Surely you realise the team is being built around Morgan Schneiderlin??? What more do you want as a future midfield-general? Wotton is there as father-figure extrodinaire whilst MS gets up to speed. "He is the very essence of a midfield gen-er-al" as the old G&S song has it! This lad will be captain of France in about 5 or 6 years and we'll do very well to keep those leeches of North and West London off his skin even if the magical £10m is offered. We don't need it anyway, who knows maybe we'll start buying their players for a change... Anybody fancy Terry for starters? No, thought not...

But I was there and all theguys with me had the same opinion. We can't all be wrong?

For 45 minutes this seemed like a life sentence what with freezing weather and long-ball up-and-under kick and rush drivel. Only Antonio seemed to know which way to go and the singing of "We've got Antonio" was fully deserved. Now I am sorry Mills but you are crap with a big C and have no place in this team. Nor has that great lumbering clod-hopper Lambert - wake-up at the front, yes, you! OK, OK, the defence was pretty good generally and Wotton has become a man on a mission. Make him skip at least he knows all their names and can shout a lot as well as put it about. Well, whatever illegal performance-enhancing substance Pardew put in their tea at half-time it worked, suddenly we were playing higher up the pitch and our mid-field got on top and the rest is as they say "history". The difference was Papa Wacko and boy wasn't it great to see Papa and Antonio running together, surely must have put the sh*ts up their back four, Play Papa up front every week and he'll blossom just like Antonio, so why now do we need Pincheon and how will James and Hammond get back in? And as for Lee Barnard, what the Eff-ing dong-dings is he here for? Pardew may be able to find decent defenders but sure as sheep-turd he couldn't spot a striker in a Post Office Depot in December. Oh Yes! we took three points and I'm content with that but gve me style over functionality any day of the week.. MotM? Schneiderlin for me or Wotton.

I wrote a long letter to Rupert Lowe stating a very similar plan in 2002 and received an interesting reply about the long-term ambitions of the Club for the immediate area around the stadium and down to the river but of course that was then and this is now and it's all the dust of history. I agree with you entirely but 10 years on nowt has happened so another 10 years on... ? Probably will be all forgotten again. Football is all about quick fixes, fast bucks and publicity and virtually f**k-all about community, environment and destination.

Looks like the beginning of the end of our dream. Why deny if no interest? Anyway, whichever club it is, is not after Coretese but Marcus the Moneyman. Marcus is on record as saying his only interest in football and Saints in particular is to back Cortese. If Cortese goes, Marcus goes - that simple, so if you want marcus, seduce Cortese... There is no smoke without fire and all the denials in the world are just window dressing. So, why have they lost interest so soon? many reasons as follows:- 1 Now aware what Third Division football really means - total insignificance publicly, no income wrth a candle 2 Foul English winters 3 Realised too late that it won't be a stroll back to premiership 4 Even a five year commitment won't get them there, it's a long grind even if successful at all 5 Sold a Pup with Pardew, now down a blind alley with crap players and no money 6 Probably already up to their borrowing limit against future earnings S faced with that or Italian Serie A what would you do? I'll bet evens money he's got his sniffer dogs out looking for a buyer.

I'd be surprised if Cortese wasn't getting more than a little bit concerned about Pardew's inability to spot talent and produce a top-class footballing side because for sure I am. We're way past the honeymoon period, money has been spent and not very wisely by all accounts and results are just as effing poor as they were under the last manager. This just isn't good enough. OK the play-offs have been out of reach since Christmas but where are the signs of even a modestly competent team emerging from the chaos to deliver the goods next year? If Schneiderlin leaves in the summer we will be bum deep in the pig=sh*t* that's for sure

Spot the difference... Useless twit who couldn't manage a ****-up in a brewery persuades Chairman to splash zillions on players nobody but he has ever heard of but insists are the perfect new blood needed to bring a new era to Saints with a quick return to the premiership... Useless twit who couldn't manage a ****-up in a brewery persuades Chairman to splash zillions on players nobody but he has ever heard of but insists are the perfect new blood needed to bring a new era to Saints with a quick return to the premiership... Did you spot the difference? The first bloke was drunk when he said and did all those things, the second one wasn't... At least we didn't take the first bloke seriously.

Pompey are far too good for us - fact! They are perfectly set up for cup ties, the way they play, not much good in the league but magic in one off high profile games. The only good news for us is that some of their more gifted players may have had to be sold before the cup tie. I'd love us to turn them over but realistically it can't happen, they might even win the Cup again if somebody does the honours of getting rid of those sh*t*s from Stamford Bridge.

There'll be a welcome at St Mary's.... knuckleduster variety I wouldn't mind betting Foo Kin Hec, how did that happen? Ken you believe it? Mind you we have no chance!

Oh Sh*t, I meant Lancashire! Pile on the abuse it's well-deserved!

Win at all cost, b*gger the football seems to have been the motto of the day. No problem unless that becomes the norm. We were rock solid until pards took James & Wotton off. Maybe they were knackered, maybe had knocks but whatever they were poor changes wit neither Gillett or Wilshire having a clue how to go about their task or where to play. Hence a goal to the Tractor Boys and with mor etime at their disposal, the likelihood is that they would have beaten us. Still, they didn't so there we are into the 5th round and earned probably an away tie to Bolton... on a wet & freezing Wednesday night but hey! that's the glamour of the FA Cup for you.

