We didn't lose today because of a supposedly weak bench and squad. We lost because Tranmere had two shots at goal and scored twice, individual errors leading to the goals and most worryingly the attitude of the players. Quite simply in the first half Tranmere wanted it more, hussled and pressured us and played out of their skin. You can have a squad of 60 world class players but if their attitude isn't right then they wont win. I can accept us losing due to moments of brilliance from the other team or bad luck from us, sometimes it just doens't go for you, but what i cant accept is us losing because the other team want it more, especially in a game we should win easily on paper and when we have so much to play for.

Sorry, i should have written 5 paragraphs on how depressing it is that at my age i dont own a house, i'll remember next time.

Who took the the cherry off your Belgian bun? A few weeks ago you were begging to hang out with me. You seem to have delvloped a bit of an attitude just lately, you been cyber knocking about with Supermikey and Alpine? You're right though, maybe i should be more interesting, posting threads about how depressing my life and how sh*t my mates are is sure to increase my internet popularity.

i had a forum friend once who used to bore the life out of me with his stories about when he was younger he used have ocd and a prayer ritual and he didn't say certain sentances bad things would happen, also used to moan a lot about how life wasnt all that, i've managed to avoid him for a while but he is perstant i tell thee.

why dnt we go into biz together and knock up some saints/man u snoods? the ultimate fashion accessory for the super fan

doesn't that come off the amount you can borrow for a mortgage?

my sentiments exactly, the closer we get to this game the more embarassing it becomes, it's nothing special, its a fourth round cup tie against Man Utd FFS. And if i see anyone wearing one of those scarves i'll f*cking Strangle them with it,

It's totally different, it's like Saints playing Shrewbury in the FA Cup and resting Fonte, Lallana, Lambert or another key "star" player, like we did. Wenger picked a team to win the match and used their squad, that is what good managers do, the team he picked was good enough to beat Leeds relatively comfortably, why? Because he has a good, strong squad full of good players, capable of winning games without their star men. Not just significantly poorer quality cover players that only play when others above them in the pecking order get injured.

no, they said "a source close to Chamberlain said he may have played his last game for us" - big difference, one is factual, the other is total ambiguous. IMO if we can keep him for the rest of season and get the rumoured £10m then we have a good deal, that will give us 5 very good championship players, if he leaves in Jan it doesn't give us much time to replace him, although i assume work has been going on behind the scenes incase this happens.

And this is my point, these are the sort of players we can expect to get if "cover" is all we go for.

i'll have some FREE advice, first time buyer, decent wage, zero deposit though at the moment, shall we call it a "chequered" credit history over the last 10-15 years but been a good boy for the last 3 or 4 years and now the only debt i have is a couple of grand on credit cards which i could clear off easily if i want to. Never been able to save up a deposit as been renting for 10 years and paying off debts from my early 20's. What are my chances?

a couple of internet sites said we were interested and an ITKer on here said we had bid £1.5m other than that its 8 pages of nonsense with people wetting themselves, creaming themselves or wristslitting in equal measure. Dont get me wrong, i'd love us to sign him, but yet again this forum excels itself with histrionics based on zero facts and speculation.

yeah it's just over 2 hours to drive, which is fine, i was all up for making an early start, getting into London early and visiting a few old haunts then heading to Peterborough for about 4pm but probably will drive, have to do that another day.

and Puncheon.

HOw much are you paying and what route are you going by train? I had all but decided to drive as when i looked online it was £65, 3 changes and 3 1/2 hours each way.

are you sure?

Two options, we could sign a back up bus driver, although really we could do with three or four incase they get injured. We could always sign a conductor who could fill in as a driver if we are hit with an injury crisis, he wont be as good but at least we'll have cover.

or maybe we just trusted in out management that they knew what they were doing and didn't predict a knee jerk reaction of impeding doom based on nothing but speculation and worst case scenarios, before anyone even knew the extent of both players injuries.....

This thread is genius, pure drama and speculation. it also seems according the echo report that Chaplow will play tomorrow and is fit and Hammond has started training again and will resume training again soon. So from the drama of the impending slide down the table due to all of our midfield being injured, this time next week would go infact have them all fit! Onto the next drama queen thread!

they'll only need 7,000 tickets, 63,000 Saints fans desecending on Manchester will be some sight, it'll be a top weekend up there as well.

I thought that and "0-0, in your cup final"

You are right and wrong, i know for a fact that 11 of the players training today will be in the first XI tomorrow.

You are probably right, Whereas Jesus was just a class act, John The Baptist is one of those prophets that would be better prophecying at a higher level, his language and dicition was far to skillful for the lowlights of L1 level disciples, he'd be much better preaching to Emperors and Caeasers in The PL, certainly a wasted talent and will definitely look back on his career with regret that he didn't get more international caps for Israel, prophecying abroad to the Romans like that turn coat the Apostle Paul did. I was never convinced about the virgin Mary though, always felt she was more style over substance. And dont even get me started on Judas, anyone that turns his back on the club which invested so much time and effort into him for an extra 30 pieces of silver a week is just a greedy, money grabbing c*nt.

Thats is probably one of my top 3 most embarassing moments as a Saints fan, utterly cringe worthy.

I think when Utd fans sing, "you only came to see Utd" the 20,000 regulars at SMS should also join in and sing it at the 8k or so part timers in the crowd.
