If the penny hasn't drooped pal, it will soon. If you don't know anybody in the ticket office forget it! It's mates only. Just like at Wembley where all the best seats went to their pals and most of us top-price paying regular STHs got given crap.

According to this thread it seems the only qualifications needed to be "Saints Fan" at Wembley was to be a permanent p*sshead and an inconsiderate pea-brained Rrsole to boot... It would be nice to learn that a few went up there for more than the booze.

Somebody had to pour water on that small fire before it became a conflagration and engulfed us. That's two BIG fingers up to Samuels then! Bet the shot-stirring sid doesn't mention that in tomorrow's Wail. Nice one Alan!

Martin Samuel has only recently joined the Daily Wail and has struggled to prove he is worth the money they obviously had to pay to get him from The Thunderer. In general, he comes across as being a malcontent who always takes the opposite view to the norm. This article is deliberate sh*t stirring to de-stabilise the club before it's success becomes unstoppable wrapped up in a way that at first sight appears to be on the side of the supporters but it isn't and don't be fooled. Why else would Saints even get a mention in the Wail when they were in the premiership didn't even figure strong enough get more than a couple of lines, usually derogatory at that. Samuel is a loose cannon best ignored. Forget it!

My seats are in the dug-out alongside the subs - almost - so my lads will get their chance if things don't go to plan. I can't abide pitch level viewing which is why they're going and I'm not - to coin a phrase.

So Millwall beat Leeds 2-0 tonight, oh shioot soon there will be nobody left for us to catch. That slender thread of remaining hope is rapidly becoming the hangman's noose and guess who'd neck is being measured for size?

You're missing the point completely! We came down with Norwich and Charlton and barring unforeseen hiccoughs on the way they are gong back up again and we are not. We've spent £3million or more on players, they have not. Even without the points deduction we have 60, Norwich have 79 and Charlton have 67 so they are doing way better than us on no money and without the hoo-hah and razzmatazz. We are NOT in the play-offs even without the pints deduction. They've lost 6 each we've lost 8 We've won 16, Charlton have won 18 and Norwich have won 24 Just something to bear in mind next year when we will be the ONLY "BIG" TEAM in the Rs**hole called the 3rd Division. Still think it's unfair to criticise the manager?

Mine came this morning and guess what, I've been well and truly shafted with f****** awful seats even 'though I am a prime ST holder in the Itchen and applied early on Day One. I guess if you don't anybody in the ticket office you've got no chance of a decent seat. Anyway stuff that, I'm sick of being insulted by this club so I've already handed my tickets over to my lads to do what they like with but for sure this muggins won't be going.

Keeping me as a ST for another season will be an even bigger one! Today's result? Who gives a toss?

Antonio must stay. Waigo is absolute garbage, I'd like to see Perry stay and Thomas will be on his way. Just my opinion though...

I've just read the crap spilled out by Dean Wilkins on the OS today... What the **** is the Loonie on? We really are deep in the brown stuff when idiots like him come up with **** like that expect to be taken seriously by us. These must be desperate times indeed down in the office block at Staplewood. Nothing to do except put out good PR in case the BIG Boss hadn't notice we are playing crap. If Wilkins is becoming paranoid and certifiable, Pardew can't be far off... If your phones are dead when you pick 'em up in the morning lads you'll know your time is up. Don't call us we'll call you.

It wasn't very pretty to watch was it? There's no magic solution, we rely too much now on tireless running and pace and little else so we come unstuck with well organised defences and lack the skill and invention to outwit them. The wingers were particularly useless tonight rarely beating their men to the by-line and their crosses were laughable. Small crowd didn't help, Cortese looked miserable as he suddenly realised what sort of fan base he has inherited, 44000 pseudo fans demand for the flashy stuff on the North Circular but only the loyal core of 15000-odd show up when it really matters. Let's face it people are going to drift away in droves now so for the rest of this season SMS will resemble a morgue on a less busy day. What puts the ***** up me is if the penny drops upstairs quickly and we find ourselves up for sale again. This team is no way guaranteed promotion next season on tonight's showing; there have been rather too many performances like it since the turn of the year so we must wonder which is the real Saints, last night's or the one that turned out against Huddersfield.

