Pardew believes Town would treat a draw like a win (From Swindon Advertiser)

AAAAlan Pardew is n horses **** he is the meanest sucks...............
..

What a muppet

I'd settle for a draw but believe we are worthy of all 3 points.
Good luck tonight, I would have love'd to be there.

Ordinarily I'd call Pardew a prize male chicken. But a draw would indeed be a very good point, especially given our 'I can't believe it's not an injury crisis' (tm) - DW says having up to 6 players out isn't an injury crisis!.

Danny goes in to every game looking for 3 points and that won't change tonight, however in certain games you would settle for a point and that may be the case tonight. Our injury hit squad isn't ideal for the next to games, I pray that Lucas is available because Smith is very inconsistant. Town play better against the better sides so anything can happen. I'm going to be a bit abitious and say Swindon win 2-1.

After his impressive show on Saturday it seems likely that Marshall will be in the starting eleven tonight. Not so sure that he will last for 90 minutes though ! So much will depend on who we have on the bench i.m.o. Bodin ? Smithy will be busy and hopefully on his best form.

Complete and utter drivel from a complete and utter muppett.

To say "a draw would be a win" might be true if they were playing Stockport. However, we are a side who has been in and around the top six all season and have always gone away from home looking for victory.

Also, Southampton are without doubt the worst team to visit the County Ground this season. If Austin and Paynter had begun their partnership by that time we would have had a cricket score. As it was, it was the most comfortable 1-0 I have ever seen.

Another point to make is that even if Southampton hadn't had a points deduction they still wouldn't be in the play off zone and I think it is unrealistic of them to think of themselves as play off contenders.

With all that said, I would settle for a point tonight, largely because it's our game in hand and would leave a nice 6 point cushion between us and Huddersfield.

But Pardew can wind his neck in and I'd love it if we could make him eat his words.

You must be one of the worst readers of football ever. Need to get your facts in place. Saints started the season 1 week out of administration. How can you prepare like that. To lose 1.0 ( and I was there ) was ok in the circumstances. As for our position. Look at the goal difference, That is our true position. If you don't believe that look at all the other leagues. You will eat your words when we scrape in to the playoffs and knock you out at Wembley..A point away to Saints would be a great result for Swindon. You even admit that. BUT you wont get it. 4.0 is most likely.

Anyone know how many season tickets were finally sold for the Town-end?

I have a good feeling about tonight reckon we will nick it...

Dream on! Tonight you will finally realise were you belong, 3rd tier of English football, We will be waving bye-bye to you when we reach the championship! Even pompey will still be above you.

You clown. Since when has league position been based on goal difference? We have a poor goal difference because on the very few occasions we have been defeated this season, we have lost heavily (apart from the 1-0 at Norwich).

I don't care if Southampton were just out of administration. Leicester got promoted while in administration and Portsmouth have qualified for the FA Cup semi final (I'm sure you don't need reminding of that!).

Southampton have no chance of the play offs this season and I expect Town to get something out of the game tonight, even with our crippling injury list.

And pardew will be off to west Ham the first chance he gets, Hope malpas applies for the vacancy.

Southampton have no chance of the play offs. -10 and a shocking start did for them.

To the saints fan - wow, you've got a good goal difference. How many points do you have again?

Hang on a minute. Everyone has said that Pardew is a 'muppet' and a 'fool' because he said a draw would be like a win (in other words you would be happy with a point), but then you all more or less agree by saying that a draw would be a good result. What does that make you. Some of the comments on here are a joke.

We were awful when we came to you. Half our team has changed. We had only just come out of admin and had no pre-season. But hey, that's our problem not yours. In same way I wouldn't expect you to blame your 'injuries' when we beat you tonight.

We have won 7 in a row at home, and have only lost 4 in the last 33 (One to a Premiership side). Feel free to take a dig re: Portsmouth. I would do the same, but no one cares enough to be rivals with you. We have not been outside the top 6 form table since November.

Huddersfield arrived at our place, spouting off rubbish about how if we had the 10 points added on etc, we wouldn't be in top 6, and they got turned over.

In short, don't call someone a muppet, and then agree with him, because it makes you look like....well a muppet.

I look forward to you bring well over 3,000 down to our gaff tonight, like we did when we came to watch our reserves lose at the County Groiund.

cant believe im not making tonights game. Why did this one have to get re-scheduled to a tuesday night? So annoying. Me and bro have been on about these games for years. Him being a saints fan and me being Swindon. We were at the game at swindon, but cant make tonight because of work commitments. Very very annoying. Words cant even describe how gutted we are. Come on Swindon 3 lovely points to make that top 2 more of a chance again !!!!!

