  1. Oh, I see. Well I now feel pretty silly for my cynical pessimism about a Swiss billionaires daughter liquidating a massive inheritance asset and in so doing burdening my local club with huge interest payments on borrowed monies shuffled swiftly away from a communist system ready to either take over the world or go pop (or indeed both). The only question which remains then, I guess, is whether the mega casino and loosely football themed mega theme park will allow payment in GBP as well as Chinese Yuan. I bloody love it when a plan comes together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. People’s ability to suggest any lows at SFC are really anything much to do with the fans never ceases to amaze me. Some even suggesting people are plastics for turning up last night in the ****ing rain and terrible traffic for a televised match to watch a team who average less than a point a game at home across more than 2 seasons. Can only assume these people are simply on a wind up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Worst decision I made was to go last night. Ridiculously following a day working away in Leicester! Agree reference goal difference - now joint worst in the league and unrecoverable all season now - the equivalent of 6 defeats in one hit in this column. As a wider picture, this has been coming for a number of years now and we show more signs of a Villa/Sunderland style drop following a pulling of any appropriate investment every week. The fans were amazing last night but their pride is in the club, the city and it’s history, not the current pathetic custodians of the shirt, the previous majority owner who sold the clubs soul or the new owner who bought it in a deal propped up on matchsticks. The players were beyond words last night - 10 men or 11, to be so slow as to look 4 or 5 divisions below your opposition in a league game is simply unforgivable. RH didn’t have a chance coming into the club at the point he did. A winter of discontent beckons, the fans as ever remain resolute. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. If I didn’t think emoji’s were **** I’d do a smiley face at this. I genuinely thought the club had made their only decent fan centric move in the past decade when I read the start of that letter.. redeveloping part of the space around the ground for a season ticket holder only social space.. perfect.. only to find I was expected to pay for it on top of my season ticket. How do they expect fans to stay onside when the thing is such a shameless money making corporate enterprise run by a non existent Far Eastern owner.. place is like a bloody shopping centre. Roll on the Championship (which, based on the opening day, may be a little closer than some may want to believe). Premier League finished as a spectacle some years ago. Moan over, I’d better get back to Instasomething to see what Paul Pogba has posted about his favourite place to eat out.. Because that’s what’s interesting about football now right?

  5. Those calling for a squad of experienced top flight pro’s were clearly head down, arse up back in 2005 when an extremely experienced squad and manager embarrassed themselves thoroughly in finishing bottom. Let’s not call this season and lasts Saints finest hour, however, let’s remember the highs and lows of the past 14 years or so and not all start wetting ourselves. Great to see Saints fans turning on the club for chucking a few kids in and all, great job and please don’t feel the need to renew if we end up in the Championship. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. They get plenty of work life balance whether in the PL or League 2. It’s not a job, it’s a hobby and a bloody brilliant one, which gets paid extremely generously. I suggest if any of them are under any illusions about listening intently and respectfully to their manager and carrying out his wishes they f*ck off out of this football club in the next window. The pathetic application of this group is inexcusable and embarrassing given their top level experience/international caps as a collective in comparison to the other clubs around them. When you can’t sell out at home to Man Utd you know it’s time to ship a bunch of these over complacent fellas out at the first opportunity. The day I hear a footballer complaining about work life balance is the day I never set foot in a stadium again [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Exactly this. The bleating on social media about yesterday’s Austin goal/stupid interview bo**ocks has distracted from the fact the club has now won 5 league games in last 43 attempts under multiple managers. Draw was fair result, both teams had a shocker ref decision and Saints continue with a run that is simply pathetic. Club need to tone down the training pics and patronising We March On nonsense. Get it off the hoardings, get the players off social media and train regularly enough to look like a remotely fit side ready for the PL. Pics of training are no good when we wilt in last 20 mins of games every single week. Fewer pictures for Twitter and more laps of the pitch wouldn’t go a miss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Can’t disagree with this. The problem is that, given the cost of the squad and quality of players (international caps, top level experience etc) we are in real terms comfortably finishing bottom 2..again. Argument in real terms we finished bottom last season. Fans can barely bring themselves to boo the team off. Apathy from players in for a PL pay day. A far cry from Kelvin, Lambert at al or Benali, Claus etc before them. Guys who loved the club and were proud. Happily f*ck off this entire squad including muppets out on loan and let the under 18’s crack on in the National League South. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. The same ****e fans who’ve watched 1 PL win in 16 at home seeing barely any goals in the process? Yes-the route of all our troubles must be the fans. The PL has made football such that we no longer watch some cloggers graft away and deserve being clapped off the pitch regardless of result. The players are mercenary to**ers showing no urgency or fight. I will therefore reserve the right to come and go as I please having been done for about £700. Why should I stay right to the end like some subservient muppet when I’ve watched our esteemed left back bother to overlap once in 90 minutes at home to a side bottom of the league? Happy to admit you’re an uber fan compared to me though.
  10. Agree with this. The mentality of the squad, body language, togetherness just lacking completely. We have some guys with undoubted quality (I’m thinking Cedric, Bertrand, Lemina, Hoj) who just seem simply apathetic to be circa 10 points behind the likes of Wolves, Bournemouth and Watford after 9 games of the season. Hughes is blowing smoke up them this evening like they’ve just won the Champions League. They won’t get relegated but a complacent squad without much bottle managed by an unlikable dinosaur is just a boring place to be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. What a joke some of these responses are. Most of the stadium have a season ticket, recognise that football isn’t their entire life and support Saints through thick and thin, owners, players, managers both good and bad. Now these supporters are prawn sandwich eating Premier League sell outs according to some of the resident ‘lads’. Why would anyone think a few Premier League relegation battles calls protests? I must be one of those happy clapper blokes I guess. People have short memories. Also, how is it possibly the fans fault we’re owned by a Chinaman without a pot to pi** in?!

  12. I don’t believe we should write Carrillo off and based on his record, he could certainly do a job in the Prem. His league record is 191 games (7 of which for Saints), 43 goals. The 7 games Saints would be an unfair assessment IMO based on the fact MP had less than no idea what he was doing and the senior pro’s at the club spent the season embarrassing themselves rather than showing any effort to help the younger guys, especially new additions. Hope he gets a fresh go at it next season myself.
  13. The club didn’t listen to 30,000 people before Christmas telling them MP wasn’t the man for the job. Bin off the corporate Americanised platitudes and just show me some decent football at St Mary’s so I can look forward to games. I don’t even care what division (turns out it’s PL so probably more turgid s*it). Buy some half decent attack minded players and just go at teams instead of asking fans what picture they want on their stupid clapper thingy. Ok, moan over. I’m actually not that grumpy away from football. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Exactly this. The right amount of time was played, the deflection was unfair on one of our only creditable performances of the entire season. Win at Swans to be safe. Onwards and hopefully upwards. For you Saints who are not millennials, let’s not pretend you’ve not seen it all before!
  15. Are Championship clubs really charging over £30 for away fans? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
