Must be hard to watch SSN with the back of your head

Unfortunately Boro and Derby play each other so the most we can be ahead is 7 points if these two draw.

I feel like this, got a feeling Gorkss will score. Does make me chuckle that after such an important win last night we're surfing on a wave of invincibility but we're not invincible and I'm less confident about Reading than I was about West Ham. Our away form of late has been steady but not amazing. Would love to win but a draw wouldn't be too bad and I think it will finish a draw, having Adam back fully fit could make a difference though.

So you've come on to say "I know why Pardew left but I'm not saying..." We don't know who you are or who your source is and probably what you know isn't the full truth anyway so why are you scared to say what you know? Throw an alleged in at the start and you've covered yourself. That is unless you don't believe it yourself.

*In Keegan mode* I would love it, LOVE IT if we won tonight. I reckon this could be difficult though, we're favourites to win and the new players coming in for Cardiff will be fresh and eager to prove themselves. I can see us drawing and 'boro winning so we'll be second going into the weekends games but we'll regain top spot after beating Watford and our rivals all playing away. I think we should play a strong midfield and win the battle there, make the bluebirds chase shadows for a while and wear them down. My starting line up would be -----------------------Davis--------------------------- Frazer----------Fonte-----------Jos--------------Fox ------------Morgan-----Cork----Hammond------------ De Ridder -------------------------------------Lallana -----------------------Lambert---------------------- Should be a good game.

Decent point but wanted to win as I can see us struggling at cardiff. I think a 4-5-1 formation would work better away from home as we seem keen on sticking with 4-4-2 in every match (not complaining as it's worked so far but maybe teams are figuring us out). Still, top of the league and and can't ask to be higher than that 8 games in, a fair few teams are now lurking behind us though.

If your sad pathetic dreams came true and we were less successful and didn't achieve promotion to the Premier League anytime soon you would be the first person to blame Cortese and use it to knock him, you'd whinge like a little girl that he didn't do enough and how you were right and better than everyone else, but now he's stating his ambition you whinge like the little girl you are saying "It's all talk blah blah blah, look at me trying to wind as many people up as possible by being a complete clueless nobody" Nothing Cortese will do will please you because you enjoy the negative side of life.

Wow, an agreement with Hypo for a change I think we should still only bring players in that will provide competition for the starting line up not only to be considered as back up, so if we are to bring in a striker he has to be damn good, good enough to compete with Lambert and Conners.

Haha! Are you serious? You never saw him come out a few days ago saying it's all rubbish and he doesn't even have a son? I didn't even know there were any rumours until I saw him deny it!

They're exactly the same answers to what GeorgeWeahsCousin copied from twitter, word for word. So it's still doesn't clarify if they're true or not.

I'm his bum chum

Really hope he comes through with no after affects, if drunk a simple push can cause serious damage if your can't get your hands up to stop your head crashing on the pavement. I assume the club haven't reported on this yet as they want the full facts before blurting any echo reported rubbish. I assume sibley will be the one who first mentions it from the club

Good ol Nick. He knows he's going to be swamped with questions about transfers from people who are bitter about a "poor" transfer window where we've kept all our quality players and brought in 4 players who can play at this level but he's going to take it all on the chin. Be nice to hear him say that our goal is promotion as well. Going to be interesting to hear the reports on this one.

Be nice to see youth be given a run out but would imagine he won't be playing now if he's giving out teamsheet information.

This. Funny, somehow I knew it wouldn't be a praising post. Don't see FF starting threads with articles praising the chairman do we? Wonder why that is... missing out on some privileges now perhaps?

This is why I think he might end up at West Ham (sadface)

He's signed for Reading, let's move on. This doesn't worry me in the slightest as recent history dictates we'll sign someone of quality there anyway. We'l sign someone better and someone who can play at a higher level, something which Gorkss is unable to do according to managers that keep letting him go when they reach the prem.

I hate that príck. Can imagine his girly squeaking giggle as he goes on about massive west ham smashing tiny saints to the signing of the season. I hope we sign Baldock now just to wipe the smug grin off his fat face. Also coss Baldock is a decent player.

Really hope so, to stay in the top 6 for the rest of the season we need more strength in depth, with the additions being competitive for the first team.

Weird, how Lardy isn't around saying much after the great result, sticks in the throat probably.

If we get both I can see it being a case of replacing Rickie and Conners when we get to the Prem and they will be out strike force. Love the fact we're getting youngster in that will will be a massive force to be reckoned with in 3+ years time when we're challenging for top 10 in the prem!

To be honest, if we spend 5m+ on a champ player with only 1 year left on his contract we're either very rich or very stupid. I hope it's the former. I bet 80% of the people jumping on the Maynard bandwagon had never heard of him until we were linked with him, in Nigel I trust though and if he wants Maynard and gets NC to spend big then I hope it pays off, I'm pretty clueless about him like most of the people on here about him, we can all look at stats but who's watched him, I bet most of the people getting excited here about him have seen nothing but figures on a website.

No one can be negative about this signing, the only reason to be negative is if he's not better than what we currently have. On the face of it he could be a lot better than what we have at left back so therefore it's a great signing. Nigel did say that the only players coming in will be ones that are better than what we have. We don't owe the weaker players a living, Harding and Dickson will have to work harder now. Great stuff! Hopefully more to come.

Whenever I score I have to hug her afterwards or she gets in a mood!

What ticket tax is that? Paid when I got there and and it was £14 like it said on the tin. £14 to watch 4 saints goals, decent price to me.
