I was thinking more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZkllM8znx4

Because it's a really facking sh.t paper. Simples.

Lol 'pizza'. It'll all be ok. It's prob best we get the mickey-mousers out of the way, anyway...

:-o Well, he has done a good job... didnt he make a rather silly comment though last season which painted him as but of an idiot? Lol...

It's actually really quite good, I do like it. I don't normally like these kinda songs, especially soppy charity ones but this is very good.

When it does go belly up (and it will), they will be in a far worse place than we have ever been. They have been downright stupid and its gonna catch them up. Oh, and they WILL go down next year, guaranteed, I'll have a bet with any skate on here.

Haha... mate, the feeling is mutual, as is the offer, although I am ever so slightly effeminate so mine would be a vodka coke if possible? :-) I messaged someone who shared my viewpoint the other day... I was damning about my fellow fans, as I have been this past couple of months. Let's just say, reading this forum thoroughly this evening I really did feel a sense of belonging again. Yes, there are debates, arguments and disagreements but boiling beneath it all is a simmering hope that everything will be OK again. I honestly, sincerely believe we will all get the opportunity to pull in the same direction again. I'm tired of bickering, I have recently resulted to petty insults and snide remarks. I know I shouldn't have but I did. Then, it finally dawned upon me - I am really, really, not engaging myself with my fellow 'brothers'. I have got so embroiled in hatred and negativity and arguments that I seldom spoke of football anymore. That is when I knew that it had gone too far. I hope for the others like me, no matter what part of the divide they currently sit, also experience this. It was tantamount to englightenment, not so much in a spiritual sense but more of a, well... a realisation. We've gone on for so long now with **** up after mistake after **** up and rightly, or wrongly, as fans, we've all had our say and in some cases, fought amongst ourselves because of this. We have been through the wringer twice and once more and we've had to stomach some of the most unfortunate set of circumstances which could ever befall a loyal fanbase. Soon, we will have a chance of unity again. I hope to never have to mention any of the old guard's names again. I look forward to debating tactics, opposition, transfers and and team itself... the things I have overlooked so often in recent months. The only things us fans should have to worry about. I hope we get two strong leaders, a chairman with vision and a plan to compliment a manager whose charisma can involve and instil a 'us against the world' mentality. God knows, we're going to need it next year and to overcome our penalty we need to come out fighting from the first whistle. If SFC give us something to be proud of again the fans will reciprocate. Fingers crossed all intentions are sincere and we can all once again, sleep easy about the future of Saints. If and when I'm back in the UK next season, I will happily share a drink with you and anyone else I have wrongly rounded upon in recent months. Hell, I might even dip into my pocket and buy them all! Let's see what the fixture list throws up and hopefully we can make that a date.

Me, you - agreeing? Parallel world!? Ha, no, seriously... there is nothing more than I would want than the above... unity will be the key... it will galvanise not only the club and fans, but the city and it's people... as I said on the other thread, everything will seem so much prettier, tastier, happier.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Make no mistake, we stand on the threshold of a new era. I myself cannot wait to let bygones be bygones and welcome in a new dawn of unity at the club, and as Al Pacino said in his speech in 'Any Given Sunday' (I refer everyone to watch this speech btw) "either we heal, now, as a team... or we will die... as individuals" Hair-raising stuff... I guess my point is, pretty much is echoed in the sentiments of many of StuRomseySaint's thread. We've all had a gutful... I know I have... all the ****ing and moaning and rounding upon our own supporters. I don't want to preach to any of you as I myself can no longer go to games... I am essentially a 'fan' but not a 'supporter' but irrespective of my personal feuds, battles and previously held beliefs, there is nothing more I want than unwavering unity. The great thing about this whole sorry mess is that we will soon have the opportunity, the chance, to grasp this again. We will soon have the opportunity to move on and eventually, Southampton FC will be able to build a solid base for the future. It's not going to be easy but the next group of players at this club I hope will wear the shirt with immense pride. It is up to us to make sure they know exactly how we feel and to give them our unconditional backing. The feeling will transfer to them and is reciprocal - once they figure our love, it will be given back to us genuinely... I honestly believe that. There are some fantastic examples around the world of players-fans relationships, we just have to take the initiative. It would be fantastic to make SMS more intimidating, yet this can only truly be done with the fans vociferous backing. Soon, we'll be given the chance to regroup as one and move forward as one. The diversity of opinion that split us all for so long will vanish and with that, hope will be ushered into its place. Forza Saints!