When all's said and done you are a mid-table third division outfit. We have a far greater chance than you do of being in the Championship next season, regardless of tonight's result.

Deal with it.

dont even lower yourself to this guys stupid comments. If he'd seen how 85% of swindons games this season have been one-sided he wouldnt even put a post on here. Yep the only thing saints can use for amunition tonight is our injury list. If we didnt have that, they wouldn't stand a chance. Still gutted about our injuries tho but hey thats life.

Deal with it!? What kind of comment is that? I have no problem with where Southampton are this season. If we don't make the play-offs, which looks as though it may be the case, we'll be one of the favourites to go up next season.

We are also on our way to Wembley, 44,000 of us, and got to play Premiership teams in both cups this season....but your right, I'll just have to 'deal with it'.

it is quite obvious we wont bring 3000 fans away to see you as it is a nothing game to us we are basically playing pompeys reserve team on a tuesday night the league table dont lie saints fans add your 10 points on and you will still be out of the top six and the only reason a draw would be acceptable is due to our injury list and we will probably still nick the result

Would take a point now! Cannot see how Southampton still figure they can qualify for the play-offs. They need far to many teams above them to slip up and I just cannot see that happening!

I’m not sure why Southampton fans are commenting on here, haven’t they got their own local rag website to use? Anyway, back to the point. I fully expect Swindon to win here, and put an end to Southampton’s unrealistic play off hopes. I was there the last time we played them at the Dell and lost 5-1 in 1993. How things have changed since then! If I remember correctly they only had half a stand behind the goal and the other half was a main road.

The excuses are coming out already. You have a few injuries, big deal. We had injuries when we came to you, but it didn't matter to you then. You're not making excuses already are you!?

And I suppose the 3,400 that came up to your place at the beginning of the season see little old Swindon as a massive game...hahah you guys are good for a laugh.

I'm more worried about Bristol Rovers. They are 5 points better off than Southampton, and smashed them 3-2 at St Mary's earlier this season.
I also believe they are more equipped to deal with the run in to the playoffs, and have more talent than Southampton who just seem to have reached their level now.

Is this website only for Swindon fans. Sounds like a communist site to me. No other views allowed, must not say anything to upset you. Go to southern Evening Echo site. Its a free world in Hampshire. You can use your same password.
You will still lose 4.0

Ooohhh Lanky. Your messiah 'Danny Wilson', said we have the best squad in the division. That's got to hurt, hasn't it!?


Anyway boys and girls it has been nice debating with you, shame you haven't quite grasped the concept of that word yet. Better get your work done, I don't want you missing your team, 'playing for a draw', at St Marys tonight. And no excuses for why you won't be there. Only a short train journey and there are plenty of tickets left.

The truth is, you would rather be a Swindon fan right now than a Saints fan.
Enjoy your big night, as win, lose, or draw, we will still be in the playoff places this evening.

PardewsBabies, London says...

“ And no excuses for why you won't be there. Only a short train journey and there are plenty of tickets left.”
Yes there will be plenty of tickets left as most Southampton fans turned their back on the club when they got relegated from the Premiership. You haven’t been anywhere near a trophy since you won the FA cup 34 years ago. In the same time Swindon have won the 4th Division, 3rd Division, 3 play-off promotions and a league cup semi-final.

Oh it upsets me to get dragged into these arguments but can't help it. My view on Saints is that they have a very good side due largely to the fact that they have used a rich owner to harvest the rest of the leagues talent e.g. 4 of their 5 scorers against Hud started the season as top players at other league clubs. They are doing the best to bu their way out of the league. Its a free market, they are entitled to do it but not what I think football should be about. Thats another debate though. They'll almost certainly go up next season but be interesting to see whether they survive with purely league 1 players or whether the owners will have to buy their way out again. As for when we first played them there is no way it was a reserve team. I was sitting with a Saints fan who was gutted at the state of his team and worried for the season. As for your bleating about just coming out of admin not having time to prepare.....thats league 1 for you. The value of your squad should still have beaten us. But it didn't. You need to face facts that with whats been available you,ve had a dreadful season. As for tonight, we can do it depending on what players are available. I'd love to see DW gamble with a few young players. He went with the relatively untested Marshall on Sat who was revelation and played big part in us winning. It'll be tough but if we play to our full ability we can get 3 popints tonight

Am I the only one noticing that even without the 10 point deduction Southampton would still only be in 8th place AND 6 points behind us? Jog on...

