What a moronic thread this is, glad I've been away awhile - but then I've never asked for or expected any freebies from the club. NC is a man of vision and principle and it's damn good that at at last we have such a person at the top. Best if you all ignore all those jealous loose mouths of the media.

Not of the 69 variety but in the 60's when Terry Paine and Co took us for the first time into Division 1 most of us spent weeks wetting ourselves with sheer delight and that was a really warm feeling!

Well done to all those people who came along, what a great game of football even with our reserves. I have more admiration than ever for Adders after Brown's irritating effing barking all night long aided by his witless assistant. I'd have thought if they'd done their job right on the training ground there would have been no need to constantly shout at players on the pitch, poor sods must have been really ****ed off. I much preferred the quiet approach of Adders, hardly needed to say anything and when he did it was "Adam" or "Morgan" not "OI! Mellor get up the effing field" 2-1 was not the right scoreline for all our dominance that's the only grumble. Morgan was magic and gives Adders a real headache, how do you fit them all in? Ben Reeves looks like the real deal, maybe not as instinctively gifted as that little Gooner turd but definitely better than some on there last night.

A truly lovely lad who is really up for it. Could be a great signing in January if those celtic bastards don't try to screw us but knowing our cousins from North of the Border they'll do their best to soak us dry, the bastards!

You must have seen all the matches to have remembered that season so well..... Where were you standing, I was up at the Milton end?

Always said he was a disloyal greedy little bugger. Glad he's gone we just don't need his type around here.

What a load of bull**** this is. Your observations are based on what exactly? have you ever met or even spoken to the guy? What's your effing agenda then? Tit!

To answer your question... Yes by a country mile, Connolly is class, Phillis is an ass

Don't forget they include in totals all STs sold so they would have counted me as being there even 'though I couldn't attend this week. That happens regularly in our part of the Itchen with guys on work related duties and so on often missing games. Would account for a few hundred and empty seats are very obvious because of their red coloration. But other people are right, times are really hard for folk; if you're trading down at Tesco's to the 'Value" line you're hardly be able to afford the luxury of flashing £25 on a ticket up at SMS. This new age of financial realism is going to be nasty and last a long time for a lot of people so football WILL suffer for sure and about bloody time it did many will say. Time for all those guys who've made millions out of the game to put some back in and help the poor bloody fans by cutting prices. It is time to remember that this is a community sport founded in the working class areas of our old cities. Loose sight of that and ignore those roots and fans and you'll be in trouble. 22000 in our situation signals big trouble brewing so action is needed now.

"I don't read newspapers"... "we'll take a look at that in the morning"... "the league that matters is the league in January".... "Oh!Really.. my 100th win in football... I didn't know that..." Come orf it Nigel, superb manager you may well be but ace bull****ter you most certainly are not! Go on man, let your hair down, have a right old ****-up to celebrate... THEN get on with the task of winning the next game of football. Me? Ecstatic.. Top of the League? Yes, really! No laughing matter.

This. They won't hack it for long and will soon be drifting down to mid-table. Middlesborough and Leicester look favourites at the moment and Forest aren't that far away either.

That's not fair, just tell us all this stuff rather than tease.

Yes, of course just go to the shop.

Either he's out of his depth at this level, is injured or he's sulking 'cos Richardson gets the nod. Trouble is none of them are really good enough for a top side in this league and Jack is woeful at full back, we missed a big chance over the summer. Try Fox over there and keep Harding in. Absolutely we should offer at least £4million for Gunter he is absolutely fabulous, if he's good enough to mark Wooney out of a ganme he's probably good enough for Saints - what d'you think Nigel?

I'm not as agile as you so have to wait it out whilst the laggards do their "after you old chap" routine until 5.30. I get really wound up about this especially as Health & Safety require the stadium to be cleared of people within 2 minutes in th event of an emergency - what a joke that is - but so is wasting time on here discussing what the owners might or might not do in goodness knows how many years ahead when-if we ever reach the PL. Your thread is far more relevant.

Always said Lambert couldn't make it at this level, should have had five... ;-) Rickie for England, Wooney who?

This! very unimaginative, **** poor passing, too many long balls and caught flat and way out of position far too often so - Derbyshire gave him the run-around and more or less was responsible for both their goals. Harding is better than this by miles. I', tempted to say another graet signing by our scouting team in the footsteps of N'Guessan, Forte, Stephens. They sure know how to pick 'em!

Wonderful win, tough at times, thoroughly outplayed at others but they stuck at it and ground out a result. Good work lads and Adders

This is becoming farcical. The player is obviously quite good so why would he want to come here when PL teams will be in for him if he has a tremendous first half season especially as he is now a very high profile young lad playing for Pearce's XI. One gets fed up reading this sort of nonsense when we know Saints will inevitably bottle any bid deal where competition from other bigger clubs are involved. Leicester beat us in the transfer market and on the pitch. Let's face it our track record for completing deals of this quality is rubbish - we just don't have or won't spend the dosh - just like Gooners in fact who go on to win Arsene-all!

I admire Adders for acknowledging what many fans have said on here about poor discipline at the club. Evidently he is reading our comments and taking them on board. As always 'though Nigel, proof is in what happens on the streets rather than all the reassuring rhetoric and the jury is going to be out for a while on this one. One more escapade - and they do seem to go in three's - and there will be tougher questions to field.

We should win this one. My guess is that it will be a dreary affair more of a physical battle but we should edge it 1-0, and I'll take a 2-0 if we give it all. Forest won't come to play football they'll come to spoil and nick a point to make it 6 from 6 Martin will def get the nod over Hoover based on his Leeds outing and will stay for 90 if we don't concede. Really too early to fit Hoover into our style of play.

henceforth to be known as "Brown Nose Day with a Smile on his Rrse"

Everyone is right, who is he, only useless idiots run out of contract, etc. Another pointless speculative thread. Keep your eyes on the ball lads.

Spot On! On the other hand the lad doesn't deserve to end up in hospital as a result of poor judgement. The latest OS up-date is only mildly encouraging and regretably it seems unlikely we'll see him playing again this year at least. I hope there isn't a booze culture here but nothing would surprise me after the experiences of a few years ago.
