CB Fry

Almost like they couldn't give two sh its about us.

Local business announces exclusive interviews with not one but two employees of said business. It's amazing how they have pulled this off.

Pretty much. 4 wins probably enough, 5 definitely. Draws sort themselves out.

Not difficult to forget that Steve Guppy played for us being that he never did.

Or not. Being knocked out of a couple of cups in one season does not, funnily enough, wipe out decades of history. They can go down and they'd still be bigger. Just like Leeds are still bigger than just about half of the Prem now, including us.

It won't matter if we raise it to twenty million. If the player wants to go to Liverpool then he'll go, esp if Liverpool have put in an acceptable bid, which it sounds like they have.

HE'S GOING TO...LIVERPOOL. Probably. ELEVEN MILLION SQUIDS.

Javi came over on a Spanish exchange and stayed with one of my mates from school back in the early nineties...who knew it would turn out so mental. I was on S4E as Idiotcountry, then a longer version of my current name and have been CB Fry for years now. Joined in the Strachan era, during the FA Cup season I think, and I have been consistently right about everything ever since. My main contribution is inventing the HCDAJFU acronym. I'm putting that fu cker on my gravestone, losers.

Fair play to the Candyman. Lets see if we get a mention in the morning.

You're not.

The only thing embarrassing here is your post. Greenslade is an experienced journalist of some standing, and former editor of a national paper. So clearly not "so called" anything. And the article is not "heavy handed", its written in a pretty dispassionate matter of fact way. The only thing I can see that is "ludicrous" is the unbelievable preciousness of people on here when anyone, anywhere dares to pass any comment on the club. Just pathetic. Seriously mate - how much "maximum inconvenience" have you ever encountered from a TV camera crew. Even if you are in a wheelchair I still suggest the answer is none at all, ever.

I'm happy to lead the action team for this, but only if I get to go on South Today and say how brilliant the detailing is on the shoes. I know just the person to do it too. He's never created a bronze sculpture in his life but he is a lifelong Saints fan. And did a cracking job on my tax return the other week.

Please tell me you're not an English teacher. If you are, please keep away from my children. Your moans are pointless archaic whining. Language evolves and English in particular evolves more quickly and more interestinglier than any other language. I'd stick to writing letters to the Daily Express about incorrect apostrophes or how you once heard a child say "candy" in the post office queue. Invariably, none of this aint got like nothing to do with Saints and that's no lay.

You're thinking of Tahar El Khalej. That's the next thread.

Train station is not slang unless you live in 1942. You sound like someone who needlessly gets upset by split infinitives.

Agreed. Bizarre the club would make such a big issue from something so small.

...doesn't that make the club look more petty? That's the story here, the sheer pointlessness of it.

Always seemed great in August and then again in May, with not much in between.

I hesitate to use such a phrase, but yes.

This entire thread sounds like implied criticism of Cortese. I'd like to know what you people criticising are going to do about this. Are you planning a march? A sit in protest? Hijack a Leibherr crane, paint it red and white and drive it to Berne? I'll take it as a given that you will never go to another game. Any criticism of the current board must be backed up with clear demonstrable action, preferably incorporating violence. Otherwise you are just moaners with no conviction. True Saints fans with conviction think everything Cortese has ever done is brilliant.

Absolutely this. You'd think that was fair enough but not for internet nutcases. Only today I was told how difficult it would be for me to support the club on the back of expressing some reservations about Cortese. There are people so boss eyed in their adoration of our CEO that they truly believe he is the club. Mental, but sadly true. Oh, and don't offer any critique or opposing view without expecting some forum bellend asking you to form a protest group, write a letter to the Leibherrs or take up arms against Cortese. Any reservation, any questioning, any query expressed means you simply must want to overthrow Cortese and chuck out the Leibherrs. Otherwise you are without conviction. Its either unquestioning love or sworn enemy. No middle ground for our mentalists.

What a cop out. Get behind pointless narrow argument FFS.

I don't think he would get the Villa job. The other two, yeah, no problem. Of all the Prem clubs, Wigan is by far the best fit, as he was there as a player. If they stay up (actually even if they go down) and Martinez finally decides to go (to, say, Villa) then he'd be an absolute shoo-in to go there. Dave would look after him.

From you, yes I do. I talked about finishing mid table as being my expectation, and am being told by you that your vision is for faster and quicker success and how you and Nicola want so much more tham me and my unambitious vision of doing about as well as West Brom or Stoke. "Having a go at Europe" next season might involve ending up finishing 11th or 12th, like WBA or Stoke. Is that good enough for you, because it would be great for me, and I'm a loser. Because if it good enough for you, it turns out that you are actually just full of "bluster" (to use your phrase) after all. Where does our "have a go" get us to next season in your fast, quicker success world? Just an afterthought: If I am honest the very phrase "have a go" is intrinsically lame. The kind of thing you hear on FA Cup third round day. Or from the likes of West Brom when discussing their European ambitions. It's fascinating you've used a phrase like this now when previously you have been so bullish about how fantastically successful Cortese's New Saints are going to be.
