So true. My 15 year old son has been coming to every home game since the prem relegation season. He witnessed one disappointment after another for years, but has earn't the right to really enjoy the last few seasons. He just loves going now. Goes on about it relentlessly.

I remember Neil Heaney had a blinding first half.

We should have a "Claridge is a Saints fan" chant.

Great point. Look good with our run in. Roll on Saturday.

Possibly everyone voted for Redknap, the whole of Sunderland voted for Pardew and Dalek voted for Hoddle!

Herbie rides again

Lol

I really hesitate to ask but DWAS?

You don't mean time zone, you mean a different time, or time space continuum if you want to sound clever. A different time zone would be France, and I don't think the French would get you.

I thought at times Svennson was great for us. In the cup final season, I think our midfield was from Svennson, Fernandes, CMFG, Delap, and Matt Oakley. I'm sure Svensson played a good share and was very effective. He seemed to loose all confidence towards the end of his time with us, and that has had a big effect on how he has been remembered.

Really harsh on Rudi Skacel that. He was never very quick, but he ushually used the ball well, and at least he made many appearances in a season that saw us make the playoffs. Degado on the other hand!! I think poeple were actually more tolerant because otherwise things were going well for us. How many appearances or goals, and how much did we pay? Did we get *** all back? He even had to come with a mate, who nearly ended up showing more promise. In my time he takes this by an absolute street.

my mrs got 6 plus "someone called hoos-i-velt"

Well yes. And if they rotated the pitch by 90 degrees to help us defend corners and renamed the northam the jason puncheon stand, golly they would have some questions to answer. I never know if you are serious but your posts are funny.

I get frustrated with this debate. Take a business as an anology. I run a fleet of 12 trucks. Do I; a) change every truck at the same time once every 10 years, mucking up all my other arrangements in the process. b) never change any because they all went OK today, and suddenly wonder why I own a load of ancient unreliable scrap. c) make a plan and change a couple every year to keep a good fleet of trucks. We should make 2 or 3 of signings every window. We should do this if we are top of the league. We should do this if we are bottom of the league. It keeps the team fresh, and helps everyone at all levels by not changing too many variables at once, because a football team is like a golf swing in that way. I hope that NA and NC understand this, but you have to give them the benefit of the doubt because we are top of the bloody league.

I don't think anyone is going to accuse you of regularly changing your mind!

I wouldn't call it choking. I haven't been to either of the last two away games, but from seeing all the home games, and listenening to Bristol and Donny, it sounds like we have just gone wrong tactically, rather than choking in the sense of being unable to capitalise on a good performance. If anything WHU seem prone to choking in front of their home support.

ripped a pair of chino's climbing over a seat!

Me too. People just get exhausted from the relentless euphoria I think. I thought we played our worst home game since possibly Millwall last night, and we still won at a canter really. If you don't take it too seriously there are some really funny posts around over the last 24 hours. The "proffessor" one on Nigel Adkins obvious lack of understanding of the game is a total classic. Had me in stictches whether he was serious or not.

I remember a few games when punters were invited on at half time to try and land a ball in the boot of a golf, from the half way line. Out of a sense of injustice, Matty came on, took three goes, and couldn't even get close. Far too exiting IMHO.

I think we currently need something really dull, to help mitigate and break up the relentless entertainment on offer during the actual game. Maybe a boules tournament in the centre circle, or an old bloke with a flat cap repainting the lines with a 2" paint brush.

To differ on details, coventry had the c**p bombed out of it in the second world war, because of its role as britains most important industrial and armaments centre, and I think its population were renowned for their stoicism. I would say Milton Keynes is a nothing place in the middle of nowhere. I hope we **** them tomorrow too.

tbf that is probably some of my best work to date

don't be so wet

15 possible 11 or 12 probable 10 would do
