How on earth can you be satisfied with that ? .... how on earth can't you be?????? what were your expectations pre season???? What level of confidence do you have that our away form is going to improve ? ....did you see the skate game? was an improvement despite the 1-1 result what p*sses me off is that if tw*ts like me can see it, why cant one after another experienced Saints manager see it and do something about it. F**king wake up all of you, our season has run out of steam......jesus Well, imho it will a long, long time before we get such a good opportunity to secure promotion to the PL again, maybe even longer than NC and the Liebherrs are willing to give this project. ..... yeah top of the league at xmas and it's all over, **** sake saints you should be 20 points clear , can't believe we lost a game at home for the the 1st time this year..( manure aside) Will people now accept that we won't go up? ....no, anything else?

alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 I expect this thread to be locked pretty soon, since it is nothing but thinly-veilled personal abuse. But to deal with the final sentence, why is the comparison with pre-season the only one that is valid ? Why are we not allowed to compare with November, for example ?

Dr Who? Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 One of the most successful Liverpool team only used 14 players in a whole season. Any team that loses it's main players are going to struggle. We are just off form that's for sure, but we will bounce back. I do think the team should have gone away a few weeks ago to freshen up, if not physically then mentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem withthe likes of Alps, Dalek and 'Crestfallan' is they dont seem to appreciate that what we have achived since January 2011 - a calander year in hich we have played 50 League games - won 34, drawn 8 and lost just 8 - a total of 110 points in 50 games.... whatever the poor form of December, any team that has those stats deserves huge credit. Especially, as those with a brain know that the side has OER achieved since getting promoted with NA as you say squeezing teh last drop oout of the side that is on paper between 3-8th IMHO. If NA gets teh opportunity to freshen the side with added quality, there is still the chance we can be top 2 but it will take a gargantuan effort - and for a side hjust promoted even top 6 would be a monumental achievement. What really ****s me off though is the agressive bull that these posters display, as though we should be 'walking the league' etc and that someone must be at fault for, or we are somehow failing - there is so much venom its unreal. Sure be disspointed, but no matter what Decmeber has been like, it has obviously been crap for the the likes of West Ham and Boro too as we are still top. Yes we need to pick things up now, but FFS give the side a break - look at those stats and tell me you are not [proud of your team - if you cant be, then feck off and support someone else as we dont need such bull sh!tters...

OttawaSaint Posted 1 January, 2012 Share Posted 1 January, 2012 Anyone who has played football at any level knows that the players are giving it their all. Sometimes when things aren't clicking it can be counterproductive to try too hard. A player will get into a scoring position and instead of the effortless guided shot into the corner that they were doing in earlier games, the pressure makes them try and "make sure" and end up blasting it with less accuracy. The next few months will be a real test of the teams' mettle, hopefully they can find that effortless looking form again, but they are trying out there, I am sure they want it as much as anyone.

His quotes indicate that he takes a very different attitude to you. If current form was repeated to the end of the season, we would finish with about 65 points and around 10th in the table. If you think that can't happen look at Sheffield Wed, 2nd in L1 this time last year and finished 15th while Saints went from 5th to 2nd. Is Adkins a 'wrist slasher' (moronic term) because he says the team lacked quality against Bristol City, or Jack Cork who said the team were too predictable? Adkins is quoted as wanting to sign two or three players in January, which seems a far more sensible approach than the do nothing attitude suggested by your post. The intelligent approach to management when things go wrong is to identify why and to do something about it. Fact is, that because the rot set in outside of the transfer window, all that could be done until now has been to identify the weaknesses and find the potential signings. The reported T Lee signing suggests the club have been doing something about it, not taking the attitude that we were good in October, we've just had a bit of bad luck and it will all come right again. We have actually had some very good luck that has kept us clear at the top of the table despite dropping 13 points from 7 games. That luck has been the below-par performance of West Ham whilst missing some key players and Boro surprisingly drawing at home to The Posh but the gap between automatic promotion and a play-off place is now so small that it would be crass stupidity to rely on luck and one certainty is that NA and NC are far from stupid.

