that the ref had forgottten they had a divine right to win

thats the one, some of our fans thought it was below us to go in to the lower leagues for him at the time

Its not over til its over, but i do understand your position and perhaps dont want to think you are right

Exactly what i thought as well

In our history NO, in our recent history...not sure as it will not mean relegation for certain, so NO

Jason yes it has been said that LC was going to close the corners and stop the free buses.As a man who plays to the crowd, would he though???

Chris Nicholl was cursed by following LM, had he been appointed after Branfoot he would have been manager for years.I played tennis with him and am told he is now playing the professional veterans tennis circuit. At the time there were fans saying he was buying for division2 , especially when he bought the full back Gerry ???? We had been used to KK ,Channon and Balls and didnt like not having the big name signings.Shows the fans dont chnge.

Not outspoken, easy natured Lol. I was not fooled by the Wilde bunch, I was on the former forums debating with FF , Ump Alps, and many more saying to them to watch out for the carpet baggers and not to fall into the trap of 'anyone but Lowe.' If you really believe that football and business is not connected then you are 1 sucker and no doubt would fall for time share sellers,cold callers telling you have won free holidays and Nigerian bankers who need a short term loan.(I dont believe you are ) Football is a business, it has been for generations.SFC was a cosy gentlemans club 30years ago and it now is just more open with it now. You, like myself and Jonah and FF ,Ump etc love the club.We are all fools because we feel that in some way are attached to it like a family member.If it was called McDonalds FC we would at this time (Last 3years) now be supporting BurgerKing Fc as the quality had dropped and the service poor. In my 40 years of going to saints (started when i was 8-9 years old) I have spent too much of my life fretting about us.At Shirley school the teachers used my love of football and saints to punish me if my work was not up to scratch or i had wronged, by stoppoing me playing or getting my parents to stop me goingto an evening match to do homework.i have nights awake worrying that we were going down from the PL or reliving the Tranmere game over in my head after losing a 3 goal lead for days afterwards,being upset as another hero had left the club and what finally woke me up to the idiocy of my passion when a tv remote control went smashing against the lounge wall after Bolton scored a last minute equaliser. This stupid loyalty and feeling an affinity to it and many other things made me an easy target for the business side of the club. 'Dad can I have a pair of jeans?' 'No I'm not paying that, its a rip off, they are £30' then 10 minutes later 'dad can I have a saints shirt? 'Yeah heres the £35 .' I hope you can see where Im coming from, we are being played and have ALWAYS been whoever is in charge. We are suckers fools, idoiots and salesmens dreams as we we would never ask for a dicount as the money is going to 'our club' I want them all gone, the WHOLE lot as they do not deserve the fans we have.

can anyone tell me what the bloke behind is doing to the 1 standing on the right?Whatever it is he seems to be enjoying it.father and son go to game.

you are being hard on yourself Alpine. Comparing yourself to some week-old cow pat, you are fresher than that

I dont think RL is following anyones plan except his own.If not why would some want LC back. I fully understand the logic and need to try the youth, but Jan made the mistake of youth only and a rigid formation. i was not pro NP but I was happy for him to stay because the fans were behind him.To me they gave him an easy ride compared to others, as if any other manger had taken us so close to relegation after taking the club from mid table they would be baying for his head.That said NP is doing a very good job and i will say better than I thought he would.

I suspect because their chairman doesnt need to sell, that they like many other players are far too good for L1 but not quite up to it in the CCC .Howard did do well for Derby for a short period.

Witty?? Intelligent yes but I dont think you can throw that at him.

who's that then and what does the banner look like?

Will that mean we might be favourites for the johnson paint trophy?

there were a lot who put we would be relegated by christmas, well that was wrong.I hope they are wrong at the end of the season as well

i've just had a text from my contact at leicester and he reliably tells me MM is picking the team

Im just a luv jason. I thought the last march was done with dignity and much to my surprise it wasn't hijacked by the fools. SRS 's idea I dont see the point of. you may as well organise the 2nd one to start at SMS at 2.50 and then march away. I try to think positives about our club and as a respect lady fan I spoke to at the Swansea game said 'there is no point unless we have a viable alternative'. That is what is so confusing for fans like myself who are not rabid anti RL, I can see why he made the cuts but am not for jans tenure and Wotte is too soon to judge.Is LC suitable? His actions seem to me as rabble rousing and whilst i can see he is well meaning I dont think he is any better than we have. At present we are still afloat and still able to get out of the position we are in, it is whether we as a club have the guts to get out of it.

I think Branfoot was not welcomed.

IMO Rudi made bale to look better than he was, and I dearly would love him to show us what he really is capable of.I still dont think he is a defender and wonder what positin he played when he did so well at Hearts.Silly question but have we tried him where he played best? ps did you like my compliment

i thought there was clauses that you can recall loans if needed.Reading recalled one from us didnt they?

that sadly is true, if we had drawn it would have been why didnt we go for a win and of course had we won it would have been ,'well it was only against 10 men' Thats football fans for you

Dont take this as a compliment, lol, but you wouldnt need to be told that because you are intelligent enough to realise it. Rudi had the fans eating out of his hand and sang his name whatever, I dont think he has quite yet repaid any of that devotion.

i wasnt there or couldnt bear to lsten, wrre those things you mention before or after we equalised?
