Someday suddenly I feel in love with you My heat was beating don't ask me why Time has passed and I'm still here And now as then I defend this city Ale ale ale ale ale, ale ale ale ale ale ale, ale ale ale ale ale

Given that we've never finished in the top 10 of top flight for more than 3 seasons in a row and only been in 5 major cup finals (two of those over 100 years ago) in our 133 year history suggests that we are in one of our most successful periods ever. The problem is that so many of the utter dinlows that follow football these days have lost sight of what and who we are as a club. Should we win tomorrow and finish top 10 then it would arguably be our most successful season ever. All that with boring Claude and bumbling Les running the show, even historian labelled the league cup the greatest threat to our season.

Everyone likes raneri because he's a nice bloke but the reality is he isn't that good a manager. His record is average at best given the clubs he's managed. Whilst he deserves great credit for last season Leicester didn't win the league because of a 38 game tactical masterclass. It seems that's its player power that forced him out which is a great shame given they're the ones who who were happy to take all the plaudits when things were going well yet passing the buck for their under performance this season.

Oh no pal! It's gone exactly as I'd hoped. If this was a gay couple this thread would be 5 pages long with the hypocritical majority desperate to be the most offended by it, Wallys like Buctootim frothing at the gash to show how outraged they are. As it is they've made the thread about me. Embarrassing for them.

I'm just a bit of a big deal that's all pal.

The court has discriminated against Hetrosexual couples that have the right to enter into civil partnerships, a option open to same sex couples. Yet another example of the discrimination in this country against hetrosexual white people. Whilst gays enjoy the option of marriage or civil partnership this is not an option for Hetrosexuals who only have the option of marriage.

To the tune of give a little whistle - Pinocchio Lived in Italy before he came here So did sue whistle so did sue whistle Played great football without fear So did sue whistle so did sue whistle We all know Gabbiadini is our guy

Absolutely Geoff. Football is a good leveller. If things aren't great its always good to mingle amongst our fans and remind yourself that you're still vastly superior than at least 95% of the population.

I'm sure we'll put them in their place by telling them in no uncertain terms that they are just a small town near City and remind them that we support our local team. If anyone gets particularly lemon they might end up with a giant foam hand wrapped round their canister or worse still an item of confectionary placed on their head.

People always come out with these silly cliches. How exactly has it put football back 40 years? Football reflects society. Football grounds in this country are largely full of helmets who want to show how wacky they are and be engaged in banter. If there is the slightest bit of trouble there is hysterical outrage with everyone in a race to be the first to condemn as well competing with each other to be the most offended. This Pretty much reflects a large percentage of this country. In Russia in fact most of Eastern Europe there is much more manly culture where men are respected for being men, not because they've got nice beard, tight fitting jeans and cry at the sob stories on x-factor. That's the culture there wether people like it or not, jumping up and down saying how disgusting it all is and cliches like it's put football back 40 years isn't going to change it.

Read the same article, He really does dislike then doesn't he! Monolo Gabbiadini He hates Pompey He loves linguine Monolo gabbiadini Clap clap clap clap clap Monolo gabbiadini He lived on the Amalfi coast Would have Pompey on toast Monolo Gabiadini Clap clap clap clap clap

Which is a huge surprise what with him being South American and all that.

I posted this on my Facebook the day gabiadini signed I'd love us to get this going, sounds great in that

Really? Fonte puts in a transfer request and les says he won't be allowed to leave unless it suits us and we have a replacement lined up. Fonte leaves despite being linked with numerous players we don't sign anyone. What we end up with is a footballing equivalent of the last, most p*ssed girls in the club at the end of the night when all of he fit ones had alrady pulled. Regardless of if Careces luckily becomes a great signing we were left scrabbling round at the end of the night trying to bag who was left available because we'd f*cked up Pulling a decent bit of snatch. No kudos at all, it shouldn't have come to this.

You do yes, another impact of brexit in afraid. Thanks leavers, if the delays costs us the cup they only have themselves to blame. ?

The only case people have made against home games only counting is that the club don't make money from away tickets. So that tells us that all fans are is ultimately a stack of pound notes. However, for those that know how away games get sold that doesn't stack up as if no one went away then the club would still have to pay for the tickets, so whilst they might not make money from away games they'd definitely lose some. Cup finals should be about rewarding the most loyal fans, which is why it should have been season ticket holders first, then total games in descending order. As it is there is a good chance someone with 2-3 home games will get one over someone with 7 aways, how is that fair?

