Wet Fannies

Indeed.

 

I find it disturbing that, in the meantime, Saints fans are not permitted to express their frustrations and worries to fellow fans without fear of abuse.

 

Do me a favour you love the attention which is why you swarm over the message board with negativity and provocation. You don't simply express fears and frustration you question the integrity of the team even though they've given us so much in the last two years.

Being a bit of a wet fannie (whatever that alludes to) I thought we were poor tonight and bottled it. No leaders. Needed a big player to step up and really go for it - but we didnt. Great start, loads of the ball - but absolutely no end product whatsoever - totally ineffective. Feel gutted for the fans - who were the best 'player(s)' by far.

 

Not convinced that Coventry will be quite the walkover that some are professing - they have nothing to lose and everything to prove, so who knows - we may end up in the play offs, where, incidentally I wouldnt fancy us at all.

Don't know what to say to that really Alpine - myself, I don't have a problem with you at all, but I see that others do. All I can say is that it's not over yet, so I personally won't be slitting my wrists anytime soon.

It's been nothing but 'you're an embarrassment for this' and 'you're an embarrassment for that' recently. Sorry DellDays, but the last thing this board needs is another thread of that kind.

 

This is football. It was always on the cards that it could go to the last game of the season, and it's a bit nerve wracking. So what. That's the game we all sign up to support. Get behind the team next Saturday and we'll see what happens.

 

Does anything more than that need to be said?

 

Personally I think that the biggest 'wet fanny' on this forum is highlighted there. I just think that he struggles to actually maintain his own frustrations and therefore has to take it out on anybody or everbody else. People will show their emotions in different ways, people will have differing opinions. Just because your opinion is not a glowing endorsement of southampton football team (no matter how they have played) - then you are a 'wet fanny'.

 

I'm a 'wet fanny', I don't think promotion is quite so cut and dried as others do. Coventry will not roll over and die - it could, still, all go pete tong. 'Wet Fanny' or just alternate, and realistic view of upcoming events?

Thing is everyone does express emotion, its the beauty and curse of this game that you get sucked in and end up so emotionly drained when following teh highs and lows of any side. No one is saying you cant express that or opinion on performance etc, but IMHO given where we currently find ourselves it is simply wrong to question the 'integrity' of the team. Others obviously agree and that is why the abuse is hurled. Not at expressed opinion, but at what some consider to be simply wrong.

 

We have played some cracking football this year. We have been poor at times. We have rode our luck at times, yet also been unlucky (the lady can be a right b**** at times), but throughout we have have been in the top two which is remarkable and any side which lacked bottle or heart would not be in our position - that IMHO is a simple fact.

 

Sport and football is also all about confidence and ability to deliver consistent high levels of performance - which is a tough thing to do both physically and psychologcally. To expect 100% all the time is unrealistic, but out of 24 clubs we have achieved the highest level of consistency and performance bar 1 otehr club... I would say thats pretty good... and thus questioning teh integrity seems like a frustration too far in my book.

 

Anyway, been a tough week at work, still got loads to do, so I will bid all you fannies, wet, dry and just a little moist a good night. Chin up we just need to delay teh Party a little. Alps, hang in there mate. You suffer the the emotional sings to extremes so its bound to get you down, but it IS only football and if you were able to see the game and what it meant to Billy Sharp when he scored today, you would have seen that life is not all about a 2-1 defeat at 'Boro. 8 more days and it will be over...

I have no problem with people expressing their emotions on this site, if it helps them with the pain of losing. Luckily, the opinions of Internet geeks who have never had the football talent, to be worthy of cleaning the boots of one of our academy players, are going to have absolutely no effect on our prospects of promotion.

Very few of them are even going to be present, to cheer the team on, when they conclude one of the best seasons I can remember. Not that they'd cheer that much, if they could afford the air fare...

I happen to love our club and if not this season, we will reach the promised land soon. It is meant to be...

I've mentioned this on the depressing post-mortem thread, but even you guys must be aware how much pleasure a wet fanny gives; it certainly does me. So how about calling this the "limp *****" thread/ More appropriate on sooo many levels..

 

I do and its ironic that its the people that spend most of their time on here with their epic post counts use it most. Its like calling someone a c**t......they're really useful.

I seriously hope we dont go up....can you imagine Alpine wetting his pants when we have not bought anyone by the beginning of May!

