At what point does winning every game get tedious?

Seriously, I'd like to know. I've spent almost 40 years accepting that my Saturday evenings (and since the premier league, Saturday lunchtimes, Sunday lunchtimes and evenings and possibly Monday nights) will be mostly ruined by the saints result, occasionally interspersed with an uplifting result, and even more occasionally with an outstanding result against a top team.

This year? Turn up and win, turn up and win. It's so monotonous it's almost boring. I can't get my head around it. How's a saints fan meant to react? I genuinely don't know what I'm meant to do. Please help me.

Never. Absolutely ******* NEVER.

Mind you this Saturday afternoon buzz is really odd. It just ain't in our DNA as Saints fans.

At about the same time you realize you have TOO much money.

After the 38th game, when we got a CL spot.......

I would be happy to let you know when I get bored by winning, but I am going to be dead before that happens which makes it a bit tricky to help you, sorry

TBF we've been winning pretty regularly ever since the take over, bar our first season back in the PL, my kids have grown up used to saints winning on a regular basis. It never gets boring though........

Saints are making up for that record people used to post on here before Markus took over. Something along the lines of us having one of the poorest winning percentages in English league football.

Who's laughing now !

30 years ago we were one of the best two TEAMS in the country we are almost that again.

In all honesty, I would be bored of winning if we had gone the City or Chelski route......Doing it the right way, by developing talent and buying wisely, that's just priceless, and would never get old if we can continue that way.

Did you get bored in League 1 and the Championship when we were winning most of our matches? I certainly didn't!

table does not lie we are currently the second best team in the country ! #wemarchon

I'm f-cking laughing. Laughing at the 4 L's: Bin Dippers, Lallana, Lovren, Lambert. L is for Losers you chumpheads :-)

And most of all I'm laughing at that dickhead Rogers. Most excellent!

It's causing me all sorts of problems. At this rate we will be able to finish 17th by Christmas.

Steady on now, that kind of thing tends to come back and bite you on the arse.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.

We've got a long way to go yet to make up for all those years of depression.

What planet are you on?

Absolutely never.

So-called 'first world' problem! If the biggest problem you have is that we're winning all the time and you can't quite process it...you've got it made. And, more than that, it's not a problem. Rejoice. Enjoy. Go out and smell the flowers. Eat some chocolate and celebrate.

Don't normally go I for schadenfreude, but feck me I did enjoy Lallana on the bench, LOLvren having a mare and Rodgers squirming in post match interviews.

Just a few years back I was driving home happy with a late draw at Carlisle, and now Will Hill make us a shorter price than Liverpool for a top 4 finish. Been a great journey, and thoroughly deserved after the years of dross football and late escapes - as entertaining as they were in retrospect.

funny you should say that, I was a kid back when that was the case and through the bad times I always used to wish I had been older in the early eighties to appreciate it better. Well now I can really appreciate what's going on cos this run has been one of my highlights as a Saints fan for over 35 years !

I liked Phil Thompson on the Sky website:

Southampton are the new Liverpool. They can still win when playing below par.

You know what Dalek, that is the first time your '17th' thing has actually made me LOL.

I'm already bored, I vote we lose every game for the rest of the season.

Bored.....are you kidding.

I have too many memories like being laughed at by Watford fans during a wet, midweek cup game, dismal capitulation at Pompey, losing 3-0 in the cold rain at Blackburn, having our asses handed to us at Everton, humiliatingly turned over at Tranmere and Bristol Rovers (SRL had a good one for them that day), more dreary away defeats than I care to remember and plenty of home ones too.

Sounds like you've been following Saints as long as I have.

We've paid our dues, it's time for some long overdue fun.

Enjoy it.

30 years ago we were one of the best two TEAMS in the country we are almost that again.

Agreed

Sorry but I just can't seem to understand how "winning all the time" and "tedious" can

be used about Saints in the same sentence.

The only time it it might slightly apply to Saints would be in say 30 years time if Saints

won every game until then and I am still not 100% convinced even then.

Ummm, how about, never?

I took my nephew to his first saints game at Wembley for the JPT. He previously 'supported' Arsenal.

At the FT whistle he asked if it was always this exciting being a saints supportter. My reply was no, enjoy it.

Turns out I was talking rubbish and it has got better and better and better.

Youll be glad to know he is now a season ticket holder and goes to as many away games as he can afford.

Good lad

What a ridiculous question.

It's beyond belief.

Well I love it long may it continue. We are a different beast these days, I found myself saying in second half we won't win this. Then immediately

said no plenty of time to win this and sure enough we did. But it's hard to get over years of blowing it, but it's a nice feeling going into games

feeling confident we can get a positive result. I don't think I'd ever get bored of this.

We've earnt this.

My lads first game was the promotion clincher against Coventry. He witnessed a full-house, four goals, a promotion and went on the pitch. At that point I assumed everything else would be an anti-climax for him. Now it looks like just the start.

Our odds for winning the Premier League have shortened a smidge from 1000/1 http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/winner

As perennial strugglers (but for a long time survivors, hence the Roger's Profanisaurus entry of "do a Southampton") in the Premier League the concept of us being bored with winning is nuts.

Well you know what that means.

A W next followed by an L and then 6 more W's ....

Never!

Don't be a penis

Well you know what that means.

 

A W next followed by an L and then 6 more W's ....

I could accept that.

We've earnt this.

We have, that's the best thing about it!

i really don't see why we should be scared of December. Or any team at all.

It will get boring about the time P*mpey get back in the Premier League.

So, in other words, never.

I will get bored when we have to buy a win and not develop it

I understand what you are saying but it will not last for long so lets be happy about the way the results are coming in

In all honesty, I would be bored of winning if we had gone the City or Chelski route......Doing it the right way, by developing talent and buying wisely, that's just priceless, and would never get old if we can continue that way.

Have to agree with this, however, on a much smaller scale we did when we were in league 1 and the championship, were we not known as the Man City of league 1 for a while, although as Ohio wrote we still brought on the young in house talent as well.

We've earnt this.

On remembrance weekend let's remember that there are legions of football fans all over the country who are loyally supporting little clubs that have never achieved anything important or indeed won a damn thing. Have those fans also not 'earned' some kind or reward? Our wilderness years in the lower reaches of the Football League proved to be a relatively short interruption in this clubs recent history - for so many others it remains a permanent fixture in their footballing lives.

No, we are where we are today thanks to a combination of Leibherr money, good fortune and one hell of a lot of hard work. But to quote a memorable line from one of my favourite films - deserving's got nothing to do with it ...

I'm afraid having been going for over 40 years I just can't believe it will continue. Every game I think "this is the one where the wheels fall off". I so desperately want to enjoy this but that nagging feeling is always there.

Can't get bored as it's not about the winning...thats the product of witnessing some great football and the challenges that keep on presenting themselves. The next one is whether we can compete and win against the 'big' teams. Then if we do finish top four whether we can make mark in Europe. Plus there's the question of silverware...when will we see another cup win? And so on...there are so many achievements potentially yet in store but to get them we've got to keep on winning...no reason to get bored!?

I dont think the wheels will come off I just dont think everything will always go right and we will win all our games but from about ten years ago for five years I was quite despondent so it is quite nice to have had five years of relative success
