To be fair though, you could argue that there is a certain 'third division striker' who had previously never played any higher than that, despite being 29, and is currently doing pretty well in the NPC. The art of picking a good lower league striker is in the scouting, and whether there's...

Lol...do you get points for that then?

Exactly. Time wasting. Dissent. All unsavoury aspects of the game and demonstrate a complete lack of discipline. I can understand his frustration as it wasn't a foul, but he's the assistant manager. He's 38 yrs old. He kept yapping and yapping at the ref all first half, prolonging the debate...

I'd go with this. P'boro played gung ho football last season and CMS was in his element. When we drew 4-4 up there in Jan (I think), he was borderline unplayable. The trouble is, Poyet has spent £3.25m on a player who doesn't fit into his system. That's pretty poor management. Personally I'd...

The officials were very poor, I'd agree. The first pen was outside, I thought the second pen was a pen at the time (but it looked a bit harsh having seen it on the telly now). However, I couldn't comment last night on the ones up the other end (in front of the BHA fans), but Lambert nearly had...

My view, from the perspective of a Saints season ticket holder is: 1st half BHA kept the ball ok, but seemed to be trying to stifle the game and hit on the break (much like last season at SMS). We took 25 minutes to get into it. Can't comment on the penalty claims - too far away. 2nd half, we...

We don't care about them at all. They're a bit like Bompey (Bournemouth)...want to beat them because they were challenging (the year before last), but there's no rivalry - they may not like us, like Bompey, but we don't care about them. I went to Dean Court last season, and Bompey were so...

But that game's not until April.....unless the tickets are already on sale, which I doubt

It's not what they've become, it's what they are. They had a few years living the high life on the taxpayer, and are now sliding back to the gutter where they belong.

:lol:

I have to say, I wasn't impressed at all with the style at SMS. Considering the massive outlay in wages, it's not a very good use of money. Carew is better than 'hoof it up to him and get a knock down'. You don't carve out a lengthy career in Spain if you can't play a bit. My understanding of...

League 1 team with a few additions (totalling less than one of the other league 1 teams additions) = 1st (playing pretty football) :)

Better for everyone to think you're an idiot than to write drivel like this and confirm it:facepalm: Such a mistake for us that we've been promoted, are 5 points clear in the Championship, won 17 straight home games and generally broken club record after club record. Looking forward to your...

OK, so it's not going well here for you, is it: - Cork. It turns out that it's word of mouth, not from Cork's mouth. You haven't heard it from him, just something that someone in the Burnley directors box has told a Burnley ST holder. Let's say that 'someone' it was a director....I guess they'd...

What are you banging on about? Pardew did a decent job. Adkins is doing a much, much better job. There is no way we would be where we are with Pardew in charge - a lot of the away games in his season in charge showed that. Honestly mate, you need to take a leaf out of most of your fellow BHA...