The fact that its going to go down to members who have only been to a couple of games tells us more about our fan base than we'd like to admit.

We had this a few years back when we played away at West Ham on valentines day. You can basically categorise the blokes at games n this night into three types. 1. The Alpha men (AM) who would go to the game with the lads and their women don't question this as they know it's what their chap wants. Why would they want them to spend time with them paying for an overpriced meal when they know they'd both be much happier with him at the football and her watching Emmerdale? For these types of guys it's not even a question that the women would ask, they know their place and respect their AMs for letting them know why they stand. the AM goes to the game, has a few beers and relaxes as any hardworking AM should do. Meanwhile the the women will be at home, freshly bathed, perfumed and in new underwear waiting for her partner to return from the match to either satisfy him sexually on his homecoming or prepare him a nice snack and drink should he not require these services. Both parties in the relationship are happy as there is a mutual respect and understanding between them. 2. Soppy lemons (the SL) who would take their girlfriend to the game. The SL go with their wives or girlfriends all the time as they are henpecked and not allowed to enjoy themselves without their insecure female partner ever leaving side. They also want their women with them, not because they want their company because they are frightened if they're out of their sight they'd be getting nailed by someone else. The women in a relationship with an SL will spend the whole time either nagging their pathetic excuse for a man not to drink too much or swear or worse still try to be one of the lads by drinking too much and swearing and behaving in a generally vulgar fashion. These "men" look on at the AMs wishing they were more like them and not tied into a long term relationship with a woman they resent but are too pathetic to end it with. The women also look on at the AMs wishing their embarrassment of a man was more like them and would no doubt jump at the chance to have a fling with them and know what it feels like to be with a man who didn't just want cuddles. these relationships are doomed to failure, whilst in the short term they may pretend to have a common interest as the SL will become increasingly bitter about the henpecking/vulgar behaviour and the women will become increasingly bored with her soppy, wet lettuce of a partner she'll end up looking elsewhere. 3. Ugly and single.

Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday or Huddersfield would suit me

You can't afford to keep your best players by paying them £100k a week and expect to keep progressing.

I don't want to stamp on your dream jimmy but you sure you were there? We wore red and white stripes when we won at Wembley, the sash kit didn't come out until the season after. As for the game, Its also my 40th on cup final day and a watching us win our second major trophy in our history would be amazing. By coincidence the day when I was born we had an FA cup fifth round tie at the Dell, our opposition? Man united.

Which is exactly why they should have made games count equally, home or away. If they had then it would have probably sold out by now and avoided the potential scenario we'll have if it gets down to 2 or 3 homes games counting whereby you could easily have people who just bought tickets to see a game or to see the team they actually support playing. If all games had counted it would have rewarded members who went to stoke, hull, Burnley etc, there weren't too many neutrals who just want to see a game at any of those in either end. Just to be clear his isn't about me either, I've got a ticket, this is about rewarding the most loyal fans regardless of where they live, which means the ones that have been to most games rather ones who can only bother going to st Mary's.

Are you really that dopey? No one has said that at all, what many people have said is that home and away games should be treated equally. Your laughable arguement that away fans don't matter is completely nullified because you don't understand how buying away tickets work, ie if no one went away the club would still have to foot the bill for the tickets. So tell me dopey old boy, why is a "fan" who has been to 3 home games more deserving than one who has been to 6 or 7 aways? If it does go down to 2 or 3 games then there is also a chance that a non saints fan might get a ticket if they've just bought a membership to see a bit of premier league football now again. Still, I guess you'd rather that than a saints fan who can only make away games, what with the neutral paying into the club and all that. :rollseyes:

Of course they do, SMS for me is a 10 hour, 600 mile round trip, the closet game to me (Burnley) is 100 miles, 3 hour round trip. Which one I am I going to go to if I can only go to one game a month? Why were only home games counted? If someone goes to 4 home games a season why should they be prioritised over an away fan who has been to 4 aways? They should have counted each game equally, but they didn't and here's why, we are customers and away tickets don't bring the club any income, which is all they care about.
