, would rather be proved right to get the attention you so crave than see Saints succeed. This is why you are very similar to Lowe IMO. Why do you fear that? We are all winners whatever the individual reason. Scooby buys into RL's scheme of things many others dont.As RL is calling the shots we need him to be right.None of us gain if he is wrong, unless you are prepared for us to fail miserably in the hope that it may rid us of him.Last time it got no better, lets hope when he does eventually go we get served better by the new people

I find it amusing because I can see the posters who take umbrage getting into a lather, not so much his words.He has found a tool that gets to them each and everytime and their chips on their shoulders cant stop them from reacting in rage.

forget not QPR are going to be a factor as they become more powerful.Our relegation was a windfall that Pompewy need to take of advantage during the window of our scraping around the CCC, if they miss it and we go back up they will again be vying for the same customer base and will not be so attractive.

Some of this is correct. I have been told their are a German consortium coming to buy you. The fact is regarding your position right now is that the reports say that you are for sale for 40m. 20m upfront the rest in a year, that should be seen as a good thing for you not a bad one.A cheaper price is more attractive to the buyer. You mustnt get confused that there are loads of people who want to lose money in football it isnt the case.Yes there are sokme exceptions but people who have built up fortunes dont like to lose. Im not sure how much the Fratton site is worth, theDell didnt generate fortunes and even if FP is twice the size it is not on prime land but probably only cheaper housing.I saw reports of the new stadium being 130m that surely must include other development or is it an expensive project due to its position and geology in the area? If you stay successful and still are when the stadia is built you will get an uplift in attendances but it is catch 22, to finance the debt you may have pot have a firesale if a buyer is not found quickly and so you may not then have the success and so the crowds may not appear.The time between building the stadium and moving in will be probably the most crucial time in your clubs hiostory since ripping off your suppliers and going into administration 10 or so years ago.

not everyone has a sense of humour.Many take it all so seriously when Scooby dares to say good things about RL. He is amusing by the way.

Personally I beleive 14-15k is the hardcore level of Saints support and perhaps even slightly lower.The softcore support is another 10k and the ones who go to see PL and train crashes another potential 10k. There are quite a few who are floating between hardcore and sofcore who have been going for sometime and just had enough of the disappointment. They will be brought back with a little uplift in our prospects, its the 10k plastics who will be harder to attract back. Im amazed how good our away support was at Donny 958 ffs that is fantastic considering what we have had to put up with recently.