I doubt if we will not be in the top six by the end of the season but being in the top 2 is not a certainty but with other top teams not consistently winning there is always a chance. I dont recall exactly where we were this time last year but I dont think we were in the top 2 but we were playing well getting points and I was very confident promotion would be achieved. We may very well suceed in promotion but the team must improve and we have some hard away games coming up as well as Leicester and Cardiff at home. We have so far had the rub of the green with regard to injuries but with Fonte and Chaplow out it shows how performance can be affected without key players.

Quick question alpine, obviously in your opinion you try and give a balanced and objective opinion on saints at the moment. One which you may agree, in the spectrum of objectivity is in the fair middle. Not pessimistic or "happy clappy", just rightly in the middle... What I'd really like to know mate is what, in YOUR opinion would you give as an example of someone being unreasonably negative and pessimistic of saints current position? One which you would argue is totally unreasonable as is at the other end of the scale the happy clappy one? Genuine question, really curious to know your answer?

Yeah, so is the term happy-clappers. For what it's worth I haven't seen one poster saying they are happy with our December points, I haven't seen one post not agreeing that we need to strengthen and freshen up in the January window. I got in late yesterday afternoon and was happy to see that we were still top by two points, so from that perspective I am happy, and with the comments from NA about their work behind the scenes to strengthen. But I have seen over-reaction, as quoted by the OP, who notably didn't say who he was quoting but 2 minutes later was replied to just to confirm who! Made me laugh anyway.

I didnt look at the match thread on here as I was at the game and I can well imagine what the wrist slashers were typing. If one of the early shots had gone in then we would have seen an avalanche of goals but fate conspired against us . Oh the ref was absolutley Dire.

I've got total faith in NA . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Majestic Channon Posted 1 January, 2012 Author Share Posted 1 January, 2012 Agreed, its is very annoying as you end up just reading there drivel despite having them on ignore. It almost makes it pointless putting them on ignore. Yeah sorry about that , point taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune Posted 1 January, 2012 Share Posted 1 January, 2012 I've got total faith in NA . I haven't, not total faith. The way we are playing now can be summed up as "the bubble has burst". I hope NA can address this FAST or all the good work will have been for nothing, and the drinking culture at the club is a problem he needs to sort out. The fact we have such a bad drinking culture in the first place doesn't say much about his control over the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windmill Arm 2 Posted 1 January, 2012 Share Posted 1 January, 2012 I expect this thread to be locked pretty soon, since it is nothing but thinly-veilled personal abuse. But to deal with the final sentence, why is the comparison with pre-season the only one that is valid ? Why are we not allowed to compare with November, for example ?Alpine, you bring it on yourself. Quite how you have the audacity to make the comments you do when you've never been to St Marys is beyond me. Personally I take most of your posts as jokes, because thats all they are, you know very little about the club, its players or its real fans, you are basically the forum clown.

John B Posted 1 January, 2012 Share Posted 1 January, 2012 View Im with you re too many people quoting the two trolls you mention . They are boyh om my igmnore list but they still get under my skin. Yes I was disappointed with the result on friday but that's football. At least I go to games as frequently as I can. I didnt look at the match thread on here as I was at the game and I can well imagine what the wrist slashers were typing. If one of the early shots had gone in then we would have seen an avalanche of goals but fate conspired against us . Oh the ref was absolutley Dire. How james got away with the ball outside the area is scandalous, Lambert was being constantly fouled and where was the refs whistle. # Finally for the two trolls mentioned I hope you have the most miserable new years to date and your prozac runs out The Ref had a better sight of the James incident than me and I could see the ball was on the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune Posted 1 January, 2012 Share Posted 1 January, 2012 who said theres a drinking culture??? There have been enough incidents where drink has been involved. These players are supposed to be professional sportsmen. It's about time football caught up with the times. We are not living in the 1970's any more. The workplace has changed for everyone else, yet these so called professionals (they are not professionals if they are drinking more than an odd pint) are allowed to do what they want whilst earning huge wages. Adknis needs to sort it out at our club. What other clubs do is their business, but we should be ahead of the game on this given Adkins background.

Viking Warrior Posted 1 January, 2012 Share Posted 1 January, 2012 John B the ref only had sight of it when he looked a few seconds after, That is why James was looking smug , He carefully inched the ball back on the line in a split second before the ref bothered to look. Ask yourself why James stayed down for an eternity before getting up James was directly opposite me when the incident happened . And I was wearing Glasses. The ball was def out side the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
