Jewell leaves Nigel suddenly not available at a corporate event due to 'being at a meeting' Probably exactly the sort of manager they are looking for, with a proven track record at npc level, and might be an ideal exit strategy for him if he feels things are too much here. Bloody hope not, but it seems a bit too convenient to me...

Indeed they would, however, if he then went and won his first five games...

100℅ true. You could in theory be done for doing 31, but police forces allow you a small margin of error to take speedo inaccuracy into account, its also worth noting the margin varies from force to force, some are less lenient than others.

Pretty fair assessment I reckon

Don't come on here spouting rules and truth, there are plenty of others that know better!

If the issue was just the poor defending I would say stick with him, that can be addressed in January, as it should have been in the summer, Howevr his bizarre starting line ups and substitutions are making me think he is out of his depth, so it pains me to do so but I've voted tim for a change.

If we play 10-1-0 we might scrape a draw...

Thoughts today after Nigels interview?

To those more clued up with this interweb thingy than I am, is there likely to be a stream of todays game, and where should one look for it? Cheers

What he said. Ive added the 3 wood to my bag, and am now saving for the 5.

One question, does anyone know how many pledges were from Saints fans?

Compared with the Dutch duo?

But cortese hasnt taken us down, sold all our best players, employed a saggy faced waster, employed a load of other no-hopers, buggered off, come back and sacked a bloody good manager, taken us into admin etc etc.

You don't become such a successful business man by being a nice person, successful businessmen/women are by and large, ****s. Cortese for me fits perfectly into this stereotype, he's not in a popularity contest, he wants his club to be a success, and if that means doing it his way or the highway then so be it. Its fairly obvious history means little to him. As fans we can either try and put all the bull**** to one side ans support the team on the pitch, and thus the club as a whole, or we can do something else with our saturday afternoons. I love MLT as much as the next Saint but I wish he would drop this as for me he is making himself look very bitter and silly.

Vandalism, whilst fairly rare, has been reported in the past on cars left in streets.

Can't see it making general sale, I reckon this one will sell out long before then.

Overflowing nappies;)

Take that bloody armband off him. Sorry Nigel, most of your decisions I agree with but not this one. He doesn't need the added pressure, and to be honest he isn't really captain material for me. Give it to Fonte/Davis/Morgan

Wrong. If its in the public domain, and someone complains, the police are duty bound to investigate, and take appropriate action.

Serious question for Miltonroader07, can you honestly see Red**** working with Cortese? Honestly?

I love it how people take a thread totally out of context and then all jump on the **** taking bandwagon. Of course Cortese doesn't have a hotline to the bench, but it wouldn't be the first time a chairman has signed a player or players and had a 'must play when fit' clause in the contract, or something similar.

Nail, soundly struck squarely on head with large mallet.

Entirely possible also. He's not managed at this level before so its as much a learning curve for him as it is for the players.

Reading the interview on the OS, nogel talks about taking Rickie off as he wanted to inject some pace. So with that in mind, he brings on Guly, instead of Mayuka, who is like lightning. Its just irrational, why on earth would he make that decision unless someone above is telling him to do it, or hes taken vast quantities of mind bending drugs...

He played on after doing it?!?!? Nails, hard as