 

Seriously Alpline why do you follow Saints ? You revel in a defeat, are completely absent when Saints win .. would you get more enjoyemnt following that lot down the M27 ?

im not. the team have gone way beyond my and nearly everyone expectations...we will go up..the utter tripe that come from your fingers when we lose is rather disturbing

 

We have massively over achieved. We did not properly invest over the summer and to get were we are now is a massive compliment to the players and management.

I have my doubts we will be promoted this season but will still consider it a success and with the right investment and planning next seasaon can see us ready for another exciting promotion campaign.

Stay positive and remember how far we have come !

With one game to go, against a team that has just been relegated, in front of a packed house at SMS - that would be your awe inspiring team talk, would it?

I agree with Alpine. There is no point pontificating about what might have happened or how well we have done up to this point, the simple fact is that this will probably be our best chance of promotion to the promised land for years, so we should grab this opportunity by the balls well we can, With this knowledge in mind our recent run of poor form is disappointing to say the least, and I feel our defence has become too fragile, our midfield non existent and our forward play too reliant on Rickie. Also We didn't test the Middlesbrough keeper at all today in what was in all intents and purposes a must win game, which is uber disappointing, so can you all honestly say that the recent run of form fills you with confidence?

In light of the fact that TDD doesn't appear to be on watch - can I just say that you are a 'Wet Fanny', I think.

Hmmm! Wet fanny or not I can see this season going down in Saints history as one big f@@k up. Can anyone seriously say that the early season form has been replicated consistently since the winter? Recent form might have been good enough to stave off relegation but promotion stuff it aint.

 

Should WHU win on Monday how many would be really comfortable on Saturday given Saints home form against those stirring the bottom of the ocean floor?

 

Those of us with memories that go back decades will know that things are far from done and dusted.

''Given Saints home form'' - what, the best form in the league? Yeah. that's it.

 

We'll be fine by the way.

At most moments, even over the last month, almost all of us would have taken the position we are in tonight like a shot.

 

Disappointing not to clinch it tonight, but the team have shown so much good stuff this season, they have every chance of doing it.

 

You have to think back all of four days to out last good win............

 

Nutshell.

Ah! The finest example of a partial quote.

 

I said "given Saints home form against those stirring the bottom of the ocean floor". Now that would be slightly different would it not? Are you a politician?

 

Now, for the record, I'm somewhat confident that Leicester will do a job for us. I'm less confident that Saints will do it for themselves although I still believe that we'll win through.

You think Leicester at home are more likely to avoid defeat against West Ham, than Saints are to beat Coventry at home?

 

You don't work for Ladbrokes do you? Thought not.

No I don't think that way. I just ponder the day itself. If we were at home to, say Bristol City, I'd be more than confident. It wouldn't necessarily make me right.

 

I reckon we've got more than enough to win through but I reckon we'll be fine on Monday night because teams that have nothing to play for often spring a surprise.

If we dont get promoted, dont bother coming on here over the summer, because I am going to make it my personal f**king mission in life to push the site rules to the limits and sneer at/remind you of your "my c*ck is bigger than yours" posts at every opportunity.

DD, why do you need to resort to such an infantile approach when people – Saints fans, just like you – express concerns about the way the team played or about decisions made or not made by the manager?

 

You took a run at me after I expressed some concerns following the Barnsley game about us not getting the ball forward fast enough – not all the time but some of the time, especially when we are fielding players who need the early ball. That day it was Lee but since then it’s been De Ridder. I said that the weakness didn’t cost us against Barnsley but that it might against better teams.

 

Since then we’ve had lots of the ball but failed to score the key goals in four out of five games – that’s what happens when you take a long time to build attacks. During that vital time we’ve gone 1W, 1D and 3L.

 

In three of those games we’ve conceded open-play goals from the "D" on the edge of the box. It’s basic stuff to defend the D when they have the ball and attack the D when we have it, but we don’t do either very well.

 

What should have been a comfortable championship has become a bum-squeaking fight for second place.

 

Why can’t you accept that people – Saints fans, just like you – can hold valid concerns without deserving to be called “wet fannies”? Why can't you accept that we can like the team and the manager a whole lot, but not be blind to some areas that may need improvement?

 

I have no problem with you disagreeing, especially if you offer a counter view, but the sneering is needless and childish.

