the worse the results get here the better NP will become in peoples minds. If he gains promotion with a fantastic strong squad for that league with a team that let in few goals last season let alone now at a lower sandard he will be seen as a demi god to some. I was more than happy to give him a go,but I dont know his salary and what squad he was prepared to work with. He is history and so we are making divisions over something that has gone.

I think AC has the ear of others on here, I have never met or spoken to him either.As for people being fed B####it that is comical when we have posters actually believing DMG has a guarentee to play.So before some get all ****sure of themselves they should look into a mirror. Apologies to Greenridge as this was attributed to him earlier when in fact it was in answer to Um Pahars, sorry Greenridge

Alpine is on fire this week..not litrally of course , as it is on the back of a defeat and the extra bonus of the international break and so can strut around in the told you so mode.Look at the threads from the Donny game through to saturday and the difference.As for NP I was not impressed with him but would have given him a chance even though he took us to the precipice

A very good question, and for you surprisingly good. Of course as I wont be in character.

I dont think it would be right no. I can see where you are trying to lead this, but categorically no. Ambramovich did it allegedly and he was wrong and if RL did it he would be wrong. UMP, now you answer this do you believe a chairman would guarantee a starting place for the season to a 19year old? I really dont know if any player has been guarenteed a starting place at any club ever but perhaps behind closed doors it has happened with players like Keegan Beckham etc to get them to sign.I recall a similar rumour abotu Mark Hughes when he was here and he never seemed to be dropped, then he did and the rumour disappeared.

do you mean the 1830s or 1930's MB. In the 1830's you would be my janitors apprentice or chimney sweep and in the 1930's you would have been my janitors apprentice or chimney sweep.In your job as a janitors apprentice after 5 years i might have allowed you to wear gloves when you unblocked the u-bend. Im a 60's man .....oh bug### 50's man 1959,,,,,,november and so nearly 1960's baby.

The only centre forward playing on the wing!!!He probably can play every gsame as he's allegedly lazy. I can't be bothered to look up facts about appearances so far this season but I thought he had been subbed a couple of times and also on the bench, but I could be wrong. So in short you believe a 19year old is guaranteed a starting place. lol Get something right and Id be happy to agree, if you keep believing that DMG has been promised a starting place whatever we're not likely to agree on anything.

You've watched too many movies. You do know Coca cola invented santa dont you?

but its live on tv and a night game so there will be excuses. If Pompey dont get through that group they have missed an opportunity. I'm waiting for Hr to tell us that the squad is down to the bare bones, and needs to buy in jan

Sundance does over do things but he is not the only one.He is extreme but some say many offensive things but do not make such long posts.

I also agree with Jnr Mullett that he didnt play that well but he was not the worst player on the ball.I recall how he took that high ball down in one movement and then went to make room for an effort on goal. Without a doubt he amde a right hash of his 1 on 1 and should have made the keeper work harder or score.

Weston I do watch him and others.Everyone does things their own way, I would love to see him harry and chase more, but that goes for a lot of players down the years.He's 19 and will learn, I want him to score a few ore goals and really make a difference.

Windmill its good to see your name on the board again, however much we have crossed swords in the past. Grammar puncuation and spelling is not my forte as Im surprised you never noticed before. My problem is I run my business and also come on here and some replies are more rushed than others. Have you paid your fiver yet?

Not his cathing and taking crosses then?

LS do you remember when MW was in the pub singing Swing Lowe with the fans?

Another of the things I put up regularily is that I have no issue with anyone on the forum.We are all Saints fans and so that is fine by me.I only cannot respect a poster who put up that he wished for a player from our team got a career threatening injury.perhaps in hindsight he may regret that comment, but to this day has never retracted it.

I cant see what is wrong with making signings that will make the club money and also get a year or so quality on the pitch as well. How many scouts have gone to games to look at a certain player and then gone away to recommend another? It is not a new thing that our stars get sold and perhaps it would be better if we had a team of non entities that are not desired elsewhere but make a unit that is successful. Perhaps we as fans fall in love with players too easily and so are disappointed more often. I still do not thin kLallana will leave in Jan, he is still far too raw and if the club hoold to their 5m valuation I cant see PL stmping up for him.The wordt thing that has happened for us is that he has been called up for England under 21's. It is in that enviroment that a happy to be CCC player will have his head turned by the big time Charlies. International football has effected many of our players over they ears and caused performances to drop. MLT BT Bridge Surman have not come back as better players but worse performers for Saints.

I think you have hit the nail on the head. It is body language not attitude.

It is not the quote highlighted that you put up but your post accompanying it that I found offensive. You again have got me wrong.I dont see all positive in RL or the club.Perhaps you are too blinkered to see. You have a total dislike of RL and cant bear to think some others can see he does not do all wrong.Read above and you will see a statement I made to Snowballs about him. I disliked hsi words when Hoddle was going to return and it still wrankles with me 'you are only fans, when we run the club' or words to that effect.That doesnt blind me so much that we have very little choice in the business sense and how little we can manouver now. IF RL can save us from adminstration (when I say RL save us, I mean his actions) that is as good as a forward who scores enough goals to gain us 15 points. That is why it is imperitive he does get it right off the pitch. Again get someone in who can finance the club and spend money on the team and Im with you, if you can't then I'm still in the RL camp while he keeps the banks at bay and the administrators out.

he descriobed that gola as his best!!!!!!! Best of the week surely not as good as the one at the KOp How many were there sunday?

Did it quote that DMG was assigned to McKenzie or the marking in general? At the time of the goal it looked offside, but he timed his move perfectly and I agree he was onside. I doubt many would be able to stop such a run akthough DMG could have obstructed him in some way. Having said that whoever lets a player go in a set piece is making a mistake.

Greenridge, that is offensive. Perhaps intentional I dont know. As my viewpoints are not the same as yours what makes you have the arrogance to say Iam wrong. I left school at 16 and have since that day made my living by my own actions.I never in that time relied on anyone in this world to put clothes on my or my famillies back and have a good lifestyle that many would be envious of.Because of that I have made decisions and weighed up opportunities that were sometimes brave and stupid to others but i did it my way.Perhaps that experience gives me a different perspective than others, I dont know but my objectivity and judgement should not be disrespected just because you have your own blinkered views how a football club should be run..

I didnt watch the half time bit and so didnt know he was picking up McKenzie.This is a surprise to me as I would have thought as DMG is one of our taller players he would have marked one of their centre backs.It still is harsh as whoever marked McKenzie as he moved in front of our defence in the blink of an eye and it would be nye impossible to react.

Snowballs. I can understand where you come from and it surprises me sometimes how upbeat I can be about something that is so dire in my life. I can categorically tell you I have never met or had any contact from RL except when I wrote and told him it was crucial to get the choice of manager right in the close season when we moved stadia.I got a courteous reply, form a computer generated letter. If you were bored enough to trawl through my posts you would see many critical posts against the clubs board, some against RL and many more against the people who hoodwinked many and took the club over before RL's return. I dont know how many times I have to post it 'Nickh would love someone to take over the club who was credible. I dont wish for change for change sake but wish for someone to take over put money in and make us stable again. At present of the very few options we have RL is the best IMO.' Get a plausible option in and I will jump ship immediately

Thankyou for clarifting that .
