Halo Stickman Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 I too will be supporting the Saints from the Chapel on Saturday as per usual. But it seems to me that some on this forum have confused supporting the manager, with supporting the club, almost as if this one man has become the personification of Southampton Football Club in their fevered imaginations. Good point. I used to hate Branfoot’s style of football and would often walk to matches with my head telling it would be better if we lost in order to hasten his departure. Yet, come kick-off the heart would kick in and I’d be supporting the team as passionately as ever. Personally, I want Adkins to stay, but the point the above poster makes i.e. just because some have lost faith in him, doesn’t make them lesser supporters, is a valid one. Whether the same applies to certain people sat at their computer screens with just their personal agendas for company, only they can truly answer.

All I did with my first sentence was answer the challenge. I just pointed out his name was in the filename with the second sentence. Seriously, its like an illiterate convention round here sometimes.

surrey1saint Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 I'll be in the back of the Chapel stand giving Nigel Adkins 100% of my support. I don't care if we finish this season in 17th on goal difference under Nigel. After eighteen months of, at times, sensational football, and the most inspiring period in my life as a fan of this club, Nigel Adkins deserves OUR support until such times as he or the Chairman decides the game is up. Life is not a one-way street in which you can take. There are time when you also have to give. As someone who has experienced failure and success in pretty much equal measure, I can imagine what Nigel is going through right now. He's questioning his own ability. He's wondering if all those qualities that guided our success are those that will work now. And the thing is they should. Because if there is any justice, a good, gracious man who delivers nothing but positivity should be rewarded. And just maybe what he needs right now is to look around a football stadium and see a recognition of his contribution to putting this football club back on the map, in the vocal support of 28,000 grateful friends. Come on Nigel - turn it around and prove the doubters wrong. And shove the speculation back down the throats of the hacks who circle like vultures while adding nothing of value to our club. Good luck mate. Fecking good luck! Hear hear......& those that boo Guly,or anyone else in a Saints shirt....feck off & support some other team!!

St Lej Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 LGTC reminds me of Peter Drury from ITV with his pompous inane ramblings designed solely to feed his own ego by being deliberately positive whether he believes his own words or not, in order to lap up the praise from the responses. Hes been doinf it for years on here, a very arrogant poster. In isolation there's nothing wrong with the post, it's just we've all heard it all before many times. In reality I expect he sits on his hands all game and barely mutters a word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St_Tel49 Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 Sounds like a lecture to me. It sounds like an opinion to me. Isn't he allowed to have one of those? And I really don't think that you should be lecturing anyone about lectures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambol2K9 Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 Nope. You are just on a wind-up. I object to the thread because its been done to death. I object to you because you've been done to death. The most tedious, arrogant troll on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
