Pancake Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 There’s no doubting that the Liebherr Group backed side have the capability to spend money on players to strengthen their side #fail
Pancake Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 God what a terrible, boring, badly written article So we have gone from a 1 man team to a 2 man team? And if we spend big, like QPR, it will almost certain we will go down? yawn.
Saint Charlie Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 We definitely do need some Premiership experience - thats why I am suprised on the HCDAJFU threads that most of the players mentioned are from the Championship or lower.

This Charming Man Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 There's so much wrong with that I don't even know where to start.
Manuel Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 So in summary, a) buying players does not equal success and b) we need to buy some players. Inspired.
Colinjb Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Dreadful article. I should know, i've produced enough tat in my time.
wireframebox Posted 1 May, 2012 Author Posted 1 May, 2012 Billy Sharp got 7 goals in our last 6 games, Rickie got 3? I think we're more than a 2 man team... we've got 3...?
Saintjersey Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 This is what you get from a 12 year old pompey supporter.
saintsmike25 Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 He chooses to forget the fact that jos scored 8 goals, Morgan's influence from midfield. Oh and tadanari lee, the difference between us and qpr is that we have a consistent goalscorer. What's so bad about that? The guy also chooses to say that we all felt promotion was secured on the last day, complete tosh. The article stinks of terrible bias and is poorly written.
sfc1976 Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 One of the best things about the internet is that it can give a voice to those who would not otherwise be heard. Unfortunately a consequence of that is that you get a lot of these unpaid blogs by those who quite rightly would never have been heard because of their complete lack of talent and insight. A perfect example of the keyboard empowered moron in action here.
Appy Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Possibly the most ill informed article I've ever read on us.
Dig Dig Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 The blogger is just a child, don't expect much intelligent insight.
stev2001 Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Aren't we more like Norwich than QPR? Back to back promotions, finished second etc. We have as much chance following their path than QPRs. This article doesn't seemed to be based on anything other than his own thoughts.
SNOWY Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 I lost the will to live about half way through that. It's going to be a long summer.

The guy also chooses to say that we all felt promotion was secured on the last day, complete tosh. The article stinks of terrible bias and is poorly written. probably because he hasn't a clue what he's talking about.If I catch his drift correctly you aren't a Premier League side unless your fans pour into the town centre immediately after the game,smash up shops and get p*ssed in parks.
Turkish Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 'ckin' hell. It's a 16 year old kid writing a blog. Stop getting you knickers in a twist over it.
Surrey Saint Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Dear oh dear what a poor effort. What is he talking about? Once upon a time I taught English to 11 - 18 year olds. If one of my Fifth years had offered me this blogger's effort I would have given it him back with the request that he rewrite it giving thought to construction of argument.

Daren W Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 'ckin' hell. It's a 16 year old kid writing a blog. Stop getting you knickers in a twist over it. Just what I thought, I badly thought out blog that comes from someone who obviously has no idea of how Saints got to the Premiership in the first place... and it wasn't by being a two man team.. Sounds like some Football manager obsessed geek who plays fantasy football in the Sun and thinks that makes him authority on football. Where is this fortune we've spent? Do Norwich and Swansea have this huge pool of Premier League talent we lack? Is it even worth us turning up next season?

