Ohio Saint Posted 17 December, 2016 Share Posted 17 December, 2016 Its the hope that kills them As a Saints fan, I am totally familiar with that concept......But let's put it into perspective. The league below them is total obscurity. They currently reside in a division of obscurity. Their hopes and dreams at the moment are to reach a division of near obscurity. So, in their wildest hopes and dreams, they will rise to become..........Saints at their lowest ebb in their history, but without the means to rise any higher.

TopGun Posted 17 December, 2016 Share Posted 17 December, 2016 So the third placed team have an average of 2 points per game and are 7 points ahead. Therefore it is a probability that the Skates need to win their next 7 games on the trot to regain an automatic promotion place. Likelihood of that is far less than Cookie getting the sack in the NY. But I recall that McInnes said he would "eat his hat" if Cookie failed to gain them promotion. I'm wondering what type of hat McInnes wears... Photoshop as required!

hutch Posted 18 December, 2016 Share Posted 18 December, 2016 Wow, those pictures show the extent of their insurmountable problem. You've got dilapidated flashings, leaks, peeling paintwork and exposed cables nailed to the wall. All right next to a publicised media PR event. They will never, ever have the wherewithall to resurrect their stadium, it will continue to crumble around them year by year. It's like taking a step 50 years back in time. No wonder they think they are a still big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Super Saint Posted 18 December, 2016 Share Posted 18 December, 2016 Yet, despite all that, they DO have Championship standard floodlights!

Raised skywards in acknowledgement at the passing of another year, yet hesitant to predict a more yielding 2017.

Man Utd players face cup finals wherever they go, they are used to the most hostile atmospheres in Europe, I doubt they felt intimidated by a fat bloke with a bell and his gay drummer side-kick.