The point deduction should unify us. Let us never talk of the past few years, we should come out fighting. BIG TIME. Forza Saints.

Fear not, it will be again soon, probably in 2 seasons time when we're on a par with them Seriously though, for me to comment on a thread like this when i have been, rightly or wrongly, very critical of the fans in recent times speaks volumes. But what Stu has touched upon has been somewhat overlooked and is damning... i don't think this should ever be forgotten, whatever happens. **** whoevers in boardroom and whoever claims power, the REAL DAY when we get 'our club' back is the day when we have 11 players who will bleed for the red and white. When that happens, the city, the people, the outlook will all change - and it will be noticeable everywhere. There will be the long craved unity after such a divisive period of time... fans will no longer argue politics, but team selections... Flowers will look brighter, food will taste better and goals will be appreciated more than they have ever been. FWIW, we're not out of the woods yet but I believe that day won't be far off from now.

Unfortunately Stu, you will not find many, if any, selfless players in this day and age. They live in a totally different world and whilst there are exceptions (Damiano Tommasi, and I think another fella at Roma, and an Ath. Bilbao player who deferred or requested minimal wages) in the UK you'd be hard pressed to find anyone with an ounce of humility and ethics. Telfer I suppose is one, as was Taricco... but these cases were a while ago. I don't blame the fans essentially for not being at SMS... especially with the prices and the product on offer... I do proportion a large amount of the blame on the trough-dwellers who KNOWINGLY continued to take, take, take whilst the club was going to the wall. Its simply amazing that the fans rallied around yet even in a credit crunch, put their hands in their pockets. worst of all though is not one has said 'thank you' or given anything back. It stinks, and if we cease to exist the only bright cloud on a very dark horizon will be that the deck will be swept of these bloodsuckers.

Spot on Stu, to be fair... It's amazing how players who have led us to relegation and some of the worst performances in decades have not at least felt a little bit guilty about picking up their wages whilst knowing the club was on the brink of extinction AND its fans scraped every last penny together... worst thing of all? Not even a ****ing thank you from some of the overpaid xxxx's...

Murty is good... and would be affordable. Duberry is washed up, would be rubbish in any league he plays in. Golbourne is half decent, worth a punt. Lita, yes, but won't come here (he could do it in the Prem to be honest, let alone the Champ or L1!) and the GK (no going to attempt his name when I'm this tired!) also.

lmfao

It's from 'RocketSwannie' on 606... can anyone clarify his sources? Has he got much right before???

Good job I haven't got 1,000 shares in SLH... ...Oh feck.

Yes.

You saddo, Chuckle. **** off and concentrate on Rotherham.

I hope that this is possible, and damn, I like to have a positive outlook on things but we are becoming bitter and renowned whingers. True, we haven't had much to shout about in recent years but it just kinda feels the fans (as well as the club) are stuck in a negative cycle of depression. I hope its broken soon... I really do... and the only way that will happen is with a completely fresh board at SFC minus all the hangers on and unsuitables; McMenemy, Crouch, Askham, Richards... as well as all the obvious candidates. Fingers crossed, eh?

Good luck with championing reasoned debate, you don't get much of that from the froth-mouths here...

Scores quite alot as well... Matt Richards, Ipswich, just released.

Yes, I know he has done alot of things wrong, I have acknowledged that... as I do acknowledge some of the things he did right. It's called 'balance' - there's defo the need for some people to get that on here...

Not a genius, no, but I think the biggest point here is that he got it done and was pro-active. Unlike our former slimeball chairman...

Yes, arguably it was. But see my point above.... there are plenty of teams out there who move to new grounds and perform OK, sometimes above expectations. I'd say it's got plenty more to do with the manager and players instilled then the fans.
