Golac's Cunning Stunts

No, relegation wouldn't be that bad. We all survived last time and there were elements of playing in lower leagues that were more enjoyable than playing in the prem.

I'd trade you those 20 years if I could! But as I can't, I'll console myself with having seen that team and those players week in week out. And, in their respective positions, I would take any one of them over the current bunch (maybe might make an exception for Rickie)

Why?

And look at Jos who had a torrid time in the early games but is doing a lot better since his return to the team

That's 2 games and 1 point.

Makes you wonder why we spent money on him in all honesty. There were probably better positions to spend it on. Hope he proves me wrong.

Not so fast... have you passed the badgers of Exmoor citizenship test yet? 1. What is the name of the king of the badgers of Exmoor? (etc etc)

Calm down. all I said was we are not as big a club as Everton!

But Il Duce says we will be bigger than all these clubs. And Vegard Foren has backed this up. And MLG says it must be true as logic dictates we are bigger than Everton even though we get lower average crowds than them. Plus, we are building a Champions League class training ground.

They will remain similar. Nothing you say about Chelski alters my opinion on that. They may go up by 5 or so thousand, but will immediately drop once our players are bought by the likes of Man U and Arsenal and we fall down the league again.

Don't worry about that - Chelsea did it ffs.

What you say doesn't hold any logic. If you think we will see gates rise by 20k because we are in the top 6 then you are as fooled by il duce as forren is. Yes, there may be a few thousand more who would turn up, but they will disappear again as soon as the results turn against us. You can't manufacture a 50k crowd overnight - it took Man U, Liverpool etc decades of achievement, history and not to mention much larger catchment areas to do this

Pretty much, yes. Why wouldn't it?

You misunderstood - just over 30k would be our attendance even if we achieved il duce's dream. Why on Earth do you think it would be more?

You been hanging out with MLG recently Bearsy? Been studying all those statistics for FM together?

Just over 30k

To me it doesn't really matter what il duce proclaims from his balcony. The harsh reality is that this is utterly unrealistic. As another poster has already said, if we have any player of a top 4 standard there will be nothing we can do to stop them moving on. Let's concentrate on not getting relegated before we start all this silly talk again.

Why are you asking me? I just answered your questions as to what Il Duce said to our new star centre back.

Yes, he told him that Saints will be a top four club within three years.

I wonder how he can possibly have got that idea. Highly unrealistic. Let's hope he plays better than he thinks.

Why? What's wrong with his argument?

Wow, high praise indeed. I'd say he's a long way from having the attacking ability of Steve Williams. Time will tell I guess.

When I was at university, there was only 1 type of intercourse I would have been interested in having with a girl at a party, regardless of whether I had met her before or not.

Oh what a short memory you have. An unbelievable comment.

Yeah, kinda like Wupert in that respect. That went well I seem to remember.
