Will we be feeling (Un)Comfortably Numb On the Turning Away after the game?

Are Pink Floyd there??!!😲

We get this frustration virtually every Transfer Window....High Hopes followed swiftly by abject disappointment. You would genuinely think that with the situation that we are in and how we were apparently burned late on in the Summer window, that we would have had deals ready to trigger on 1st Jan...but no...this is Saints. I have been supporting Saints since the 50's and a ST holder since mid 70's and I am getting to the end of my tether with it all. I have been messed around by the club with being kicked out of the seats that we had since SMS opened, we are bottom of the league with no obvious urgency to be able to sort the squad out to remedy this........and in the current financial climate the entrance fee is not good value for money.....although I may change my mind after the light show tonight....but I have a feeling that it will be followed by another shite show. It would be better to pay somebody to stick pins in my eyes. I am seriously wondering if my days of attending SMS are numbered. Watching the odd game on TV in comfort from home is becoming more and more attractive. I can sit and wallow in the many, many happy memories from over 60 years of watching my beloved Saints, when it was run by people who actually cared about the club. Mind you, two or three exciting signings and a surge up the table and that will all probably change!!🤣

But Scottish Prem is no better than League One down here dontcha know??

Depends if they ha relegation clauses in their contracts I guess....

Mind elsewhere??

I think that the biggest frustration for me was the way that Brighton were playing out from the goalkeeper, tippy-tapping it between themselves whilst Saints players just chased shadows.....it was like toddlers trying to get the ball off grown men......and they weren't even that good at it!

Whilst I agree that threads like these are somewhat irrational, you have to be aware of recent history. The generally poor performances in the transfer market, coupled with/resulting in diabolical performances on the pitch (two 9 - 0's anyone?) have completely knocked the stuffing out of most Saints fans. Every time it seems that things may be looking up, we are rapidly bought down to Earth with a mighty bump. When SR took over it seemed like something positive was happening. The summer transfer window seemed to reinforce this feeling until the failure to rectify our biggest, most obvious failing...a lack of goals....took the shine off of it. I was a big supporter of RH, but he needed to go. Went he went, I fell a great deal of sadness as he came across as a great bloke who was dedicated to the club but had lost his way. My only consolation was that when a new manager was appointed, SR would appoint someone with higher league experience. That didn't happen, which was a shock and another disappointment. As someone else said "respect has to be earned", but sadly you....sorry....Nathan Jones has got very little time to earn that respect. At the moment it feels too much like....to quote The Who...."Meet the new boss....same as the old boss".....

They've had the shit beaten out of them by the dispiriting displays over that period....."it's the hope that kills.....".

There were a couple of middle-Eastern looking chaps in Goztepe tops in front of us in the Kingsland yesterday.....I bet they were very impressed

Funeral music?

When did the Forest game move?

No....I think Saints win that.....

2-2.....I retract my earlier statement.....

Ghana actually looking pretty good. Salisu's value increasing by the minute. Commentators continually bigging him up......

This is just like watching Saints for the last 12 months....

Bring Back Dave Merrington!!!!!

Dion Dublin has just said that we will be relegated.....that's that then.....

Not sure if I am the only one, but I saw a lot of RH in him during that presser.....sometimes it was almost like watching Ralph's younger Welsh brother....

Aha.....thank you. Glad that Selles is staying.

Has there been any announcement about the couching set up?

If it does come off I can see a lot of the knee-jerk anti-NJ posts/threads being regularly resurrected.....

Second article..."Shine on You Crazy Diamond" in headline....
