I'm sorry SoccerMom, but I have no idea what you are talking about.
SoccerMom Posted 25 January, 2010 Author Posted 25 January, 2010 The New Orleans Saints have made it to the SuperBowl http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/american_football/8478073.stm which, if you have ever taken even a passing interest in American football or read the scores that flash up on SSN, you might realise is about as likely as your dog or cat taking an A level in maths.

Rut Posted 25 January, 2010 Posted 25 January, 2010 Saints to win the Superbowl on Feb 7th Saints to beat Pompey the weekend afterwards. New Orleans Saints have always been a bad team. This year they have been good & getting to the Superbowl is a bit like if SFC were to get to the FA Cup Final this year. They sing: 'Who Dat, Who Dat - Who Dat say they gonna beat dem Saints'. (as in 'nobody can beat us' kinda thing). This why they are known as the 'Who Dat Nation'. They also sing 'Oh when the Saints go Marching In'. No surprise there but it is always good to hear that song being belted out. If they win the Superbowl I think it will be a good omen for the week after. 'Saints win' headlines will p*ss off Pompey fans - whatever the sport!!!

dubai_phil Posted 25 January, 2010 Posted 25 January, 2010 After the hell they went through after Hurricane Katrina and what happened in their stadium with all those refugees, they deserve all the time in the limelght they can get. Strange how the two Saints sides have had rough times over the past few years (through totally unrelated causes of course) but now both are on the March. Nice that they think of us Who are their version of the skates I wonder? Did they beat them on the way?
JRM Posted 25 January, 2010 Posted 25 January, 2010 They sing: 'Who Dat, Who Dat - Who Dat say they gonna beat dem Saints'. QUOTE] hahaha, what excellent use of English / sentence structure. If we get to the FA Cup final maybe that can be our song recorded with 50cent in a duet with Paul Wotton? had thought about visiting America this summer but that song has just put me off again.
NorthamSteve Posted 25 January, 2010 Posted 25 January, 2010 I don't have a dog or a cat. That's what makes it so unfeasible.
Wiltshire Saint Posted 25 January, 2010 Posted 25 January, 2010 I'm passing on good wishes from Saints fans in New Orleans, who have been messaging me since last night along the lines of "If we can do it, so can you!" The Who Dat Nation are ecstatic and thoroughly bemused at the thought of being at the SuperBowl. And yes, if they can do it, so can we... How many peeps messaged you? Can we see some evidence of this messaging? Quite frankly, what I'm saying is that I don't believe anyone messaged you. I think you're making it all up. And who says "who dat"? Knobheads, that's who.
SoccerMom Posted 25 January, 2010 Author Posted 25 January, 2010 No, you can't, because my emails and FB accounts are private. What kind of evidence could I provide that you would find convincing anyway? Why would I make it up? ?? Confused.
Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 25 January, 2010 Posted 25 January, 2010 Lovely welcoming folks on here hey
AussieDog Posted 25 January, 2010 Posted 25 January, 2010 Unfortunately, Soccermum, some people still think it's funny to be rude and obnoxious for the sake of it, whereas most people grew out of that phase soon after completing potty training. I think good wishes from anywhere are a reason to smile after the miserable time we have endured for the past 6 or 7 years! Smile and be happy people - there's enough sh1t in the world without resorting to needless insults and rudeness. Happy Clappy and proud!! (this year)
bungle Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 Good NFL thread on General Sports forum discussing the Saints. WHO DAT?!
georgeg Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 Lovely welcoming folks on here hey my thoughts exactly! - well done the New Orleans SAINTS!!! beat the Colts and lets make it the start of a VERY good week

Strange how the two Saints sides have had rough times over the past few years (through totally unrelated causes of course) but now both are on the March. Nice that they think of us Who are their version of the skates I wonder? Did they beat them on the way? The Atlanta Falcons, I'm told. And, yes, they beat them to secure a bye in the first round of the play-offs. To quote, "wooo heaux!" - but that could just be Carnival talking. Would love to be at Mardi Gras (16th Feb) this year if the Saints win on the 7th. I'm also told that stores are already selling out of black and gold (the Saints colours) glitter. Trashy, yes, but that's New Orleans for you.
Master Bates Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 My other Saints team start their season Feb 6th, good ole St Helens
krissyboy31 Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 My other Saints team start their season Feb 6th, good ole St Helens C'mon you 'ull!!!
SoccerMom Posted 26 January, 2010 Author Posted 26 January, 2010 What's a 'Mom' Well, bless your heart.
unionhotel Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 Well, I quite like the 'Who Dat' song. Perhaps we should adopt the New Orleans Saints and have our own 'Who Dat Nation UK'
Rut Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 OK - I know some of you will rip the sh*t out of this but I reckon it's pretty good. Celebrating Saints fans - you can't beat it. http://videos.nola.com/times-picayune/2010/01/saints_video_bourbon_street.html Check out the mush in the bar in the yellow t-shirt singing 'Oh When the Saints'. He definitely has some potential. With a load of SFC fans to guide him in to how to sing the song properly I think he'd do well. He appears to have the right idea about getting w*nkered. You then get the celebrating of the winning Field Goal and then at about 1.30 the 'who dat song' can be heard. Again - with training - we could get them to ditch the brass band and add a few more songs to their repertoire. Here's to Southampton City Centre looking similar on 13 Feb - full of celebrating Saints fans! PS Can someone link me to really good video of SFC fans singing 'Oh when the Saints'. Cheers.
suewhistle Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 Don't worry about Wiltshire Saint: I think he's what you'd know locally as a "cracker". Anyway, I hope you have a Hampshire Saints shirt to wear for carnival and a win to celebrate!
Block 5 Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 I think a fair few of the more infrequent visitors to this forum, who have been away from Blighty for a while have forgotten all about the unique British sense of humour.
Pancake Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 We need a tenuous links forum. New Orleans Saints St. Helens Northampton St Kilda (Aussie team I think?) St. Johnstone St. Mitten
Wiltshire Saint Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 Soccermom, I'm sorry. I was high on drugs when I wrote the silly stuff I wrote. I didn't know what I was saying. I was only messing about. Hope you forgive me. xxx
Minsk Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 The Atlanta Falcons, I'm told. And, yes, they beat them to secure a bye in the first round of the play-offs.