Thedelldays Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 'ckin' hell. It's a 16 year old kid writing a blog. Stop getting you knickers in a twist over it. wait till there is a negative article in the paper
Turkish Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 wait till there is a negative article in the paper I thought we all didn't care what the papers say?
Sour Mash Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 God what a terrible, boring, badly written article So we have gone from a 1 man team to a 2 man team? And if we spend big, like QPR, it will almost certain we will go down? yawn. Its not even an article though is it? A blog isn't really any different to a random post on a forum.
mitch01 Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Hmmm, we have little premier league experience, as opposed to Norwich/Swansea when they went up. Deary me. I may retort on my own blog: http://notplayedonpaper.blogspot.co.uk/ (shameless plug), but I have some pesky exams to do first.
Toomer Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 I have not read the article, the reaction to it tells it's not worth taking the time to do so.
wireframebox Posted 1 May, 2012 Author Posted 1 May, 2012 I'm afraid to say, I posted before fully reading... won't happen again, sorry!
Golden Balls Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 If he's 16, how would he know the city centre bars were quiet? The ones I was in were bouncing!! [video=youtube_share;SkNbOQAvxlI] The rest of the blog is funny though. You got to credit him for trying, but it is terrible!
S-Clarke Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 That's awful. Lack of any research what so ever. not worth reading.
The9 Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Varsity was absolutely mental, quite frankly. Aside from me drinking champagne and shots which came from God knows where, we were outsinging the loudly pumped up football music (annoying) regularly and people were dancing on the tables at one point. So one other bit of complete balls in an article that sounds like its full of them. I'm not even giving him the satisfaction of the hits.
gonzo Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Basically, that article was s**t. Poorly informed, and from his twitter hashtag thingy clearly has a dislike for Saints anyway. I laughed at the 'budding sports journalist' bit.
Secret Site Agent Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 There was no need to cheer or celebrate, they knew that promotion was technically sealed before the game; Yes, a draw or loss would not have mattered. Oh wait, yes it would. An air of overconfidence had replaced the need for a rendition of “When The Saints Go Marching In”. Eh? Overconfidence? Really? After Middlesborough? There’s no doubting that the Liebherr Group backed side have the capability to spend money on players to strengthen their side You mean the estate of Marcus Liebherr of the Mali Group. This is just one example of a team trying to buy their safety in the Premier League and I think if Saints try this tactic, they could be destined to a return to the 11:45pm slot on BBC One on Saturday night. Lets see, and give a more equal analogy. The Championship: Saints spent a few quid on 4 players and got one on a free, so spent frugally. Result Promotion as they added to an already established team. West Ham and Leicester spent big. Result? One in the play off lottery and another nowhere near. So, in conclusion, SFC knows how to spend fruaggally and establish a team unlike Wham and Leicester and QPR who produced a team full of very expensive individuals. One of my fears for next season lies with The Saints’ reliance upon two key players in getting promoted. There’s no doubt who these two players are with Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana being voted FourFourTwo’s second and third best players in the Football League. Yes, right, of course no one has scored any goals apart from Lambo. Perhaps it isn’t the fact he wasn’t there that was the issue, but, like when others aren’t availble, the shape changes and it isn’t what they practiced. This year’s newly promoted have had none such similar reliance. When Steve Morison’s scoring for Norwich stopped, Grant Holt stepped up as well as Anthony Pilkington. Swansea have had shared responsibilities this season with Nathan Dyer, Scott Sinclair and Danny Graham have all threatened Unlike Guly, Hooervelt, Sharp, Lee, Lallana,. Saints also lack Premier League experience in their side. Only five of the sixteen in the crucial matchday squad for the win over Coventry had made appearances at the highest level. Hang on? He wants us to buy players now? But I thought that was a bad thing. And here you are, advocating the same. It’s fair to say, the few that have experience have not had a good one but this season a side in similar circumstances, Norwich, have done well. Hang on? I thought Saints were like QPR? Or are they like Norwich now? And with regard to the Premiership, do they use their hands, and play 4 quarters, each one 25 minutes long, and have 15 players? It’s the same game, and experience is learnt. If only players with premiership experience can play in the Premiership, doesn’t this mean it’ll die out in 10 years? Of course this is a theory on the status quo and a lot remains to be seen as to what happens in the upcoming transfer windows. Oh, so he says, in conclusion, that despite all he has alluded to above, the theory is based on the fact that Saints MAY do a QPR, or MAY NOT. Thanks Cameltoe. It was real. And I bet he’s ginger too.
gaz Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Bless his cotton socks. I bet his English teacher gives him a gold star.
