chrisobee Posted 14 August, 2009 Share Posted 14 August, 2009 Perhaps all Saints fans should request a free bet ! Anyway as always Matt refers to Saints as "we" and this is his League 1 assessment: https://www.sportingbet.com/t/LeTissier/matt.aspx LEAGUE ONE What a star studded line up League One is this season, I can’t remember it ever being this competitive. Firstly I have to start with my old club Southampton, the appointment of Alan Pardew is a decent appointment and his experience higher up the pyramid will hold him in good stead. But with of course the 10 point deduction hanging over our heads it’s gonna be a tough old season and we need to get off to a flyer and get rid off that penalty quickly. To be honest I think the play-offs will be the best we can hope for. My tip for glory is LEEDS, Simon Grayson will have a full season in charge this time and I think they have a strong squad. The loss of Fabian Delph is a blow but I think they’ll be fine. Lee Clark looks like a young manager with a big future and I except a bold show from his Huddersfield side at 8/1. As discussed there are some massive clubs in the division this year and only a fool would write off Charlton and Norwich from the equation. Those fans expect success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as a betting site perhaps punters should be told of our lack of suitable preparation. May affect their confidence in backing us don't you think. The reason for the lack of preparation is open to debate but IMO..well I think you know. Anyway 'plank' I maybe but I'm guessing my betting accounts are looking a lot healthier than yours if you base your strategies on this type of in depth analysis.

Apologies - you are of course correct - you have not imposed your agenda on half of the threads here. However - my point remains extant, as many of those that you have chosen to comment on, you have (in my opinion) done so to further your own agenda points, whilst adding nothing of worth to the thread. My point again. If you want to be controversial - then by all means do so. But have the balls to post your controversial views yourself, and not twist other peoples views to air your own.

I'm afraid that we don't need people like you for a season like this. In reference to the real thread: Yes, 'tiss nice (see what I did there?) I like him refering to us as 'we'. For the best part so far, since the takeover, it's really starting to feel like we're all heading in the right direction and (almost) seeing things in the same light. With the players coming in (the latest youngster sounds decent) and the way the club is presenting itself it's difficult to find moans. You can gauge this by the topic of thread that's poping up at the moment. Things like: Isn't the OS a bit **** and I don't like the video player, instead of really cutting topics relating to our players and staff.

Also interesting he didn't mention he is one of the greatest players of our history, who has never shown anything but loyalty and good intentions towards the club who happened to make a human error of judgment whilst doing everything possible to help the club, and that ninety nine point nine percent of fans realise and appreciate that whilst a miniscule number seem small minded and pathetic enough to make an issue of it, but those people are selfish, ungrateful, spiteful and ignorant idiots. But then, I guess that would be a little long winded for Sporting Bet, which is why I said it here for him instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice he also didn't mention the fluoride value of the water the players drink and it's affect on their dental health? You see, he is paid to be concise. You find it disrespectful that people criticise you, but you don't see the disrespect in singling out one error of judgment in someone who has done so much for the club and repeating it ad nauseum.

Of course it's not even necessary to warn anyone about our delayed preperation, I'm guessing you don't bet much as if you did I'm sure you'd lose if you weren't aware of that type of basic information, rather like not being aware you're backing a 3 legged horse!. Still that's another whole subject in itself. I can say I have never ( at least not deliberately) challenged anyone's right to a reasonable opinion and to voice it. As someone famous once said, I think it was the historian AJP Thompson, whilst he would argue with someone he did not agree with he would fight with his dying breath to allow the person the right to that opinion. On the whole reasonable people would accept that though of course there are obvious boundaries not to cross in terms of racist, homophobic opinions and comments etc; However, the MLT/Pinnacle thing has been done to death, as far as I'm concerned it's in the past and unless there is good reason to raise it then why do it. In this case I'm assuming you thought the fact he had posted that article gave cause to raise the issue again, I don't agree as I'm entitled to do so.

Smirking_Saint Posted 15 August, 2009 Share Posted 15 August, 2009 Thing is it is a fair enough point, i mean, he was 'involved' in the lynham 'look at me' moment that was doomed from the off, although we all had our hands clasped together praying it would work out (including me) and for a while we were all blind to Pinnacles obvious failings, i suspect this is what MLT also suffered from, having saints so firmly to heart he failed to see he was only being used to give a tyre kicking time waster a bit of credance in the public eye. It is also however a blatant attempt at trolling, guys, we all know he is a bell end, sat at the end of a hospital ward for his hour or so out time typing on the keyboard looking for a reaction. Each and every one of us still bites however, (me included, i know i am being hypocritical ) Just ignore him, it will soon stop if each and everyone of us put him on ignore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also doesn't go into the financial trouble that Charlton are in or the 12 players that Norwich have signed. It is simply a short summary of his tips for the season. He can hardly go into every detail of our situation and brush over all the other teams, he has to remain relatively impartial.

LostBoys Posted 15 August, 2009 Share Posted 15 August, 2009 Apart from the obvious - Numpty/Sumdunce is an idiot - I thought it was established in the numerous threads at the time that MLT was approached by Fry to join Pinnacle as Fry felt it needed a 'name' to front the bid. He was apparently given proof of funds by Fry but the backers who provided the proof evaporated when they saw the scale of the problems in the Information Memorandum. I keep Numpty on 'Ignore' - I find if you do that the world is a better place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
