Underdogs.

[saint_bert]

On tonights One Show they were talking about underdogs. Phil Daniels was on there, and being a Chelsea fan said he doesnt know what he preferes Chelsea winning occasionally and the feeling turning over a big team brings, or Chelsea sream rolling everyone like they do these days.

 

This got me thinking. Would I swap us beating teams like Manu 6-3 and Liverpool 2-0 every so often (not recently granted, but last seasons 2-0 win against Bristol City maybe) for winning every week and finding it maybe a little bit boring.

 

I wouldnt change a damn thing to be honest. But hey maybe im a sucker for punishment?

 

Anyway whats everyones thoughts on this?

I dont care if we are the underdogs,or firm favourites for the Champoins League,as long as we start winning games.

Glad to see the art of debate is still alive and well.

I was serious about what I posted.

I would like us to get back to the team that used to give the big boys a bloody nose every so often (and I don't mean Bristol City).

I think a measure of how far we've fallen is evident when you consider this weekend's opponents. In years gone by, particularly the 80s, when we had a game away at Arsenal, Liverpool or Man U there was always the optimism amongst Saints fans that we could go to those places and, if not get a decent result, at least compete. Even in the 90s, when we weren't of the same standard as under Lawrie Mac, there was hope (and sometimes achievement - i.e. wins at Anfield and that 3-3 at Old Trafford).

 

Now I look at the game on Saturday against the 'mighty' Reading, who are considerably better than us in a division below the elite, and my only thought is 'please don't get stuffed'. Such a shame.