 

 

Well said. Last night I felt so frustrated and went into Alpine mood, today I still ,feel the same after a bad nights sleep (sure I wasn't the only Saints fan who did).

No plan B when we are playing badly frustrates the hell out of me.

Sorry I thought we're a solid second, 5 points ahead of third and only denied by a shockingly bad ref who seriously affected our tempo?

Delldays is totally right... Totally...

 

Its not if West Ham win their game in hand. To blame it all on the ref is a poor excuse for a team that only got one shot on target all game.

What he said. Cov are already down, you could say well they have nothing to play for and they're cr*p anyway and thats why they were relegated, or you could say that without an iota of pressure or expectation on them they could relax, play as well as they are capable of and give us a hard game. Personally I have my fingers crossed for monday night.

DellDays, Daren W et al are cowards and bullies (as everyone knows, the two fit perfectly well together).

 

They get away with abusing dissenting voices with crude language, knowing fully well it is almost impossible for the targets of their vitriol to strike back should such enlightened minds and over-loud opinions as theirs get proven hillariously and ridiculously wrong, for example, on the last day of the season, because the people doing so will be labelled as "I told you sos" and accused of revelling in the disaster that will be failure to secure auto promotion, and will then get even MORE abuse from a wider community.

 

As I said, pathetic cowardice. The sort of qualities that the Royal Navy nowadays looks for when manning patrol boats in the Gulf, just in case Iranian gun-boats take a shine to them....

 

 

Are you some sort of idiot???

Point One. If anyone's a coward or a bully here it's you, you sad pathetic little man. You post abuse on here more than anyone else and the moment you get it back you run off crying to the admin like a ****ing child. How many times have you taken umbrage at a comment or a post when it's not even aimed at you?

You sad, pathetic, attention seeking little drama queen...

Perhaps you can explain where I'm "Bullying" you? I agree with Delldays, you're pressing the panic button because we lost ONE game, just as you always do when there's bad result... Did you debate my point about the ref, the "second yellow" and the effect it had on our game? It was the most BLATANT yellow you'll see and yes, it did change the game.

But no, you just launch into the most ridiculous, offensive possible. Quite frankly your comments on Delldays are waaay over the top and I think it's about time someone logged a complaint about your freakish behaviour.

Quite frankly I find your assumption that the players that have got us to second in the Championship are now bottling it, somewhat offensive. Where's your ****ing gratitude for one of the best seasons we've seen in YEARS??

Grow up, you sad, sad little man...

Admin, why do you let him get away with this sort of bull****?

You may well be right. The odds still favour us. I for one certainly havent given it the big "We've blown it" this evening.

 

BUT......

 

Your abusiveness when people express their frustrations and doubts when we choke big games and throw our promotion back into question is simply unacceptable.

 

So I offer you these words of advice....

 

If we dont get promoted, dont bother coming on here over the summer, because I am going to make it my personal f**king mission in life to push the site rules to the limits and sneer at/remind you of your "my c*ck is bigger than yours" posts at every opportunity.

 

While genuine fans wll feel a sense of injustice, sadness and disappointment.

 

If ever a single post revealed the true nature of a sad individual.

Agree wholeheartedly - what I despise beyond belief is someone who turns on their own team at the hint of a misplaced pass and pours gloomy invective over the webscape at the hint of something going not quite right.

 

I try not to get personal (I fail miserably) but to me this is a supporters forum and alpine saint in no way fits this definition. If it's some kind of therapy that his shrink has recommended then please can it be taken to the sh it repository at the East end of the M27.

The sort of f**king complacent arrogance thats going to see us butt-f*cked by Cardiff (a team we couldnt beat or even get that close to during the regular season) over 2 legs in a couple of weeks time...

 

Be prepared to eat your words, Galley-boy..

 

Yes, just how you are enjoying being the d*ck-swinging Über fan now.

 

I will be gutted at missing promotion, the very small silver lining will be laughing at you.

 

I dont think I am.

 

My question: why have you turned into such a smug abusive Über-Fan bell-end ? Or have you always been and military discipline has simply been keeping it in check ?

 

Also serious questions

 

Which doesnt augur well for next season if we dont go up since SFC and NA will be a much better known quality from Match 1, which makes it stone cold clear that its now or never about promotion.

 

We'll worry about our competitiveness in the PL over the summer - if we get there.

these are views of a so called supporter...on a supporter forum.

these are not one off rash, heat of the moment views...this will happen every time we lose.

