Saint Garrett

Because surely its better investing in the young fans before they start supporting Chelsea/Man U/Arsenal etc. Yes the club would probably lose money in the short term but surely then would have higher demand for tickets in 5 years time and would be able to charge more/invest in a bigger stadium.

That depends how you look at it though. Yes if you solely that this season then yes it's about right, but if you're looking at the fans of the future then let's say for all home games on sky, do kids for a quid and drop adult prices by a fiver. The club make their money from sky and we get a full house. Plus, you need to invest in the kids to expand fan base in the next 10 years. It all just seems to be a bit shortsighted from the club. Especially games like the cup, against in glamorous sides. It should be a 10er, kids for a quid or something. I don't even have kids or work in marketing but surely it's pretty straightforward? Get them hooked now and they're a Saint for the next 70 years!

If we start putting our defensive unit with some clinical forward play then we would be challenging for the title IMO. Can't see it happening anytime soon though...

Not my problem...I go...

On Sky isn't it....I know a few people who aren't STH and they've basically said any game on TV, they'll watch on TV and save money for the others. (Fair enough). Still pretty pathetic though. I expect we'll sell out the 2nd half of the season though. Not quite sure why but it has happened the last few seasons.

I think everyone knows that Barry Sanchez is a skate on a windup. There's having a negative opinion then just being a total twunt.

We're in pretty good company there!!

Cheapest away of the season? SWEEEEET! I've done WBA, Norwich and Man Utd as well so that's a result.

He said we were long ball merchants and just like Dagenham but with Lambert up front.

It is pathetic but it doesn't come as a shock!

It is very strange. Some come across like they want us to fail so they can say 'I told you so'

We're in a league of our own defensively. (Should get a few chances vs Fulham at the weekend) Attacking could be better though. Info from http://experimental361.com/

Ah yes that must be why we're in the top 6, how dare Cortese bring in such awful players.

Evans is a very decent ball playing CB, would be a great fit for us IMO. Wouldn't have many of their other players though - especially if you've got one eye on the future. Centre midfield ? No chance

Neville said we're up there with Bayern at the level of defending. With the back four and VW and Morgan. Said he was very surprised that no one came in for Morgan in the summer.

Tried to get this going quite a few times on Saturday - few people joined in but not a massive take up! Also tried the Osvaldo chant a few times and that one fell on deaf ears! Probably didn't help that he wasn't playing particularly well.

Boruc; Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw; JWP Wanyama Morgan Lallana; Lambert Osvaldo. COYS!!

Think we're overachieving position wise, but we know we're a good side. Think the bottom half is about right if you swap Hull and Swansea. Can't imagine the table bein much different come may, and Arsenal have been terrific and chuffed for them as they have to be admired abou how they've gone about things. Great seein man Utd struggle too.

Yep he was utter class yesterday. Him and Wanyama were excellent defensively. Morgan is just a level above and could play in any team in the world. Class act.

Yep, thought we bossed the midfield yesterday. Morgan was exceptional and defensive Wanyama was also superb. (Passing Wanyama wasn't!)

John,

Time to get this started this weekend at Man Utd. I'll happily start it.... OSVALDOOO, he's gunna score today, it's just a shot away

Good read that.

Any news THEVMAN ?
