PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, put us out of our misery. You seriously didn't spend any amount of time investigating the real reason did you?

yes the sweepstake was a great idea by the players and worked. To give you a heads up some players next week will be wearing long sleeve shirts and some short sleeved shirts, i'm not saying who the smart money is on to start the thread...

i've found out, the players did it on purpose so they could see if a thread would be started on here with people bickering over the whys and wherefores of the impact socks have on the outcome of the game. There was a sweepstake that Lady Saint would start the thread, Apline or Glasgow saint would comment on the fact no team has won any trophy the last six months wearing multi coloured socks. Crab Lungs would suggest Dan kerins write an article on it in his amazing weekly column in the echo, Romsey Stu would comment that no thug would be seen dead wearing red socks and the thread would be blocked my midday today due to the tedious, stupid and totally pathetic nature... Rumour has it that Barnards just won a tenner.

its worked out well seeing as we will now have two extra days between our next match on bank holiday monday. Orient play on the saturday, no we were tired excuses if we dont beat the O's.

why dont you all check http://www.saintsfc.co.uk and look under the match, then fixtures and results section an amazingly it tells you all our results so far this season and all upcoming fixtures. Its an amazing thing this thing they call iniative, using it helps you find out all sorts of life changing things for yourself.

You are right, it is a sillly thing. Typical woman, more interested in what the players are wearing than the match...

i dont think we've had enough threads on this subject, can we have at least another 15 a day before sunday please.

is there a seating plan for this one? Can everyone post their seat numbers on here so we can work out who is who at the game.

why did Schneiderlin come off, was he injured?

Oh FFS, we've scored again.

what do you mean they have had more corners than us?? Should we be losing to teams like Hartlepool in the corner stakes?

Oh for gods sake!! Other teams score!! Havant & Waterlooville took the lead at Anfield a few seasons ago, it happens!!! I bet Alpine Red wasn't posting on The Red Forum bleating on about it when that happened! You are funny though, i'm sure you are on a wind up....

spot on, that would be an achievement given the points deduction and the first 10 games. Next season i expect us to go up as champions.

brighton are pony at home, won only 3 times, i think we are more likely to lose to Bristol rovers, who are on a decent run or slip up against someone we should beat like Yeovil or Gills away.

more by the looks of it, average attenadance 21k, wembley tickets sold ofically 45k with others in neutral and Carlise areas. Where are the other 24k every week?

whatever happened to Hassan Kachloul? Got a bit big time, big money move then disappeared.

i dont think we are coming on the mong mobile, dont you try telling the driver the way, when he puts you right you'll be cowering in the back telling everyone what a top bloke he is if your "previous" with Mr Oldknow is anything to go by....

You want want be be doing you Harold Bishop esque ****e in there mate, its been designated a thugs pub, anyone that wears club shirts will have the sleeves ripped off and shoved up their backside and their ***** kicked as far and penge...

Watch it you mug or you might get a call out of the blue from someone at the club and melt quicker than an ice cube in a microwave. See you in the Green Man, if i'm feeling generous i might only nick all your days pocket money....

Every mistake at any level is now caught on TV. 25 years ago live football was a rare thing as were highlights so mistakes went largely unnoticed as technology was not about to blow the incidents up like it does these days. The only people who knew about it were those at the game or newspaper reporters. These days every big decision is on the telly and disected on messageboards like this for days afterwards. Refs are under so much pressure these days they need help, the only answer is using video footage for big decisions.

wy dont people just wear normal clothes rather than feeding the corporate juggernault that is modern day football and also they wont have to spend all their time worrying that they might be given a slap or kicked out of the ground for wearing colours?

how about what they do at glasgow rangers? Simply a guy with a microphone telling everyone how great GRFC are which a few blokes holding various pro-rangers flags with pro Rangers music, non of this "we welcome the away fans ********"..... Personally i've always felt that we should have the team come out to a stirring anthem like the Stone Roses "this is the one" if you dont know it this is it, imagine this belting out just before kick off, mild at first then 2 mins before it really hots up.... followed by the PA announcer totally ignoring the away fans, giving it all the "Welcome to St Marys, we are the best, we are going to win, etc......" Those words and music would inspire me...

But they dont change that much where "fans" are more interested in what goes on before the game and at half time than during it. Surely the purpose of going to a football match is to watch a football match, personally i couldn't give a toss if the PA announcer isn't champions league standard, all i care about is what goes on on the pitch whilst the match is in progress, not before it, during the break or after it.

agreed with that, i remember the days of getting into the ground as soon as te turnstiles opened to get your place at the back of the Milton, underneath the family centre if the weather was ****, then the brass band before the game and at half time, those were the days. You didn't have people moaning about the queues and quality of the pies and beer, quality of their replica shirt (hardly anyone wore one) crap pre match and half time entertainment and the matchday programme back then! No one gave a toss, we were there for the match, thats the trouble with fans these days, they are consumers, sometimes i wonder if they'd settle for a crap match provided they didn't have to queue for beer, had someone doing stand up at half time and had Gordon Ramsey made pies.

agreed, both of them would be comfortable in the CCC. unfortuntely when a defender gives the ball away it can often lead to trouble, when a striker does it, it goes unnoticed.
