BARCELONASAINT

Brilliant, thxs for posting that

Kelvin has been bloody fantastic!

how we are winning this i will never know!

Le Tiss only ever missed 1 pen during his career. Rickie has an excellent record and is up there with the best but Le Tiss is/was the best!

After the season we have had and the Premiership now being a real possibility would you be happy with a playoff place???.....Personally i dont want to go through that lottery and feel our best chance to go up is through one of the top two spots. Given this scenario then i think Saturday is a must win game because i hate to say it but you just know Warnock will have his Leeds side totally fired up by the time we face them......if we fail to win either of our next two games we will suddenly be under the most enormous pressure to get one of the top 2 places. C'mon you Saints, you can do this!

Anyone that knows me will know i dont post that often and when i do its because i have been told something by a reliable source or i have witnessed something for myself. I have it on very good authority that there was a recent dressing room bust up between Adkins and 2 players he was having a go at (Guly & De Ridder) Apparently the atmosphere at the moment is not very good. I am sure this happens every Saturday at every ground around the country and hopefully this is nothing to worry about......however it may explain a lot as well. I sincerely hope i am wrong about this and NO i cannot name the source for very obvious reasons.

I can't believe the amount of negative posters on here having a go at the team and especially our talisman Lambert. The whole team need a huge round of applause for going to a team that have the best form in the league at the moment and playing them of the park for large parts of the game in horrendous conditions. I believe we have turned the corner and are playing ourselves back into form.

If this wasnt a Sky Live game i really dont think this game would have started!

There is only one BARCA!

Ok hands up all of you that saw this coming...ummm no one , thought so. Well life is never boring being a Saints fan is it. This could be either a fantastic turn around or we will be no better off than we were Monday night. My two biggest concerns are that we are not able to get who we want in the transfer market for one reason or another and we have a treatment room that resembles an episode of casualty!

have to say i have tried to keep a balanced mind so far about tonights showing but i'm afraid it has to be said...we now look like a very ordinary mid table team and i can honestly see us dropping down the league table now....it was fun while it lasted:cry:

why do people make such assumptions. What did you think he was going to say? I want out and want to play for Saints? How many times have our fans listened to one of our own players interviews and said "well he would say that, the club still pay his wages!" I personally don't read anything into this statement at all.

It's funny how divided opinions are about Guly. I was firmly in the "he's crap" camp when he first came here. Now i firmly believe in the player and it is obvious NA believes firmly in him from his long run in the side. I watch his performances, his movement, his passes and he is a quality player without doubt in my mind....we are very lucky to have him on our books. I can remember a certain Le Tiss being slated by fans for being lazy and poor at the defensive part of his game but he had pure genius about him when it worked and scored goals that kept this club in the top tier of English football. Guly has the ability to be a class player for us. Those of you that slate him i urge you to give him a chance, his goals just might be the difference between Championship and Premiership football next season!

well written article and i fully hold my hands up to thinking he was one of the worst players i had ever seen wearing a Saints shirt the first time i saw him play......but my oh my the man has gone on to prove me very wrong. He has a footballing brain and thats why i think he sometimes looked poor...it wasnt him it was the rest of our English players that just didnt expect the simple layoffs, the delicate chips etc. Saints and everyone else is seeing the best of Guly because NA has got the team up there with the Brazilian. Someone mentioned a luxury player, a bit like our famous no.7.....Guly is best playing just off Lambert....didnt a certain Le Tiss often play just off the strikers....long may he continue there and Saints will reap the rewards!

LOL, thats my boy!

Talking of worst player injuries, take a read and look at this:- http://may-cause-offence.tumblr.com/post/11060994352/head-shoulders-knees-and-toes

I'm not going to take sides here as personally i think its a great shame that things have come to this and i dont believe one party is more right than the other. I will for my tuppence worth say this:- a fan that attends every home game year in year out is as much a contributing factor to the success of a club as any player or manager. Take away those thousands of fans that attend year in and year out and there would be no SFC......No player, manager or chairman is bigger than the club...The fans are the club and we dont ask for anything for supporting our club and digging deep into our pockets!!

There can be no doubt about it we are experiencing the worst recession i have seen and i saw thousands lose their homes in the 80's. Football is a luxury whatever way you look at it. Add too that it was a Sunday and the weather was awful possibly effecting the walk up. Overall i still thought the attendance was very good and i commend those that are forking out to support the team. There are many thousands i suspect who would love to go and show their support but some of the reasons above would have been good reason for not attending.

This is worth a read, he's a good reporter! http://may-cause-offence.tumblr.com/post/10366825931/fourtress-st-marys

2 Assists from Frazer Richardson, the link up play sounds amazing

Personally i care very little for the press and particularly the Echo. They are in the business of making money, so bland factual stories is not what they want. I have often been in the position over the last few years to know the exact facts behind some of the stories they have printed and believe me the stories they have printed have been sensationalism and factually wide of the mark. I don't think the Echo are any worse than other media outlets but i'm not surprised if the club have been rather cool in their treatment of them.

I believe he is injured. I did see him in a couple of pre-season games and i could not believe how poor he was in those games. I honestly believe we may have seen the last of him as a first choice player.

Seriously Alps, hope whatever is wrong is treatable and you are back 100% fit. Will be nice to know you are somewhere in the crowd come the Millwall game. Take no notice of any cynical stupid remarks on here.

To be honest those that moan about Cortese brighten my day. I find it really amusing that even when there is so much to smile about Saints there are still so many miserable gits out there.

I try and not read too much into pre-season games but i have to say i am concerned about Jaidi, he was shockingly bad last weekend and appears to have been the same yesterday from what people have posted that went. I would have liked to have seen us sign an experienced CB during pre-season and have a horrible feeling that we will be found out defensively this season if this area is not addressed.
