NickG Posted 19 February, 2010 Share Posted 19 February, 2010 http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=15658 With the plaudits that our performance in FA cup received. With fact that we are aiming to sell 44,000 tickets for JPT final Fact we are there! Players that are getting good reviews; Lambert, Lallana Manager who media speak highly of Ownership getting only positive press. We may still be scrambling around the gutter but looking to the stars! I stand by wanting our position over the skates and am still pretty proud to be red and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedAndWhite91 Posted 19 February, 2010 Share Posted 19 February, 2010 The person who runs the JPT twitter told me amongst other really positive things that Saints are the first team on his accumulator every week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voteforpedro Posted 19 February, 2010 Share Posted 19 February, 2010 Certainly the proudest I've been as a saints fan since the FA cup final 2003. Would take our position over any other team outside of the Premier League, and many in the top division, particularly that lot down the road.

BadgerBadger Posted 19 February, 2010 Share Posted 19 February, 2010 I like being a Saints fan......alot.........and it's all good, fine and dandy, happy clappy etc etc Does MTL have any links to the current setup, is he on the books, rolled out as an ambassador, match day speaker (when not on Sky) or such like?

Foxstone Posted 19 February, 2010 Share Posted 19 February, 2010 We may be bumping along in the third tier for now, but our potential and prospects are very very good. 1 year ago I was a wholly frustrated supporter of our club - Now I feel energised and proud to be a supporter again.

Joesaint Posted 19 February, 2010 Share Posted 19 February, 2010 I remember I had just moved to Andover when I was about 7 (stayed there 9 years!!) and at school for PE we would put on our football kit for a kick around and I was the only one in a saints kit and I took so much pride in this, I will always love saints and proud to be sotonian. You are right we are on the up and we all get to be a part of it, I can afford to see more games at the mo (have a ST which I would not be able to get in the prem) although prem is where I want saints to be.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 19 February, 2010 Share Posted 19 February, 2010 Fact is we're in L1 due to poor management at the top. It's gone - let it go. We're a L1 team. BUT SO WHAT!?!? I am hugely enjoying watching Saints now. This time last year I was seriously contemplating not renewing my ST and never coming back. I hated the club and its football THAT much. Compared to the Lowe dark days I am incredibly happy now, so much so I couldn't give a stuff what league we're in. Honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West End Saint Posted 19 February, 2010 Share Posted 19 February, 2010 Love being a Saint even when the sh1t was hitting the fan i was still going because I love going to footy and watching my team but this season has been great. So pleased we are getting our day out at Wembley thought our team and support was immense against the Cod Snoggers 3 30k + games this season if we keep the mometum going good things are round the corner. Whilst the Prem is the promised land I love seeing us win and next time we get there we will be able to compete. How lucky are we compared to the Blue few wouldnt swap places for all the Tea in China Up the Mighty Saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggface Posted 19 February, 2010 Share Posted 19 February, 2010 There are lots of reasons to be proud to be a saint & have enjoyed this season more than the last 5 or so. We have truely seen some very dark days which is why today things seem better than they are. We have along way to go as the Pompey game proved but we do appear to have an exciting future. Fingers crossed markus remains for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COYS You thought is was a Saints kit - it was an Andover kit really but at 7 you had no idea possibly. Stayed there for 9 years! Why at 13 did you think of leaving or did you stay until you were 16 because you actually had no choice in the matter being a minor and all that?

Why at 13 did you think of leaving or did you stay until you were 16 because you actually had no choice in the matter being a minor and all that? No we wore are own stuff when training, and yea I would remember. parents moved when I was 16 (9 years) as I was only 16 I moved with them to. My Dad took me to the Dell as well and I was a massive MLT and even a Timmy Flowers fan - being a kid in all. Do you think I would lie about this? what would be to point in that - try and prove I'm a saints fan! I always have been and always will be. This is where I am from and live now and I love it here, have my first ever season ticket (could never have one before as I was in the army REME. but when (hopefully) we get back to the prem I will only go to the games I can afford maybe cup ones I don't know.

Wes Tender Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 Come on Nineteen. This is a thread about feeling good to be a Saint and your contribution is to nit pick a post by another querying his own personal circumstances as to why he was in Andover when he was a kid. I have absolutely no qualms about stating that I have not been this content to be a Saints supporter for many years and I invite you to either join in and share your good feelings, or else tell us why you are not enjoying the current situation.

Dig Dig Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 basically..if we had won more matches It's a combination of not having the squad we have now at the start of the season, starting on -10 and not converting enough draws into wins lately. This doesn't mean that we are average, just a couple of tweaks away from being a very good side for this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
