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...

Upset what balance? We're as lopsided as a one-legged turkey with it's Rrse on fire!

Plenty of Skates players up for sale soon...

After four successive dismal inept displays we'll need more than a couple of inspired signings in January to get anywhere in this league, we'll need a whole ****ing team bar two - Schneiderlin and Davies. Suddenly our emperor is wearing very translucent clothes. What can we expect in January? My guess is very little... It's beginning to have the feel of those not very lond ago days when we were supposed to be grateful during the January window that we hadn't actually had to sell any more of our players and had taken a mediocre loanee that nobody else wanted onto our permanent staff. Now it could be that no news is good news and AP has 4 aces up his sleeve and is keeping mumsie in case the Gooners or Spuds get the whisper and beat us to it.... Somehow, though one sense that Saints will be forever Saints and Woking's third choice right back will be the height of our ambition. Maybe Jason is about to make a big comeback? I'll pass on the swiss roll, if it's all the same to you.

If we're honest none of them are much cop. They came, they tried they failed. Trotman is nothing more than a journeyman who's good at keepie-uppie; Mellis flatters to deceive; Connolly is good in parts but goes Awol most of the ime in most game - as again v Exeter. Antonio is from the Tesco's own label headless chicken shelf....
