Only 13 points off now! I do seriously worry though about what would happen if Lallana and Lambert get injured. However, it does look like the money's there to bring in loan cover should we need it...

Very amusing.

I did when I was on crutches last year - called the club who were no help as I was only temporarily disabled and wouldn't give me one of the special seats. Did sell me a seat in the front row, nearest the exit, but I still had to go up some stairs to get back down again so wish I'd gone a few rows back. Stuck the crutches under my seat. We lost 1-0 so no need to get to my feet all game... Best of all was going early and finding £5 parking within 200 yards of the stadium...

Meh, what do I know? Make that two wins, 100% more than previously. See you soon, mate, who knows I may even improve on my one win all last year!

I admire you optimism but think you need a lie down after that walk! We've still only won once.

Let's not forget that Perry is also left footed. Let's no go there again after the last few seasons...

Positives: looked solid defensively except the few occasions we got caught on the break. Perry weak link but Jaidi looked class in both boxes. Pardews tactics of matching their five in midfield were a little negative but largely worked to stifle a confident and lacey Charlton side. Negatives: lack of pace throughout the side meant we rarely caught them on the counter. Our CM 3 didn't combine well enough when we had the ball bar a few moments of quality from Morgan. Would have liked to see Waigo on earlier to go for the win - looked lively and even tracked back to tackle!

Lol

Actually we're getting Ronaldo on loan. Unfortunately it's the fat one with the wonky knees...

Yoghurt? What about the sell-by date? That's asking for trouble, as Strachan would tell you.

Still 9 points inside the relegation zone - we're doomed even last season we weren't that far behind! Get in a big CB and CM and will start getting even more excited after lambert and the full backs.

clearly playing for a move to saints in front of our ex-manager

Biggest in the Prem was Phillips. In the fizzy, hate to say it, but it was Skacel. Surely you haven't forgotten the hype that accompanied his signing? Personally, was pretty pleased with Rasiak at the time and even Euell - I'm still staggered by just how clumsy a footballer Jason Euell is. In our current position, signing the League's top scorer is an ambitious and impressive signing and gets my 'wow' vote.

Once McLaggon gets fit again, he's going to do the business at RM - really impressed with his cameos last season. Centre back and centre mid are the main problems for us at the moment...

Keep this up and we could buy a player (or two Pulis')

Is it too late to put a fiver on Pardew? I have this funny feeling it will be him...

On the OS now. Happy with that. Never easy for someone to go back so Strachan may not have been the saviour we thought he could (including me). Very personable guy with a touch of charisma - not sure Charlton was a representative appointment as they were doomed at the time. Let's give him plenty of time and get behind him!

lol

Would be very happy with Lita but I doubt his ego would let him come to League One. Would be good if we could keep one of Saga, Rasiak or John, but I imagine John is the most likely. A quick goal machine (Lita again) would be good. I think McLaggon will be the standout youngster based on last season. Keeper is sorted however

Feel sorry for him, don't think he expected that. Always thought he talked a lot of sense but maybe didn't have respect of players after somehow being no 2 to Jan's experiments. Conducted himself with dignity in difficult circumstances.

I think you should gold plate it in honour of our new owner...

Shocking finisher, lazy winger. Good riddance!

Yes if has delegation clause. Impossible to buy as good a goalpoacher when in league one

Some of those safety catches can be lethal if they catch your finger. You had a lucky escape there...
