What did you genuinely expect from the season?
Charlie Wayman replied to NickG's topic in The Saints
I thought and I still think we will go down. After last night's display, it is difficult to see how the kids will ever pick themselves up again. Some of the blokes in our pub last night before th e game thought we'd surprise and beat Man U in the Cup. After this load of rubbish, they had all changed their tune to "Are they this bad every week?" -
Are there any polite words to describe this dross? Passing the ball around without purpose IS NOT FOOTBALL, it is the sort of ball juggling circus act that we witnessed at half-time's at the beginning of the season. This was by far our worse performance so far. The kids have run out of ideas and one is bound to come to the conclusion that most of them are not stars in the making but the sort of also-rans nonentities like Baird, Dyer, Blackstock and Best. Now we don't really know if our failueres are because of Jan's ineptitude or the lack of football intelligence amongst our players. Surely they must think furtehr ahead than Step 1 "Must trap the ball cleanly" Step 2 "Must now do a dodge-your-opponent-in-one-neat-move manouevre" Step 3 "Run forward like hell with the ball" Step 4 "Avoid that oppo bloke ahead by offloading the ball to the nearest bloke in Red 7 white" Step 5 " Switch off, forget about the ball and run back to position" Step 6 " Protest 'Who Me?" when Kev picks another one out of the net Step 7 " Shout abuse at the forward(s) ' why didn't you do something with it?"

I'm certain you are not allowed to say much of what you have written here. It is certainly offensive to me and I am a rabid Lowe hater. Much of what he is doing has been forced on him by the banks

What an absolutely useless, lazy, clueless tit. Why on earth was Robertson taken off, Jan? Jan, are you listening? Do you ever listen?
-
Never was so much (energy and huffing and puffing) spent by so few in front of so many for so little... Best not to start booking your trips to Villa Park, Goodison Park and St James' just yet. On this showing losing Surman and Lallana in January will be no great loss, you could permutate any 8 of 15 or 16 of our youngsters and still get the same dross and the same outcome. I fear for the Man U match so much that it probably won't be worth watching. At this rate we will be turned over by their third team. Surely even in Dutch total football, teams score goals occasionally? The only good news is that if we keep drawing another 23 times we should reach 45 points and avoid relegation.

The pound is not falling against all currencies, only the $ and the E pricipally but most cheap Prem players come from Africa and South America, continents in Freefall + economically. Don't expect much to change.

The problem would seem to be that our creditors are calling the shots and are calling in extraordinary loans like the £4.7 million loss we made last year. Don't forget the banks are in trouble deep and nowhere near out of the woods yet so their own survival is at stake. Their survival must rank above ours and in that context selling a few players to reduce our unsecured loan is a no brainer. Who at the Bank gives a sh** about Saints except that it is not in their interest for us to end up in administration so selling any decent assets helps them and helps them help us to stay afloat. There may be no end to this viscous downward spiral; with only 14000 people really interested it is hard for Chairman Lowe to convince the bank that salvation is just around the corner when evidently it is not.

dont get your manu tickets in west quay
Charlie Wayman replied to lordswoodsaints's topic in The Saints
I went down to SMS this morning at 8.30. Only seven people there all being served. No queues at all. Got my two tickets in 5 minutes flat. What's the problem? Get down there early whilst all the lazy burgers are still asleep. -
It's an easy decision for me if Surman & Lallana are sold. My current anti-Lowe stay away stance this season has gone quite some way towards curing my lifelong Saints addiction. When the time comes to renew my not-in-use ST it won't be necessary as I'll no longer be interested. Of course, I really want the reverse to happen, Lowe is sold off i January and Surman becomes Chairman and Lallana becomes Dirctor of Football.. if only!
-
Bloody Hell! What is the point of all this nonsense, they've already lost a fortune on their share price crash. You'll have them out on the street next... Hey! Maybe that's not a bad idea after all... Spare a quid mate? Sod Off!
-
What's the point of a Pie without Chips. Very unsatisfying and unsatisfactory. Bring back the chips! You heard it here first.

Too many clubs are after Cork and if Chelsea want to off-load him then he'll be off up to Bolton , Wigan or Blackburn who are all in the sh*t and need help urgently. The other loanees are no B use to anybody else and F all use to us so don't fret they won't be going anywhere

Those who refuse to go whilst Lowe's in charge...
Charlie Wayman replied to Dibden Purlieu Saint's topic in The Saints
Nope, but it doesn't stop my lad using my ticket does it? -
Win of course. What other option is there? To 'Win It' you've gottabe 'In It', the longer we're in it the richer we'll be. In reality we are heading for embarrassment as our botched up on-loan defence can't even cope with CCC defences so Ronaldo, Giggs, Evra, Rooney... ? You're having a laugh if you expect u to keep the ball out of our net half-a-dozen times even with Kevin from heaven!
-
F*** M*! Definitely OUR YEAR. I'll get a pony on this one to run and run. The point is can we or cannot we beat their third team 'cos I suspect the Thug from Clydeside doesn't give a toss about the FA Cup. Bet Ronaldo will call in sick so's he don't have to inconvenience himself by a trip to the boondocks? Hope none of our lads perform on the day else we'll loose them to the great bag of wind from up north.

No debate on this, of course the whole ground will be open. If the seats can be sold the extra staffing will be self-financing. Expect 32,250 and 15,000 outside hoping for a tout. Watch out you don't get mugged lads, keep you tickets safely hidden. This could get very nasty. Assume ST's will be first in-line and in my view should because of their loyalty get 2 tickets each then the other 4500 who bother to turn up week-in week-out for one each. That should still leave a few for other members.
-
You are right of course. I've already had 7 phone calls this aternoon asking if I can get 'them' tickets. These are not Lowe haters just people who turn up once every 5 years or so and then call themselves supporters. Leaning on my good will. Funny 'though, haven't heard from any of them in the 3 months since the season started! I'm down the golf club tomorrow, just wait for te fun to begin. Right! Of course I will.... ! AS IF! Tough Titties so-called mates. Sod off!
-
I fancy a 1-1 today, both teams struggling and a miserably cold day when nobody will be up for it. Bring on the hot soup.
-
I wish he'd lighten up a bit and smile. Unless of course that IS his smile? Anyway I thought he had badgered off for good to South Africa so what's he doing back here trying to cash in on his old memories. At the time, I loved the guy and used to chat to him in Shirley High Street outside his Fruit & Veg shop but that was then and this is now. Time to move on old lad unless of course you fancy getting your kit on and running up and down the right wing next Saturday?

Oh, my picture's been replaced...... by a train

I hope it is irony but I for one cannot see it -
We don't do Thanksgiving Tim for rather obvious reasons but enjoy your day

Not scoring period! It's a male problem in South Hampshire by all accounts.

Let's hope that he doesn't end up for life with a dodgy leg. Michael it is time to confront reality. Why torture yourself physically and mentally? You have nothing to prove to yourself or us. We will be eternally grateful for the good days you gave us.
-
He's bound to say that isn't he! The finances were a shambolic mess long before Leon Crouch came to the rescue. Judas and the Smarmy Little Twerp would like us to swallow their version of history as all 'victors' do but that doesn't change history for those that lived through it.
-
I do not agree with you at all, it is a ridiculous suggestion unworthy of sensible debate. Both players made incisive tackles at critical points last night and for long periods bossed midfield. If you have a downer on these guys don't exercise your frustration by creating spurious and inaccurately supposited threads
