Is Flahavan in goals for Oldham the guy with the narcolepsy?

Thanks TS. Appreciate the effort. Looks like it was easy for them. Especially Lallana's goal. He took it so casually.

Tonight, Psycrow will mostly be hating Lee Novak

Can we play again tomorrow? I'm not sure I can wait until the weekend.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYou! Shut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupppp

5-1!!!

4-1!

Yes. I know. That was the point of my post. Pointing out his futile argument

Very disappointing end to the season. Bloody winning away at a tough team. Pardew needs to pull his socks up eh?

heh heh

Yeah, but if we only make up 7 points, we won't be level, that's my point. anyway, today isn't a day for arguing

Don't think it quite works like that... If we only make up 7 points, goal difference don't really matter...

great result, great results. 8 points out with a game in hand? Sweeeeet

And you couldn't even call what he ran that club on a shoestring

I wouldn't say you're far from the truth there David. The reason teams normally where distinctive socks to suit the rest of the kit is so that they can be picked out by a player with the ball without that player having to raise his head

I live in a different country. I must be a **** fan if I don't spend money on trains, flights, accommodation, match tickets et all every week eh?

Claus Lundekvam was arrested at his home and quizzed by cops after he was found with a quantity of controlled drugs. He has been released on bail while further inquiries are carried out. Oh sorry, you were referring to the paper

As I said above, all said after the fact, when you knew we hadn't 3 points. You said Waigo needs to come on alright, and that we needed to regroup. But neither of those things indicate a formation change. If you really believe that, then I'm sorry but you're deluded. Anyway, I'm done with this now. There's no point in me repeating the same things over and over. I can't get a blind man to see. Queue the inevitable "Oh you've lost so you're just giving up rather than admit it" argument.

Yes, I can. In the Brighton Match Thread you didn't critisie Pardew once for playing 4-5-1. There were plenty of people during the match doing exactly that, but you only seem to start once the final whistle was blown and we hadn't won. Hindsight and all that. I would imagine that if you really felt so strongly about that and the performances you wouldn't have been saying things like "saints getting on top now, get a goal before h/t and we'll be ok", you'd have been wondering why the hell Barnard didn't start in a 4-4-2. Even after our equaliser you didn't suggest changing to 4-4-2, you said "we need h/t now, regroup then go for it 2nd half". If it was such an obviously crime that we shouldn't have played 4-5-1 surely you should have realised it then. Or is it only obvious to you after we didn't have 3 points at the final whistle, and after a 1/2 dozen other people mentioned it. It seems to go from one extreme to the other. They scored and you said "They were murdering us". There is no middle ground. The problem with this attitude of "Success right now or get rid of him" and this isn't specifically aimed at you Dune, is that a lot of fans have delusions of grandeur about this club. We have no God given right to be top of this league, challenging for playoffs or anything else, no matter how much money is pumped in. You even thought yourself that "this is Brighton's cup final". FFS.... That's the kind of **** you hate to hear from Alex Ferguson when he's belittling small teams... and we are not ****ing MU. Brighton were only 6 points behind us in the league and had beaten us already this season. This was no more a cup final for them than it was going to be an easy game for us. Look Dune, no offence. I'm not trying to start some kind of war or make any enemies. Its just the opinion you've been expressing is one that really ****es me off, and you happened to do it on the day that I had time to argue with someone. I'm not really bothered about people being negative or positive for the sake of it. What ****es me off is the belief that we are some huge club and the small clubs in this division should roll over and let us tickle their bellies. That's the attitude that has people hating the likes of MU and Chelsea and ****es people off when they hear Wenger complaining because other teams "don't play football". It especially ****es me off when spurious facts are dragged up to prove points, and equally valid facts are dismissed when it doesn't suit the arguers agenda. I have no problem admitting I'm wrong if someone can prove it. So I get very annoyed at someone who seems high and mighty and can't even fathom for a moment that he MIGHT be wrong.

I never said I trusted Pardew utterly. Just that I'm not going to jump on his back because I believe he is doing a good job. He deserves at least 18 months to prove himself and I'm happy to let things play out as they are. I think the length of time supporting Saints isn't relevant to any opinion you or I state. We all know the ups and downs, and I feel at the moment we are on the up. I'm as entitled to that opinion as you are to yours. I have no problem with you saying as you feel. Why on earth would I? My problem is here is the manipulation of statistics to prove a point and the ignoring of equally valid (or invalid) statistics when they don't suit your argument (Not you... the royal you... Dune to be exact actually) Yes, I am most definitely human. I find it strange that you'd think I was some kind of machine or highly intelligent cat with opposable digits. I'm sure AP has made mistakes, we all have. But he's also got a lot of things right, and I think this club is going in the right direction under him. If at Christmas next season we are still in the same situation as we are now, by all means let everyone call for his head. But right now is not the time to do it. (And yes, I know you haven't called for it. I'm making a general point) I didn't see NickH making disparaging comments about you. If he did, he's a ****. But please don't paint everyone who disagrees with you with the same brush. If you don't like what we have to say... in your own words... too bad. Just because he got personal with you, doesn't mean the rest of us are.

Except your acceptance next season of the so called mediocrity that we're accepting this season simply because you haven't thought out your own argument and are simply piggy backing on other people's opinions and calling them your own.

Keep digging, you're bound to get out of this sooner or later

And where should we be in the table after that 6 games?

No I didn't, because you're implication was that those 10 games be dismissed from the record for the point of proving your stats. More than an implication in previous posts

The same reason as you, but I don't think they can just be put aside when assessing Pardew's performance. In fact, they should make up a large part of it
