He must be feeling pretty pleased with himself at the moment.

I think Sports Republic want us to go down again so that we can finally win that all elusive League 1 championship we've never managed to win before.

Okay, I take it all back. You were right. I am eating my smiley face emoticon.

Bugger! He was the highlight of my weekends!

Call me crazy, but I'm beginning to think you're not a fan of our new manager, benjii.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the new Ted Bates statue looks kind of strange?

My vote goes to Colin Clarke. The first Saints player I remember getting for my 1986/87 Pannini sticker album. I thought he was great at the time.

Seems to be quite a bit of interest in Mister Ed...ozie

I apologise in advance for this. I saw on another thread trousers mentioned Chris de Burgh, and well... I'm sorry. It's a real stinker. And hopefully next season none of the following happens. To the "tune" of Chris de Burgh's Lady in Red, I present, Players in Red (and white)... I’ve never seen you playing so badly as you did tonight I’ve never seen you look so shite Collective groan I’ve never seen so many men being given chance after chance Scoring every time they advance This team’s in a trance And I have never seen that shirt you’re wearing be disgraced by such poor players we have signed Scouts must be blind Players in red (and white) Keep losing we see Week to week Even when we score We still concede three Can’t even beat Pompey But I truly know As I watch this poor side I’ll never forget the way you lost tonight

I think it was some time in 1991 or possibly 1992. My dad took me and my sister to The Obelisk pub in Woolston because he knew they had a trampoline outside in the pub beer garden. When we got to said establishment, we were unable to go on the trampoline because it was being used by a young Alan Shearer, Matt LeTissier, and Richard Hall. I was too scared to go over, but my dad and his friend did, and they were able to get all 3 of them to autograph a piece of paper which still hangs, framed, in my mum and dad's downstairs toilet.

Being able to get the grass cut whenever Saints were playing, instead of torturing myself watching them on TV (I now live in the US so can't get to games).

I'd like to see Wade Elliott given the job as I went to Barton Peveril College with him and I remember he used to wear some rather groovy trousers. I'd say that more than meets Sports Republic's criteria.

Arguably the 3rd best Ivan Saints have ever employed.

I love that there's a railway station, airport, and ferry terminal, so there are plenty of ways to get the hell out of there.

So now everything's okay again. Wonderful. Since he's been at Saints, Flynn has certainly experienced some ups and some.... what's the word I'm looking for? Troughs! Some ups and some troughs.
