SW11_Saint

🤮

Brilliant. What a legend. And what a player. My first Saints😍!

Best squad pic ever. Likely our best squad ever too.

Would love us to sign Sargent.

I don’t have his looks or money, but have certainly been called worse! BTW I wrote an article for the programme (published in 2 parts) on that match, actually inspired by that photo (which originally appeared on the club website).

Renewed today. I mean, what else am I going to do on a Saturday (Sunday/Tuesday)…?!

You have no idea how funny that is… (assuming you are taking about who I think). That is me! 🤣

What was the story behind the black eye?! (and well done whoever gave him it!).

A moment…

It’s lot better than the reported real one…

Watching that ‘High Performance’ Pod, it was bugging me who Will’s demeanour reminded me of… especially the “They called and offered me the job. I said, “What?”…” parts (there were several). Then it came to me… (Comedian James Acaster for those who don’t know him…).

Classic👌. That with simple stripes, or even just a red sash would be superb.

Agree - Onuachu isn’t better than Stewart. In the last few games I think we’ve seen there is a player there in Stewart. He can do a job in the Championship, no doubt, but fitness will be the key. So though I do agree we can’t put all of our eggs in one basket, and need reinforcements, I’d like to see RS stay.

Lots of running, zero end product. He looked interested (as he does in season finales… “buy me”), but that’s about it.

Of the three going up they have the best chance of staying up I’d say, but it’ll take big investment and a lot of fight. 17th s/b the sole aim of all promoted teams these days. Sad really.

I mean obviously next season I’ll want to win as many games as possible and it’s human nature that I’ll want us to go up. My point - as others have pointed out - if this year has taught us anything it’s that you have to be fully prepared for the step up, and we were anything but. I just don’t want to go through that again. Leeds stayed down for two years… and I bet they enjoyed their season a lot more than us! I take your point though - it can go the other way and you end up like Stoke or someone. Let’s just hope they get the managerial and other appointments right - and then start reshaping the squad. One step at a time…

Why is it being a ‘drama Queen’ to suggest we might not bounce back at the first time of asking? To be honest, I’d rather have two seasons in the Championship to complete the much needed ‘reset’ and go up better equipped than we did this year. As for Leicester and Ipswich being almost as bad as us - they are 13 and 10 points respectively above us. That’s a pretty significant improvement on our return, albeit with the same end result.

Maybe we should do something like this for Rusk on Sunday? Or perhaps incorporate Martin & Juric too?

My Bolton mate - who I went with - still hasn’t got over that game.🤣

Let’s make it a hat-trick - according to TSP he won it for Bournemouth & Sheff Utd in their relegation seasons.

Hard to argue with anything here…

And regularly turns up to watch them…

Actually better than I thought it would be - probably down to the 2.5k Burnley fans. £10 adults and ‘kids for a quid’ would likely have seen a full house, and with it, all of the extra revenue from F&B sales. But that’s too obvious of course… I happened to be ill today but was going to stay away anyway - my own little protest at the pricing. Plus I’ve seen enough shite football/defeats this season already. Let’s hope they at least learn a lesson from this (though clearly didn’t post-Swansea) and start to consider the long-suffering fans a little more…

Let me guess, you still think Liz Truss would have turned things around too?

It’s starting to sound horribly familiar isn’t it?
