Fair play to the guy, he seems to be proving me wrong, looking far more settled and not afraid to come for crosses, thus making the defence look more comfortable. Kicking still scares the bejesus out of me though...

The same type of Chaplow that scored against, wait for it, Man U?

Its got feck all to do with dock strikes, despite what the inbreds will tell you. HTH

Probably offered the same 3 year contract Howard was. WTFILN

Keegan Hoddle Stuck on the third one

Sad that there are decent kids who bust there arses to be pro but don't make it, yet scum like him and Joey Barton do

Do it, might be a chance to show some of the rest of the football world what the bestest are like when their true colours are showing

Red Cardiff > Blue Cardiff

What, and play in red?

Can make a noise on a guitar akin to music, no where near good enough to be in a band though

VEry good game tonight, well done to the guy. Hope he's finding his confidence and will make the place his own now. Needs to work on his kicking though...

A poorly worded, drunken emotional rant. Probably best left at that:blush:

Thanks for setting that up, message sent.

Having slept on it/sobered up/calmed down a bit, I rescind my post from yesterday. Of course I don't want the club to go down, and I back the new manager and the players 100%. I'm a Saints fan, ans always will be, I was before Cortese came along, and all things being well I will be long after he is gone. Thats not to say I'm not still fuming about the situation, but as a fan what can I do? Either go and carry on enjoying my football, or go and do something else. So there you go, apologies for the silly post, but no apologies for thinking Cortese is a bit of a see you next tuesday. UTS

Sacked a decent manager Brought in car park charges Brought in ticket tax Tried his best to bury the clubs history Banned the local paper Sacked loyal programme sellers Sacked the best young English manager in the business who was well on course to survive his first year in the premiership Probabaly some other stuff I have missed What next?

Thanks for replying with a reasoned response. Possibly youre right about Nigel, who knows? The problem for me is not just SAints, who I will always support, but the premier league and what its become as a whole. Sadly to me it isn't football anymore, its just a cash cow where a bit of loyalty is non existent. I would be happier out of it if it means this is the way our club is now run.

Not sure how standing by my principles makes me a hypocrite, but if you say it does...

Yep, thats right. I hope he fails and we get relegated. Why? Because that will mean Cortese has failed. Ive supported Saints for over 30 years, but yesterday something changed for me. We went from being a decent club with values we could be proud of to being a wannabe Man City, a club that rides roughshod over fans and employees alike in the aim of squeezing a few more quid out of them for rich owners who don't give a stuff about football. Sadly this is what the premiership is all about now. Quite frankly you can keep it. The way I feel at the moment I will not be renewing my season tickets next year, I realise this won't affect the owners one jot but I don't feel I can put my hard earned money into something that behaves like it did yesterday, and has been doing for a little while now. After all the Lowe times I thought we had hit rock bottom and things couldn't get any worse, perhaps I was wrong, we've gone from one nutter with at least a small shred of decency to a bigger one with none whatsoever. I realise I will get all sorts of abuse thrown my way for posting this, go for your lives, I really couldn't give a toss what anyone else thinks. Theres a saying that goes 'be careful what you wish for', maybe we should have. Sad times. Cortese out.

Sadly in the modern game football supporters mean feck all to club owners. We don't even put that much money in in the grand scheme of things. So you either go, support the players and enjoy yourself, or you don't bother, and go and do something else. Someone else will be in your seat, and the club will carry on without you. Either way your opinion and protest will fall on deaf ears as you just don't matter anymore.

Liverpool. Rodgers is clearly on thin ice and he's one of their own. And bloody good luck to him.

Stop bloody moaning, at least you got on the course, mine was a foot under the white stuff!

A wise man once said 'the worst day on the golf course is still better than the best day in the office' A wiser one says the worst day being a Saints fan is still infinitely better than the best a skate can hope for.

A mid sized Championship club, no real prospect of promotion any time soon, maybe the odd push for a play off, run by a businessman with a bit of integrity who stands by his appointments and sees supporters as a part of the fabric of the club, Or, a premiership team with delusions of grandeur, desperately trying to climb somewhere near the european spots, run by a rich megalomanic who hires and fires at will, and treats the fans as if they don't exist and certainly don't matter. Have to say its the first one for me, and the way I feel right now I have to say my 37th year of supporting Saints may be my last. Although that might just be an immediate emotional reaction...
