Agreed. It wasn't an escape as such, just a squad not being where they should be thanks to f**king poor leadership for 2 years. 98/99 for me was the "best" - we were properly sh*t and I think had 0 points for ages - that run at the end was ridiculous.

Is that different to now?

Whilst they've become glossy and irritating, I always used to buy them and have loads of historical ones I found on eBay. Not everyone's cup of tea I agree, but I used to enjoy flicking through after the match. I think I stopped buying when we moved to St Marys and wouldn't buy one now. It's a shame for kids though.

Yeah, I'm just jealous I think.

What is this sh*t? What the f**k is wrong with people now? I hate 'modern' football.

Seems like a top bloke who actually cares - we should keep him

If they still insist on w*nky awards this season (and they really should cancel them - CLUB: CANCEL THIS SH*T), then I'm still voting for Stuart Taylor.

No he didn't - EVERYONE knew who Mane, Alderweireld and Wanyama were. It was not hard to identify them as being potentially good enough to join this league and the Alderweireld joined because of Koeman.

This xG sh*t is a complete load of crap and one reason modern football is dreadful. xG. FFS. How many goals did you score and concede, that is what is important. F**king xG.

No it won't be, it'll be ideal; clear out players who don't give a f**k, clear out hanger on Premier League fans and start again. I'd rather watch us in the lower leagues again, the Premier League is utter w*nk.

Absolutely! I despised that 2005 team, but I am starting to hate this current lot MORE because they clearly have some talent but just don't apply it.

Actually that's a VERY good shout. A little bright spark that we should see more. #VoteforSims

This.

Exactly this.

Who needs England friendlies anyway.

Agreed and if that was the date & time, I'll just stay at home and watch.

Absolute breath of fresh air after the last two wittering on about nothing. I really hope it shows on the pitch, come on you Saints!

Yes, you probably are the only one who cares more about premier league status than the FA cup. I bet most people would rather win the FA cup than stay in this dreadful over-hyped league full of all the 'characters' like Pep, Klopp, Jose blah blah blah blah.

They're all c**ts. Les Reed - blinkered c**t Kruger - Clueless c**t Pellegrino - Poor yes man sap, out of his depth, fraudulent 'manager' c**t.

You horrific bellend.

This. It's such a tiny, inconsequential moment as a Saints fan.

How many 'syns' have they had?

4 companies ago And they've gone backwards, by a long way ...

I work with a lot of these tools ... 'oh yah, I never watch live TV yah, I don't even own a TV guffaw".

I always drink the rubbish bottles in the ground, either cider or wine. The "beer" is simply abysmal. Serve some decent stuff, get the ground a bit more f**ked up on it and get some atmosphere.