 

adds no value what so ever to this forum.....

we all get pished off at poor results but this aggressive tone is seen every time we lose..

 

I mean, how sad, making it his mission in life to rub it in if we fail to go up./

You gus! You talk about wet fannies as though that is a bad thing! You could pretty much write the script for this forum after the fianl whistle and the usual suspects have not disappointed.

 

We hve done incredibly well this season but REading have been more consistant since bfore Christams so fair play to them.

 

We lost our way recently against Blackpool, Portsmouth, Reading and Middlesbrough where you would think a top 2 team would not have done and the simple fcat is that we do have weaknesses in our game and they do get exploited.

 

TDD tells us that we are better suited than Reading if we go up. I don't agree. BOth teams will needs to strengthen and adapt their tactics if they aren't to come straight back down.

 

It is no sectret that I am no Cortese fan and would rather have Pardew here still. But Adksins has done a terrific job in the last couple of seasons and Cortese is on course to complete his plan ahead of schedule, so what is there not to be happy about?

 

Yep, it would have been great if we had finished the job yesterday, but we didn't. That is so often the case with us andwe will be looking at other results from behind the sofa not for the first time.

 

At the end of the day it is just a game of football, not a matter of life and death. We have certainly exceeded my expectations this season and no matter what happens next week I don't see this season as a let down. We will end up. with all the other teams, where we deserve to over the season as a whole.

 

Second would be amazing but third would be no shame.

That's the difference for me, in that in this passionate, enthralling and exciting game you're always going to have knee jerk reactions and moments of jubilation and frustration (fook me, my missus got out of the room pretty quickly on occasions yesterday!!), but some on here do take it a tad too far (be it Dalek's repetitive finishing 17th trolling to the over negative posts some seem to thrive on).

 

I'll always forgive those posting in moments of highs and lows, fook me if you had seen after West Ham had thumped Brighton, you'd understand!!!!

I believe it was Rupert Lowe who once referred to the 'lunatic fringe'...I know what he meant now.

 

Five clear (and a better goal difference)....some utter cock up.....what a great season, with what must be a 90% chance of a fantastic outcome.

 

If you moan now you will hate next season...but then you have hated probably the best back to back seasons of the last 30 years.....the joke is on you!

Absolutely spot on. Alpine brings nothing to the forum other than trying to cause division and a constantly, ridiculous over the top negative view. In previous years some of it was wholly justified, but this year he has shown himself go be a total embarrassment and I honestly think he some inner issues. If we aren't winning every game he panics and gets abusive to others who have more of a level head. This is literally every game we don't win. It's a total insult to the team who've done so well for most of the season. The guy is an absolute joke, and I bet no one would miss him around here. Sorry had to get this off my chest

What I hate most is the attack on the integrity and adkins as 'failures' - I honestly believe Adkins knew exactly what we needed, added pace, guile and unpredictability to deal with sides like Boro, who have a smart manager and pressed us high up - which is why he brought in Lee, who befor his injury was just startimng to Gell nicely. For me, I think with Lee in te side we may have beaten Reading and Boro and be sitting top as champions - but in a hughly competitive league where we dont have infinite resources, its these fine lines that make the difference. In addition, our momentum and form were disrupted in November through injuries to Rickie and Adam and Chappers - and we have not quite reached the same heights as during those first 12 games - as other sides have picked up their game.

 

Emotional reactions to defeat is normal, but I would expect more reflection and acknowledgement of what we have achieved in the cold light of day from fans who like to suggest they know something about the game.

Yes, because I am supposed to take all the abuse I receive on the chin, arent I ?

 

If you would genuinely spend the summer as you indicated, you need psychiatric help and it is beholden on the moderators of this forum to help you. That is all I want to say on the matter. It's not a joke. It's my feeling.

I hope you were simply wound up and said something you don't believe.

As an engineer presumably with a capability for rational, logical thinking would you kindly explain the cause and effect linkage between Katalinic's (alleged) "arrogance" and Southampton FC (I'm assuming that the parties don't know each other) getting "butt-f*cked" in a subsequent football match?

 

Alternatively. if you are focussing on the word "sort" in your statement - what makes you think that one individual's (alleged) arrogance on an internet forum implies the same from a (presumably) unrelated football team?
