NickG Posted 2 May, 2010 Share Posted 2 May, 2010 beating Luton earnt prize money in itself, also gave chance to play Ipswich, crowd of over 20,000. it also gave us chance to beat Ipswich for more prize money. and chance to play skates, live on tv with crowd of over 31,000. if we had won yesterday we would be no better off.

doughnutman Posted 2 May, 2010 Share Posted 2 May, 2010 Something about comparing a tackle to raping someone or something like that. I think he was commenting on a replay of a tackle and said that the tackler absolutely raped the player with the ball. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokingFun Posted 2 May, 2010 Share Posted 2 May, 2010 Excuse me Mr Pardew but fans, particularly the away game supporters, deserve the best team every week. I did not need the game today to tell me that some of the squad are not good enough I already knew as does most of the people on here. He played virtually his best team anyway you tit! Rickie replaced by 25 goal Barnard? Connolly who is quality. Sorry guys but there are many Saints fans that talk ****e!!! And don't give it the ******** about Martin, clearly that is to give some experience! By the way, if you knew anything about football and actually thought with nothing to play for AP would play his absolute best side then you're a numpty! He will probably play Rickie on Sat unless injured i expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally right game to experiment I'm with you on this Nick. There are some weird people supporting Saints. Who gives a **** if we finish 7th or 8th in the league? Fantastic opportunity to look at some players where it means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the alleged Pardew interview in the Echo where he apologises for the wretched performance - and answer the question I asked you please.

Fan The Flames Posted 3 May, 2010 Share Posted 3 May, 2010 I was at Gillingham and was happy with the days proceedings, I went to see some friends and have an afternoon out watching some football, consolidating 7th place doesn't seem that important to me. Giving a run out to some second string players is more important and it good to see some of them play, I was interested in seeing Martin. But then I only live about 10 miles from Gillingham so maybe its not such a big deal for me, still I find it difficult to understand that after a great season people would let this dead rubber game upset them so much.

Windmill Arm 2 Posted 3 May, 2010 Share Posted 3 May, 2010 and what happened to honesty? Honesty to other teams like Wycombe, Tranmere. They were relying us to at least try. Honesty to all the traveling fans, after spending hard earned money to support their team. If you paid full price to go to the theatre and found out when you got there that not only the star was missing but half of the supporting cast as well. Would you be ****ed? Especially when the manager says sorry, but promises the best ones will be playing next week... :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Unbelievable, do you want the best possible chance of going up next season?? Would you make the same decision if you were manager? i'm guessing yes. Fecking clueless!!! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 3 May, 2010 Share Posted 3 May, 2010 To be honest, it wasn't even that weak. It was arguably our strongest available midfield. Mills has played well on several occasions this season and started in preference to Harding on a few occasions. Barnard and Connolly are hardly sub-standard for League One. Obviously Lambert is in our strongest 11 but I doubt there are many professionals in world football who have spent more minutes on the pitch this season. So that leaves Martin, who apparently played pretty well. Presumably because he had something to prove. Totally agree, and Martin replaced Seaborne who many don't rate. James replaced Antonio who will be at Reading next season probably. James played most of the season so is not exactly inexperienced. Up front Barnard is the leagues 2nd top scorer, and Connolly is the best player in the 3rd division (when fit). So I can't see this argument that AP played a weakened team. People have been crying out all season to give RL a rest, and now they bleat that AP actually did so. We need to learn how to play without RL on occassions and this was the perfect opportunity to experiment. The only mistake AP made was to play Fonte, in his heart he probably knew that he was not fit, but this often happens when players are desparate to play and declare themselves fit.

Um Bongo Posted 3 May, 2010 Author Share Posted 3 May, 2010 Looking back I was wrong to start this thread and Alan Pardew does not owe me an apology. A Pint would be nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
