Perhaps but my impression was that Cardiff were not up for the fight, a combination of the terrible weather and Saints keep-ball seemed to have knocked the stuffing out of them after our second goal and from then on it was only going to end one way. True, they made a brief recovery after the break but it didn't last long after which they threw in the towel. We were really good on the ball though.

We should have had a hatful. Adams confirms his status as No 1 waste of space. Fraser too desperate to score, a cooler head and he gets a brace. Aribo very unlucky. Considering the weather, we did well.

Manning is useless whereas Edozie is a decent player given a chance. Hope Martin picks him today and gives him a run of games. Put Kyle on the left and Bree on the right so that Edozie has a decent partnership to get him fired up.

Brass Monkey weather, sorry Saints you're on your own up there today! Good luck anyway. Big shout out for all those who are brave enough to go.

Clearly it is not a question! What you are missing is that in the sequence that you have quoted it is exactly as I said above, Adam giving his opinion rather than letting Martin answer the question without being told how to answer it. Talking across people like that is unacceptable. Keunsberg is the same.

He was irritable all evening, spent half the match bellowing at his players so obviously wound up like a spring by the time the interviews came along. To be fair Adam does venture too much of his own opinion during some of his interviews and this was a case in point. He should remain neutral in an interview, ask a question that is not leading and wait for the answer. The interviewer should not seek to grab the limelight as Adam did in this interview or try to teach the interviewee how to suck eggs. It's Martin's opinion we wanted not Adam's. Adam's style at pressers irritates me sometimes so maybe Martin is just fed up with him which is unfortunate.

What has been the success rate with your insightful predictions? I can't be arsed to look it up but we haven't torn many a new one so far have we.

What a load of crap! Players like Suly are there for their flair and unpredictability, stifle that and you may as well not play him. No player on this planet is capable of following a coach's plan for even 45 minutes let alone a whole game. Now that KWP has been given the freedom of the park he has become twice the player he was before. He has been given a very long rope so do the same for Suly.

If you have nothing good to say about a man then say nothing bad.

For fairness and balance you could also have quoted my Thursday post…………... "Now that we are getting used to winning again let's hope complacency doesn't set in. We have to be in this for the long haul as there is no sign of the three above us faltering. It's a must win but we're still not convincing enough in our performances to guarantee it. I fear a 1-1 draw is on the cards also with the disruption caused by players' being away on national duties"

Disgraceful performance. No passion, no leadership, no creativity, no energy, no plan, no effort. No idea! Apart from that it went quite well! Automatic promo? You're having a laugh. More days like this and we won't make the play-offs.

Surprised Fraser gets the nod over Charly. Not for me but we have three games this week so makes some sort of logic at least in Russ World

Those signed photos of Rupert were not huge sellers either so probably lots of those in there as well.

We all do it, these people are so well known to us through TV and on the pitch that when we bump into them in real life instinctively we feel we know them personally. No need to be embarrassed, I suspect he was thrilled to be recognised. Most will have had these sort of 'meetings' with personalities. You should have sorted through his cast offs, could have been some good stuff there especially if he is clearing out his UK base.

That's right; dear old Saint Russ has this old fashioned idea that it is important for fans to have at least one local lad in the team. In reality Smallbone gets more stick from fans - certainly on here - than any of the incomers except perhaps for Manning and Adams

I hate Alexander Armstrong. Any programme on TV or Radio where he makes an appearance goes straight off.

Now that we are getting used to winning again let's hope complacency doesn't start to set in. We have to be in this for the long haul as there is no sign yet of the three above us faltering. It's a must win but we're still not convincing enough in our performances to guarantee it. I fear a 1-1 draw is on the cards with the disruption caused by players' being away on national duties

Even if he doesn't play for us again, I'll bet his presence around the training ground will be massively beneficial from his work ethic and keadeshiiop qualities. A tremendous example to the youngsters and somebody they can look up to. Great to see him training with the first team squad

If I may venture a comment dear sir, that is utter Rollocks. He was immense last night fr a kid of 18 years. We managed to trawl the Man City academy for four future stars so how come we missed out on Lewis at LB. Just the guy we need right now. Time to persuade the lad that he has no future at Man City.

We need to tread carefully with this guy, I know its only NI but if he isn't getting regular first team football at Saints he'll want out sooner or later especially if his performances begin to attract attention.

It goes much deeper that that. Without Bellingham & Kane we are clueless and if either of these guys is injured next summer we can kiss goodbye to any hope of winning the trophy.

One lesson life teaches you is that you only miss and value people when they are no longer with us.

That's a fairly bold statement. The only similarities that I can see is that he is English and has played for Man City. Suppose he turns out to be as good as you hope, do you think seriously that City would let him go?

I cycled to the Walton & Hersham match but admittedly not from here. Was at Uni at the time. Etched in my memory.

Isn't Lionel Messi 36 or 37, doesn't seem to be past it just yet.
