IMO the way it has worked out has always been the best option (for us!) ie. 'death by a thousand cuts' and non stop hilarity ! I wouldn't have missed the last couple of years for all the fat in their pipes

More's the pity that the FL didn't have the balls to impose the deserved 10 point penalty which every other team in history had ! They would almost be dead by now if true justice had been served, the DFCSB's !

FT : Skates 0-1 York Ooh eck

I have been in the safe standing area in Dortmund and it was a great experience ! Personally I prefer being a 'Kingsland Codger' but if I were to stand I'd rather it was not like these days where you are up and down like a yoyo with some stroppy steward marching up and down the aisles telling you to sit !

The Milliband response was classic 'politics of envy', pure negativity and pathetic name calling ! He is supposed to analyse the statement and offer credible alternatives but instead prattled on about Eton chums and millionaires ! It really was as embarrassing as it was unstatesmanlike IMHO !

The whole FIFA organisation stinks ! The guy at the top should do the honourable thing and retire now !

I guess that would have to be the world's bestest imaginary celebration, yet another accolade to award themselves

As most have already said, he was a man of passion and conviction but realistically he never actually achieved anything because few people ever took him seriously ! Obviously the Tories mocked his views, but his own party often had issues with him as well ! Basically he was a loon who could be quite amusing but although I didn't agree with his politics I did respect him much more than the 'mealy mouthed hypocites' that Dubai_Phil referred to ! RIP TB

Having watched the interview with our new chairman, I reflected upon the introduction of his counterpart at 'Potless Pompey' (tieless, lounging backwards behind a crumpled tablecloth whilst boasting that he got his manager on the cheap!) and thought how nice it was to be a Saints fan ! An impressive start and I look forward with anticipation of an interesting future ! COYS

TBF, an Italian international striker for £2mil does not sound bad to me as long as he is not a nutcase who headbutts his team mates !! TB (equally) F, I've never heard of the geezer !

Can't believe that some are complaining about the way we won today, are these the same people who moan about us dominating matches but not being clinical ? Please everyone, just be happy, we won so celebrate !!

Seems that the revolutionary 'pack the park' concept has worked wonders yet again ! The plucky twelfth man helped them raise their game to achieve a glorious, goalless draw against the mighty Cheltenham !

great away win, on away form alone we are 6th in the table on same points as Liverpool and above Man City !

The phrase " be careful what you wish for " springs immediately to mind when I read threads like this one ! Only a prat like Glasgow_Skate would isolate 18 matches and attempt to justify his baseless agenda like this ! Best just to treat him with the contempt he deserves !

The way I've just read that, you have completely contradicted yourself !

Are we allowed to blame Clatto or was it purely down to the Lino ?

Wasn't referring to Trousers, intended for the poster that he referred to !

W^nker potential rating 10/10 !

He's such an arrogant git that I expect him to be prancing around, preening and sucking up to the Hammers faithful ! We'll get f*ck all in our favour out of him that's for sure !

Yaya Toure ?? I think they mean 'Yobbo Toerag'

Hope to meet you on the 19th one day

It wasn't really meant as a dig at you Phil, just a cheeky riposte Ps. I am a golfer as well, of the enthusiastic/pretty crap variety !

We are the least successful club in the country for our size, bar none ! We do not respect our fanbase in the cups, ever ! I have no idea why I have bought season tickets for the last 30 odd years, maybe I should start supporting the Skates like you Barry ! Hope this makes you feel a little better ! Great thread BTW !

Spot on ! (On both counts )

Sadly I haven't managed to read every post on this thread for two reasons : A) I'm sitting by the pool in 35*c in the Southern Hemisphere (Christ, I must sound like Dubai_Phil!) B) There has been too much jobby lobbing by several posters (ironically not the usual suspects!) Please consider the following : Poch made 5 changes = idiot ! Poyet made 9 changes = genius ! Follow this logic and we should sack Mauricio and install Gus ! Perhaps, just perhaps, his lot took their 1 good chance and we fluffed at least 3 ! It's a game of football for christ's sake and we've been knocked out in the past by the likes of Port Vale and Stockport so (although Saturday was disappointing) there is no need to question the owners attitude to fans or the manager's lack of respect for the competition ! TBF, I am a bit more relaxed as I'm far away from the sh!t weather etc but I retain my empathy and respect for all Saints fans and particularly FF who clearly has red/white striped blood in his veins although perhaps his view this time is a little OTT !
