Saint Billy

Agree

Benteke and Lukaku would not want to come to saints for these reasons, wages, not a big enough club in their eyes, not a step up from their present clubs, too much competition from bigger clubs to sign them.

Very true!

Is a sponsor that important in the grand scheme of things? Did Cortese get this amount of flak when he took on aap? I do think some here have expectations way too high.

Hope the game is out of this world.

I like the Irish bloke on Talk Sport in the mornings other than that it is a bag of sh*te. Durham and Goff, unlike them I have no words.

You need a Snicker alps!

Why haven't we signed 8 players yet damn it!! If we have not signed 8 players by monday of next week I will be absolutely furious.

I wish I had started this thread, mine barely make one page.

I will be equally annoyed if any go.

Can't complain at a win however we got it. Lets make Giggs temporary reign really miserable next week.

I'm sure that some on here who state they are leaving are not exactly unblemished themselves in the winding up of fellow posters. Its a football forum ffs not a WI forum although I suspect even on there they fall out.

Agreed, more humour please!!

I got killed on BF4 the other day by someone with pompey in their name, damn it!!

You have voiced exactly what I was trying to put down and post but struggled. This forum lacks the fun element and characters its predecessors had and I feel thats why many have left and not because of so called trolls and wums. I also look at the subject matter on here and it is dull to say the least and leaves me feeling less inclined to post. If anything I would say this forum has become very bland and very PC.

I take your point but it is not as clean cut as you make it. I am a life long supporter of saints to the extent that In my earlier years I had Southampton FC tattooed up my arm, we wont go there, but even I can be scathing about saints and voiced it on here lots of times, but have been called a skate, negative, bedwetter etc etc. That is the way I am, I can tend to be more negative about saints than positive, more pessimistic than optimistic, but that does not mean that I love saints any less than anyone else but it can provoke attention from those on here who are more upbeat about things. I suppose it reflects my personality to some extent but at the end of the day SFC have always played a big part in my life. We all see things differently, we all express things differently, some of us are eloquent some are not, some of us are passionate and some more reserved, it is a big melting pot of vastly different personalities and you are never going to acheive status quo because of this especially on a football forum of all places. It is a shame that some have left and there are some that I miss, and it may well be for the reasons that you state, but I dont think you can drastically change it, it is the nature of the beast.

I remember when the mods were instructed to clamp down on abusive and provocative posts and then people started complaining that the forum was over policed and was going downhill, steve cant really win whatever he does. Personally the likes of Glasgow and Turkish add a bit of light and shade to the whole proceedings and I would find the place extremely dull if we were all on here agreeing with eachother. Even at games you will get fellow supporters falling out or fighting with eachother so why expect it to be any different on here. I dont normally get involved in squabbles on here apart from recently but my take is that this forum is no different than 1000's of others and if you are not prepared to have a hard skin and stick up for yourself a bit dont post on a forum

Trousers, dont go mate, we need little rays of sunlight now and again on here.

You think I'm strange eh. I respond to the op's post about marks out of 10 for the season and I answer as I see it, then I get some infantile cretin like you jumping down my throat all because you are think I am a brat for being p*ssed that we easily gave up a fantastic chance to get to wembley, of which the same opinion has been voiced by many others on here. I have been supporting saints home and away for 50 years chum and I suspect by the style of your posts you were not even a semen swimming up your mothers channel when I was going to games at the dell. Anyone that supports saints is a pal of mine, but you jerkoff are the exception.

Jeese, read your own lately.

Priceless !!

You cant even voice your own opinion on here anymore without some jerk like you crying tears because they see things different.

8 out of 10 for me. Would have been 10 but for squandering a golden opportunity in the FA cup.

There's too much money in the game now to expect loyalty from anyone. Rooney only stayed loyal to manc because they offered him 300k per week.

It would be a good touch to let the fans decide on the kit considering that a good proportion of the fans have had an association with the club longer than those owning, running or playing for it.
