Humility and realism, that was what was lacking, I wont quote any more as there is no need.

There are some belters on here.

He is more honest than some of the punters on here, fair play to him.

I'm not trolling, if you actually think about it I actually want to protect my team from this crap, I stated the other the day the external comms at the club need to be slapped and I stand by that, the media will turn and this will have a double negative on our players.

They are for all to see, I stated I would rather we finished 17th and won a trophy, others wanted to be higher up the table, some did not even know the European qualification rule.

Cortese would not see it that way, he also wont like that to compete with the big boys you have to spend millions on a consistent basis, something he wont do or he would have done already.

You see how successful the season is at the end of it.

Can we get those threads up from a few weeks ago? The happy ones will be blushing, my prediction does not change we shall be 9th 10th with Cortese having to spend £100 million to progress in to the European places, that aint gonna happen.

All clubs aim high its not a new concept, their are far bigger clubs with more fans, bigger budgets and more clout aiming as well. Admirable but old hat and not going to happen.

Can we get the Europe threads up from 2 weeks ago, the "our midfield is better than Arsenals" pearler, the England/Southampton team threads, day tripper clappers.

Joe I am 38 and have supported and will continue to support Southampton, its the modern day tripper Saints fans and I include Cortese in that who thinks we are bigger than we are and thinks we can get into Europe in the current format, naive and absolutely childish.

That is my point, Christ alive, you are as strongest as your weakest link.

The Premiership, the top flight, Jesus its obvious.

If you dont prepare, prepare to fail.

This has been copied and pasted from the last 15 years of our history, we never learn as the "Southampton way" is to **** it up.

I take it you play football? You never invite a shot.

We are losing because our squad is weak and poor signings have made it so, thats the harsh truth.

Yoshida could put a foot in or close down, great goal but **** me.

Oh ****ing hell.

Why I will be as happy as anyone else, I guess so will other Saints fans.

I have just fallen into my Christmas tree.

Are we smoking crack?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
