... you would like to Gunge.

 

If you could Get Your Own Back on 3 ex-Saints, who would it be?

 

1) Harry Redknapp

2) Matt Le Tissier

3) Sammy Saint

 

I dont understand how Redknapp was so bad at St Mary's he has done well at other clubs.

 

Listened to him before and after the Slovenia game on BBC 1 and was very impressed with his contibutions but he was useless when we got relegated

Take your pick...

 

OK, enough of the silliness. The OP must be turning in his grave.

 

How about an A-Z of the worst people associated with Saints? Please help me fill in the gaps (special prizes for Q and X).

 

Askham - Worst chairman ever. Sold our club down the river for 30 pieces of silver, and still managed to slime his way into a director's position, and payroll, for years after. An absolute ****.

 

Branfoot - What more can be said? Second worst manager ever. Treated MLT like ****, and seemed to enjoy selling our best players, and replacing them with ****e. What a bastard.

 

Calum Davenport - The bed of sand that our defense was built on in the disastrous relegation year. Took the prize for being the worst of a bad bunch of players that year, and on top of that, is called Calum. What a ****.

 

Delap - Record signing and did **** all for us, and was sold for a princely sum of £0. What an investment. On top of that, his pathetic long throws, that resulted in the princely total of 1 goal for us, are now deadly weapons for Stoke, FFS. A complete *****.

 

Everton - Cheated us out of a cup semi-final (and surely final) win, scoring a goal by Adrian bloody Heath in the dying minutes. What a bunch of ****s they were that year.

 

Fish fiddlers - Enough said, especially TCWTB. Nauseating, and downright dangerous.

 

Gray - Third worst manager ever. Completely inept and clueless, and got the job full time because (a) managed a couple of wins against ManUre and Arse, who both at the time had nothing to play for, and (b) because Lowe was an idiot.

 

Hoddle - MLT scores a hattrick in B international, and could've had 10 more. So what does this **** do? Yes, not pick him, picking Darren Bloody Anderton instead. Oh yes, and went along with the great English tradition of "why practise penalties, you can't replicate them a real match?" England get knocked out by penalties, again. MLT was rather good at penalties, wasn't he Hoddle? You ****er.

 

Ian Brennan - The Milan Mandaric sculpture: enough said.

 

Jan Poortvliet - The first pair of the Dutch duo (aka Jokers) who were Lowe's hair-brained "revolutionary coaching set up". Not content with coming back against almost everyone's wishes after leaving Saints in a mess from his first stint, the ruddy cheeked one immediately got rid of a good young manager who had (except to Lowe luvvies) impressively saved Saints from relegation the season before, (and proved himself to be a great success at Mad Milan's Leicester). It was done out of pure spite (NP was a Crouch hire), and his Dutch replacement's previous accomplishments could be written on the back of a matchbox (with room to spare). As many here predicted, Poortvliet was a disaster, and was replaced by the other of the disastrous pair of jokers.

 

Kerry Dixon and David Speedie - Horrible. Part of Branfoot's laughable double replacement for Shearer: complete waste of money, and while Dixon at least tried, the lazy bastard Speedie didn't even do that. Shearer sold and replaced by this pile of ****?

 

Lowe - Where to begin? Large squads of crap players with low wages instead of smaller squad of good players with higher wages, two relegations and an administration, never once seriously looked for investment, an ego the size of uranus, getting rid of an excellent young manager for spite only, the revolutionary coaching set up, going into administration a few days after the point carry-over date for spite only. Second only to Askham for being a **** of the highest order.

 

Mad Milan Mandaric - A bastard of the highest order. Helped P***** to drag themselves out of the lower divisions (where they belonged) by spending beyond their means, and sending us Saggy Chops to get us relegated: the thumbs up at the capitulation at Krap Nottarf was taking the piss. His only positive was that he detested Lowe as much as we did.

 

N -

 

O -

 

P***** - CHEATING BASTARDS. Please HMRC, don't **** it up. We're counting on you. See the 5000 page thread on the lounge for details.

 

Q -

 

Redknapp - Worst manager ever. An absolute **** of the highest possible order. Did everything he could do get us relegated, and succeeded: laughable training sessions, buying crap players, slagging off (and dropping) his best players, with the cherry on top of the turd being his thumbs up to Mad Milan at Krap Nottarf.

 

Sourpuss - Horrendous manager, who managed to fool some fans into thinking he was competent, thanks to the MLT-inspired 6-3 win against 10 man ManUre. The rest of that season was ****, and we escaped relegation by the skin of our teeth despite this lousy manager, not because of him. Buggered off at the end of the season, and was an abject failure everywhere else. Oh, and did I mention Ali Dia?

 

Tinman - Nice chap, but knackered even before we wasted money on this complete waste of space.

 

Uwe Rosler - Sums up Hoddle's ability in the transfer market.

 

Venables - Slimy, nasty piece of work. Virtually ignored MLT when he was in his prime, and along with Hoddle destroyed MLT's chance of a glorious international career.

