As usual, incomprehensible substitutions from the Lunatic Dutchman ruined any chance of us winning the game. Why, why, why move Holmes from left to right and then take him off when he was playing a blinder on the left wing in the first half? It was also plain to see that Gobern was a complete waste of space, hanging around not even watching the ball or even trying to get into the game. Had we played Euell from the beginning as the second holding midfielder things could have been completely different. There are some dirty barstewards playing for Reading these days that's for sure; I thought they were a better footballing side than that. Awesome performances from Gillett & Skacel, good stuff too from Cork & Perry. Keep going like this ad at least we'll go down with honour and all guns blazing. Will we go down...? Oh, Yes 'fraid so.

Your nephew needs a effing good thump round the ear, cheeky little sprat!

There are no legitimate ways of ridding ourselves of Lowe, so the only alternative is to rid Lowe of us. The club is rumored to be close to administration because it has no way to repay it's debts if Barclay's calls in their money soon to protect it's own liquidity and is running at a trading loss year-on-year which cannot be balanced by the simple expedient of selling one or two players. To continue in business we will need to sell 4 or 5 players per year £500-750K range) just to meet annual losses but we cannot go on doing that for 20 years whilst the Stadium mortgage winds down. We fans might as well stay away just to speed up administration, to get this whole messy business resolved once and for all. Whoever buys the club in the administration period will still need to service the £27.9 million debt or settle it outright. If Lowe hasn't got the money and cannot persuade Barclay's to stay involved, where else would he get the money from? In these circumstances he would not be considered a realistic bidder, so he isn't going to get it for £1 as many fear. On the downside, nor would any of the other usual suspects. My guess is that the administration period would run down without a serious buyer emerging signalling the demise of our club as we know it.

The transcript confirms that Lowe is a Nasty Little Twerp who blames everyone but himself! Good on you, Leon. Try every move in the book to get rid of the slimy b*st*rd before its too late to do anything.

Useless W*nk*r from Day 1

More Sh*t*, same old, same old...

They all want to see Man U now because Neville, Scholes, Giggs are all playing third team football, so we get to see them in action here for the last time. Who wants to watch Ron the Con, Thicko Looney Rooney and Beefy?

Probably because they are not good enough for the premiership and will only attract interest from CCC teams. Nearly all clubs in the CCC will be seeking to REDUCE their wages bills in Jan with much off-loading and not much new buying so bids very unlikely. No doubt Lowe has already sounded out his pals and got stone-walled; (£2M laddie, do me a favour, **** off!) hence no money coming in January; hence banks force foreclosure; hence the rumours.

Total Clueless Thicko P***k

Seats in good positions were becoming hard to find at lunchtime today (Friday). Could be 20000?

Yes, I was there at lunch time as well and was frankly amazed to be told that 4500 will go on general sale on Monday. This is Man U after all.. things ain't what they used to be and Man U are not so great to watch since the golden generation retired and you just know Looney, Thicko Ron & Tevez won't be muddying their precious boots on our cowpats.

The pity is he seems like a nice fella. On the other hand incey wincey has been shown the door on the end of a boot so Time to go Portalowe

There are no winnable games left all season. We've done them all once, they all know how crap we play and they'll slaughter us next time around. We are up s***e creek good and proper.

I thought it was total ballacks since day 1. Why would anybody who lived through Lowe's first disastrous reign ending in ignominious relegation ever believe that things would be different the second time round? Hyperbole and spin is about all he is good for, oh! and insulting the intelligence of fans. The Smarmy Little Twerp has to understand that if he takes Saints down to Division 3 he is very much on his own. He will not deserve our support and let's stick together lads and say AND he will not get it! It may be time to set up Saints United even if we play in the lower leagues for a few years, like Wimbledon and the new Manchester Fans United?

Why foist your imbecile opinions on everyone else? If you think Ince is good, sod off and live in Blackburn and fall down one of all those Beatle holes...

All I can say is "Crap opinion". Why d'ya think nobody else wants to employ him? 'Cos he's forgotten, 'cos he's history.

Is he still here, then?

Get Dave Merrington back, at least he never says never.

He was effing useless in The Netherlands and he is effing useless here.

Lowe F*** O** Wilde F*** O** Poortvliet F*** O** What a load of B******s. This is unbearable.

Precisely and because we have experienced all season a drip, drip, drip of messages from Lowe and his cohorts about how wonderful it all is, many have started to believe it thus compounding their frustration when they discover in fact that they have been brain-washed by hyper-bullsh*t aimed at deflecting thetruth... That we are a bankrupt club, bankrupt of ideas, bankrupt of skills and bankrupt of the guile and know-how to survive even in this SECOND DIVISION. Time to Go Rupert Lowe!!!

I guess all of us would like him to stay on. At the moment even a struggling premiership side would use him only as a back-up, which clearly he does not want. Saints probably suit Chelsea as it's an easy commute for the lad so they don't incur additional expense etc. On the other hand if QPR went calling? Usually, one London club will not entertain the idea of helping another so maybe all will turn out well.

What is the number of your ticket that got sold to another ST holder? I'll check the extra one given to me and if it is one of your regular seats I will happily do a swap with one of yours as long as the one offered isn't crap. Other forum users might also agree to this... We'd hate to break up families wouldn't we guys?

I think a point that it is being missed is that this bloke Dean has valuable English league experience at Liverpool & Man U... Oh! Sh** i misread the OS, he has valuable experience etc. at Huddersfield, Barnsley... oh! and Blackpool. Could you make this up? Give me strength, please give me strength. How many more days of The Long March Chairman LayO?

I'm surprised you hadn't noticed that the rich list guys are trying to off-load football clubs in a panic. Surely this can only be because they know what's coming next. The reason they are rich and we are not is because they have bloody good intelligence on what is happening and being discussed in City corridors. If they are panicking to get out there must be a VERY BIG reason. Ergo, nobody but nobody of any substance will be looking to invest in football clubs. I'm afraid it is not official yet but the football bubble has burst. To his credit, I think Lowe is aware of that. He looks glum 'cos he has realised that there is no easy way out for him and more importantly all the money he invested in shares, that has gone down the swannee. Hence his comment about the 'bonfire of the vanities' (£5 & £10 notes etc. in your language). As always these people are subject to Fruedian-isms when they quote examples. Alas, even our 'working class' heroes like Patrick Trant & Leon Crouch are financial victims but at least their reputations will be relatively intact when we go into administration whereas the captain will go down with the ship in City terms... "Whasaat old Boy, failed to stop your little shebang going into administartion? Hrumph!.... we'll let you know"
