Di Canio !

Was great for me until the 88th minute, missed the foul and the pen !!!! Grrrrrr.....

Punch not even in the squad ????

x 2

As ever Minty, the voice of reason, you should have been a vicar you know

Now that the Skates are out it would be nice to meet a big club like Bury, Cheltenham or Newport !!

Sublime, was in tears at that moment, unheard of for me !!

What about 'one man and his bell' ??

Pathetic if true !

There is an argument that says the trolls keep the site alive and entertaining (basically most threads would be pretty short without them!) but the counter argument is that it is almost impossible to have a serious discussion about issues within our football club ! For me, it all boils down to whether I have the inclination to separate the wheat from the chaff or not ! Occasionally there are surprises, ie. last week I almost thought that Alpine had turned the corner and become 'happy clappy', sadly it didn't last and he has reverted to his old negative self ! I do love Bearsy though, he is smarter than the average, no doubt, yo.... :)

About the same age as my son then, not to worry, he has his silly moments and most of the time thinks that I am a total prat ! C'est la vie... best advice on these type of websites is never to take things personally and always wear a hard hat when you stick your head out of the trench

Name and shame .....

Minty is the king of considered responses (that is a constant!) and maybe I have misjudged you, if so, I apologise, I just got the impression that you were a WUM like Barry, Glasgow, Alpine and Dalek etc, !! I asked your age, not to condemn you but to have some understanding of your background, nothing more, my assumption is that you are quite young therefore you misjudged the reaction to this thread which many perceived as provocative ! Anyway, welcome to SWF, I'm sure that you'll get to grips with the style, given time !!

You still haven't told me how old you are ??

So you feel that somebody should be blamed for the fact that we have not yet signed another striker with three and a half weeks of the transfer window left ?? Dare I ask how old you are ? BTW, I am 64 and could not be remotely considered as part of the 'Jeremy Kyle generation', but I do get a bit grumpy and do not suffer fools gladly (you might be right on that score, I concede) !!

Ok, I'll take you seriously : "Having considered this debate from both sides, do you still take the view that 'blame' needs to be apportioned for the lack of transfer activity in this close season so far" ?

This is more than likely true ! "How do you see our prospects in the next couple of seasons"? Having been asked the question by various media bods, they basically had 3 options for reply : 1) We'll be happy to stave off relegation ! 2) We'd be happy with a mid table position ! 3) We are aiming high and a European place is a possibility ! Clearly they answered no.3 Had they chosen nos.1 or 2 the fan reaction would have been savage, 'no ambition' etc, etc.. you can just imagine the usual suspects on here having a field day ! My opinion is that we are more likely to be mid-table rather than top 6 and I guess that most supporters would have a similar expectation level but the management team had little option to respond in the way that they did !

Did you seriously think that a thread with the title "Who is to blame for the transfer inactivity" would not incite the sort of reaction it has ? Many people do not buy into the 'blame culture' especially as in this case there is nothing to be blamed for ! I often wonder what the players, management and staff would think of all this tosh should they read it ? I imagine that they would consider whether all their efforts were in any way worthwhile ! If you really think that the backroom staff are sitting on their arses doing nothing (the inactivity of which you mention!) then you are sadly out of touch ! Why not take pride in the achievements of our team/club, get behind them and support the Saints as we move onwards and upwards ? COYS

Congratulations !

Barry Sanchez, Dalek 2003, Glasgow Saint, Alpine_Saint and Unbelievable Jeff ! Apologies if I've left anyone off the list but these are the ones who immediately spring to mind ! Logic dictates that I must be a 'happy clapper' as I genuinely believe that the club has done well in the last few years and is still heading in the right direction !

Cracking thread this, managed to bring out all the well known arseholes plus even a new one, unbelievable jeff

In principle I dislike all 'gloryhunters' therefore Man U top my list ! I simply cannot understand why people discard their local team and latch on to a bunch of arrogant 'superstars' just to be associated with so called 'success' ! Gets on my wick, that does !!

When my wife was expecting our firstborn (8 months gone) she insisted on coming with me to West Ham (we lived in London at that time!) as she was bored and didn't want to spend a Saturday afternoon alone ! We took our places in the away end but just before kick off she felt faint and had to be stretchered off to the medical room with me in tow behind her ! Was advised that she should go home and rest so we missed the match and had to get an expensive taxi back ! Oh, and we lost as well !! Never taken her since !

Can you substantiate this statement please ?