 

Wilde - The tee shirts said it all - moron.

ohh here we go, (rubs hands gleefully!) another A-Z!!!

 

A - Azzurri, Italian for blue, a nation which has a reputation for turncoats, which Micheal Wilde turned out to be.

B - Blue, English for blue, which in Italian is Azzurri, a nation which has a reputation for turn Coats which Micheal WIlde turned out to be

C - Cannevaro- Italian defender, a nation which has a reputation as turncoats, which Micheal Wilde turned out to be

D - decitful, what an incoming chairman might be considered if he promised investment and never delivered it, then switched sides to back the guy he outsted, in an Italian turncoat sort of way

E- Empoli, a team in the Italian league, which has players which given the choice would switch side to a side more likely to win, which is what Wilde did

F - Fila, an Italian fashion label, worn by terrace casuals in England, although a lot moved to Serigo Tachini, another italian label when that got popular, which is probablhy what Micheal Wilde would have done given his history for switching sides

G - Gelaticos, what Real Madrid call their star players, one of which is Kaka, who played for AC Milan in the Italian league, but switched sides when the going got tough at Milan, in the same way Micheal Wilde did when the going got tough at Saints

H - hear of, what the british army never does of the Italian army in times of crisis, just like we didn't of Micheal wilde when saints were in crisis

I - Italy, probably where Micheal Wilde orgiantes from, given his ethics

J - Jelapionos, a type of ingredient you might find on a Pizza, which originates from Italy, who have a habit of switching sides when the going gets tough, just like a former saints chairman

K - Kilimangiro, a mountain in Africa, which is the same contient at Libya, which was an Italian colony once, until they gave it up, which is strikingly similar to what a saints chairman did of any power he had at Saints when things got tough

L - Liverpool the team MIcheal Wilde really supports, who won the European cup against Roma in Rome in 1984 after the Italians bottled it on penalties, which by conicedence is the same chartiestics Micheal Wilde used to show in board meeting with Rupert Lowe (alledgedly)

M - Mafia, and italian crime organisation, not known for backing down, giving up or not looking after their own, something Micheal Wilde cannot relate too

N - Naples, a ciy in Italy which after the exarchate fell a Duchy of Naples was created; though Naples continued with its Greco-Roman culture, it eventually switched allegiance (surprise surprise) under Duke Stephen II to Rome rather than Constantinople, putting it under papal suzerainty by 763, remind you of anyone???

O - offside, what the linesman decision was yesterday on italys 'goal' which would have made the score 2-2 and put the Ities through. As it turned out the gave up and let in a third goal anyway, so they quit, which is exactly what Micheal Wilde did when things got tough for him at Saints

P- Pasta - the staple food for Italians, a nation which has a reputation of turncoats, which is exactly what Micheal Wilde is

Q - Queers- what Mussolini tried to outs in Italy when he wasn't trying to switch sides during the second world war, probably an idiology shared by side switching Micheal Wilde

R - Rimini- a holiday resort in Italy which many Italians would go to to get over a year of quiting, MIcheal WIlde probably has a holiday home there

S- Sierie A- the name given to the Italian top flight, which is the english equvilent of the premier league, which Micheal Wilde said he would take saints, until he quit, just like an italian

T - The Stade Dell Alpi- The stadium of the Alps, home of Juventus the biggest team in Italy, who play in black and white, white, by coicidence is the colour of the flag Micheal Wilde waved to Rupert Lowe when put under a bit of pressure

V - vesuvius, a large volcano in southern Italy which destoryed the ancient City of Pompeii 1900 years ago, although it would take much less than a volcano eruption, maybe just a few harsh words, for Micheal Wilde to let his hold on saints be destroyed.

X - Xavi, a spanish footballer, who was the envy of top Italian Sides but decided to stay loyal to his club, unlike a certain Saints chairman

Y - Yes- trasenlated into Italian is Si, something micheal Wilde could not help saying everytime Rupert Lowe asked anything of him during their tenour

Z - Zidane, played for top Italian side Juventus but then when offered a better deal at Real bite their hand off, just like a certain Saints chairman did when RL offered him 30 pieces of silver to betray his saints ideology.

and those that i missed....

 

W- Welsh, the nationality of Joe Calzaghie, one of the great boxers these shores has ever produced, although he has Italian roots and was trained by an Italian whose training tips would not have included, giving up, backing down or quiting. Sometihng Mr Wilde could learn from

 

U - Ultras, name give to Italian hooligans, particularly the rome based one are famous for having influcence over their clubs board rooms, also not known to suffer fools gladly, which is what they wouldn't have done to Mr Wilde

Redknapp, Branfoot and Chris Nicholl - the later for wasting the legacy that McMenemy left behind.

 

hmmm, thats a bit harsh, if my memory is correct he inherited an aging team and was told to reduce the wage bill?? and if only we'd been able to keep that 89/90 team together......