Pretty poor 'wind up merchant' but hey who cares, I think the pressure is more on them than Swindon, we are possibly expecting a bad result - seems they're not. Our side will be a bit of an unknown quantity even to us - wait and see what happens.
I think Pardew has helped with our team talk too.

the_gloves
Your comments are fair but only what suits you. Div 1 does not mean you everyone starts in admin does it ?
Also the team at Swindon had 3 players left from the previous season. and only 5 will appear tonight. If someone puts money into your club, you won't use it to buy better players.
So many excuses. Everyone of your fans posts, bar a couple, are making excuses for tonight. Injuries we all have them.
Check the fixtures. Saints will be in the playoffs. As for goal difference not counting. Is that this league only? If you make it to the play off final against us I hope you can find more than 7k fans. Bye for now. off to the game.

Anyone would think you were sitting in the play-offs sitting 16 points clear of your opponents tonight. I'm not making any excuses, we'll go to your place tonight looking for the win, but you better hope you don't get beaten, as you'll be 19 points from 6th places with only 33 points to play for. You are the same as Leed's fans, think you're too big for the division as you have loads of fans. We have taken plenty of fans to Wembley every time we have been. Lets see if you are so smug come the end of the season.

im actually going to the saints final as my bro is saints fan. Tickets came through last night. Gonna be a big match Vs. eerrrrrr ..... Carlisle. Mouthwatering. Saints have been allocated 3 quarters of the ground (expected to sell out) and Carlisle a quarter (or something like that) wow saints really do like these big opposition games.

My point is that most teams start with very little funds. We lost our best player with little time to prepare and bring cover in. Lots of teams in same boat. As for last time we played, you could put the same argument for us. Only 3 will turn out that played earlier in the season, 5 if whole team was fit. I'm not making excuses. I still think we can beat you today. Even with injuries. Just think that if we didn't have 1 fit striker as well as numerous injuries else where it would be game of far higher quality. And please don't start with the juvenile comments about having fewer fans turn up to games. May well be the case but we're higher up the league and beat you last time we played. You have your fans, we'll have the points.

Dear oh dear, we get 2 (yes only 2 - for such a massive club) visiting supporturds come on here today. spouting what can only be described as 'drivell' at best, and it sparks such a reaction!!

Lots of people with time to kill eh?

I think the biggest loser in this whole story is Pardew. He was nothing short of deluded both before and after their defeat to us earlier this season, and it appears he has not changed much since.

I personally think we might get hammered tonight, and I thought that prior to our injuries, but could equally see us nick it, as we did on saturday with a patched up team, after a shocking defeat at home to rovers, and and unlucky night at MK, both games we expected to win, now that is what it is like following our 'little' club lol

Our little club that has seen top flight football, european cup victory, league cup winners, 3 times play off winners and other divisional titles, along with 33,000 fans making the trips to wembley, but hey, let 'massive' southampton spout their garbage and their over inflated views about 'where they should be'

As for the comment about goal difference!! What a muppet, can anyone tell me the last team to get promoted from mid table with a big positive goal difference?

Thought not.

Ha ha what a laugh, I love the saints fans they are great !! Deluded but great..... They were a big club and you have to say still are, but being a big club gives you more money better finances and the ability to pay players big wages...
But when you come up against teams with a bit of passion full of players who actualy enjoy playing for their club (and arent there for the wages) then they fall short.
We have come a long way in a short space of time, nearly relegated last year and will be in the playoffs this year, saints are a very good team and have bought some good players, same as huddersfield, but "little " swindon are above them all, even if they beat us 10 nil tonight, wonder how their 33,000 fans feel about that !!!!

@Saints Fans

Having a large fanbase doesn't entitle you to anything, so you needn't come stamping in here throwing numbers like "33k against Leeds" as if they mean something. Nobody cares about your average gate, they care about your form on the pitch and ability to win games.

Are Southampton on an impressive run of form? Yes, undoubtedly. But so were we until a week ago. All it takes is one bad game, even one bad moment to ruin that. If I were a saints fan, I'd certainly hope that the players were more cautious of the threat posed by other teams than you guys are.

I know you've obviously come here for an argument (why else would you visit another teams forum and make inflamatory comments?) but at least use some valid points.

"blaming the injuries, making excuses already" - is that not what you were doing earlier with regard to having just come out of administration when you last played us?

"we got to play premiership sides in both cups" - aside from the fact that getting drawn against a premiership side is blind luck, so did we.

I could go on but I beleive the phrase on the Internet is "don't feed the trolls", and I've already done that far too much.

