I hope it is irony but I for one cannot see it

We don't do Thanksgiving Tim for rather obvious reasons but enjoy your day

Not scoring period! It's a male problem in South Hampshire by all accounts.

Let's hope that he doesn't end up for life with a dodgy leg. Michael it is time to confront reality. Why torture yourself physically and mentally? You have nothing to prove to yourself or us. We will be eternally grateful for the good days you gave us.

He's bound to say that isn't he! The finances were a shambolic mess long before Leon Crouch came to the rescue. Judas and the Smarmy Little Twerp would like us to swallow their version of history as all 'victors' do but that doesn't change history for those that lived through it.

I do not agree with you at all, it is a ridiculous suggestion unworthy of sensible debate. Both players made incisive tackles at critical points last night and for long periods bossed midfield. If you have a downer on these guys don't exercise your frustration by creating spurious and inaccurately supposited threads

Very disappointing but that's Saints. In reality Saints do not do well at home because they have no idea how to deal with a packed defence; nine times out of ten a visiting team expect to defend for a point in away matches. It works better for these Saints in away games simply because the home sides attack most of the time and do not sit back and defend until they have a good enough lead or are forced to by circumstances during the match. Saints can then walk the ball into the net during breakaways. Home sides rarely pack defenses at home as that is not what their fans want to see, so there is an expectation of going for a win. This was all too plainly obvious last night as Argyle strung two blocks of four across the field in high line position and swiftly dropped all eight men into the 18 yard box as soon as a Saints attack developed, thus leaving us to weave pretty patterns IN FRONT of their back eight! Only when we got past their deep line on the wings did we look at all dangerous and then, when it was vital to snap up any half chance, none of them could hit the target or were scared to shoot. It is my belief that we will not go down now as we have learned to defend a bit but points will be a struggle. We have 20, we'll need 45 (6 wins, 7 draws?) so let's hope we can mug a few more teams away and pick up the odd win and a few draws at home!

The argument I am putting forward is that we need a different approach to cut and run. We need some enterprise and ingenuity and determination to do something different and more positive, which seems well beyond the strictly limited capabilities of the present regime. We need to draw a line in the sand on player sales; forget about cut and trim and crimp and save and find new income streams that will supplement the dwindling existing advertising, corporate sponsorship and gate receipts. Easily said I know, but the people who can do that for us will well deserve a decent remuneration and our sincerest gratitude, unlike the pinched-arse navel obsessed bean counters who deserve nothing.

Much the same as I wrote last week in another thread. Spot on! Regrettably we are in a vicious downwards spiral already so there is a certain inevitability about what will happen next. I don't know the answer either, we sell to survive only to sell amd survive and to sell and survive but for how long and in what state? As I have said before, if we end up in the Southern Conference playing to 536 people on makeshift scaffolding stands on Millbrook recreation ground, exactly what will the smarmy little twerp have achieved????

Good to see viewing figures on this forum are up to 157 from the usual Monday morning 81 or whatever. Amazing what an unexpected win will do for morale but caution high hopes for the game on Tuesday, this is after all Saints; Saints are really very good at doing what they always do when hopes are high...

Reading are still the team to beat

What was that all about!

Fine in principle but does anybody want them. Most clubs are in dire financial straights and the sort of money these guys might want probably isn't out there. No way will they get a call from the prem.

I don't think anybody cares enough any more.

I don't believe a word of it. If it turns out to be true than really we are in all kinds of trouble. It would be last ditch defiance to suspend administration but with Saints bleeding cash by the hundreds of thousands per week it would be a futile attempt to stave off the inevitable. Like basically peeing on a forest fire. More and more people will stay away simply because they will no longer believe there is anything left worth supporting. What would be the point of surviving by playing 16 year olds on a makeshift pitch at Millbrook Recreation Ground in front of 2,843 diehards? Will the last man out please switch off the floodlights?

It would be a miracle for Michael to make a full recovery. I fear it is another Michael owen story, in for a week out for 4 etc.

This is a 4-0 drubbing minimum.

The chance was missed about 10 years ago and there isn't any chance of turning back the clock. A shared ground near Fareham (Solent City) was mooted if you remember. It would have made more sense then and would have been on neutral territory, so that both sets of fans could effectively forget about the others on their match days. Not sure waht colours the seats would have been? Possibly mauve?

It would be a great shame and a very bad move. Simon Gillett is a natural covering midfielder, tigerish in the tackle with a huge engine - jut like Paul Scholes in fact

Idiot, what's any of it to do with fans? All we can do is either stay silent or complain. If we stay silent Lowe assumes he's in the clear so we get nowhere, if we complain we get nowhere because people like you think moaners are negative! Those ugly scenes in the Northam last Saturday heralds what happens when frustration boils over. Is that waht you want? As I said last week, "Disenfranchise the people at you peril".

Why would anybody appeal this, it was a dangerous two-footed studs-up tackle.. ? End of Story! The bloke's an Ffing Tit!

That's why he's called Rudi

We cannot wait for ever for this team to click. 'Promise' must one day have it's 'delivery'. Nearly 20 games in with no change in fortunes is stretching the learning curve hypothesis to its credible limit. Time for Jan to buck the smokey's and get his feet planted.

I am a stayaway. However, I am also a fully paid up ST holder. My protest is costing me money not the club. As for standing outside SMS and joining a mob screaming for Lowe's life, forget it. I've got better things to do with my time, he just isn't that important to me. For those of you who will say "what's the point?", the point is that my seat in an expensive part of te stadium is left empty at every match and come March when Lowe sends out his ST renewal forms, if he is still in office I won't be renewing. They conned me this year by changing the deckchairs around after the early offers were made, they can't pull that trick off again!

Stop moaning about the referee, that idiot Euell went flying in from behind, foot raised and studded the Wolves player right down his shin. Accept it for what it was. It doesn't have to be a deliberate foul to be effing dangerous and this tackle was evidently dangerous as it injured the Wolves palyer quite badly and could have broken his leg. It is NOT the Ref's fault that we are complete crap and it sickened me to hear the Northam lot howling abuse at the bloke when it is Euell who should have got abuse rather than cheers when he left the field : " There are none so BLIND as those that don't WANT to SEE!"
