  3. I do get somewhat ****ed off with this recurring argument. I have been supporting Saints for 60 years....I have been a continuous Season Ticket holder for over 40 years. Please don't tell me that I am not a supporter because I might leave some games a few minutes early (I left last night on 86).... I pay a lot of money for my seat and if I am not enjoying what I see, then I reserve the right to vote with my feet, rather than stay behind and take part in the booing that I heard last night....obviously from "real" supporters...

  4. But something that I have noticed, particularly this season, is that when player receives a pass while going forward, they instinctively turn and take the ball with their back to the opponents goal, meaning that they either have to pass the ball back or have to turn 180 degrees to start an attack....generally the back pass seems the preferred option. Perhaps some experienced coaches on here can say if this is standard practice or something specific to Saints training... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  5. Minor point but I seem to remember that Redmond was signed some time before Puel was appointed. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  6. To me, the biggest problem is the fact that we never replaced the goals that Mane and Pelle scored....not having a real goal threat has let down both Puel and MP. Charlie Austin is not the answer. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  7. Strange remark from MP in his interview about expecting help both on the field and off....
  8. I don't quite get this...someone who may or may not be ITK posts something on an internet forum which may or may not be true. I find it quite annoying when someone pretends to be something that they are not for whatever reason but I can't be bothered enough to rebuke or bait them because it just isn't worth wasting my time getting involved....and it drives any genuine ITKs away....I just accept their "information" and see if it's true....if it's not then big deal....

  9. Just about to write exactly the same thing.... :x
  10. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."
  11. I read this quickly and thought that you asked if someone could describe A goal.......now that is a good question...

  13. I am normally the last one to give in to knee-jerk reactions...I like to give people a real chance to build something...but sadly after yesterday I am coming the conclusion that relegation is a real possibility this year. The only thing that worries me is the natural imbalance in the squad. We can`t score goals. We are not shipping goals but it has been obvious for a good while that we don`t have the personnel to put the ball in the net on a regular basis. Any new manager would have to work with the same squad possibly with the same results....
  14. It`s Doritos!
  15. Not from some posters on here you don`t!
  16. The new Cat Stevens/Yusef album....surprisingly wonderful... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  17. For what it is worth I have been watching Saints for 60 years. I have had a ST for over 40 years...but....I fell out of love with football some years ago. I never watch it on tv unless Saints are involved. I have no interest in the Champions League. I haven't watched an England game for years. The whole thing is just too money orientated. I watch Saints and continue buying my ST because it has been a way of life for too many years. My favourite sports are Rugby and Speedway where generally people take part for the love of what they do.....not purely for the money and fame. They put their lives and health on the line for the sport..... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  18. Can I ask why this would be? What advantage would Reed and Black gain from trying to impose a system of play that is obviously not working? It's all very well coming up with conspiracy theories but you have to follow them through and explain what they have to gain.... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  19. I read in one of the papers this morning that MP expects VVD to still be here on Sept 1st. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  20. When you think of the stick that Pelle used to take on here....we could do with him now.... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  21. I am quite angry about the lack of recruitment in the attacking department. I may be simple minded but I don't get this "no 10" business. What we have been missing is a physical presence in the opposition's 18 yard box. We haven't had it since Pelle left. We had it with SRL and GP. There is no point dropping balls into the box when we have a strike force consisting of Munchkins. PL defences seem to be peopled with recruits from the Land of the Giants... If we have been able to see this, why can't the powers that be....? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  22. Must be just me then. Whilst I admit he was responsible for some "lazy" passing last night (then again who wasn't?) I also saw some very good close control and some excellent passes threaded through the Wolves defence. In fact when looking at this forum at half time last night one or two people had him down as one of our best players in the first half. I am not saying that he is the finished article but in my opinion he needs to be used properly and have a good run in the team. He is certainly not the liability that a lot make out.

  24. Just wondered who he was and why they are in Saints kit? Doesn't look like Staplewood... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