Not a fuggery sniff again today and couldn't get any lazy Rrses to answer their fugging 'phone so's I couldn't ask. A gloomy feeling is spreading over these parts, it really seems possible the TO could have screwed up and missed me out, no sign of a payment from my account either? Hell, I'm a ST holder and applied on day 1. Anybody else in this boat?

What you mean is 'You' weren't there! Call yourself a Saints fan? Where were you? What's that? You weren't born - oops!

This is all complete ******** of course, it will never happen. Already Cortese is showing the early signs of delusions of grandeur brought about by extreme stress and modest attainment. We all think Pardew is under the cosh of Cortese but it looks more likely that Cortese is under Liebherr's cosh. Look guys you can't just move Saints up to London and build a s****y new stadium at Hampstead if that's where you'd prefer it to be. This is tiny little tin-pot, backwoods town Southampton and Saints is our tiny little tin-pot backwoods team. Long may it last. There just ain't 60,000 folks down here who give a toss about footie.

Not a bloody smell of a ticket so far and from reading what you guys are saying I can sense this ain't gonna go smoothly at all. If I get crap seats I'll go effing mental as my request was in at crack of dawn on day 1 for ST holders.

What a daft thread. Loony Tunes Comes to town. Even if we win all 12 games we would reach 83 points which has not been enough to get into the top 6 when there are a few good teams and a lot of poor ones as this year. Stop tormenting yourselves with all these what-ifs and start worrying about what happens xnext year if we dn;t make it.

Steve, you're dead right mate! Drives me up the wall, I'm switching back to Safari.

The OS fully explained weeks ago that no tickets will be sent out until Monday 15/03 so what are people fretting about. The only thing you have no control over is where you will be sitting, no that is worth fretting about!

Delusions of grandeur from the boardroom, whatever next and us in the Third Division!? It could be a very long wait indeed old bean... blue chips? I'd settle for fish 'n chips if I were he and whilst they are still warm. Nothing worse than a limp chip. He's been here a while now and still has not delivered Nestle the strikingly obvious choice for a Swiss backed outfit so the franc might drop soon.

Is it the European Cup, the Intertoto Cup, The FA Cup, the Carling Cup? Is it fuggery.. If we win it bin it, like all other empty paint tins.

Me too! In fact I've not been able to bring myself even to log on to my favourite website until today so much am I still in mourning. What really gets up my snorters is the sheer bloodyminded inevitability of failure at our club whatever the circumstances. To think we are now doomed to another miserable year in this festering crapyard of hoofball so no way am I going to waste my time this Saturday or next Tuesday watching this bunch of losers. It no longer matters what we do in those matches so why should I give a toss. Wish I could get my money back... We're off for a week to the land of Frogs

You must be very young, why no mention of Wayman, Day, O'Brien, Chivers, Channon, Davies, MacDougall, Shearer etc etc etc ???? The best of all? Probably Ron Davies maybe Alan Shearer but Ricky Lambert will get close methinks given time.

It's a brilliant article. Jaidi is now 100% a Saint and is obviously not only enjoying life here but a terrific influence on the younger players as well. As long as he sticks around then I'd want to be a part of it if I was one of the younger more ambitious lads. It's not just 'big talk' to hide the cracks, this is from the heart and you sense he genuinely believes in the Pardew Project; let's face it he's been here and there at the higher levels and done most of 'that', so if he is impressed by what he sees and feels around him then we are indeed in for future treats. I love the guy!

You would have thought so wouldn't you but knowing the FL they probably don't bother to police it and let's be cynical about it as well, unless a pitch is frozen solid and opens them up to prosecution by the HSE in case of a bad accident they seem to be conditioned to the mentality that the game must go on to avoid the hassle of costly last minute postponements, refunds and fixture congestion. "Never mind the quality feel the wealth... "
