  1. That's the clip I was about to post! After the first slow rendition, you can hear a few try to clap and speed it up, but they were easily ignored by the better slower singers. It's not rocket science; But it is highly embarrassing that we have to look to fans of other clubs to see how OUR song should be sung properly and loudly.
  2. I guess the answers that you've failed to give are: Yes, you like to clap fast when singing OWTSGMI; Yes, you sing Red Army; Yes also to Southampton Til I Die; and you clearly sit in The Northam. It figures, if you think any of the above makes you [The Northam] Superfans. Edit: Do what JRM suggested. THAT should highlight how poor The Greatest Stand At St Marys really is for atmosphere outside of the heads of the 100mph crew.
  3. If anyone sits at the back of The Northam, can you please punch the Muppets who bang the backboards and ruin every chant - especially OWTSGMI which as a result is sung better by every other team than us. Tell them you're 'having a word' on behalf of Barry The Badger.
  4. So: do you sing those songs and sit in The Northam?
  5. OWTSGMI sung slowly also makes OWSTGMI sung loudly from all four stands. I bet you love clapping really quickly as you sing it then, Red Army, Southampton Til I Die and that you sit [stand] in The Greatest Stand At St Marys as well.
  6. Or sing the existing and/or traditional songs at the correct tempo so that a) other parts of the ground can take up your lead and b) OWTSGMI doesn't die out after one 100mph chorus.
  7. The only time all four stands have sung in unison this season has been when OWTSGMI has been sung slowly. I'm not saying that the other three stands are full of people who want to be standing up and singing. If they did, they'd probably move to the Northam. However, the other stands will join in and thus a better atmosphere would be created if we didn't just get the 100mph songs from The Greatest Stand At St Marys types.
  8. I don't think people are bemoaning the fact that you [The Northam Stand] sing; It's more that you sing predictable and boring songs - "Do do do do, *any player*" "Southampton Til I Die" (this tune/song has traditionally been adopted by thick northern monkey teams and P*mpey) "Red Army" (if someone asked you what colour Saints plated in, you wouldn't say 'Red' - it's ridiculous) and OWTSGMI at 100mph. The only time we get all four sides of the ground singing in unison is when OWTSGMI is sung SLOWLY; Even then, it is only on the second time around if the Northam Muppets haven't started clapping like seals on speed and singing like they're in a race to finish. The only way we'll get s great atmosphere back is if we slow it down and The Northam get off of their high horse belief that they create an amazing atmosphere. They don't - they ruin the atmosphere at present.
  9. No, you really don't create a great atmosphere; Unless you mean 'special' as in retarded. I agree with JRM: The Northam was great for the first two or three seasons at St Marys, but it's embarrassing now. Anyone who thinks The Northam creates a fantastic atmosphere with it's limited choice of songs, OWTSGMI sung at 4 x proper speed and the Northern Monkeys "Southampton til I die" tune are, themselves, 'special'. Those who have their heads up their special Northam arses should have them removed by spending a while listening to Man Utd, Spurs, Leeds, Man City crowds on YouTube.
  10. That's some spiral you've been on. Just a PO postcode to go and you'll have hot rock bottom.
  11. Why is it that some people lie by saying Lordswood instead of Lordshill?
  12. They do heart rate and other tests when they get back to Staplewood after away matches already.
  13. It's f***ing Scūnthorpe. THAT's how far we've fallen in a short space of time.
  14. It just goes to show how far we've fallen, when people are considering which players we might be able to persuade to join us from Scūnthorpe to strengthen our team.
  15. Mac users: continue as normal.
  16. Nope, it works brilliantly on my iPhone all of the time. You should maybe look at getting a better multimedia device.
  17. It "just works" fine on the iPhone.
  18. Aldi Triple Blade. As good a shave as the Mach / Wilkinson, at a fraction of the price.
  19. http://giffgaff.com/index/pricing I'm glad I didn't buy my iPhone 4 with a contract; Looks like I'll be paying £10 or £15 per month shortly (Unlimited Texts / Unlimited Web)
  20. Just one more thing, Mr Columbo ...
  21. I still didn't spot the shirt had been mentioned, despite scanning the thread twice before I posted. With all that we've seen over the years, we shouldn't be surprised at being disappointed with anything involving Saints really.
  22. We still haven't won in that Sash.
  23. Hi Tim, hope you're well. It was something to fill some time and take in some lower league stuff. We are now that lower league stuff :-/ Hopefully it won't be Saints v Aldershot next! Don't forget, Turkish - we took their message board as well and that young D&R piece wanted some ;-) Our SaintsFun St Georges Cross did get some bemused looks on the terrace!
  24. I have the DVD box set (incl. the pilot episode) if anyone wants to borrow it. It is funny in a 1970s kind of way.
  25. Have fun; You've made a wise purchase. Luckily, you won't be one of the Android/ Blackberry/ Other handset owners bleating about having no Football League/Saints App on their poorly supported device
