Jumped ship at the first opportunity to a team that are effectively only one place higher than us (I'm taking Man U out of the equation as they will improve) we are better off without people who don't want to be here. It's pretty galling that it's Spurs that are pillaging us again, I'll be furious if any of our players end up there with him. Can't wait to play spurs now. Hope we smash them and MoPo is out on his ear within a year when he fails to live up to Spurs' ludicrous expectations...a club who think they are way above that they actually are. They won't get close to CL qual next year as there are too many sides that are simply much better than them and hence Poch will get the AVB treatment before too long.

MoPo is about to drink from the poisoned chalice and I hope he chokes on it. Will be sacked by January I reckon.

At least Shaw still cares.... Concerning that this has nothing to do with MP's future. Who made this decision then and why? New board better have good reason but I'm now increasingly worried about the state of play at SFC .

It's really not. Have you been watching some of the premier league teams this year?!

A lot of negative comments posted by a lot of posters who have absolutely no idea who Veho are and what they represent...typical of Saintsweb these days...

As I said, don't claim to know anything about American football at all, I wasn't suggesting you were wrong I just wanted you to elaborate. I have now been illuminated. Many thanks for the sarcasm.

Please elaborate as to why the comparison is laughable. I don't claim to know much about it but you clearly seem to. If you're going to knock down other poster's views then at least bother to give reasons.

Slowly backtracking from your statement that "only a few clubs don't rely on it" then?

So do you agree that if this is a standard business model amongst Premier League clubs then this is not something that we as Saints fans should be particularly concerned about? I wonder if villa or Everton forums have threads agonising over the instability of the financial model adopted by premier league clubs? I think not. You're scaremongering as usual.

So all clubs have a fragile business model then? If it's standard practice and all clubs do it then we are as much as risk as them. Your post makes it out as something of special concern for Saints.

Who said we relied on it? It certainly helps though.

Lots of statuses about Gazza on the Saints FB page, he must be playing which means this game will be harder than we think because if they have a shot on goal then we'll concede....a truly terrible keeper.

Haven't seen any mention of that anywhere - please elaborate.

Yaya is a *****. So petulant.

Oh I really hope not...

Gazza is shocking

He's as good as Forecast, i.e lets in every shot on target.

Gazza not good enough. He's possibly the worst keeper in Saints history. Just dreadful. But we knew that. How he is employed as a professional is literally beyond me. I'd be just as good (I.e I'd let in every shot that hit the target). How bad must Cropper be?....Jesus the mind boggles...

He's awful. Embarrassing that a top 10 premier league club has him as back up. Every shot on target will be in the net.

Gazza in goal therefore we have lost. Only chance we have is if they don't have a shot on target. One of the things I am most looking forward to about the close season is replacing the worst keeper in the league as our no.2. Serious question, would Morgan in goal actually be worse? I don't think so.

Because it's a multi-format game...don't let facts get in your way Pap.

Hi all, I'm moving out to Hong Kong tomorrow for 6 months with work. I would be keen to meet to watch games/talk Saints over a few beers.

Ridiculously patronising article. I On the same note for one hope that our club is never managed or run in the same way as theirs. Their fans are some of the most arrogant/genuinely spiteful in the Prem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This thread is a shining example of why Alpine still posts on here. He posts some absolute rubbish and then gets two pages of posts calling him a troll. If people didn't react he'd just stop posting. As for his original post it is, as others have said, quite frankly ridiculous. We aren't fighting for our lives, we are on course for our best ever finish and have a team that is playing some of the most exciting stuff I've ever seen when watching Saints. Add to that the number of youngsters we have coming through and I think you have to say that this season could prove one of our most significant. Oh and Alps, yes there are two sides to every argument, but don't be surprised that people disagree with you when things you say are inaccurate. Nobody could cogently argue that sitting with 39 points in the top half of the table is 'fighting to keep our head above water in the PL'. Nobody knows what will happen in the future, but your post is written in the present and we are not fighting for survival at the moment. I don't know what will happen next season but neither do you and I personally feel more positive than negative.

So we sacrificed the cup for that shambles? Thanks MP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
