Aha ... but getting the best out ofthe players already at the club didn't involve brown paper envelopes at motorway service stations Joe is spot on about Redkraps attitude when he arrived. Gave no praise to the players, only slagged them off, and then brought in a bunch of dross (with the exception of Camara). I remember Bryan Robson arrived at WBA about the same time and they were already dead and buried it seemed, but he went out of his way to praise his players and built up their confidence and survived the drop at our expense. There is no way we should have gone down with the players we had, but I'm sure Shearer is probably thinking the same thing at Newcastle right now

And what about Neatly Trimmed and Slipped Halo .... a lovely pair I'm sure ;-) Shared many a drunken innuendo filled fred over a bottle of wine or some cans of Old Speckled Hen with them late into the night :smt030 :drinkers: :partyman: :smt048

And 46 games to make up the difference, we will walk this league LOLAGE In a way it is a relief to go into next week without the pain and anguish of going thru the roller coaster of emotions not only worrying about our game but 2 others maybe . Kudos to anybody who goes up to Forest next week, have a fun day and hope for a similar result to the Everton away 3-0 win back in the 70's when we got relegated from Div 1. LOl at Dave Armstrong having a dig at the stewards Here's to hoping we have a club next season

As it stands -17 to Forest and -20 for us, but as you say every goal we score goes against theirs so a win by would be enough to go above them, but still need Norwich and or Barnsley to go tits up as well Who would have thought starting next season on zero points in L1 would be a cause for celebration :cool: Game sounds as niggly as 1st half, be a surprise if both teams finish with 11 players ... hope our lot can keep their composure, a win is imperative today. COYRs

The commentator is driving me mad. You just don't know which team has got the ball. .. chance for a shot, he shoots and its cleared ... FFS who what where and when please :cool: Can't even blame the beer, only on the 2nd Old Speckled Hen of the day ;-) COYRs

Or ex directors. ;-) I think I have stumbled on Lowes Master Plan for the boardroom : Relegation so that we could end up playing Crewe next year and be in with a shout of another piccy of a train or two But with Crewe looking like possible relegation candidates themselves, Ol Rosy Cheeks realising this might make relegation a bit of a waste of time, opted for Plan B (which credit where it is due, is more than most of his managers ever had ) which was go into receivership, get the club booted out of the league and into a money spinning local derby with Eastleigh and another train piccy. Job Done :cool:

I swallowed 20 viagra pills today and my c*ck has been like a flag pole all day. I reckon all the males attending the game on Saturday should do the same and then they really could sing "we are staying up" with utter conviction.

Is this a sponsored muff dive in aid of SFC

A Coventry win would just be a stay of execution for us, delaying the inevitable. Having seen the last 30 mins of last nights game Burnley will murder us on Saturday. They easily soaked up Sheff Utds aerial bombardment, were fast and exciting on the break and their wingers actually got to the by line and put in some wicked crosses to Paterson (?) who looked pretty handy and Blake will always be a threat with his shooting and our tendency to back off and concede spectacular 30 yarders. Burnley know that a win against us will put them 3 games away from The Prem. Expect them to come out all guns blazing and try and repeat the first 10 mins of the game at Turd Moor ... 0-3 :cool: Whats that line from Clock Watching .... Failure I can cope with, it's the faint hope of success that I can't (or something similar) Of course I'll be screaming for a Cov win tonight, it must be the sado -masochist in me

If only any of our current squad of players/ management shared MLT's passion and emotions for the club, we certainly wouldn't be where we are now that's for sure

I beleive that Burley took it with him wrapped up in a brown paper bag (allegedly )

LOL .... have you been on The BullFrogs again Based on the happenings of the last few years, the nearest our club has come to professional is watching Bodie and Doyle on the team coach DVD as they travel to away games :cool: Although to be fair, as it is completely out of the club's hands there is just a chance that you may be right.

