sfc4prem Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 http://www.seagulls.co.uk/page/Latest/0,,10433~2324692,00.html Surely they don't actually care what Adkins says?
Micky Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 To be fair, as it transpires - it wasn't a very clever quote. Walk the walk - then talk the talk.
BHA Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Have to say he does say silly things at times, last week he was spouting you would still win the league.
Nexstar Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Have to say he does say silly things at times, last week he was spouting you would still win the league. Find the quote. It's still possible we can win the league, so that's what we aim for.
Wildgoose Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 A compliment from the Brighton players that they still remember it.....they obviously rate us or they wouldn't pay us any attention like that! lol
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 A club like Brighton, 10pts clear at the top of the league and on the verge of Championship football, shouldn't be hunting for comments that are 5 months old in order to find motivation to go up. It's a small-time mentality and they should be better than that. Good luck to them, they are up, and I will be interested to see how their 'passing from the back' style goes down in a league that is even more physical, faster, and obviously better. A friend went to Stoke vs. Brighton in the FA Cup and said Brighton tried this and got humiliated, so it will be interesting to see if they try to mix it up a bit or stay with it.
Hamilton Saint Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Have to say he does say silly things at times, last week he was spouting you would still win the league. I don't think he said we would win the league (TBH), I think he said that was still our target. A reasonable thing to say, isn't it? (We're going to try to do our best.)
Saints foreva Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Have to say he does say silly things at times, last week he was spouting you would still win the league. He was asked if he thought we could catch you and win the league, he was hardly going to say no was he?
BHA Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Find the quote. It's still possible we can win the league, so that's what we aim for. On Saints Mad site quoted, We can still win league-adkins
wessex saint Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 "We can still win league". yes.. it's called mathematics. It is possible we can still win league. My missus teaches maths if you have trouble understanding how it works
Hamilton Saint Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 On Saints Mad site quoted, We can still win league-adkins Well, there you go - it's an optimistic statement of intent, not a prediction that we would.
Frank's cousin Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Typical BHA and those Seagulls seem a tad obsessed about us... they should just be enjoying the great form that Poyet has got out of them and not really worry about the rest. Whatever they think of Adkins, had we had the points per game ratio that we have under him, from the start of the season, the game at teh withdean, could well have been the championship decider... I am sure Adkins knows the reality, but mathematically they have not won the league yet, so nothing wrong in what he has said...
View From The Top Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 They really do have a very small club mentality, a bit like the skates really.
scotty Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 On Saints Mad site quoted, We can still win league-adkins its possible that the scousers could still pip the munichs to the prem title. Not likely, but possible. Dont suppose theyre aiming to do that tho, are they.

Matthew Le God Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Its called unrealistic mathematics. And you continue to take quotes out of context.
um pahars Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 They really do seem to be obsessed!!!!! A rather small time, Bournemouthesuqe mentality, so happy to be getting one over their "rivals". They would be better off putting their time and effort in to celebrating a great season.
Hamilton Saint Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Its called unrealistic mathematics. "Unrealistic mathematics"? Oh, dear. This sort of maths is a matter of probabilities - it's not about realism. Why don't you just admit that you're wrong!
Roger Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Congratulations to you BHA, your'e team have been the best team this season. Great consistency. I think we are favourites to join you. If we do what we should we will go up. We will have to play a lot better than tues though.

Strange.

niceandfriendly Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 On Saints Mad site quoted, We can still win league-adkins Are you always this thick?
Roger Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 You have lost me, I was responding to you saying Saints weren't the favourites to go up with Brighton this season. Me too. I have to say we were very poor on tuesday though.
BHA Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Look at end of day not looking for argument. Do hope you finish second, at the end of the day you dont belong in this league.
Dazza82 Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Congratulations to you BHA, your'e team have been the best team this season. Great consistency. I think we are favourites to join you.

Thankyou very much my friend and lets hope we both go up next year aswell. I have no grudge against brighton whatsoever. I remember how good their fans were at last day at the dell when they played that match. Plus I won 2 tennis tournaments at the withdean complex. lol
saints-cris Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Brighton have done brilliantly this season, they're going up and they know it. But my god are the f*cking obsessed with Adkins comments and us in general. Go back to the 'they will need to catch up with us' comment, they still bang on about it. They dont seem able to take it with a pinch of salt at all. The whole we can still win it is silly. We know it, Adkins knows it.. we wont win the league. But just saying that thats our aim is not that big a deal.. why shouldnt we aim for top? Get over yourselves Brighton, your coming across as really cringworthy tbh. The fact that there is a new thread on us every time i look on their forum is pretty funny..
NickG Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Think the Brighton obession with us is a compliment, much like cherries, and nothing to get annoyed about. Bournemouth players and team we all singing about playing us when they got promoted last season - it wasn't about reaching league 1 it was about saints. Brighton have been very impressive this season (results rather than style!). Its good to see a club doing well and positive. However, rather than enjoying being top, or looking forward to the inevitable championship season, the thing they are focussing on is being higher than us. Says a huge amount about our stature in football and I like it.

