They aren't even a joke. People laugh at jokes.
It's just that absolutely no one cares anymore.
It's the same as being Aldershot, basically. It's sort of "there" but no one cares. No one.
Surely, the first 17 games and the last 17 are remarkably similar? That's about 90% of the season. And it's not as if we played all the top teams home and away before Xmas. It's a pretty symmetrical fixture list.
Almost certainly not - it would require Wigan to get 9 points from 5 games AND Villa to get 6 points from 5 games. (and those two teams still have to play each other)
Am I unusual/old-fashioned for not giving a toss about Europe?
If we were in the Europa League, I think I'd be about as interested as I would in the League Cup. Probably slightly more interested in the League Cup, tbh.
Fox is just about adequate as cover.
But I think I'd prefer the cover for Shaw to be switching Clyne to left-back and putting Cork (or maybe even Richardson) to right back.
This is nuts.
I remember about ten years ago thinking how we could qualify for the Intertoto Cup.
Thankfully, we didn't and Strachan made plain we wouldn't enter anyway.
Please no...
The level of Saints-relatedness here is just overwhelming.
I might start a new thread about the last episode of Dr Who.
And which teams might play in "Ice Warrior" green next season.
Pls move the thread, mods.
Probably only 2 or 3 points IMHO.
But that may yet be too many to destroy the yo-yo strategy.
Our failure to get relegated this season will haunt the club for years.
Swansea 23 Saints 0
If we lose by any less, the yo-yo strategy is in bits.
We may even have to get players sent off or actually try to shoot past Boruc to get the strategy back on track.
