Something to do with a pro-Nazi rant...

Arguing about a flare being class or rubbish is a bit lame tbh.

Why is this "obvious"? My guess is loaning/buying players is like buying a car, until you've run it in you don't know whether it is right for you (no matter how good it was in the advert/showroom or testdrive.

Nothing is certain except the fact we won't finish 17th. For me West Ham playing on Monday is all upside for them. If we win, then they concentrate on the playoffs, if we lose, game on.

circa 1982 I spent £5 I was given for Christmas on 50 packs of stickers (a waste maybe but at 8 years old I couldn't reach the jazz mags.....) I did get the Derby Country badge which was always one of the better shiny ones.

Should Brighton be investigated for Saturdays game ?
Alain Perrin replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Saints
If you want conspiracy it ain't here and to other fans it will (and should) look like straw clutching. However.... I am surprised that more hasn't been made of the West Ham / Reading loans of Mullins and Henderson. Especially given the 'significant' fees involved keep Pompey in the game and points on the board for our rivals. But, at the end of the day, it is nothing illegal - and Mullins has played a part - but I am certain for them it was a happy by-product of their signings. I do think the emergency loans window is a bit of a joke though (not that we haven't benefited in the past from it) - there's less emergency, more convenience. -
Get a grip. It was a balls up. Get over it. Kelvin has saved us many more points than he has lost us this season. Accept the fact we got done by a team who took their chances and move on. Blame won't get us three points. Unless you want Bart in goal for the next match?

I am seriously regretting my Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain full back tattoo....

I've considered this carefully and ranked it with other issues that are bothering me: 1) Escalation of hostilities in North Korea 2) The state of the world economy 3) What I am having for dinner ... Everything else 1905636839210) This.

More to the point, what defines a donkey derby?

Tsssk. Football is a game of opinions but, having said that, mine is the only valid one. Guly is a great player who isn't in great form at the moment. He isn't helped by looking laidback, but he also isn't helped by people getting on his back. Personally if Nigel picks him that is good enough for me. If you look at some of the players that some Saints fans have taken to and others they have turned on, I know who'd I trust. Remember when Kelvin Was the worst player to ever pull on a Saints shirts? Or when that over-rated right back (Polish, longhair, tatts - jesus) was celebrated. Guly was great in the early part of the season. Form is temporary, ability is permanent.

I think this is easy to achieve. All the club need to do is fence off an area at a door in each concourse. This could be paid for by offering smokers season tickets at say a +£50 per season surcharge. This way the sad ******s who can't live for 105minutes without a cigarette can find yet another way to waste their money.

Lock this thread - what are you trying to do man?

I will donate this years shirt, or the anniversary shirt. Surely we could get 11 of them. -
Bart isn't as good as Kelvin as has been proven by multiple appearances, not just his one league game this year. Experience makes a big difference to a GK and maybe Bart will mature - granted he needs game time to get that. Every goalkeeper makes (usually very obvious) rickets but if you look at the number of points KD has saved us this year (Leeds alone is a great example) I'd have him over most keepers in the bottom half of the premiership. The one thing that worries me (across the defence as a whole) is overplaying the ball through unnecessary short passes. Many a time we get caught when we 'fanny around' in defence and that kind of thing will be punished at a higher level (if we get there / usual caveats apply). That's not to say it isn't sometimes the right play, just that at times a sensible hoof might be a better option.
-
To be honest I am surprised that more clubs don't seek to have affordable tickets in order to fill the grounds. Compared to TV revenue, it's getting less significant. If Saints sold out every seat for every PL game, that's 'only' c.£10m (based on an average price of £17). Mind you, with player wages being what they are, it's not surprising that every penny counts.
-
I am fairly sure that under David Luker we never had posts along the lines of: "I've been to every away game since the crucifiction, why can't I get a ticket for Man Utd at SMS delivered to me by carrier pigeon?"

I followed Dalek's advice and piled on Saints to finish 17th......

Surely they'll worship it? They can't have seen fire before....

Millwall 2 Southampton 3 - Post Match Reaction
Alain Perrin replied to St Chalet's topic in The Saints
Solent are amateurs. Rule 1: Turn your phone off. Rule 2: If you have to walk round three sides of the ground to get to the press box, why not turn round and just go the other way? Rule 3: Play the right interview?