Never forget we had to sell most of those guys to stay afloat not because we didn't want them. Even Drew Surman had to leave very much against his will. In my view there would be no harm done at all in welcoming back a few of them, as products of the Academy and with a few years experience at other clubs behind them they could be well motivated to help take their alma mater club to higher levels.

Oh Dear! Andy, Andy what are you saying? You want us to take you seriously? About all that dilettante ballet dancer is good for is handbag fighting with other big girls blouses with hairy manes and too much slap. Poseurs please apply elsewhere. We want a striker not a strutting bloody pea****!

Bugger Me, 7,500 gate?????! Is nobody in Milton Keynes interested in footie? After all the huh-ha about tickets, we cold have had 20000 if we'd wanted them. Still, it's good to know that we are still regarded as a glamour team around the country and so attract huge crowds on our travels....

All this stuff amazes me, I thought we had already too many players on our books; were seeking to offload quite a few we didn't want. Instead of which we seem intent on filling our squad with even more journeymen, wannabees and one-dimensional numb skulls on job-seekers allowance who'll probably never make it to the first team anyway. So it's loads o' money in the debit column with not much to show on the credit page. This can't be healthy financially and for team morale with lots of new blokes thinking they are on a promise for first team football but in fact unlikely to get a sniff when AP discovers they're no better than what we've got. This situation I do not like. It acannot go on like this. It's time to stop living in a make believe world that buying lots of players is the solution to all our ails. Solution it ain't: we are going to find that out the hard way before too long. Just imagine how long it'll take Pardew to sort out his best eleven and in the best eleven positions after this further upheaval, especially as he hasn't achieved that after half-a-season already. You know what its like... on the record players always say "It's great to have better players coming in and challenging for positions etc, etc" whereas what they really mean is; "F*** this! I thought I was doing OK and the boss like me so now where does that leave me? Sod it, I'm off as soon as I can find another club who really will appreciate me and b*ll**ks to all that effort in training and stuff... "

We have some very tough games ahead and so far have not been able to eat anybody in the top 8 home or away so my personal opinion is that it will be impossible to make the play-offs. Our new team will need time to settle which of course is a luxury we do not have anymore. It is also becoming more evident that Alan Pardew does not know which is his best eleven players in their best positions so the chances of getting back to a settled side and a 8 or 9 game run without chopping and changing things around. we'll need to win half a dozen at least on the trot just to close the gap to the play-offs and that doesn't look very likely any time soon. Another more worrying concern is the initial signs that AP is losing touch with reality and becoming delusional as reflected by his post-match reaction to the Millwall game where we were totally outplayed all afternoon, yet he tries to insist that we were "unlucky to drop two points". That sounds to me like preparing his excuses ahead of today's review meeting with Mr Cortese. Let's be real, it can't be easy admitting to spending £3-4 million on players and still be in the parlous state we were before, no better, no worse. "So Mr Pardew, exactly when will I be seeing a return on my investment?"

What a shambolic load of crap that was, what the f*** is wrong with Pardew? What the f*** are substitutes for if you don't use them. Today is a black day and we can kiss the play-offs on the Rrse as we wave 'em bye! bye! And we have to endure this crap for a few more months yet.. Is Pardew really committed or has he been tapped up by a few Prem sides. On today's evidence he doesn't seem to give a toss whetehr we lose, draw or win.

Don't bet on the game going ahead. It is forecast to **** down moggies and wufties overnight and all day tomorrow so could be rained off especially if the siub soil is stil frozen and the water has nowhere to go

Should stick with Bart, he's done nothing wrong to deserve being left out. Kelvin will be key later in the season if we get near the play-offs and pressure starts to kick-in when kids tend to get the 'sammy jitters' so we need him 100% fit and 100% ready for the fight; my guess is he isn't really up to that level just yet through lack of match practice.

Norwich with ambitions to overhaul Leeds to win the title - this bloke buggers off on a free... Something doesn't fit lads, doesn't fit at all! I smell a rotting herring!

He's 22, ambitious and won't be costing us a fortune so under Pardew's tutelage he'll probably develop into the real thing. What you have to remember is that we need a squad that can take us through the CCC to the prem and still be young and fit enough to play up there for a couple of seasons whilst we find our feet again. Of course, it is always a gamble to try to spot future potential but signing PTB 30-something year olds or loanees is only ever going to be a short-term stop-gap solution of limited success and currency. I thought the Exeter RB was the bloke to sign there and then on Boxing day but maybe it would not have been so wise to make such decisions on top of a Christmas day blow-out... Or maybe they got the names mixed up in correspondence... ??? !!!

We most need a Right Back. Gary Neville is out of contract and still pondering on whether or not he can still hack it in the Premier, if he doesn't sign for Manure, then why not?

One of the worst outcomes for SFC, AP must be mental. Still thick as sh*t*, do as you're told, perform like an Rrse was never the creed of Simon Gillett. That's why he doesn't fit in here.

Taking the ****, 2010 style...

Did they play today? I hadn't noticed they were at home...
