Avenue Saint

Let's not try and correct each other on our individual takes on life ;-) Respect is important as is recognition in this situation my fellow... Even if we didn't go up this season, we are at a very happy place right now.

You compare us to any of our competitors and you truly sense an air of overwhelming professionalism running through every layer of the functioning club. Loving it...

Take a moment gents, A little over 2 years ago, relegation from England's 2nd division and then to have the screw turned on us even further by having the burden of -10 hanging around our necks... We currently sit 10 games away from what (hopefully) could be a return to England's top league and that from the platform of topping the division! How blessed have we truly been to come BACK to this point? I am so truly grateful to God first and foremost but after that, who is to thank or applaud?? Who do we truly thank for our magnificent recovery? A 'happy clappy' thread this is hoped to most definitely be Up the MAGIC Saints!!!

Why have stupid threads like this? Stay clear of something which makes you week... Bit dramatic but you see what I'm saying. Mentally no-one needs priming for Rickie Lambert being sold for a 'right' fee.

£60m

Would be a very sound addition and still at an age to grow with us. If true of course...

What a result from donny!! COYS!!!!

What a quality player this Lee is! Adam lallaaaaaaaaana!!!!

What do you expect with that cm lineup... I would guess that whatever position we are in, on the intro of de ridder and cork, you will see an instant marked improvement on both our possession and play.

Very disappointed to see Hammond ahead of Chaplow AND Cork!

Agreed

Wrong type of game to blood him and also those around him didnt help much. Give him the ball and his obvious talent will tell. Am still hopeful on this one.

very surprised at the number of posters actually settled outside of southampton. also the average age must easily be in the 40's Makes the likes of us newbie '30's lot' in the minority! top stuff...

Now that we had Jrm, correct me if im wrong, are we just waiting on Dalek, hypo, cestrian, charlie wayman and docker p...?

I bet you the same people who missed the value of Oakley, regard Hammond as one of our best players.

Actually I'll grant you that. However 11 losses in 19 games after we were on an upward curve with hoddle left a lasting bitter taste. Wigley, 1 win in 8 or 9 was it(?) has to be the worst manager I have experienced in my time at saints. Still, fate has a funny way Of running its course I suppose.

Good thread lads, let's keep the bickering out of it for once hey? Like the Turkman, we all follow One Direction... ....The Saints!

Quoting teenage boy band groups? This really is a thread for letting the old guard down then I guess... Lol

Lowe did some good things but ultimately fell down with choice of managers. Gray and Wigley killed us!

Good for you! :-)

------------------ Davis ----------- Frazer -- Fonte - Hooiveld --Fox (if fit) Steeeve---Cork --- Morgan ---Lallana - -------- ----- Lee ---- Lambert ----- Martin, Sharp, Falque, Punch, Chaplow

You could always see his class...

30. Local. First game huddersfield dell- won 4 or 5 nil. Matty scored 4 I think.

Some fun. Your ideal (realistic) squad? Davis Frazer. Fonte. Jos. Fox Chaplow. Cork. Morgan. Lallana Lambert Lee Sharp. Rhodes DeRidder Butterfield Mcgugan Puncheon Harding. Pearce Martin. Clyne Bart Sell/out: Forecast (****e) Butterfield (age) Jaidi (age) Seaborne (never was good enough) Dickson (not popular with Adkins) Forte (not good enough) Hammond (captain not do-a-lot and week link in team) Holmes (injury prone) Guly (TOO inconsistent) Barnard (need better) Connolly (age) Davis Bart Richardson Clyne Jose Fonte Jos Hooiveld Jason Pearce Aaron Martin Danny Fox Dan Harding Richard Chaplow Jason Puncheon Morgan Schneiderlin Jack Cork Jacob Butterfield Lewis McGugan Adam Lallana Steve DeRidder Rickie Lambert Tadanari Lee Jordan Rhodes Billy Sharp
