There is little to no chance of us keeping a clean sheet at Goodison. How they didn't hit double figures yesterday at Swansea I don't know.

What they thought (Opposition Fan Views thread)

Aston Villa - The new Liverpool...? I wasn't aware I was supposed to give a minute applause to random people suffering from Leukaemia. I might just walk around clapping 24/7. Wouldn't want anyone thinking I had no respect m'lord. -
No. We need a 50,000 seater. There were probably just a lot of weddings yesterday, hence why there weren't 20,000 locked out the ground.

Can we just introduce a large predator to control the badgers? Bring back wolves I say.

Does this mean we are now officially the new Barcelona? -
Some of the stuff posted on here really is astonishing.

Nobody was to know that. We took a big gamble sacking him and Newcastle took an even bigger gamble hiring him. If we sack Adkins now, get a manager in who actually addresses our areas of weakness in January and guides us to a mid-table finish, then sacking NA would also be a good decision. Who knows, Adkins could well keep us up but is NC willing to take that gamble, or will he gamble on a more experienced manager doing the business?

Hardly his fault. Everyone around them was getting Billionaire Arabs, they got some stingy Yanks - all the other teams around them kicked on and they fell behind as they couldn't match the spending power. I bet Liverpool fans wish now that Benitez had stayed on and the new board armed him with a £100m kitty, rather than King Kenny.

I imagine the atmosphere will be the same as always, deathly silence in 3 stands - everyone sat rigid like statues and the Northam trying their best to make a bit of a racket. Then if we fall behind the other 3 stands will boo the team off at HT and the ground will be virtually empty come the fall time whistle.

How have Liverpool fared since he's left? They've been on a downward spiral and he gave them their best period since the 80's. He's also won La Liga (twice I think) with Valencia, out muscling the likes of Real and Barca. He signed the likes of Torres, Alonso and Reina who were fantastic for them. Anyone who think's he's not a great manager is quite simply an idiot.

Personally I'd love to see Benitez come in. A big time manager whose been there, done it and won it. Adkins was brought in to get us promoted, he's done that and I reckon deep down he knew he wouldn't last too long into this season - hence why bar the £7m he wasted on J Rod, virtually all the signings would have been done by NC - sign a quick African on the off chance he's the new Cisse and sign a high profile Asian player so we can open a Japanese Twitter account and try and cash in. A few bad results and the constant nonsense he talks in his interviews was always going to lead to the media start to apply a bit of pressure on him early doors, interesting to see if NC reacts. I think he will.

How long before you become worried?
This Charming Man replied to doddisalegend's topic in The Saints
I was worried when we failed to sign a 'keeper, LB and a proven CB. -
No, I'll be getting the rattler. The train doesn't leave from Waterloo... honest...

Laaaaavly. -
You can have it but you must first sing a full version of 'The Sash My Father Wore' outside the Emirates.

Get to experience some lovely areas as well.

I may have a spare but if you think any of you drips are having it, you're having a laugh.

Plymouth away when we all but guaranteed promotion, a mate of a mate bought 2x tickets for a tenner outside. Brighton away last season a mate got given 2x tickets by some bird who got bored of trying to even give them away. Tickets for both those games were like gold dust.

Please don't.

Well you weren't. Therefore those that did go deserve a ticket ahead of yourself.

Taken at the Euros and I can even see myself in the picture - superb stuff and I'm proud to have been a part of that. -

That's because there is no one else to move forward with at the moment - bar Wilshire if he can get himself fit. Gerrard wasn't great the other night but was a different class at the Euros, Lampard scored twice and Terry did all he needed to (granted it was very little given the nature of the opposition). If Cleverley is the future of our midfield, then god help us. They're still the best we've got so no point at all in dropping any of them just yet and I fully expect all 3 to be in Brazil. -

You really are a cretin. I was out in Moldova with numerous other Saints fans, we all sang our National Anthem with pride - arms open wide, chest puffed. Why is it ridiculous as a football fan following my country abroad and singing? Also, how does it not have anything to do with England?
