Saint Shady

I don’t get what’s wrong with that video whatsoever. He just seems like a normal guy to me. Always comes across well in after match interviews too. The fact he is often the player in the pictures promoting the next game or wearing the new kit (probably the most used player on the official site) he is obviously highly regarded by the club. I think he’s quality and only let down by his annual injury. Also anybody saying we should get rid is talking s**t. He’s worth keeping even if he does only play 3/4 of a season. Not like we have anyone better.

I can always handle watching Saints at St Mary’s or on TV fairly well. The real anxiety and heart palpitations only really come from listening to them play through radio. Well that game nearly finished me off! I would’ve been more than happy to win that one nil but f*ck me I wouldn’t be buzzing like this if we had. I haven’t lost my sh*t like that over an England game ( or probably any game ) since Rickie mugged off the Scots. Really well deserved. Columbia were a disgrace really and will only be remembered as cheating b*stards that got what they deserved. England to knock out Russia and bring it home!

I’d be disappointed and surprised if he’s not our manager next year. The main reason stoke fans seem to dislike him is because of his signings. As our managers supposedly don’t have as much influence on them here it shouldn’t be as much of a problem. Plus he should learn from his mistakes as it would do his reputation no good to mess up transfers in that way again. I think he’ll be with us for a few years and for once we might be settled in the manager department.

Thanks for these write ups. When saints lose and I haven’t seen the game I can never bring myself to watch highlights or read match reviews. But I always enjoy yours no matter how crap we’ve been. So nice one for that.

I know it’s the obvious one as it’s the most recent but keeping Pellegrino for anywhere near as long as we did has to be the worst thing we’ve done I can think of in my time as a saint. Just about everyone knew very early on he was useless and was never getting any better. Made worse by the player turnover scheme that wasn’t going to work out forever.

A brilliant video to sum up an amazing time for us. Seems like it was much longer ago than it really was.

After the last couple of days thinking about this I’d gotten quite keen on the idea of Mark Hughes taking over. Now it’s official I’m actually pretty happy about it. Whatever people think he’s a huge upgrade and I think he’ll save us and go on to manage us next year too. Good luck to him and let’s hope we can look back on these two years as a minor blip.