I'm also told that stores are already selling out of black and gold (the Saints colours) glitter. Trashy, yes, but that's New Orleans for you. I've been to New orleans a few times, including doing a whole Mardi Gras week (which was a totally amazing experience). New Orleans is a great place to visit and I wish them all the best at the Superbowl! (I even used to have a black and gold N.O. Saints shirt, but don't know what happened to it )
SoccerMom Posted 27 January, 2010 Author Posted 27 January, 2010 (edited) One of my friends wrote this to me last night. Got any recommendations for links to send back? Would be kind of cool for our Saints to feature in their press: "We just won the league championship Sunday for the 1st time against the Minnesota Vikings and will play in the Superbowl the first weekend in February! This strange Star Trek "Parallel development" thing with YOUR Saints MUST get into the newspapers here. They are running out of things to write about the upcoming game and it is all so similar it is freakish. May YOUR Saints in South Hampton kick the butts of their rivals and also prevail!!! Please send any links to your Saints so I can forward it to the newspapers here. The tale must be told! I love that they were as downtrodden as we were for just about as long. New Orleans is outta control over the Saints! After 43 years of failure what an appreciated blessing! We are all SO happy and grateful. Even those who have never followed football are totally immersed. Not just the major streets but in EVERY area of town, folks shot off saved fireworks from New Year's or just poured outside hollering and crying to honk the car horns. Truly a once in a lifetime event for us, at least so far... However, the folks here do know how to behave in large crowds from years of Carnival parades. There was NO crime of any kind before, during or after the game. Now that proves that EVERYONE, even the worst, were only watching the Saints. I don't know much about soccer, but may the Southampton Saints kick ass and get to their game as well!!!" ps Wiltshire, it's OK Edited 27 January, 2010 by SoccerMom
bungle Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 By the way, if you think FA Cup Final ticket allocations are awful, have a look at the ticketing arrangements for the Superbowl! http://www.neworleanssaints.com/Articles/2010/1/Saints%20Announce%20Lottery%20for%20Season%20Ticket%20Holders.aspx
Dan Johnson Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 A few collages where in New Orleans last week for an IT conference and the the atmosphere was amazing apprently. They've been saying "who dat" all week this week haha. They loved that they were all from Southampton & that we're called the Saints & pretty much adopted them! Certainly encouraged my collagues that our very own Saints can achieve anything
Saint George Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 By the way, if you think FA Cup Final ticket allocations are awful, have a look at the ticketing arrangements for the Superbowl! http://www.neworleanssaints.com/Articles/2010/1/Saints%20Announce%20Lottery%20for%20Season%20Ticket%20Holders.aspx yeah...i was checking my email every 10 mins all day to see if i had got lucky with the alocation...but no deal....4k tickets for a club that has 70,000 season ticket holders is unreal Oh well, i guess it's helping to answer the "what if" question ...To be in Miami or stay in NOLA for Super Bowl weekend?......No one can throw a party like New Orleans

Am planning to get to a game in the Superdome in 2010. I will even buy you a beer George - if you want one?!
krissyboy31 Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 New Orleans Saints St. Helens Northampton St Kilda (Aussie team I think?) St. Johnstone St. Mitten Some sort of holy glove manufacturer?
Seany S Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 So then - Saints vs Colts in the Superbowl - and Saints vs C**ts in the FA Cup. Happy days. WHO DAT
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Screw you all, I'm a Colts fan. Peyton Mannings blue and white army!!
shurlock Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Am a Ravens fan - the old man lives there. We could use a bit of their mentality at the back and in the middle of the park.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 27 January, 2010 Posted 27 January, 2010 Am a Ravens fan - the old man lives there. We could use a bit of their mentality at the back and in the middle of the park. Yep, but not up front, especially with the way Flacco's been playing. Would take Ray Rice any day of the week though.
Rut Posted 8 February, 2010 Posted 8 February, 2010 I'm passing on good wishes from Saints fans in New Orleans, who have been messaging me since last night along the lines of "If we can do it, so can you!" The Who Dat Nation are ecstatic and thoroughly bemused at the thought of being at the SuperBowl. And yes, if they can do it, so can we... WHO DAT! First part of the Saints treble in place. *** Saints win the Superbowl (never ever been there before - let alone win it. Underdogs & came from 10 points down to win it - only one team ever had done this before in the SB). A great Saints victory. *** Saints to get to Wembley *** Saints to beat Pompey. As the thread said 'SAINTS FANS EVERYWHERE'. Not too many people in Pompey were cheering on New Orleans! Saints v Pompey is now confirmed to be on USA TV. Saints win the Superbowl. Sunday night has never felt so good. WHO DAT!!!!
