Shroppie Posted 1 November, 2014 Share Posted 1 November, 2014 I'm really beginning to think we're invisible. If we finish 2nd, the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th teams will get CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Force Posted 1 November, 2014 Share Posted 1 November, 2014 NBC sport a little more complimentary, Robie Earl even thinks we might be able to stay in the top four. Robbie Mustoe less positive, but they spent 5 minuets talking about what we are doing right and admitting they were wrong about us. So at last w are being noticed in the us.

washsaint Posted 1 November, 2014 Share Posted 1 November, 2014 And finally the Southampton Way is being acknowledged. Earle, Mustoe and Rebecca all VERY complimentary about the way the whole club is run and not down to individuals. Happy, Happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Site Agent Posted 2 November, 2014 Share Posted 2 November, 2014 No one thought that a man could run the four minute mile untill Roger Bannister did it. Two month later Bannister did it again.........and so did the Australian John Lundy. On their day, anyone can beat anyone else. Stop over analysing and enjoy the ride.

Wirral saint Posted 2 November, 2014 Share Posted 2 November, 2014 Talksport was the same on Saturday, never even mentioned us on the hourly headlines....and I absolutely love it. I honestly believe that so many so called "experts" tipped us for a relegation dogfight that they are now embarrassed and are basically never going to mention us until the "bubble burst's" and they can start saying again "I told you so...." etc. etc. Long may we continue under the radar!!!!!!!!!!

You do realise we are getting loads and loads of coverage and plaudits don't you? For the last two weeks on MOTD, Saints have had five/six/whatever minutes worth of analysis and our opponents (Hull and Stoke) have had a single sentence mention at the end. Both opponents totally ignored, the kind of thing people go mental about on here when it happens to us. As for "Embarrassed pundits", well Robbie Savage has been praising us and happily admitting how wrong he was. As have loads of other journalists and pundits. Pretty much all of them say stuff about how brilliant it would be if we broke the top four. Patrick Barclay said that today (while, again, admitting he was wrong too). The only place this scenario of "the media can't wait for us to fail" eminates from is the chip-on-the-shoulder paranoid imagination from over sensitive Saints fans. It is not happening.

slickmick Posted 3 November, 2014 Author Share Posted 3 November, 2014 Why ? Do you genuinely believe we will be challenging at the end of the season then ?

Is there a link to the 'simply not true' thing you are so upset about. Because I bet what was actually said was Chelsea's gap on City which, like it or not, simply is true. Secondly, if Man U were in second place, four points behind the leader, then obviously they would be title contenders. This is getting ridiculous.

That they regard Man Utd as a bigger club ? Because they are ? Whats the issue with that ? We are in an excellent position, but Id suggest the best we could hope for in reality is top 6, maybe, just maybe, top 4 at an absolute maximum But what do you want ? Fanfare when you walk down the road with your stripes on ? Get over it Besides, lets not get carried away, we have played two of last years top 6 this year, how did we get on ?

Read the first post again and you have your answer. But as you seem to be struggling what my complaint is, I'll explain it simply as I can for you. They got it wrong by saying Chelsea are 9 points clear at the top. Have another look at the tables and you will see they are 4 points clear at the top.

kpturner Posted 3 November, 2014 Share Posted 3 November, 2014 These "precious" threads and posts are becoming a bit frequent. It is not really surprising that the media compare their points total against their title rivals rather than against the current second place team.

The BBC did just that and I have no reason to criticise them for it. ITV however didn't word it that way, they worded it as fact that Chelsea were 9 points clear at the top and that's what annoyed me. We all know it's highly unlikely that we will challenge for the title, but to totally erase us as if we don't exist I find disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
