Re: Promoting from within.

Royal Rother - I have supported this club since 1965 and on this site are we not entitled to our views? I don't take insults lightly, wanna make something of this cause I will. My point of view and you have yours. I see this site hasn't changed much with kiddies insulting people at will. Mods where ...

Re: The Reading "project"

personally I don't like Adkins, no playing pedigree unlike Poyet. Adkins is another yes man and perhaps when Poyet saw the budget he said no. At least Brighton offered more scope in terms of funds available and real backing in the transfer market. I think Adkins rubbed his hands and felt how lucky w...

Re: Promoting from within.

it still smacks of Sir John's philosophy, we need a good striker and spend to succeed. We have parachute payments and could do with some experience and flair to be honest. Will we go through the season saving the parachute payments, I believe so as nothing has changed has it? To be honest I'm sick o...

Re: SJM - Minutes silence vs Liverpool

Well that would be stupid, I kind of want to see it happen out of morbid curiosity. If this is true can I suggest that those want to make a point while remaining respectful (ie don't want to sing or boo) simply remain seated. Twix are you a plank or just niaive - Thatcher not only ripped the heart ...

Re: SJM - Minutes silence vs Liverpool

let's leave politics to the politicians, this is about football and the beautiful game, this is where for 90 minutes we get lost in another world, we have the rest of the week to be subjected to the dirt of politics and real life - John don't do it out of respect for all us fans including the away s...

Re: Lack of Leadership

McDermott's biggest mistake was to make McAnuff captain. He's not had the best of seasons as a player but as the leader on the pitch, he's been virtually non existent. Today, last week, the week before, every week, we've lacked someone setting an example, a leader, a Martin Hicks, an Adie Williams,...

Re: Brian: The right decision?

it is interesting to note on the BBC website that Brian said he spent all the money available to him in January and said perhaps he and Anton had spent more. Suggests he had a poor kitty to use and might explain now the type of signings he made ie Carrico,Blackman and Akapu

Re: BFTG - The Goon Show

I wouldn't just blame Guthrie, the marking or lack of it for their third goal was non existent, their second goal could also have been prevented but sometimes our defenders just stand off too much. Even if the first goal had a hint of offside, playing that far deep and relying on offside is too dang...

Re: Biggest Managerial Appointment In Our History?

I'm not overlley impressed but i'll give the man a go. He hasn't got an impressive cv and he has no Ricky Lambert to rely on. I hope he spends the transfer funds wisely. Only time will tell if he walks as well as he talks.

firstly i would like to thank Brian for another crack in the premier league, a fantastic effort considering the wealth or lack off to achieve this. I hope Brian finds his niche and a chairman who will respect his efforts. Secondly the players. I think most of them have played to their limits and bey...

Re: Mcdonut (sorry Brian) out Di Canio in......please

I don't really rate Adkins, yeah did good things at Southampton but hit a brick wall just like McDermott has done - whatever happens it won't change the fact that we are going down so at this stage not bothered if McDermott goes now or later

bbc

has anyone read the BBC report about the Saints believing they can get the title. Awful journalism with them stating we are to play Bristol City on tuesday night, don't they check the fixture list on their own website before publishing a report. shame on the writer who obviously is not a football fan.

Brighton

Since we have just had the most physical game of the season and with the pressure mounting, would it be best to make some changes for the Brighton game. Give Hunt a rest and start with Alfie, Harte took a knock so could be out. also formation, should we still go with the usual or perhaps take the ga...
