I just don't accept or even understand that logic, they should be up for every game, developing a professsional, winning, ruthless mentality.
Dispatching minnows like Exeter should be mere practice for the bigger fish to come.
Not good enough, all things considered.
The time for feeling lucky we still exist is over and questions need to be asked when we cannot beat Exeter after such investment.
Losing leads to Milwall, Brentford and now Exeter has sunk our season in the league.
Am I plastic? Do I deserve a Wembley ticket for the JPt and FA Cup finals? I'm seriously worried that I'm morally bankrupt as a Saints fan.
Only supported Saints since age 9 in 76 been to loads of matches at Dell and but a lot fewer at St Mary's due to distance (Norfolk)/work (v busy dr)/family commitments etc.
I now go to more away games than home, because a) often nearer and b) prefer the sense of adventure and excitement and passion associated with being part of the travelling Saints army.
But..no season ticket..must be plastic?
Oh yes lets be jolly polite to that spiffing chap Mr Keane, what a good sportsman and gentleman he is. A ripple of polite applause perhaps? Not too much though - the noise might frighten some of our very mature and oh-so-balanced and sanctimonious spectators.
Ha Ha - if the yoof did see Millwall outside they would "never make the station".
I remember as an 11 year old watching Saints v Millwall at the Dell in 78 - the away fans in part of the Milton, next to the Milton Road quoir separated by only a single, thin line of policemen. Unbelievable these days. We were in the Archers. Inevitable fighting in Milton end all match, far better entertainment that what passed as football on the pitch....
In managment he's hardly succeded - and quits as soon as the going gets tough. He's just a narcissitic psychopath. His attitude stinks; there are plenty of ways of winning and having a never-say-die mentality but still retaining honour and dignity and respect. He has none.
Contrast Keane and Rooney - the latter is developing real tenacity, passion and winning mentality and leadership skills on the field to supplement his technical skill and yet still has the human qualities that Keane lacks.