Not enough Wootage, Muffins and Weather reports on The MatchDay Thread on here f'sure. :smt119 Defo not the **** poor team selection, tactical nous or personal motivation by the manager or the lack of quality and personal belief of the players. They are also still trying to get over being called "Boysh" by JP to now being called "Boyce" by the Twotte. All very confusing for them I'm sure you'll agree. Ultimately though, I blame those feckin RED shorts. WTF are they about :cool:. Totally ghey. No wonder the Boyce don't do well in them. Might as well prance around in a pink ballerinas tu tu Also not having roy cheeks's pre match team talk is probably a major factor as well, it was probably better than twottes :smt086

Phew!!! Got past that difficult first minute without conceding Off out now (Mrs EofA's birthday :cool:) so expect things to improve dramatically. COYS

Firkin ell ... my computer went tits up 10 secs after we scored and I've only just managed to see that we held out ... unfortunately Sheff U and Watford let us down Prolongs the agony another week or so I guess. Why oh why did we lose against Charlton and not to mention the potentially catastrophic home defeat against Forest earlier this season :mad: Please pretty please can we stay up, we will promise to be better next season (if we are still in existence :cool:) I'm am a total wreck now having spent 20 mins trying to get my computer working again ... probably no different then to you guys listening to the last few dodgy minutes having to defend 3 corners 8-[

The Spitfire Bitter isn't working that well for me ... still sounds like 0-0 and Norwich are still winning. sounds like The Mule has had enough near misses and has been replaced by Saga ... please dear god forget that DMG scores an absolute beauty :smt119

Shouldn't they be concentrating on trying to beat Norwich, rather than having a tipple with Delia Come on Saints "Lets be avin ya" .. PS Why were we collecting buckets before KO ? Instead of a Bucket Collection we should have been collecting money or prospective millionaire buyers 8-[

They sound pretty well organised ... wonder if any of them fancy a game in defence for us on Monday :cool:

What is it with our managers? They all seem to have this theory that playing a left footed player on the right wing is the way to go .... well it isn't :cool: They always have to cut inside or cross the ball with their weaker foot which was shown time after time yesterday. I feel a bit sorry for Smith in being forsce to play on the wrong wing, and considering he is a failed Millwall reserve he didn't do too badly compared to some of our other donkeys. Not to mention the pressure on him to produce his 'world class' skills on a live game

Sylvia Kristal (?) the bird who played Emmanualle., Going Down, going down, going down ....

Good start so far. Went to a Ska Night at The Irish Village and danced/bopped around like a loon for a couple of hours and the after gig music was all from the same era, excellent A bit hungover and aching like f*ck this morning after all the prancing around, must remember I'm not a teenager anymore.:cool: A little bit of gardening cook a stir fry for Mrs EoA and then off to teh Pub to watch a famous victory :^o drink loads of beer, try and avoid Dubai Phil dragging me round the various dens of inequity in downtown Bur Dubai and stay away from the bullfrogs. :roll: Sat am will inevitably be a slow one Will probably be dragged down to one of The Malls maybe even the flicks. Sunday ... eat loads of chocolate Monday hopefully listen to The Saint and drink copious amounts of Old Speckled Hen and spend a few hours looking at the teletext league table and grin from ear to ear at us sitting 2 places above the relegation spots :smt082 (Whilst constantly trying to block out the 10 point sword of damocles hovering above.

It is virtually mandatory to smoke in pubs here ... we are still in the dark ages on that one. Also getting to sit/stand in the right place is essential so that if (when) the game is crap you can letch at all the Russian Hookers as they go up the stairs to the Nightclub on the floor above. Unfortunately it will be too early in the day for that kind of distraction today, so we'll have to make do with the footie Hopefully today is the day we start to improve on our Live TV game record of Played (?) maybe turned up for would be better 6, win zilch, drawn zilch lost 6, scored 2 conceded 16 :( Remember today is Friday and good things always happen to Saints on Fridays :cool: In fact am I right in saying we are unbeaten on Fridays this season? COYRs

Hop on tonights BA flight to Dubai and join us in Goodfellas Bar in Dubai. Happy Hour and even a TV in the loo so that you don't miss anything What more could you want? (Besides a Saints victory live on TV) COYRs

Why do you think that? Did anyone complain about the other 3 that were sent overseas? In a way it is quite fitting to have The QE2 and a Concorde together as many of the cruises on offer over the years involved a Supersonic flight and cruise on The QE2. What is a crying shame is that they won't be sat together in Southampton whilst a 150 million quids* worth of art sit in storage hardly ever to be seen in public. * http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4269776.Saints_fans_call_for_council_to_sell_art_to_help_save_the_club/
