Rasiak song reworked...
Na na na na na na na Schneiderlin, Morgan Schneiderlin.

When I was growing up I always liked West Ham but I am so glad that we got the automatic place ahead of them.
For the following reasons:
1) Porn dollars shouldn't buy promotion. They've spent so much money this season, whilst in so much debt.
2) Their insistence that Sharp dived when Taylor grabbed him round the throat - the laughable thread on their forum claiming the picture of a hand around his neck was Photoshop'd. And they're still going on about it now. Remind me about how the appeal went on that one guys?
3) Their feeling of entitlement (reminds me a bit of the 'we will walk this league' mentality on here when we went down).
4) The use of parachute payments as a means to spend your way back to the premiership rather than break the fall (not uniquely a West Ham approach though)
5) Sam Allardick. Loves himself.
6) The fact that they perpetrated the biggest fraud of recent years by staying up with illegal players and then just got fined thanks to Sir Trev and others in the FA (pile it on the debt boys, no worries).
So, in the words of Big Kev, "I will love it, love it, if they lose in the playoffs".

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

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

there wasn't. Obviously Reed arranged for his loan but Nigel and Crosby just weren't interested for whatever reason.
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.

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

So what defines a local derby then?
More to the point, what defines a donkey derby?

Guly
in The Saints
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.

Be interesting to see what they've got planned. Personally i'd like to see provision made for smokers even if it's just a certain part of the ground that let's people out for a smoke.
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.

Thing is Kelvin has made more cock-ups that have led to goals this season than Bart but Bart's are more noticeable because he's just had 1 first team league game.Who knows perhaps in the Bristol City home game Bart would have kept hold of the shot that Maynard turned in.You can't judge on just one game. Having said that I'm pretty certain that Bart has no future at SMS.
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......

Will they risk taking it through Skatesville ?
Unless some f^cker nicks it down there it will probably be by caravan procession.
Surely they'll worship it? They can't have seen fire before....

Now we are a premiership team could Ricky or Lallana get an England call-up?

Fair enough be pedantic, but everyone understood what BristolSaint meant so it's your own time your wasting.
Personally I am celebrating our recent promotion from the second division - and I don't give a flyigg fudge what you fink!.
