saint_bert Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 what then? eh? eh? eh? Norwich Tuesday night
Amesbury Saint Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 Another defeat to add to the 100s we have had over the last 5 years. Another defeat - nothing special in itself. A few more empty seats next week.
Foxy Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 Plenty of moaning on here. Maybe a few less tickets sold next time round. But the sun will still rise tomorrow.
Mr X Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 what then? eh? eh? eh? Should we lose today the other team gets three points and we get nowt
Ash Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 Doncaster get three points, we get none. Everyone goes home. Women be shoppin', Saints be losin'. Get over it.
SNSUN Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 Mass suicide IMO. Southampton will be the new Bridgend. A loss is a loss. It continues the current trend but by no means should we throw in the towel and admit we'll get relegated this season. It's a long old season, and funnier things have happened. Besides which, I have seen into the future and now know we will win 2-1 today. If that doesn't come true? Meh, I know my psychic powers of prediction are poo.
Toadhall Saint Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 We go into the next game and hope.
70's Mike Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 We go into the next game and hope. BUT with less than 14k there
Daren W Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 From the sound of it recently, some people will be desperate for us to lose today....
OldNick Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 more fans will question the regime. Others will say wait and see, others will make threads to prove their point and find little bits to criticise the manager players chairman and the club.Some will be aggressive and others will stand up and try and defend the club. If we win what will happen? All of the above except some will disappear for a couple of days and some wil overrate our improvement.Its called a day in the life of TSW Me Ill be bloody more grumpy than usual then go out to an engagement party and watch my daughters band do a gig cheer upo a little and then come on here tomorrow to get my blood up again
OldNick Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 From the sound of it recently, some people will be desperate for us to lose today....If only you werent so close to the truth Daren
Snowballs2 Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 And we will be even deeper in the pooh, with a gap opening up in the table...That will be the most worrying thing.
ottery st mary Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 (edited) Sure bet win for the saints. No doubt about this as I am taking the Mrs down the bookies throwing her over the counter and asking for 10p each way just in case we come second again. 2-0 the Saints no worries. Nothing to do with Lowey and Wildey there off to the races. Someone assured me we would lose to-day. Edited 27 September, 2008 by ottery st mary
NickG Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 And we will be even deeper in the pooh, with a gap opening up in the table...That will be the most worrying thing. the season will be over with that gap --if C Palace win away at Ipswich and Derby away at QPR (both almost certain), when we lose we will an irretrievable gap of 3 points between us and safety. Season over.
ottery st mary Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 We will beat Norwich mid week . I am now really positive with something happening just around the corner. Saints are on the up..Pity about the Euro millions as I was very close... I managed one number.
Snowballs2 Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 the season will be over with that gap --if C Palace win away at Ipswich and Derby away at QPR (both almost certain), when we lose we will an irretrievable gap of 3 points between us and safety. Season over. Ok mystic Meg, if we can't beat Doncaster, YOU tell ME where our next 3 points are coming from. That is real scary
Dalek2003 Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 If we lose today we should get down on our knees and pray for the return of our saviour, Glenn Hoddle. Those who protested in 2004 should publicly apologise for their part in starting the rot and bringing this club down.

Fan The Flames Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 From the sound of it recently, some people will be desperate for us to lose today.... And all of them live in Doncaster and Portsmouth

Dalek2003 Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 He is so good Newcastle went for Joe Kinnear No, Glenn chose not to go to Newcastle like many other managers.
ottery st mary Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 He is so good Newcastle went for Joe Kinnear To be fair I have seen the short list of 100 for the job and Glenn was 93rd At least he was on the list. I was on the top 500 short list at 498. Just behind Jonathan Ross and Amy Winehouse and Roy Kinnear.
Arizona Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 If we lose I really wont give a sh*t because it's what I've been expecting ever since preseason. I treat every draw away from home, or win as an unexpected bonus and it's far less depressing.
AndyD Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 Plenty of moaning on here. Maybe a few less tickets sold next time round. But the sun will still rise tomorrow. Good Quote - yep the sun will rise but if we lose today I really believe Jan is totally inept and has to go. And Billy Davies could sort us out!

