Hooray I can agreee with you Dave. I don't know who should be the most worried

It is odd seeing girl that you have known from a toddler in a mag with most of her kit off now shes 20.

You haven't posted much where are you? We need your piccy's etc mate.

If only you werent so close to the truth Daren

more fans will question the regime. Others will say wait and see, others will make threads to prove their point and find little bits to criticise the manager players chairman and the club.Some will be aggressive and others will stand up and try and defend the club. If we win what will happen? All of the above except some will disappear for a couple of days and some wil overrate our improvement.Its called a day in the life of TSW Me Ill be bloody more grumpy than usual then go out to an engagement party and watch my daughters band do a gig cheer upo a little and then come on here tomorrow to get my blood up again

Ump I think because of your over confidence of being right you do miss my point. Yes the 2nd year the costs werre reduced because Rl's remit to GB to get rid of the high spenders had started to come through the system. The third year the costs spiralled again to whoever you wish to point the finger at.I dont know like yourself how many or if any other players RL had snctioned and I do find it interesting now that you say Rl was prepared to spend when I was under the impression in the past you felt he didnt(I may be wrong if it was you and so sorry if I have indeed got wrong person) I accept you have criticised Hone for the over spend , but were the board not sanctioning the deals? I go back to the fact you and I were pleased that we weree buying (football fans love players coming in) but also must have wondered this seems odd, where is that money coming from as we were overspending.If we could see it why the hell did not memebers of the board? As for the spending the first year down that has always been a mystery to me, HR not being able to splash the cash!!!!!

Thats fine by me a large well supported club while your lot are Wigan of the South

I think you will find your mate is not correct.

TS why the january cut off.I beleive that we should have taken the knife months or even a year before then. It doesnt matter if it was 6 matches if you are potless that could be deemed as wrong.FWIW I think the board wre right to take drastic measures then to save us from relegation, and so they get slack for that.

No we were cutting back first season down as your figures ably show.That was in GB's remit. Of course as has been said many times before if you get rid of over 20players you have to replace some positions with lower paid players.That was starting, Yes Rasiak was purchased (I believe at too high a cost and salary,a mistake by Lowe??? or was he bought in the interim period and the contract sorted out after.The timescale I dont know.If it was under Lowe it was a mistake). The new people arrived on a populist vote and wanted to prove their claims and went on a buying spree.GB must have been delighted.Pleae do not try and convince me that RL would have sanctioned such spending because I really dont go with that.He did say he had a war chest but not a £7m one. The signing of Fuller for 90k underlines how RL was trying to get things in order and to try and streamline the club for the CCC. I do agree though it would have been folly to dismantle the PL setup straight away as we may have gone straight back up and so a balancing act was to be carried out. The 2nd season the brakes came off the spending and we went to town.No prudence what so ever and big contracts dished out in PL proportions. So if you can forgive that and then we failed in that crucial 2nd season surely you concede the 3rd was time to forget the dream and get practical.Slash the squad of the high wages then and get ready for the long haul, use the last payment to stabilise not turn a blind eye and hope things will be OK. You ask the odd question 'Why do you think we are now cutting back?' Is that question for real? It is obvious to me, because we are so in the mire as we didnt take action 12 months ago or even before.

I to an extent do agree, but it is a funny parody of his commentating.I do have issues how he sems to criticise but he is a lot better thna some and if he brings in investment he's done us proud

Brilliant I can hear him saying that

BWP did ok when he came on against Ipswich.Id prefer Thompson and I dont think he has done the job that well.Hammil does does the stepovers better.

I think Jan said before the game that when Killer is fit you should play him as you are not sure he'd be ready the next game. It seems that is the case and he was aware of the fact.To me we should forget Killer for a few weeks and try and get a settled defence, and perhaps get a loan in.

Again if you rate Hammil no wonder we have our moments. When BWP came on against Ipswich he helped us get a draw.

in the trees by Southampton zoo

yeah but we were in the ABC or one of the High street cinemas!!

I notice they said the same about you in their prgramme notes

lol

For the first part the first part.

I reply to people who make misrepresentations. RL as far as Im aware does go to games but he is away at present. I thought fans didnt worry but now the do,odd isnt it?

Im a little worried as he sits quite close to me at SMS. i thought it was someone spitting. I do rememer years ago I was at the cinema with some of my mates and we went to watch '#uck Rogers it was called something lame like that.Anyway I was the last in our group and there was a skinhead lad about 4 seats along, and I heard a noise and looked and he was having a TommyTank.

of course it has, we were sailing high and the bank were loving it that we had a wage bill that had hardly gone down.

what a surprise

no surprises in what he says.
