Not a bloody smell of a ticket so far and from reading what you guys are saying I can sense this ain't gonna go smoothly at all. If I get crap seats I'll go effing mental as my request was in at crack of dawn on day 1 for ST holders.

What a daft thread. Loony Tunes Comes to town. Even if we win all 12 games we would reach 83 points which has not been enough to get into the top 6 when there are a few good teams and a lot of poor ones as this year. Stop tormenting yourselves with all these what-ifs and start worrying about what happens xnext year if we dn;t make it.

Steve, you're dead right mate! Drives me up the wall, I'm switching back to Safari.

The OS fully explained weeks ago that no tickets will be sent out until Monday 15/03 so what are people fretting about. The only thing you have no control over is where you will be sitting, no that is worth fretting about!

Delusions of grandeur from the boardroom, whatever next and us in the Third Division!? It could be a very long wait indeed old bean... blue chips? I'd settle for fish 'n chips if I were he and whilst they are still warm. Nothing worse than a limp chip. He's been here a while now and still has not delivered Nestle the strikingly obvious choice for a Swiss backed outfit so the franc might drop soon.

Is it the European Cup, the Intertoto Cup, The FA Cup, the Carling Cup? Is it fuggery.. If we win it bin it, like all other empty paint tins.

Me too! In fact I've not been able to bring myself even to log on to my favourite website until today so much am I still in mourning. What really gets up my snorters is the sheer bloodyminded inevitability of failure at our club whatever the circumstances. To think we are now doomed to another miserable year in this festering crapyard of hoofball so no way am I going to waste my time this Saturday or next Tuesday watching this bunch of losers. It no longer matters what we do in those matches so why should I give a toss. Wish I could get my money back... We're off for a week to the land of Frogs

You must be very young, why no mention of Wayman, Day, O'Brien, Chivers, Channon, Davies, MacDougall, Shearer etc etc etc ???? The best of all? Probably Ron Davies maybe Alan Shearer but Ricky Lambert will get close methinks given time.

It's a brilliant article. Jaidi is now 100% a Saint and is obviously not only enjoying life here but a terrific influence on the younger players as well. As long as he sticks around then I'd want to be a part of it if I was one of the younger more ambitious lads. It's not just 'big talk' to hide the cracks, this is from the heart and you sense he genuinely believes in the Pardew Project; let's face it he's been here and there at the higher levels and done most of 'that', so if he is impressed by what he sees and feels around him then we are indeed in for future treats. I love the guy!

You would have thought so wouldn't you but knowing the FL they probably don't bother to police it and let's be cynical about it as well, unless a pitch is frozen solid and opens them up to prosecution by the HSE in case of a bad accident they seem to be conditioned to the mentality that the game must go on to avoid the hassle of costly last minute postponements, refunds and fixture congestion. "Never mind the quality feel the wealth... "

Fair Do's! If you and I have enough common sense to work this out how come our be-striped pampered friends who are paid to be quick witted haven't worked it out. Bugger me, they say it's an "easy" game to play from the stands.. I'm beginning to think it IS!

There is a lot of bleating going on about muddy pitches. Why don't they adapt by training on muddy pitches instead of effing Astro Turf or whatever other synthetic concoction they us up at Staplewood for "pitch perfect" For Heavens sake man train on Millbrook Rec or somewhere similar after a heavy weekend of use for pub league matches to get the effect you need... you don't need an 'O' level in nuclear effing physics to work that one out. Stop bleatin', start thinking, get training on Effing MUD!!!!

PS pay him £100k a week if that's what it takes......

Of Course! 'NUFF said the lads a bleedin' genius!

Bugger! Nothing to grumble about... except, er the crowd. We really are rubbish at singing these days, with stuff like "There's only one Alan Pardew" etc. How very 80's is that? Come on lads lets have some real imaginative songs to match the brilliant performances. Just chanting "Ricky Lambert la, la, la" doesn't get to the heart of it, he and all the others deserve better form us!

Like any lad who's played well he was up for his hat-trick and of course didn't want to come off but Pards wants him fresh for Tuesday. Barnard is part of a team on a mission not the whole team and he needs to get that into his bonce!

The best Saints football display for years. Now banish the long ball for ever. Well done Pards and the lads. Do Huddersfield the same way and we'll start believing again.

Can you believe the crap that is coming out of SMS these days. According to The Echo tonight Pardew thinks we can still make the play-offs if we get 6 points in the next two home games and carry on winning. He's even got Hammond parroting his masters voice now with the extra emphasis that we've got "to win all our games" and we need 70-odd points usually to get inot the play-offs. Strewth! What ARE these people on? We told them to get their fingers out weeks ago when there was still a vague hope we might make it. Now there's no chance, they're hoping Cortese won't notice if they put up a big screen of b*llsh%t....

I am actually quite surprised that he is still here to be honest. Perhaps it isn't so easy after all to find a successor who is good enough, ambitious enough, high-profile enough and still willing to take a chance on his reputation in the Third Division... surely that can be the only reason? Try Curbishley next or maybe Sven?

Of course there will be tickets left over. Let's get real, no way 44000 are going to get sold except in their dreams.. If they are really lucky they'll shift 30k which ain't at all bad just to watch paint dry.

What is so special about this squad that we would want to keep it together? The way you talk one would think we are world beaters whereas we can't in reality beat Wycombe Effing Wan*ers... who the *!^* are they? If we lose Morgan and Adam in the summer we might as well use the stadium for growing shallots.

Pardew has been quoted as building his team around Schneiderlin. Rather too well it seems.

I'll stick to being that miserable old sod who said "Told you so" weeks ago that anybody thinking the play-offs were even remotely possible after that bloody awful period just after Christmas were manically delusional. At ko last Saturday we had to win 16 of 18 to even have a sniff but it is no longer 15 from 16 as all our rival contenders for that 6th spot have pulled away from us tonight. If the penny has finally dropped expect a gradual fall off in interest from now on with samller gates and so on. Mr Cortese will not be a happy man to night, not a 'appy man at all and whilst it is unlikely that Alan Pardew will get his marching orders tomorrow it is not beyond the realms of possibility either. As there is nothing left to play for with 16 games to go there is more than enough time to bed in a new manager ready for next season so that he can sort out the squad and bring in one or two of his own....

I hope that is not indicative of a 'late nights & booze' culture developing amongst our players. It's too much to expect that they'd be at home and tucked up in bed reading Tolstoy's "War & Peace" by 10.30pm but if they are 'good lads' only because they have little imagination other than to hang out in pubs in the evenings then it doesn't bode well for a long-term healthy team ethic, which will be needed to keep these boys together and ensure we get back to the promised land soon.

Smart Rrse!