ottery st mary Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 Ah but Julian Clarey was in front of you! or was he behind ? I do believe he could get involved at Saints as he is used to appearing in pantomines...boom boom.
The9 Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 what then? eh? eh? eh? Based on previous weeks on here, a bunch of knee-jerking "we're doomed"-ness from a bunch of people who really should have worked out that we were probably going to be somewhere in the bottom half this season about 5 months ago, and shouldn't STILL be surprised that we're losing more than we win. And if we win, we'll be the greatest team in history for a week again, like we were after beating Birmingham. I love the implication from Snowballs2 that we really should be beating Doncaster, and that somehow they're crap. It's just genius, they're as competent as anyone else in this league (as are we on our day), but because they don't have a successful history they're somehow an easy target and we're expect to beat them despite having a team full of kids still learning the realities of the CCC and nudging towards a confidence problem. In case you haven't noticed, Wigan have been in the league above us for 5 tears, and currently the mighty Hull, and Fulham, and Stoke are also at a higher level than anyone in the CCC. None of them have much in the way of top flight pedigree, but you don't play their history, you play their current team. I'd take a draw, to be honest. Getting points away can be good for confidence too, and we'd need something different to click to get a win, unless Doncaster don't perform because we're still adjusting to losing Holmes.

solentstars Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 (edited) From the sound of it recently, some people will be desperate for us to lose today.... i think these people are like that with every manager we ever appoint ,they want a manager who moans all the time.they would love Private Frazer of dads army" we are doomed" Edited 27 September, 2008 by solentstars
mynameisthehulk Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 No, Glenn chose not to go to Newcastle like many other managers. You require the assistance of a mental health professional, seriously.
Torrent Of Abuse Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 what then? eh? eh? eh? I won't settle for anything less than sacrificing the first born of every family in Southampton. After all, anything less than a 5-0 win would be an absolute disaster IMHO. Just out of interest, if we win today what then? Wasn't it Kipling who suggested treating those two imposters of Triumph and Disaster the same? Nah. Scrap that. Whining is probably easier.
John Smith Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 I'm sorry, but if we lose today, we have set an all known low for Saints. The way we have been playing of late, losing today will crush the little confidence we have at present. We need a win today. It is a game we should win, a game we should pull out all the stops to get those 3 points. If we do, maybe we can put a stop to the rot setting in. So for me, if we lose today, much of the same. If we win, maybe a change of fortunes. Maybe the ball will bounce kindly for us. Maybe we can win two on the bounce, then we will really be on our way! Today, we should win, but the dire feelings round here mean many expect to lose. If we lose today, I will be surprised. Honestly, a draw will be fine. I predict 2 - 2.
alpine_saint Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 and....*insert where alpine lives*....somewhere swiss? Oh, do grow up............ And I am in Austria, btw. I am going to watch Austria Kaernten vs Austria Wien this afternoon, kick-off about the same time as Saints vs Donny finishes.

Micky Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 Lose today - so what - 3 points gone - move on. No point dwelling on what might have been. Forget where we were 5 or 6 years ago - that has gone, we are now on par with the likes of Doncaster, get used to it - this is today. So if we lose, we lose to a better side on the day - but I personally think that we might do them today, 2 - 0.
sperm_john Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 lose today and win at norwich most probably, we always lose the games we should win and win the games we should lose...its the saints way
OldNick Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 Oh, do grow up............ And I am in Austria, btw. I am going to watch Austria Kaernten vs Austria Wien this afternoon, kick-off about the same time as Saints vs Donny finishes.How come you get off your a### over there and watch games bit didnt when here? You are a bit complex Alpine
Foxy Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 He is so good Newcastle went for Joe Kinnear Probably the most ringing endorsement you could give for Hoddle, after all that lot are fast taking on Man City's old mantle as the greatest tragi-comedy of the football world. BTW did we ever speculate about how City will find a way to louse up having the Abu Dhabi royal family to bankroll them?
itchen Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 If we lose today I will probably swear in an understated manner and then get on with cooking the evening meal. If we win, the scenario will be much the same. Life is just too exciting in the Itchen household.
rick1976.4.38 Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 win or loose will go on the booze,keep the faith,coyr
Saint_clark Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 Norwich Tuesday night Exactly. What else CAN happen?
Professor Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 What happens if we win today, Eh? What then Eh? Eh?
ottery st mary Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 What happens if we win today, Eh? What then Eh? Eh? Absolute joy on Saturday followed by a smug, we are world beaters, until Tuesday when the fear starts to set in, when we all start moaning but still hoping we can beat Norwich. I think we all deserve a couple of wins, The players, JP the fans and go then, Lowey and Wildey. Saints to beat Doncaster to-day, you know it makes sense.
mynameisthehulk Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 what then? eh? eh? eh? eh!!!!!!!!
Daren W Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 What happens if we win today, Eh? What then Eh? Eh? No doubt people will moan that, as it stands, we didn't score from open play.... Own goal, penalty...yada yada yada....
NickG Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 must be safe now -as poster was concerned that if we lost the 3 point gap would be too much to catch up -now we are actually three clear of relegation zone therefore must be safe for the season??!!
.comsaint Posted 27 September, 2008 Posted 27 September, 2008 I don't think we will lose today. Much to the annoyance of some... I mean....fancy having to endure a weekend that you can't slate Lowe etc eh?