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
r surely it says more about our support that we are playing a smaller club,it's easy to sell out against a man united but not a carlisle which we have done quite well me thinks!

Oh and on all the other stuff you are writing about saints,are you really that naive to say because we were bad at swindon it means we are gonna be the same team tonight? and the pathetic "if you had ya ten points back you'd still be outside the play-offs,please answer this honestly do you really think because we are where we are that we're a bad team?i think a more realistic thing and stat you should be looking at and whats more important for your lot tonight is our last six games and who we have beat - norwich 0 - 2saints saints 5 - 0 huddersfield saints 5 - 1 walsall oh and saturdays game saints 1 - 0 leeds which should of been a tonking by the way! all of them barring walsall came into the game with the same attitude that swindon fans have,they see poor old southampton down in tenth place and think it'll be a walkover not caring to actually look into what our club has gone through this season,thats right why don't you look at what a turn around our club has had and then come and insult us by saying we are having a poor season like someone did in this thread,i'll let you know what a poor season is,it's playing with a bunch of reserve players and young kids for a whole season because we are broke and only winning 2 or 3 home game in the whole season,having a chairman who couldn't give a **** about anything but his ego and the size of his wallet,a chairman who put the club into administration a week after the cut off point for not getting the 10 points deducted and you're telling us that we are having a bad season? this season has been absolutely brilliant for most saints fans and most saints fans are realistic about getting to the play-offs which we won't in my opinion and i hope swindon do because they have played well from what i have seen but lets not get into this childish stuff where you say my clubs better than you and so on because it's just really pathetic to read when you don't know the whole facts.I hope it's a good game tonight and the best team wins but i won't lose sleep if we lose.Good luck for the rest of the season.

If Pardew truly believes what he says then he's even more of a plank than I thought. He really isn't a very bright bloke.

A draw would be a good result for both teams - Saints aren't in the playoff race in any case.

I reckon we'll win it 2-1 but fairly comfortably. Sounds like they're not preparing properly.

Saints, my second team, to go up next season or the one after - as long as they get rid of AP.

Can you honestly say that you are going to win comfortably? have you seen our home record recently? i'm sorry but some football fans really get up my nose.I think whoever wins it it aint going to be comfortable.

"In the same time Swindon have won the 4th Division, 3rd Division, 3 play-off promotions and a league cup semi-final."
Funniest thing I've ever read on any comment section, anywhere!
Yep, while we were playing Arsenal, Man U, Chelski week-in-week-out, reaching the FA cup final and getting into Europe, we were dreaming of the glory years when we would be playing the likes of... um... Swindon Town (3rd div champions).

adam 1981, where to begin? Firstly I don't care how many fans you have, nobody does. Second, you want an honest answer to your question the answer is yes, you have been a poor team for most of the seaon full of very good individuals at this level. It was me who were saying you,ve had a dreadful season and I stand by it. With the resources you have had available from start of season (one paper estimated 2 mil on players) you should be much higher. Leeds had 10 point deduction a few years back and challenged for the autos by the end. Thirdly "come and insult us". You lot came here spoiling for an argument. Fourthly, while my heart bleeds for you about your finances last season, we've all been there. You were "lucky" enough to find a super rich owner who wants to buy his way up. As i've said, thats his right. Lets hope he doesn't get bored next season or when he realises that you,ve spent 2 mil (?) on very good league 1 players, not Championship players. I like Saints and will be shocked if you don't go up next season but you are where you deserve to be this season irrelevant of the number of fans you have.

what are you on about? i didn't boast how many fans we have! one of your fans was taking the **** out of us saying that we're taking 44,000 to see that big club carlisle and all i was pointing out is surely it says more that we're taking that amount against carlisle because it would be easy to do that if it was man u we were playing,don't you read things properly? oh and by your reckoning that means swindon have had a poor season because if you lose tonight (though by all acounts you have no chance of losing) we'd be 3 points behind you with a game in hand (if we didn't have the minus 10) which is hartlepool at home which we have a good chance of winning,i agree we have had a poorish season from an outsider looking in but like i said most saints fans wouldn't class this season as a bad one and most of us have really enjoyed it and i'm one of these fans who couldn't give a **** about the premier league,i actually like winning games! if come next season we were to be in the same position we are in now then that would be dyer,i think i'll reserve judgement on us until next season which i think you should do.

how original and how slightly pathetic,i suggest you go away and think of something better and more insulting to write.

What an odd bunch Saints fans seem to be.

The gloves point is valid. Given your resources you should be higher than you are and are having a bad season. The comparison with leeds is also valid, because A, they almost went up automatically despite starting -15. B, their fans have massive chips on their shoulders as well.

