Things you learn from interacting on the Saints Web forum.....


Recommended Posts

That saints will make the champions league and fill a 50,000 all seater mega stadium for the simple reason that they said man would never walk on the moon or climb Everest.

An English teacher is never far away to correct your grammar spelling and punctuation!

 

or... should you say ...." a teacher of English " ? ....as not everyone who teaches English is necessarily a native speaker (as my daughter at Uni. complains about continually - and she's fed-up correcting them).

That if you check forum login statistics , they show that Alpine Saint's most frequent logging in time is at approx 4:52pm on a Saturday following a Saints defeat, closely followed by a 30 second period on a matchday immediately after saints conceding a goal

Posted

That Matthew Le God posts less than he used to and, despite his slightly condescending tone, the forum is worse off without his words (IMHO).

 

Also that people often fail to notice when Turkish is posting his honest opinion. Or being a parody of himself. Or a parody of the parody. You get my drift.

 

In short, we all hate to love this place.

Walcott should have stayed at saints. And gone on a league 1 journey with us instead of the champions league

 

I don't think I've ever seen anyone suggest that. Also, if he HAD stayed we'd have probably gone up in the Play-offs season anyway.

Certain posters only speak to or reply to their 'friends' comments or threads, unless someone is being completely out of order.

 

You post a reasonable well calculated post and it can get completely ignored.

 

The special one will be Saints manager in the near future... For example.

Rickie Lambert has a lover called Roger and has ****ed off someone called The9.

 

He's done nothing to me. To clarify, I think we'd be a better team with someone better playing there, and think us building our entire gameplan around him in order to get the best out of him is short-sighted and risky if he is unavailable.

 

Ooh, here's something I learned from SaintsWeb : Being top scoring English player in the Premier League is apparently a big deal, even though numerous other non-English players (including a welshman who was born nearer to Southampton) have scored more goals, and there are no tangible point or prize money benefits to the club to having an Englishman scoring the team's goals.

You have found out that there are a lot of very slutty nuns about.More than you'd think.

 

Not if you go to matches, you haven't.

that the number of posts inversely correlates to IQ levels

By judging the success of 'lets get a song going for .................... that this forum does not represent anyone who actually attends St Mary's

 

New keyboard required. LOL

Stunning wisdom there. A new SaintsWeb classic; we'd be better off with players who are better than we already have. Hallelujah.

If you can disprove it I'd be interested to see the argument.

Of course it can't be disproved. We'd be a better team if we replaced all 11 of our team with better players. Flawless logic.

Yep. So what's your problem with it ?

I was just amazed you felt you needed to point it out in the first place; that we'd be better off with better players. Maybe its a difficult concept to understand for some, I don't know.

I reckon if we score more goals than Newcastle next week we'll win the match.

I was specifically pointing out that was my rationale for not being as impressed as everyone else with Lambert, though it does come with the rider that EVERYONE was saying we needed to improve the GK and defence, and our midfield is pretty decent, whilst that particular person has some obvious flaws.

If you sit with MLT, drink with him, record the entire conversation when he explains Pinnacle, Match Fixing and NC, post it on Audioboo, put it on twitter and on here, the same people will still argue 1) you made it up 2) he has never explained himself in public 3) will ignore it the next time the issue is raised

Good for you. Though I don't recall ANYONE saying that Lambert was the be all and end all, and that there weren't any better players out there than what we had. Simply that, quite rightly, at that time and with a limited budget it wasn't a main priority to replace him (and especially with someone who cost £7M and is actually not as good as Lambert at this point in time).

 

Then again, I only played Wessex League football so I know very little in the general scheme of things.

We once had a manager called Atkins. Despite two promotions and guiding the team away from the bottom three after a wretched start to the season, we have learnt two weeks after he left that he was not as good as we thought, training was stale and players were no longer motivted ( despite coming back from 2-0 down at Chelsea).

 

Then a previously unknown bloke from Argentina is rebranded Mo Po , or something silly, and he's a world beater who can take us to the next level (whatever that is).

 

And we can live happily ever after.

On paper and in general terms you would be right. But it isn't flawless logic, as it isn't necessarily the case that they would play better together than the players they replaced. Anyway, define better. A player might be technically better but have an attitude problem or some other reason why he might be inferior to a less gifted player.

re Slutty Nuns .... or now that we are Prem League and get on TV in Dubai every week!

 

Really miss the p!ssed up postings whilst listenening to Merry Davington, but being with fellow Dubai Saints watching the game live in a pub is far better.

Posted

.... and .... this board has been a fantastic conduit for meeting fellow Saints both out here and in UK.

 

I have learnt that being a Saints Fan is Special.

 

We are not just another replica shirt .... we are Saints Fans and proud of it.

Ha you're such a try hard.

F*cking hell Wes. Are you that desperate for a row that you're going to put up a case that we wouldn't be a better team if we had better players in every position?!
