I'm Norwegian and just got the bad news. After I just finished crying my eyes out I just had to post. I've been following this forum for a long time and I must admit that all of the negative input from the fans never gave me hope of securing a place in CCL- still I can't believe that money, not football, is what matters when teams are relegated. This is no a disgrace to the English standars of sportsmanship. On the other hand, I have followed Saints since 1990 (since I was 12) and what really attracked me to the club was the honesty, the idea that talent is not bought but produced, the way the club used limited funds to produce great footballers and the fact that we from times to times thrashed the big (american/saudi/russian) clubs at The Dell. In recent years we have produced great footballers, we have a great reputation- and I for one, truly believe that Saints will be viewed as a club that exists for the love of the game, rather than a company. That's why we'll survive- although we might have to thrash Cheltenham instead of Man.Utd- I'll still follow the Saint. COYR