No sane Swindon fan is going to argue that we are a bigger club than you. But we beat you earlier in the season, and have more points than you even if your 10 points were added.

No-one cares that you were a mess at the start of the season. Those games do count you know? We started the season with 1 recognised striker and without a 32 goal striker from last season. You spent £1m on a 32 goal striker.

The same saints posters saying we are making excuses about injuries make excuses about being in admin at the start of the season.

Hopefully you'll do a leeds and stay down for a few seasons. Some of their fans are starting to "get it" now after a few years that they have no divine right to anything beacuse they used to be good and have loads of fans and resources.

For our Saints wind up merchants consider the following.Yes you have a great stadium, so do Leeds, it counts for nothing over 46 games, and just because you have spent loads it doesn't mean you will go up next season this is a tough league to get out of no matter how big you are, or if you have a points deduction, or not.If I were a saints fan I wouldn't be to impressed with Pardews comments ahead of tonights game, would think our Manager will have it plastered all over our changing room , and therefore he won't have to difficult a time motivating our lads.If you win tonight? so what it's just one game,and just as you were short of players when we beat you at our place, we have key players missing throuh injury tonight.It's not an excuse we may still beat you, just because you have won 7, or 8 home games in a row, so had we when we played Bristol Rovers the other Saturday at our place, result we lost 4-0, with a full strength team as it happens, our first defeat in 14 games doesn't make us a bad side.Even with injuries we have a good side, so watch this space.

Bringing 4 - 40 - 400 - 4000 or 40000 who really cares, as long as Swindon win. If they don't , it ain't the end of the world.
So if you have something sensible to add please do SM, afraid the last one you doesn't qualify. Is that reading or Reading - yes they are a bigger club so what !
I think 4-1 to Soton.

can't seem to get you swindon fans to understand anything about my club so i'll say have a good night and may the best team win! bye bye

this all started from Pardews stupid comments i think you'll find anyway ...

A draw would be a good result for both teams - Saints aren't in the playoff race in any case. I reckon we'll win it 2-1 but fairly comfortably. Sounds like they're not preparing properly. Saints, my second team, to go up next season or the one after - as long as they get rid of AP.

Can you honestly say that you are going to win comfortably? have you seen our home record recently? i'm sorry but some football fans really get up my nose.I think whoever wins it it aint going to be comfortable.

Everyone has an opinion and I'm entitled to voice mine on a Swindon website FFS. I've watched Swindon all season and we're a strong side who have comfortably beaten most sides.

We'll see what happens tonight but I think your manager and fans are in for a big surprise/shock.

Saints are a great club and a useful League 1 side but Swindon are stronger currently.

It won't be easy for us but in the end I expect a comfortable win. But I might be wrong.

The only people who get up my nose are those who will not tolerate others having a different opinion to theirs. (Well also serial killers, dictators, etc. too.)

Settle down lads. Do we really care what Southampton fans think? Course we don't. They would swap with us in an instant as we will be in the play-offs and they won't. I have no axe to grind with these guys and I think that Pardew, buffoon that he may be, makes a perfectly reasonable point. I would be very happy with a point tonight given their form and our injury situation and I don't care how we get it - spoiling tactics or otherwise. I also think he made some quite generous comments about our squad and our manager which shows he does happen to pay attention to what's going on in this division. In my view, had we spent the money they have spent this season, we would definitely have the better squad and better first choice 11.

Portsmouth are quite a big club too!

Anyway, what is with you lot on the south coast? Did you have a competition to see which of you could spend the most amount of borrowed money?

Genuinely believe we have the better first choice 11, even though our overall squad is a bit lighter, money doesn't count for everything.Having an outstanding manager with the ability to pick up the Charlie Austin type of bargain I would take over their mega bucks any day.

You must be one of the worst readers of football ever. Need to get your facts in place. Saints started the season 1 week out of administration. How can you prepare like that. To lose 1.0 ( and I was there ) was ok in the circumstances. As for our position. Look at the goal difference, That is our true position. If you don't believe that look at all the other leagues. You will eat your words when we scrape in to the playoffs and knock you out at Wembley..A point away to Saints would be a great result for Swindon. You even admit that. BUT you wont get it. 4.0 is most likely.

You need to get your facts in place 1-0 1-0 1-0 1-0 1-0 1-0. Thanks for the 6 points this season much obliged.

It seems that it's you who is the worst reader of football ever.

But don't worry we'll enjoy Wembley while you'll miss out the play-offs altogether

1-0 1-0 1-0 1-0 1-0 1-0
