Um, I know.

Laughable. Written by a man who put ten quid on West Ham to go down to prove someone on the internet wrong.

This is how he's going to do it, out of the blue, at the end of a successful season. Hello Jose.

At least now I can get back to the day job of laying into people who think we're going to finish tenth.

I remember you saying something very similar when, in hindsight, we didn't f uck up promotion to the Championship as you predicted. And you said much the same last season when, in hindsight, it turned out we didn't fu ck up promotion to the Premier League as you predicted. See you next season for yet more razor sharp foresight from you.

Have to say Wigan are flying at the moment.

Pretty sure Wigan are a relentless winning machine with more guts, heart and determination in their little fingers than Saints have got in the entire squad. Wigan will definitely, definitely, definitely win.

Yet more clear evidence of the media's anti-Saints agenda.

Errr...we're four points clear with a vastly superior goal difference of our" rivals". It also means we are currently staying up by our "own efforts". Doesn't stop this forum being chock full of utter bellends grizzling and whinging like we're bottom of the league and dribbling about Wigan like they are world football's most ruthless and efficicient winning machine. Its the doom merchants that are far, far more obsessed with "rivals" (BUT WIGAN WILL WIN EVERY GAME WIGAN WIN WIGAN WIN WIGAN WIN) than the rest of us.

Are you absolutely sure about that? Have a look at the league table now.

I do apologise. One goal in four. Three in five is clearly a Champions League scoring rate.

My parents taught me what respect actually means. Yours clearly didn't as you haven't the faintest idea.

Some of us had an once of foresight to realise that we wouldn't just carry on our little purple patch and cruise to tenth. Something you have just managed to comprehend. But yeah, it's other people that are "stupid f* cks". And no, its not you that is "dumb". Of course not.

Your rantings on this thread smack of the teenage shoplifter caught red-handed spending the next three hours raging about how he has been "disrespected".

Surely this is a lazy tabloid made up sh it stirring story full of holes and not worth the paper it's written on?

If there is one thing we have learnt from this forum this season it is the utter futile meaninglessness of the phrase "realistic target". As the above gibberish demonstrates it means nothing apart from vague notion that we might win every game from now on, we probably won't and anyway I never said we would finish there and anyway finishing lower is fine and I never said it wasn't but anyone who says that target is a wrong is a wrist slitter even though I don't actually think we can actually achieve that target even though we might or not or something. And anyway, how was I supposed to know we would ever lose again after we'd won that game the other week after all I am not some kind of fortune teller. All it was just a realistic target or something and how dare you mock it when I don't even know or think we can hit it. Or not.

Not sure if 35 defines me as an old bustard or not. You tell me!

We had plenty in the nineties/2000s in seasons under Ball/Dave Jones/Hoddle/Gray/Strachan/Sturrock.

How's that ten quid you put on West Ham being relegated getting on? For desperation to be "proved right" against someone on the internet you have never met, I think its you that you definitely deserve a big ******* medal.

We don't need to be "the messiahs of football" to stay up. We'll stay up and not be messiahs. How about that? And we will stay up, and you are wrong.

Well, they have been working very hard on the training ground.

Christ. Lets not ever catch you discussing anything ever that has happened in the history of football before ten to eight on 4th May then. All pointless. You can't change it.

You not "giving one" doesn't make a blind bit of difference either. Doesn't make the discussion pointless, though.

A thread wondering whether our change of manager has improved/not improved our form is a "pointless argument" on that clubs forum? Really? What wouldn't be a "pointless argument", pray tell?

I bet you do. Funnily enough MP was fortunate enough to inherit a team that had found its feet in the league and was getting great results and performing well. NA at the start of the Prem season had to do that leg work. Last 14/First 14 is far fairer as the team is more similar over those games. Lastly, one could easily argue, as Adkins influence diminishes over the weeks, the team is getting worse. We've scored one goal in five games.
