Badger Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Cortese recognizing the potential in the club, selling the deal to Marcus, .. As for God let his wrath fall upon Portsea Island. The definition of divine intervention. Wasn't Cortese first attracted to the club by the media frenzy regarding Paul Allen ? If so we owe a debt of gratitude not so much to Paul Allen himself,but the hangers on who invented and perpetuated the myth for ages, whoever they might be (McLoughlin, Help me Rhonnda, Barry the Briefcase ?, a cast of thousands...)

Dark Munster Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 I believe that the -10 points we received after administration in the long run did us a power of good. We had a season to rebuild with a trip to Wembley to boot, last year we continued to build confidence and got into the winning mindset and were promoted. This year we have continued and hopefully Premiership next year. The -10 may have turned out to be one of the best that ever happened to the club. You could well be right. Maybe we should send a thank you note, along with a gift duck, to the ruddy faced bastard, for postponing administration by 3 or 4 days past the point deduction carry-over date.

Dark Munster Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Come on block, let's not get territorial lol, it's the One God, the same God Jesus used to pray to that is all ears for every grateful, thankful soul no matter what religion, race, colour or creed. Funny how the slight mention of God sparks so much response... Should've just thanked a pair of nuns tits! Would've gone down a treat no doubt... Sorry, I couldn't resist.

ericb Posted 12 March, 2012 Share Posted 12 March, 2012 Anyway I can see you too belong to the high iq element of our fan base, so il keep it short for your benefit. The irony of anyone claiming something they can't prove exists being responsible for anything and at the same time questioning people's intelligence is hilarious. Particularly when you see that a large number of academic studies show how those that believe in god are much more likely to be of a lower intellect than those that don't. Anyway back to the point the reason is money, pure and simple, money bought as the manager and players to achieve it same as any other successful club. No doubt that investment came in part because of a decent fanbase and stadium, but as the skates are finding out now that's still financial. Since that's the perceived value in the long run. As with most things in this world, sadly, money rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offix Posted 12 March, 2012 Share Posted 12 March, 2012 It has been quite amazing so far. We might beat the 5 year plan by a couple of years, so I am looking forward to the 3 year plan to win the Prem!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de-fence Posted 13 March, 2012 Share Posted 13 March, 2012 The concept of claiming that God has any effect on the result of 22 men kicking around a football is nothing other than sheer lunacy. To then claim he favours Southampton over others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamSFC Posted 13 March, 2012 Share Posted 13 March, 2012 Who said anything about God supporting football teams? Ooh! Bet that's got you in a thinking quandary now? Anyway I can see you too belong to the high iq element of our fan base, so il keep it short for your benefit. Why thank god for Saints' improvement in fortunes if you don't believe he's favouring us? You're a bit of a nutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you can imply in one sweeping statement that anyone who has a belief in God is intellectually inferior to say an atheist, is scandalous! Bit of a ***tish one that one wasn't it my son!

You can't think of anything intelligent to respond with so you're just going to keep calling me simple without doing anything to demonstrate it. You're a real intellectual. Have you thought of debating Dawkins? You could just respond to all of his well thought-out, structured arguments with "you're an idiot". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's There Posted 13 March, 2012 Share Posted 13 March, 2012 Peronally, the whole team deserve credit- the medical and fitness team that has kept Lambert available for selection etc -each has played their part and I bet that both Adkins and the Don will recognise that... Well done team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure if you explained why you thank God "first and foremost" for the position SFC are in, we can all move on..... I'm a grateful kind of chap what can I say... But to help you move on, you don't have to call someone names to be offensive, it's a shame that we all seem to live in a world of intolerance... I suppose though the fact that you're questioning me on why I thank God moreover another's statement that those acknowledging the existence of God are intellectually inferior! ..tells me what i need to know about your reasoning...

Torrent Of Abuse Posted 14 March, 2012 Share Posted 14 March, 2012 I'd like to thank this thread for proving to me that anyone can find an argument about anything, even when we're top of the league. It's also nice to think how this thread, stupid and off-topic as it's become, is about a billion times more pleasant than the stuff which used to slosh around here while it was Wilde vs Lowe vs UnnamedExecutiveClique1 vs UnnamedExecutiveClique2. How f**ked up were those days? Seriously? And WTF was going on? Maybe best to put the religious discussion to bed, accept we all believe different stuff and stick to the important topic. I mean, if we can thank Lowe for anything, we can easily thank God, Beelzebub or Mickey Fialka if we want too. Me, I'll thank ML and NC for powering us into position as a well-run, focussed, professional club. I'll thank AP for starting off the nucleus of a club which could win games and NA for perfecting that and giving us a squad that truly believes in itself and each other. I'll also thank SRL and AL for being our on-field talismans, AOC for filling up the coffers nicely and SKD for sticking with us when it would have been far easier to leave and go to WHU. What a professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
