Having said that we are all assuming that Wigan are going to be fellow relegation strugglers. Perhaps they are a top 10 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eharty9 Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 I love the man but Kelvin Davis needs to be replaced. hasn't got anywhere near any goals we conceded this season already, clearly your right that we dont need a bigger ground! But let's not be like typical saints fans and write the team off for a mid table finish already, it's only one game. I am quite optimistic when it comes to saints but if we beat man u or arsenal (I understand this may not happen) then we will have the same amount of points we were realistically expecting from the first 4 games. the only problem there would be we have still given wigan (possible relegation candidates) 3 points that may keep them up above us at the end of the season.

Thedelldays Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 i did lol around May when so many were so confident of just having a comfortable season...and looking down their noses at the likes of stoke and sunderland and the prem in general it was suggested that this team is better than WGS team of 2003.... we have a great deal of work to do and a great deal to get right...I think we will..I think we will finish 16th..we were always going to be bottom after the first 4 games. I remember the prem very well from last time..which some of the younger posters may not...it is a very hard league where the poorest teams will punish you if you give them a chance...like we did against city and like wigan did to us.. we desperately lack pace at CB and in the attacking 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 That was the most bored I've been at a football game in a while now. No real opportunities apart from long range efforts. The game had no real tempo to it either. Itchen North was sh*t. Moved there because I thought we'd stand and sing but it was all sat up to about EE/FF in block 2and the stewards were little Nazis. Never had that much grief to sit down ever in the Itchen North before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 25 August, 2012 Author Share Posted 25 August, 2012 I don't know why some of you clowns think I'm enjoying paying £575 to see us come up well short against Wigan FFS! I hate seeing us lose. All I'm doing is asking for the views now of the views now of the self title intelligent posters that predicted The premier league would be a walk in the park and we'd play champions league football in front of a packed stadium. I'm yet to see a view from the intellegent posters. I await their input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 Yet all true and all what posters have said previously! Too many have seriously underestimated this league. I know the OP was trying to be funny, and remind a lot of people about the rubbish they had spouted, but when I read the thread title before reading the bull**** accompnaying it, I agreed. The PL is average, the quality of football so far displayed, admittedly in 2 games, is shockingly poor. Wigan today were a complete crock of ****e, I remember seeing many teams playing better, and certainly more entertaining football in the Championship and even in some cases L1. Man City were really really average last week, and a half decent team would have got something from that game. The shock to me is that Saints management and players have seriously OVERestimated the standard, something I never thought would happen. They have tried to change the way we play to deal with the frighteningly impressive premier league teams, when sticking to what we used to be good at would actually have been a better option. Last week we saw 9 or 10 players who were clearly overawed, even scared of what was happening, only a 10-15 minute spell in the 2nd half showed what could be done with a different approach, being brave. Today was mind-numbingly awful, OK we hit the bar twice and had a few good efforts, but some players were clearly afraid to attack, and were apparently over-awed by their illustrious opponents. I have said all along that the PL is over-rated, other than the Top 4 or 5 the standard is actually no better than the top 6/7 in the Championship. Today was proof if it were needed, the sad fact is that NA and his team have misunderstood and hence we looked absolutely shocking against a very, very poor team. I know we will improve, hopefully we will bring in a few, it is quite clear a new GK, LB and 2 CBs are necessary, but we really do need the spark in midfield that is currently sadly lacking. I also look forward to Chun being fully fit again, I can see him doing well, and know that he will not be overawed like some of our players seem to be.

VectisSaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 This. Very much so. Except in reality its much less than 6 days. No it isn't, in fact it is very much more than 6 days, if 2 hours and 50 minutes can be considered "very much more". I always assumed that maths was not an issue for you Alps, seems I was wrong. I guess you are trying to make the point that it is a bank holiday on Monday and that tomorrow is a Sunday, well here's a shock for you, people these days work on Sunday and even sign players (except for the actual business of signing the contract), **** sake even Mick Channon was signed on a Sunday. And as for Bank Holiday Monday, so you seriously believe that everyone will have their feet up because its a supposed holiday, its not a holiday in Europe, and millions will be working like any other day.

I find it highly amusing all the big talk during the last couple of years about how great we were, had a team packed full of should be internationals playing in our best side ever. and how st Mary's would be packed to te rafters every week with fans desperate to see premier league football and how anyone who disagreed was negative and had an agenda.

But I was expecting seeing us lose the majority of games this year, and so far I've paid £676 to Saints for the priveledge. Truth is, I expect us to get relegated, and I'll enjoy life in the Championship again next season. The best we can hope for is to be a West Brom type team: down one year and back the next: but each time being able to strengthen the team year on year until we can stay up and compete. The five year plan is over: up early. The next plan should now be operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
