An Infraction Busting, Edgy Thread..

[Guided Missile]

Turned up at the Sponsors dinner, suited and booted, at, may I add, £75 a head, with three guests....and....

 

.....never, in the history of Saints football club have I been prouder of the team I support, nor the manager that leads them. Assembled were some of the most modest young men you have ever met and, on our table, in addition to my guests, was the player I sponsor. Polite and personable, he has married his childhood sweetheart, his first priority is looking for a good local school for his two young children and when asked, "What was it about the deal, that made you come to Southampton?", he replied, "I didn't know what the deal was and it didn't matter. Every player knows what a great club Southampton is and what an honour it is to play for them. It didn't really matter what they were offering"....and believe me, he was telling the truth.

 

Forget that the club phoned me up yesterday and reminded me that I have to pay the sponsorship invoice, before my company is featured on the screen tomorrow. At last we have a business man running the club. No money, no showey..

 

I love this club, the family values it demonstrates, the great young players that just want to play football and the city it represents. 2 points for calling a nameless ex-pat a "douche bag" when I should have said "sleaze bag". Worth, it every time...

Could you take your own photos of the event John, or do you have to buy them from the syndicate? ; )

[Minty]

Why spoil a nice post, with a snipe at others? Or did you only post it so you could make that snipe?

 

Either way, it's a shame you feel the need to do so.

[for_heaven's_Saint]

Who's the player you sponsor?

Is that second to last sentence a really poor attempt at subliminal messaging or something?

Who was on the SaintsWeb table?

[The Rover]

Judging by Agform's past record I wouldn't trust you to pick a horse for me. Who is the poor sucker this year?

[Danbert]

Get a life you sad man.

[Carlos Fandango]

Great to hear praise of our club and players. What a shame we have such sad fans that have to try and snipe and look clever at such positive news.

Yep, forgotten.

Read the last paragraph again.

 

Who was the player GM?

[SO16_Saint]

Is the original post serious or am I having a "whoosh" moment??

[Micky]

God Dan, I love you....! I don't have a clue what he's on about either - I was just too embarrassed to 'stick me hand up' and admit it....!

 

Anydbody fancy *translating / supposing / speculating / guessing what the actual point is here, as it seems to have gone right over me (and Dan) - would be much obliged.

 

*Either, or, whatever...????

I don't want a businessman running our football club i want a football man running it. 'Businessmen' ruin football. FACT.

More like loose cannon this time.

[Guided Missile]

For those that care, the point is, that this forum is being overrun by posters that have nothing to do with the club. I got an infraction for "insulting" an anonymous poster on a Pompey website, who happens to share an anonymous identity with someone on here.

 

FFS, guys, this site should be for Saints fans that share our values, not internet geeks that seek to destroy our morale.

 

We proudly sponsor Danny Butterfield this season and for the attention of "The Rover", we sponsored Antonio last season. "Judging by Agform's past record I wouldn't trust you to pick a horse for me." W@ nker...

 

 

That's me signing off.

 

F*** the lot of you...

[explorer saint]

Well said really ****ed off that the pompey take over thred is not worth looking at now and have to come back to this

[Minsk]

Good to hear such words about our club and our players.

 

As for those ex-pats..... :vuvu:

I don't want a businessman running our football club i want a football man running it. 'Businessmen' ruin football. FACT.

 

We shall discuss this tomorrow because you are wrong.

 

Would you rather have running our football club A) a businessman backed by a billionaire who has years of experience in sports finance, or B) a football man backed by er, well, nothing at all other than a bloke with no money who lives with his parents.

[JustMike]

spot on GM, obvious that some on here tonight just see your name and dont bother reading the post, almost assuming that it will be carp. Glad you had good time at the do and that you finally feel you have your club back, its a good feeling :-)

[St Chalet]

I actually really enjoy GM's posts. He is a very articulate chap with a clear love for the club. Sometimes I wonder why the posts and thread starting to put a some of the less talented posters down.

eh - irony??

[Smirking_Saint]

Guided missile in i am great shocker.

 

get over yourself you tw*t

[dune]

I think the power of being made chairman of the parish council has gone to his head.

 

P.S Instead of wasting taxpayers cash to clean the village duckpond get your wellys on and do it yourself.

Unfortunately a vocal minority wanted B) presumably as a weak set up would have allowed them access to the club.I am sure thats where most of the anti-Cortese vitriol comes from.

Does anyone remember the news item on TV when the leader on MLT's Pinnacle group was interviewed in thier "office". ? A portakabin on a derelict building site.

[Colinjb]

Good news regarding the attitude of the player(s). Can't wait for kick off today.

[Cascadia Saint]

You sad, deluded, obsessed little ****. Get a life.

 

****.

Not true - BAD businessmen ruin football. Do you think the Moores family ruined Liverpool?

 

Do you think Blackburn fans thought businessmen ruined football after they won the Premiership?

 

GREED ruins everything. That is the only fact to take away from football. But then you could learn that lesson from the Bible without going anywhere near a football game...

[Dalek2003]

Manj, don't get me started on the vocal minority. They did enough damage in Spring of 2004.

[Pip]

I was at the same dinner and was also impressed by the team spirit showed by the players. They obviously have great respect for Alan Pardew and each other. Both Alan and Kelvin spoke for a few moments. The essence of Alan's talk was that the players he has can go all the way to the Prem together as a team ( good way to sell it to new targets too). The essence of Kelvin's talk was that certain players may have taken the plaudits for their goalscoring last season but without Bart's penalty saves we wouldn't have had such a successful time! (Don't take that as a dig at anyone - he was very proud of Bart)

AP also sees Huddersfield as our biggest threat this season.

Well done GM. I have to say coming from you this is a positive thing. It was a pleasurable read and a nice to know.

Troll.

[Wade Garrett]

GM, thanks for telling me it was £75 a head. I marvel at your wealth.

 

Good post though. But, to be fair, Butterfield wouldn't come near us if we were still up sh*t creek under Wilde and Lowe.

Articulate?

 

He is no more articulate than yourself. I have had several attempts at trying to work out what your last sentence was meant to be saying and have now given up.

[Redondo Saint]

I really don't understand why the OP feels the need to take another pop at the ex-pats.

 

Everything was going well until I read that and now I'm back to thinking GM is an attention seeking knob.

The high lighted bit (plus a lot of of his other posts, especially on the Takeover fred) show why GM is a valued member of this forum .... but the last paragraph (presumably something to do with the locked fred earlier slagging off ex pats/ an expat?) and the antagonistic fred title shows a lack of class. I don't understand why you feel anybody from outside an SO postcode should have the audacity to support OUR team (maybe somebody can post a link to previous diatrabes against us!).

 

Congratulations on being involved in sponsoring a new player and hopefully as an outsider making him feel very welcome to the club His attitude seems top class .. hope it rubs off on you!!

 

Love and peace for All Mankind (but not so much for fishy types!!)
