Sadly i wont be going to Charlton as got to do the in law thing so will up in Yorkshire over christmas, although fingers crossed for snow so i dont have to bother. Look out for me at Dagenham though, i'll be the one in full physio fancy dress acting mad and drawing attention to myself.

and one or two nutters that go in full santa costume, that is wackiness of the highest level.

this thread is mental. A player we signed for £250k, apart from the first few games has been critised and slagged off every week and is supposedly s*** and not as good as Antonio who cant get in at Reading yet now we think he is worth at least double what we payed for him and in some cases up to £2m, 8 times what we payed for him! Get real people.

and considering how s**** everyone on here said he is, if anything his value should have gone down whilst with us.

/\ as what?

Are you mental? we only payed £250k for him! How come his value has shot up by at least £1.25m considering everyone on here thinks he is s***?!!

F*ck me if he was homesick at Plymouth he wont last five minutes up there.

and another thing, 15 away games to play, 7 of which are against teams above us. Our away form isn't great and having lost 7 already this season we can only really afford to lose another 3 if we are expecting automatic promotion.

Do you also dress in comedy ties and socks?

when was the last time this happened? Seems like ages ago since you clowns dressed up in Scottish kilts and ginger wigs in "honour" of our ginger scottish manager. Surely a missed opportunity was Gills away when you could have all gone dressed as tubes of Toblerone in honour of Markus. How about reintroducing this fun for Daggers away? We could honour Nigel Adkins by all the away support that is into that sort of crazieness goin dressed as physios complete with a first aid kit. For those that struggle how about just wearing glasses and saying in a scouse accent over and over again, "it's about winnning games of football". That would show League one just how crazy Saints fans are and inject a bit of much needed humour into the post xmas/new year gloom.

If only we all had some of your crazeeeeness as indicated by your avatar, Just Mike.

err, the team in 2nd place, Sheffield Wednesday, it really isn't difficult. All it means is Wednesday are in a false position Saints are not.

You are using Wednesday to support your argument, yet a few posts ago you were saying we are only 5 points off second with two games in hand, you cant have it both ways. If you use the points to games ratio Huddersfield would be second and guess what, we were well beaten there in a dire away performance, i know i was there. One point and no goals for against the top two is not so impressive. In fact our only other goals against any team 6 were penalties.

Of course the other way of looking at it is of the 3 league games we played in Jan, 2 were away, one against the team with the best home record last season and we were unbeaten winning one and drawing two. Do you think this current side would go to Millwall and get a point?

Err, you did.

This.

Probably not but if anyone questions your language you can say you have as an excuse.

Indeed, i dont recall people complaining about it when we were beating Leeds, Huddersfield, Charlton and Norwich.

Promotion would be brilliant, but expected. Given the strength of the division this season i expect progress to be promotion and more points that last year. TBH if we get promoted with less points i wont care. But the fact will be that as a team we have not performed as well as least season, because we have less won less games, lost more and have fewer points in a weaker league.

I thought it was quite obvious. People keep banging the drum that we are progressing, but the facts dont back this up. This time last season we had more points in a tougher league.

I bet you £1m the answer wouldn't have been watching Saints play this lot in League one! They were a nice family that lot, proper friendly and down to earth, that girl must be legal by now!! Yep, i dont think they quite saw the funny side of my day report! I wonder if the family stilll post on their forum? Might go on later and have a look, steal a march on you for the girl!!

I am going to this one. New Years day 2004 myself and a few mates were at a loose end so decided to do Aldershot v D&R in a vauxhall conference game, Saints were 4th in the PL at the time. Almost 7 year to the day i'll be watching us play in a league match. Unreal.

It isn't flawed, it's a like for like comparision of this season or last. If i'm not much mistaken our season started against Plymouth in August, not in September when Nigel Adkins took over.

F*ck yeah, okay i made a mistake, deflected free kick wasn't it. He didn't play against plymouth though.

Might that be because Rickie Lambert didn't play against Plymouth or Orient prehaps?
