Saint George

Jimmie Driftwood captured part of that war well.......immortalized by Johnny Horton We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin. There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. We fired once more and they began to runnin' on Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go. They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

The US had either been asked for assistance or already had a dog in the fight in all the above. You can add the 2 world wars to that as well...I don't see anyone from the US government, even the current one requesting advice from limeys on gun control....You lot sold most aspects of freedom you had down the river years ago, that's your prerogative, you wanted government in every aspect of your lives and you got it. Just get on with it and accept other cultures have chosen to live a different way. @rpb .........To learn, first you need to understand and 'understanding' other cultures is something limey's have been historically **** poor at.....Just check out this thread for instance...full of clueless idiots trying to dictate how people in another country and totally unconnected should live their lives without the slightest clue how life here maybe different to the UK .....Most of you can't even hear the word "soccer" or a "z" where you use a "s" without sneering...It's not the 'British' way so it has to be wrong! right? Well guess what?....most people here don't give a flying **** what you think, or how much you sneer.

The one thing i can't fathom out here is why y'all care so much?.....It seems Brits historically have had a problem with keeping their noses out of other peoples business.....What happens here has fukc all to do you, nothing, nadda, so there's no point in crying and wringing your hands about it... There's a damned good reason you lot were sent packing back in 1776 and again in 1814...Most of us understand there's a big responsibility that comes with freedom and that will sometimes comes at a cost. But in the main we're happy with the way it is and much to the liberals disgust, our freedom has cast iron protection from a written Constitution and thankfully nothings changing anytime soon. In the mean time you lot would probably be better off wringing your hands over some the major issue's you have closer to home...issues that maybe if you spent less time time poking your noses into things that don't concern you, you could maybe do something about.

Capital expenditure like the training ground is really ever paid down over one or two accounting years.....Think 10-15 years or more, similar to when we had a mortgage on SMS......Or in other words a drop in the ocean considering the current TV money and player sales.

So you're saying the current Saints team are playing with style, cohesion and belief?....really?...No wonder you thought Wilde would be such a good deal for Saints. Last years success was built in the first half of the season while the surviving players from the mass exodus still had some influence from the Bielsa philosophy and Pochittino fitness levels...We were at least still pressing to some degree, defending a high line and quick in transition, and had a degree of belief.....all of which faded as the season wore on and the team became more Koeman's than Pochettino's This season's team is 100% Koeman's....and look's more like Redknapp's team than Pochittino's

Not from me....His management style seems to much in the mold of Harry Rednap for me (without the dodgy dealings and brown envelopes) The apparent lack of fitness training and dropping our pressing game right from the start were the first alarm bells...After a full season under RK we're now playing like a group of 11 individuals just left to get on with it. We seem devoid of any cohesion, style, or belief.

So what part in particular is crap? Les didn't say we are a "showcase club"? Rickie didn't say "it could have been so different"? We're not up on transfer dealings to the tune of 40m+ over the last year while the playing squad gets progressively worse? If you don't match the drive and ambition of driven and ambitious athletes they'll go somewhere that will? Most of the ethos this club has been rebuilt on over the last 5 years hasn't been consigned to the garbage can? Sure, the talk's there, but the walk's long gone, that went with Cortese and Potchitino. As their influence fades we're left with Les's faffing, Ralphs waffle and a man in a grey suit...Oh and Kat's ever bulging purse full of transfer fees. Don't worry, you'll probably get it one day

Why would they?.....It's been made clear to them they're not here to win things but merely showcase their abilities for the benefit of potential clients in the transfer market and thus ensure Big Kat's big purse gets ever bigger.... Straight out the same Les Reed book of 'psychology and achievement' that's made just about every decent player we had run for the hills. To quote the great one....."It could have been so different"

Way worse than Lowe IMO...At least Lowe tried to build something....This lot are just clueless leeches

Maybe they don't care that much any more.....Maybe like a lot of our players over the last year, they've come to realize that no matter what they do or how hard they work or try, they're still going to be shat on from above with either incompetence or lack of ambition.

Won't matter who we put on the field in the long run...As soon as it sinks in with players that the only remaining ambition within the product is to fill big Kat's purse as much and as fast as possible, they drop their game and plan their exit strategy...just like all those before them. 0-3 to big Kats personal bean counters.

I heard it was a shade under $1b Great news. At one stage it looked like Fox had secured the deal, that would have been a freaking disaster

The cool aid's strong in this one

And bang on queue comes a post from the Coward with no balls fresh from his bedroom bunker......Yes peeps, the masterpiece you see above really does come from an 'ex' school teacher (can anyone guess why the ex?)....And Mr "Bedroom General"...please change that ridiculous selfie avatar of yours...The yellow streak is so blinding it would still be seen if you were on ignore

Have you spoken to any one recently?...mention Southampton and you get the same response...who they selling next? or what's going on at that club? etc..Definitely a different reaction from even a year ago.......Like i said, we're getting away with it for the moment, mainly due to Koeman......That won't always be the case

We now have a world wide reputation as a feeder club, a club that can't keep hold of it's best players, a club who's ambition is nothing more than to remain in the Premier league to make money from player sales....We were fortunate to secure Koeman's services when we did, and also fortunate he appears to be an honorable man and will probably see out his contract...But when he's gone what Coach with any self respect is going to want to come manage a store front? ex JC Penny or Macy's managers maybe? We may appear to be getting away with it for now, but our newfound reputation is going to come back and bite us in the ass for sure. Don't expect to be winning anything with a team full of shop mannequins....Winning takes some belief and ambition and that needs to start from the top.

No it doesn't.....The infamous UK welfare trap is just a symptom of over reliance on the Nanny State....Peeps could do as they do here and many other places and either work a second job or go learn a skill that will give them the ability to earn more money......Taking personal responsibility for your situation and not being reliant on total strangers, some of who, are worse off than you to bail you out is good for your soul.

Add the Grey man to list too....

So under Big Kat, Wreck it Ralph and Lier Lez, we've been reduced to nothing more than a feeder club for the top half of the prem (Liverpool, Swansea and Spurs are not top 4)....Glad everyone's comfy with that. Sheez, how thing's have changed since Cortese's drive and ambition left the Club, no wonder we can't keep any of our decent players......Going to take some getting used to, seeing the Cherries as top dogs on the south coast....Their Chairman's got what it takes for sure..

So tell me why you think those poor working class families should pay for 'your' kids to attend an elite institution?

"There you were talking about the way you would fight and incite others to do the same when it is clear that you would not move from your computer." Judge Mitchell 2004 And still the same coward hurling insults from your bedroom computer 10 years later....how the hell did they let you back around kids?

Fact...Morgan is still here due to fan pressure.....Fan pressure that made them consider the potential backlash if Morgan were to go....You, on the other hand were doing you do best....Cowering in your bedroom while others were getting it done.

Yeah...'Wreck it' comparing Southampton with 13 times Champions Green Bay Packers really demonstrated he's found a clue.
