Wiggles31 Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 Do we still hate him? On Super Sunday he said to Jamie Redknapp he was pleased for us being top. And lets be honest when he slagged us off after leaving we were a complete joke of a club at the time, what with Woodward and Lowe. Just think it’s a bit harsh singing about his wife etc. Can’t we just boo him and keep it a bit light hearted rather than personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 Why boo him at all? He did a decent job for us I thought, and his supposed slagging of us after he left has been massively exaggerated. I thought his comments were perfectly fair. The abuse he has received from some quarters about it has been nothing short of disgusting IMO.

I've already said we will need to score two or more goals to win on saturday, because I am fully expecting him to score at least one against us.

Sour Mash Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 Never really get why people are so bothered about him to be honest, some of the songs are a bit pathetic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLove Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 I remember the game up at WBA with Nigel Pearson in charge and we needed to Win or Draw to have a chance to stay up. Old KP "missed" what seemed like 20 easy goal scoring shots he would normally put away. The guy never slagged us off just stated that things did not go so well when he came to us which actually was true considering what happened. I like the guy and never really got why we always have a go at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggles31 Posted 28 March, 2012 Author Share Posted 28 March, 2012 If we can keep the Phillips' quiet then we should be ok in this game. I fancy us to nick 3 points. A point would be a good point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucks Saint Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 The guy never slagged us off just stated that things did not go so well when he came to us which actually was true considering what happened Er, no, he said he was glad to get out of SFC, because he had never been happy while at Saints, couldnt quite work out why but it was always strange and he was glad to be moving on. 1) Seemed very happy while being well paid and things were going well; 2) contrast with Crouchie who seemed genuinely sad to be leaving us. I liked him as a player, he was top quality and still think he is class. But his words on leaving were pretty sh*tty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 I say lets not boo him coz that'll stop us scoring against us. Who remembers WBA v Saints in 06/07 when he scored and celebrated in front of us after he had been ribbed all afternoon, and Saints v Brum in 08/09 when he got ribbed about his wife again as he came on as a sub - his first touch was kicking the ball into our net.

SNOWY Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 I always felt he gave it his all whilst on the pitch which is all anyone can ask. As for his comments after leaving. I feel he was refreshingly honest. A large number of fans seem to prefer to be patronised rather than hear the truth. And as for some of the songs some of our fans sing, well I think it makes us appear really "small time" A bit like the Brighton fans over Adkins comments last season.

Nutwood2 Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 Think we should sign him on a months loan. That would stop him scoring against us and he'd probably bang in a couple for us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dellman Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 I never understood why Harry, in the relegation season, signed five rubbish guys in January including his own son, and left KP on the bench. I didn't like KP but I understand why he didn't think much of his time here, a pity because he was local Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsaint Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 I never hated him. All he said was that the move didn't feel right & he never settled in or some such thing. No biggie. I also feel that he gave a bit less than 100% when we played West Brom at the end of the 2007-08 season (IIRC a draw helped us stay up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 Well I dont think he should be even trying to score against us. ffs, he used to play for us!!!

S-Clarke Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 Not sure why we ever had so much of a hatred against him. Was it because he said something slightly negative on his departure from the club...? It didn't really happen for him here, that's all he was getting at. The partnership between him and Beattie never took off, and where we were when he came to where we were when he left speaks volumes. It wasn't a happy club to play for with the shoddy managers we had going through the door. He's a goal scorer though. Right place, right time - he'll always popup. 16 goals this year I think and he's 38/39? Pretty impressive to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 I've never hated him. Decent for Saints, always gave his best and didn't say anything particularly bad about Saints when he joined Villa other than "it didn't feel right", despite what the torch-wielders on here would claim.

The9 Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 Here's the quote everyone seems to get so upset about : http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aston_villa/4636529.stm "I'm glad I was able to get away from Southampton, I never really felt happy about joining them. "It was a move that never really felt right for me and I'm glad I can resurrect my Premiership career." "My partnership with James [beattie] never really got going. "But I know I can make my mark and still score goals in the Premiership. "It's too early to talk about targets but wherever I have played I've always set my sights on 20 goals a season. "When it became clear Villa wanted me, I didn't want to go anywhere else." Big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 29 March, 2012 Share Posted 29 March, 2012 WTF? You quite often predict defeat - surely in all those instances, you'd be satisfied with a draw? You are a prize idiot. The two are mutually exclusive. If I predict a defeat (which actually I dont recall doing in a LONG time) it does not mean that anything less than a win would satisfy me. In those cases I am predicting a defeat and dissastisfaction. Maybe you should think through your posts a little before you rush to get a dig in.

fez Posted 29 March, 2012 Share Posted 29 March, 2012 As an oldie hoping to work on beyond normal retirement age, I'd cheer any veteran who's still playing regularly at 38.

The9 Posted 29 March, 2012 Share Posted 29 March, 2012 I could care less about his private life, or people chanting about it (short of death and personal grief, which you'd hope is off limits), but I am seriously bothered about anything which gives opponents any motivation.
