The club is no longer run FOR the fans...............
Smirking_Saint replied to Fitzhugh Fella's topic in The Saints
I have not personally attacked him from a personal standpoint, from a work standpoint or even attacked his books. I merely have responded to the poster and his posting history. It seems to me it doesnt matter who is in charge of the club after a small amount of time they will have done something of some sort to upset him and jump up on his horse again. It was only a matter of weeks ago he was fanfairing about what a wonderful chsirwoman we now have that not only acted to the will of the fans and also restocked the books (unlike that nasty Mr C) Now KL has fallen into his sights aswell. So Im sorry, but if you continue to react the way that FF constantly does, and continue to post with agenda filled drivvel then you get what you get. Agreed that care has to be taken not to get too personal but Ive not seen an awefull lot wrong with the replies so far. -
It appears Sir Rickie is not playing to his usually high standards
Smirking_Saint replied to Rasiak-9-'s topic in The Saints
I think thats the point bud We either change the system or the personel. -
Im ****ed off at the whole thing really. Poch could have rested players at Hull and played a stronger team in the cup. Also, the players that played should have had enough about them to beat a very changed Sunderland, there performance was so far below their standards, so Im pretty annoyed with them too.

I imagine your high on the list of people that those ITK would want to share valuable information with GS. Such is your intelligence and credible posting style. -
Ludicrous team selection. Utter madness.

Smirking_Saint replied to Unbelievable Jeff's topic in The Saints
Exactly Only really Jos, Davis and Guly are any real reservists. The rest have had a reasonable amount of game time. Looking back now Im not so annoyed at the team sheet but the sheer lack of any meaningful quality from any of our lads on the pitch who have on many occassions proven themselves to be perfectly able. -

Smirking_Saint replied to Unbelievable Jeff's topic in The Saints
This was on facebook and twitter after the cup exit, more or less straight away. I personally dont buy it. And we hardly 'threw away the cup' its not like we were in the Semi's or anything, our first 11 is tired, they were rested and we played on paper what should be a strong team. If anything it shows that below the first 11 we are too weak, we knew this anyway from our poor run of form earlier in the season. I think the scariest thing is that if Lallana isnt performing (and he had a poor game by his very high standards) and Jay Rod doesnt play then were are the goals coming from ? -

Is there ever a time that Duncan doesnt throw his toys out of the pram ?! I remember his so called glory days, under Lowe, a club ran for the fans....... Didnt stop you moaning every five minutes though. Then KL was glorious, she brought back the parking charges, she reinvigorated your bank account by stocking the book in the club shop. Now she is a heathen that cares not for the wishes of us poor Saints fans. Having sat back and thought about the dissapointment I felt Saturday it was more an abject performance of the team on the pitch then anything else. It wasstrong enough, especially to overcome a bottom table dide who had made 9 changes and despite a few mistakes it took a barnstormer of a goal to beat us. It wasnt thrown, thats rediculous, it was a mistake. So there you go, I responded to this OTT thread, and its laughable that FF has the nerve to call OldNick an old woman after his tantrum filled thread. -

Smirking_Saint replied to Rasiak-9-'s topic in The Saints
Nice work Clarky, does that make you a Div too ?? As I said before I like Rickie but Im realistic and he has been pretty poor really. Personally I think its more to do with the system we play rather then any fault in his game per se. I also think the calls of his legs gone are wide of the mark as he was never particularly mobile in the first place. Yesterday wasnt his fault either, as a team we were poor, even Lallana had a poor game for his standards and Rickie was pretty anonomous but he wasnt really helped by the midfield either. Opinions on Lambert have really turned into a very polarized situation, I can only assume this is because he is a club legend (deservedly so) but IMO its not working with him as the spearhead. He didnt link up well yesterday and often is just not mobile enough. Its also only 7 assists none of which are against top ten teams and the only top half team he has scored against this season is Spurs -

Smirking_Saint replied to Rasiak-9-'s topic in The Saints
Tell me what he offers to our play ? Genuinely ? He has scored a few pens, but seriously what has he given us since Xmas Fulham aside ? Im not anti-Lambert, I love what he has done for us over the years, he has been great. But if we are looking at thenext level he isnt good enough. -

Rooneys been injured and they were raving about him pre injury, Sturridge has been sublime. Then its between the rest of them, arguably J Rods the next best but he isnt a striker. Lambert has been pretty dire TBH, but Id still take him to the WC. Woy hasnt much of a choice to make TBH, 3 pick themselves and then its out of Carroll or Lambert. -
In any game of football if you lose the midfield battle you will make life very hard on ourselves We lost the midfield battle. Defensively we were not terrible, Mayas distribution was arguably better then Jos and davis TBH, the whole team was dire, nothing stuck upfront, we didnt control the midfield and mistakes were made at the back
-
Its because he is utterly terrible Sorry Chez but CanadaSaint has a point, he plays and his partner suffers. He really is an aweful defender at this level.

Smirking_Saint replied to Rasiak-9-'s topic in The Saints
He has been ****ing terrible for ages except for perhaps the second half vs Fulham (when he didnt play upfront) Apparantly Im missing all the good things he does during a game..... Can somone please point them out ? -
This He shoulda cleared him out
-
He really hasnt been that bad, positionally he is usually pretty good TBH
-
Again this (christ hypo I know its valentines day but thats twice Ive agreed with you !) They played there very best game of the season against liverpool.... And lost They are down
