Its nonsense in your opinion. The abuse demonstrates that grown up discussion is beyond you.

No, not really, since my suggestion was a possible approach for maximising our chances of promotion.

I thought the only metric that mattered was being in 2nd place. Not the respect and envy of a bunch of Third Division Neanderthals.

Post of the day. Seriously warming to you, Turkish.

I would hardly call that "comfortable". Chasing after 2nd with injured players and settling for playoffs both entail a risk.

and I get accused of being knee-jerk...

Exactly. I made the same point earlier. I really dont think you are alone.

What do you mean self-contradictory ? My outlook on SFCs chances often swings with my mood caused by a result, but I consider that to be normal behaviour. The people on here saying "we will end up 2nd" after a sh*te game where we have underachieved sound conversely like they are on Prozac or are in therapy. Whatever, it aint particularly honest emotionally. I dont contradict myself on any other aspect of things SFC that I am aware of.

So you are basically a voyeuristic Peeping Tom. Would you oblige again, The9 ?

Thanks, glad someone did me the favour.

Seriously, who cares ? NA made it perfectly clear he wouldnt walk across the road and p*ss on Puncheon if he were on fire. End of.

Yep, turn to abuse when incapable of discussing the point...

Hey everyone, look at meeeee !!! Yes, yes, clever boy knows how to operate the ignore function..

Are we ? Huddersfield have more points than us. Ahhhhhh - of course. We are certain to win them games in hand 5-0

Why ? They are p*ssing the league.

Yeah, but its amazing how few of our fans want to see this. Let's face it. Our club and its fans are comfortable with coming "close but no cigar" and blaming a ref decision or something on our misfortune. Last season it was the -10points, despite the fact that the manager deliberately decided to disregard promotion.

He targeted them from Game 1, FFS, whereas we know we can beat the other teams in playoff positions on the strength of results from THIS season. Its completely different.

Neither. I have never taken the games-in-hand seriously because no team can f**k up like we can, but table position-wise with a bit of luck, it looks like we might fall over the finish line. Sorry, too much history of Saints making tough jobs even more difficult for themselves...

Argument ? Its called a "debate", and my post is called a "possible point of view". Oh, and your description is "Full Member" (and what a member you are), not "moderator" so save it with the StevieGrant routine..

...and then they post meaningless stats just to tell you how righteous their happiness is and how foolish your frustration is.

Good post.

Why must you be so f**king unpleasant ?

OK, maybe it is a little premature. But that infers that this suggestion isnt all that outrageous, and cricumstances could merit this decision. Let's see what team steps out against MK Dons...

Interesting. Because I think that term could also be used to describe those that the happy-clappers euphemistically describe as "wrist-slitters"
