Saint Charlie Posted 27 August, 2010 Share Posted 27 August, 2010 I agree I think we have played well in places if were not creating chances I would be worried but we are should have won both games. We have been off the pace a bit but I was impressed at how we played against Bolton if we can play like that we will be back in the mix in no time. Last season -10 and a good awful start and we still would have finished 3rd it is a marathon not a sprint we will hit form soon on the eviedence v Bolton we could easily win 5 or 6 of the next seven games lets see where we are after 10 games then we might have a view on how we are going to do This sums it up. Added to the fact Lallana, Puncheon and Lambert were injured in pres season we need to be pateint but we were excellent Vs Bolton, you would have thought we were the Prem team. Our movement tore them apart and the goals will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brmbrm Posted 27 August, 2010 Share Posted 27 August, 2010 OK, so automatic promotion form is win at home, draw away. 7 games, 2 at home, 5 away measn that "par" is 11 points. More than that we gain on par (and of course we need to). So 3 wins and 2 draws is just our par, and i both hope and expect more than that. Oh, BTW, i have just run Alpine's profile through the psychometric ***tometer and he is 99.745% total t w@t. Get yourself a life, preferably somewhere in the Alps 100%, eh?

Wurzel Posted 27 August, 2010 Share Posted 27 August, 2010 Alpine on "Reasons or Excuses" thread You know exactly what I meant. Stop the hoofball. Alpine on Next 7 Games thread I couldnt give a shiny one if AP is endorsing hoofball, so long as it gets results.

Did you read the exchange leading to it ? I was talking about how AP should stop the hoofball if he wants to. My own personal opinion (the second post) is that I dont care about hoofball, so long as we win. Maybe a bit more thought and intelligence should be put into some of these personal attacks.

Dazza82 Posted 28 August, 2010 Share Posted 28 August, 2010 Win our game in hand and we will be joint 5th and only 3 points off the top spot, Of course that could change before we play our game in hand for the better or not so good.

polegategavin Posted 28 August, 2010 Share Posted 28 August, 2010 It was 4. Last time I checked 4 does not equal 5. Surely 4-0 is equally as good as 5-1, or am I missing something (i.e. 4 goal difference)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 28 August, 2010 Share Posted 28 August, 2010 Surely 4-0 is equally as good as 5-1, or am I missing something (i.e. 4 goal difference)? It's irrelevant. Everyone knows what he meant. He didn't literally mean 'we aren't going to score 5.' He meant 'we aren't going to score a load of goals.' If I had said to him at the time what about 4 he would have dismissed that as well. The man is totally clueless and very rarely actually watches saints anyway. People who have been to games this year have said we are playing well and we were going to give someone a spanking soon. These are the people to listen to (or listen to yourself if you go to quite a few games and can form your own opinion!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 28 August, 2010 Share Posted 28 August, 2010 You have been shown up for your lack of football knowledge, particularly where saints are involved. I would suggest you make an effort to attend more games so that you can form a more accurate opinion or simply accept that posters who go to more games are more likely to know what they are talking about.

Frank's cousin Posted 28 August, 2010 Share Posted 28 August, 2010 Alps, I think the reason why you are sort of misinterpreted and given a fair bit of stick, is you seem to try and find, what I think ate a bit odd or irrational reasons for yor opinions. Your opinions ARE AS VALIP as anyone elses, but most of us will say it a bit more open...eg, Derry does not like pards because he believes on the evidence he sees, week in week out that Pards is tactically lacking... that is an opinion which Having met and discussed these things with Derrty, I can respect. I think the problem for you is that too often, you are misinterpreted because often its very reactionary... eg, pards is crap after 2 games because of the points we lack or in this thread, because you cant see us getting a reasonable total from teh first nine games... a fair enough comment, and valid opinion, but the difference is that there is no REASON presented as to why you assume this. Derry, for example, does not like pards, because he feels he is tactically poor, and has not got us playing consistently at the level he believes this side is capable of. That is a valid opinion based on an evaluation from seeming each home game. You, have been quite down on pards as well, a VALID opinion, but the reason you get stick is because you dont present your rationale behind it... that is all. If you dont like pards, fair play to you, but give us your reason without the spleen venting, and folk will appreciate your insight and contribution far more. I know we whave not alwats got on, mainly because our opinions differ, but I DO respect alot of what you say and agree with it, but cant support your posts because you dont provide a rationale that makes logical sense..

Alps were are no more world beaters today than we were the worst team in the world yesterday. But can't you at least take some pleasure from todays result without looking forward with doom and gloom to the next home game? We were talking earlier about the pressure being off away from home. Today validated that to some extent but hopefully the strong win will add some confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank, I think I do explain my rationale for having doubts about AP - very, very clearly. I have frequently pointed to the sorts of games where we lost critical points and momentum in the second half of last season, and the impact that had on our playoff chances. I have frequently questioned the quality of our pre-season preparation I have frequently questioned the timing and lack of our transfer activity I have frequently commented that we seem to lack tactical diversity. Anyhoo, great win today, so dont really want to go over old ground tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Codger Posted 29 August, 2010 Share Posted 29 August, 2010 This whole 'prediction' thing doesn't give a basis for discussing who 'knows' football and who doesn't! If saints should lose at home to Rochdale, then Alps 'run-rate' of points will be spot on. Does that make either side of the argument right or wrong? NO! From my perspective, these are all winnable games Md we have to take each one it comes. That is what NC will be doing, as will AP. What I implore of everyone here is that you support the team for 90 mins, it does make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
