The Kraken

What? You only want 100% pure facts posted on here? Is that truly what you hope for? No rumours or supposition, ever?

It's funnier that the usual groundhog day pics, I suppose. Only slightly, but a slight step up is good.

You can prove it isn't, can you Straw Man?

If its true, if, I hope we finish 9th,

I'm not at all, I'm just genuinely confused why you've spent so much time contradicting other people's opinions and telling them they have no right to hold that point of view without hosting a surefire belief of your own. Most of what you've done today is snipe about other people. It's a bit odd, which is why I noticed it in the first place.

It's amazing how some get so upset about other people's opinions. Dry your eyes.

Ha ha, a week has changed to 8 days now, has it? Thicko.

The poor lad (I assume it's a he) is having a poor day. He's angry about other people being angry. Never a good place to be.

Pretty much this. Always_SFC has had a b1tch fest of a day.

The only person crying seems to be you, getting all angry about how people bring up that this was a massively wasted opportunity. Dry your eyes, petal. There's a bigger picture out there than your rose tinted display.

If that's anywhere near true, it's an absolute disgrace.

Tick.

The big cheque for 8th place is clearly a significant inducement. To some.

Sadly, this.

How is your view from the game, superfan?

Of course it should. The performance has also been a shocker but it stems from the same thing; we clearly haven't prioritised this competition. Saints; the team that just existed. Sometimes I genuinely think the blue few have got a point. We've barely won anything of note in our history, and we seem content for that to continue.

That's probably the best thing I've ever seen you post, to be fair. Self deprecation (I count myself in the same bracket, just to be clear.)

What is there to be pragmatic about? You seem to hold yourself in such high regard, but what are you actually being pragmatic about?

What a complete pile of sh*te. We're treating the cup with disdain. So are Sunderland. Nothing more, nothing less.

Have it your way Baz. If you need the happy clappy bulsh*t you so often decry then, here we go. "Saints have got amazing away support and always have had". You carry on believing it, son. We got good numbers away at a lot of games. We got terrible numbers at too many games as well, midweek and weekend, it was a fairly regular occurrence. If you could show where you admitted we got 500 or less at game though, that would be great. Ta.

Did he? I'm just answering your statement where you refuted that we took 500 to away games. We did. We took more than that to plenty of games. We took around that, and less to some games. I know, because I was there. I'm not sure what your problem with admitting that is. We really had pitiful numbers for some away games in the past.

You really need to read your own posts to see what you've said. Here you go. It was just a few posts up the page. "but for him to say we only took 500 odd away at games in those times is absolute horse****."

No Barry, you're saying that Saints never took around 500 to some away games. Utter nonsense to suggest we didn't do that.

Ha ha, are you actually denying this still?!?! Incredible. There was a reason the "257 to Bolton" myth permeated out of Portsmyth, we had a poor away following for games for many years at the smaller clubs north of Birmingham. Trying to deny that fact is a bit weird.

To answer your question Baz; I was going to away games before your 1992 glory days.
