That’s the point though isn’t it. You seem very concerned about who saints are playing. It’s all about watching them against Man United and you name check Sheffield Wednesday as someone you don’t want us to play against. Sheffield Wednesday a hysterically big club with a famous old stadium and a cracking away day. I guess that’s where we differ, I’m only interested in watching one team, who the other side are is pretty irrelevant.

How many other teams go down to 10 and lose 9-0? Remember when we played Newcastle and we absolutely battered them after they had two players sent off? Oh wait

That window was hilarious. Mawson was another name mentioned. Then when we ended up with Carillo we were told how hard it was to get the deal done, yeah right, probably one because Monaco thought it was a wind up

So I guess you’re more of a premier league fan than a saints fan then, which explains a fair bit.

Why are you bothered about who your team plays against? You’ve mentioned it twice now. Do you go to watch your team or the opposition?

If it didn’t matter why did Ralph say it was the lowest moment of his career? Why does it get mentioned every single frigging time we’re on Telly? It may not matter in as much as it didn’t effect our final postion that much but we are in the record books, for the wrong reasons.

The talk of cheap options that we can develop to replace our main sources of goals doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. I think Ralph is a good manager but he’s at a basket case club only going one way.

Incorrect. Any concerns I have about our prospects on the pitch have been balanced out by the stadium improvements and kit made from recycled bottles.

True, plenty of teams get relegated not many can manage two record breaking results in two seasons.

I’ve already posted about all the positives we have so you’re aiming this at the wrong person pal

The same manager and club holding the joint heaviest all time defeat is about as low as it can get up isn’t it?

Typical Soggy. He’s off preaching again whilst telling everyone else not to talk about it. I don’t think I’ve ever come across or more pious individual.

Your first line shows that you’ve not been keeping up with current views on it, probably blinkered by your own ignorance and arrogance. The rest of your post is irrelevant because you never speak to or see any none white people or go to football.

The main questions that needs answering is was the £2.5m spent on stadium improvements money well spent? How was your match day experience enhanced?

That’s how it works in every industry though. Bring quality in from outside particularly from the competitors it cost a lot.

A lot of people are in a similar situation to us though. Booked a holiday pre covid, can’t get a refund but can get a free change to a new date and location. We are now on the 4th time of rescheduling our holiday, we were meant to be going to Crete next week but Mrs got Covid so pushed it back to Mexico in October which is now red list. Obviously we will move it yet again if things stay the same. It’s all very well to say you know the risk but What are you meant to do just write it off and walk away from the money? If you go to a red country I get it, you know what the circumstances are but to change it while people are there and expect them to find thousands for a ridiculous rule when it’s no safer in a hotel as it is at home Is a disgrace. What happens if you can’t afford it?

Just looked into it further, £2300 for first adult, £1430 for second and £325 for kids 5-12 so would cost us nearly £4K. Still absolutely scandalous. It was a £10k fine for no hotel quarantine

Isn’t it a Travel lodge or similar as well? For 3 of us that would cost us £6900, more than a 5 star all inclusive for two weeks. Absolute rip off. If you deliberately go to a red country then i guess you know what you’re in for but if you’re in one and they change it with just a few days notice how can anyone be expected to stump up that sort of money? Why is it any safer than quarantine at home?

If I were you I’d pay up. The chance to search this forum to find the good posters who don’t bother anymore and you can see why is well worth a fiver every year

How the fuck can they change the traffic light system of a country whilst people are there and expect them to stump up the cash for hotel quarantine? Why do they even need hotel quarantine? Surely it’s equally as safe to drive or get a taxi and stay home for 10 days rather than be forced to spend £1700 per person on this farce. How many people have a space £5-£6k laying around to pay for an enforced rule like this at no notice??

The worry is you could see us getting a couple of thrashings in those games too. We won’t be able to handle United’s attack, we lost to 9 man Newcastle and could easily have lost by a lot more at city last season. Plus we always lose at Everton and west ham usually beat us. There really isn’t much to look forward too, we’ve basically got to hope there are 3 shitter teams than us. There are man for man ability wise but mentality and momentum aren’t on our side either.

And mine. We were utter shit last half of last season and seen nothing to suggest this will turn around. There is no momentum or positivity around the place. The squad is weaker, we can’t defend and we’ve just lost our only reliable source of goals. Plus we’ve got a very tough start and we all know what this lot are like when things go against us. We do have some talented players but we’re a sinking ship and I think this could be the year we go under. Unless of course there are somehow three teams worse than us.

Stop taking the piss trying to get him on the cheap. Fair comments. If it was other clubs doing it to one of our players we’d be the same.