Says a huge amount about our stature in football and I like it. Its our style that has got us our results. As i said on previous post you dont belong in this division so there is a compliment. Wouldnt bother me if you finished above us as long as we got promoted. As for looking forward to the championship we havent made it yet and when we have secured that place to the championship then we can look forward to it.
sfc4prem Posted 26 March, 2011 Author Posted 26 March, 2011 it actually says more about your deluded arrogance and your current [gone in may] manager's comments about keeping up with you - you're 'stature' is a third division football team; get used to it nah it doesn't. You're wrong. And can you please point out this "arrogance" (from our fanbase) and explain to me, in no uncertain terms, why you class it as such.
wessex saint Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Bless 'em. They will go up and they deserve it. The thing I can't work out is this.... Dell made all seater... sell out every wk hence need for a new stadium. Now have an average of 21.5k per home game (Dell capacity was 15k) BHA (top of the league etc etc ).. play at the Withdean. Capacity 8850. Average 7199. i.e can't fill it, but someone's found the money to fund a bigger stadium. I may just be being thick but why??? Money down the drain surely

Money down the drain surely They have already sold 14,000 season tickets for next year. Add larger Championship away followings and larger walk ups wanting to goto Championship games at a proper stadium, plus corporate seating and they won't have a problem selling tickets for their 22.5k stadium. If anything it may be slightly too small for them. Edited 26 March, 2011 by Matthew Le God

wessex saint Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Well in that case I just don't get it.. 5000 fans suddenly come out of the woodwork and want to watch BHA week in week out? Why aren't they trying to go to games now? When we played at the Dell, towards the end I was a member.. used to get on the phone every other Monday morning to try tp buy tickets.. some weeks I managed to get through and other times I used to drive 20 miles up the road so I could get Radio Solent Anyway I digress... fecking BHA Problem for them is GP will go elsewhere in the summer and they've got no cash to strengthen whereas Saints..
corky morris Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Indeed Brighton have been very very good this year, but at SMS earlier this season they were very cynical & very lucky to have a ref that tolerated their nasty off the ball kicks etc. They came for a point & almost nicked a win with a shocking penalty decision. No worries, they have been better than us this year. Yet they still worry themselves about us..................very strange!

You are making an unfair comparison... - Saints were at the Dell whilst in the Premiership playing some of the best teams in the world. - Brighton at the Withdean in the 3rd tier playing against 3rd tier teams. - You really can't compare the Dell with the Withdean. The Dell was out of date, but the Withdean is something else! It would put off a lot of fans. - They have sold 14,000 season tickets because spec wise, the Amex is one of the best stadiums in the country. New stadiums = rise in interest. Poor views of the pitch like this do not attract large numbers of fans no matter how well you are playing... Problem for them is GP will go elsewhere in the summer and they've got no cash to strengthen whereas Saints.. What makes you think they have no cash? They have an extremely rich owner that just funded a £95m stadium and is funding a new training ground. Edited 26 March, 2011 by Matthew Le God
simonsays Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 (edited) BHA For someone who is a Man U fan you seem to be very obsessed with this 3rd Div team, Saintsweb (full member) Saints Mad, any more SFC sites you visit? Edited 26 March, 2011 by simonsays

Ahh.. have just done the research.... 1. yes -rich owner but maybe if we both go up and we're vying for the same players you would think we're in a better position just because of recent history. 2. If BHA have a poor season it would be interesting to see how many season ticket holders renew... for me you're either a football fan or you're not. I went to the ****ty old dell for 'Rumbleow (sp) cup games v whoever on a wet and windy night in the family centre on top of Milton Rd. ****ed on for 2 hrs with a poor view. MOST people go because they love their team.....
south Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 ... they've got no cash to strengthen whereas Saints.. Just in a failed bid for Will Hoskins, deal worth up to 1 million according to the local paper.
