Only one way to find out! FIGHT!!

Also in The Mail from Jamie Redknapp:- SAINTS, BUT NO ANGELS There were 27,228 fans at Southampton, watching Charlton win 3-2. These are desperate times for a good club. Each of those fans would like the answer to this question: What has happened to the money from the sales of Theo Walcott, Kenwyne Jones and Gareth Bale?

Presumably none of them in English Language.

Total slimeball what a wonderful way to sum that slimey leech up.

FFS!!! Blame the fans again!!, This complete nonsense! If you think that the fans at SMS exert pressure, try St James Park, or Eastlands or Villa Park. Do you think that Lowe did anything because of fan-pressure. He was on a loser before he came back because his record post 2003. I am not going to list them because they have been done to death on here - just like the ridiculous "Blame the Fans For Everything" mantra.

Are you Eric Cantona??

I sit in the Kingsland on the halfway line and all I heard was applause for both Crouch and McMenemy. It certainly wasn`t drowned out by any singing from the Northam. Perhaps because they were all singing, they didn`t hear the reception that these two got.:confused:

Hmmmmm........

Like you I have been supporting the club for 50 years plus, but I have to disagree with you regarding fans expectations. We have always been a club that likes to be the underdog, that tweaks the noses of the big boys now and then. We like to go to games, enjoy our football and come away with a smile on our faces. As far as moving to the next level, this meant to go from being continual relegation fodder to becoming a regular mid-table team with the occaisional appearance in the UEFA Cup - not the next Chelsea or Man U. This was because the increasing injection of money into the PL made it vital that once you were there, you had to stay there or the worst would happen.

I totally agree with you here, but I didn`t find the Crouch/McMenemy thing before the game a problem. Surely they came out to give some form of rallying call after the events of last week as lovers of the Saints, not as points scoring excersises? The crowd re-action would indicate that the vast majority thought so. This is a time when all Saints supporters should pull together for the good of the club, and whilst I don`t particularly want Leon or Lawrie involved with any new regime, good on them for trying to "rally the troops" at a very important time in our clubs history.

Thanks for the support, but you have me mixed up with someone else. I have been a ST holder since 1975 and started going to the Dell in the mid 50`s:)

Do you not think that Lowe changing it in the first place was kind of petty?

Have, Morph, have!

But surely, to a degree, the TEAM is the least important part of the equation for any potential investors. Looking longer term anyone that comes in (with enough money) will change the team. The team changes from season to season. Players come and players go. We have the team that we have now because we didn`t have the money to buy a better one! An investor will look at the facilities, the infastructure and the size of the fanbase. He will know that a successful team will activate that fanbase and things will start rolling again.

Looks like there will be some left for the "walk-uppers".

Probably some "Elf an`Safety" numpties!

You are right, but TBF, I think that all of these "ideas" were born out of a desire to do something, however small, to help the ailing club. At least the ideas were positive and positivity is something that has been sadly lacking for a good while.

If there is any truth in this, then all the more reason to make this afternoon unforgettable!

I agree. I was trying to make the the point that even when the news is positive, someone will always find a negative.

Echo says 19 interested! But it is the Echo.

Yeah! The Bastards!!

Not sure if this has already been posted but Leon Crouch and Mike Richards have joined forces to appeal for donations from Corporate diners. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4266384.Richards_explains_why_he_has_joined_forces_with_Crouch/

Watched "Persepolis" last night. It is a cartoon film in black and white (mostly) and tells the story of a young girl growing up in Iran during the last days of the Shah and through the Islamic Revolution that followed. I know that it doesn`t sound "exciting" but it turned out to be a really good watch.

A very pertinent post.

Really????:smt103:smt103:smt103
