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

Chamberlain is definitely better than Walcott

 

 

 

 

Which is obviously bollix

 

 

Has Ox improved at all since he's been at the Arse ?

Walcott is just a sprinter with no football brain FFS

[The Kraken]

No. He made a mistake joining them and should have stayed with Saints; everyone knows this. Playing in the Champions League and for the English national side has done his development no good whatsoever.

[St_Tel49]

Yep. So what's your problem with it ?

What if everyone did it ?

[Hamilton Saint]

Some posters never know when to shut up; they seem to think that dominating the conversation is equivalent to "winning" the argument.

Will Fox is the best golfer who never was; the mlt of the golfing world.

 

If someone mentions golf.................

[dubai_phil]

Oh and Coutinho was never worth the money - we had JP instead

[shurlock]

Posters write players off or proclaim them footballing gods after just a few matches (^^^)

Things you learn from SaintsWeb eh....?

 

 

#1 - HOW TO REACT TO A LOSS

 

 

 

[Johnny Shearer]

You don't need to quote anyone when you can just use the line, “I've been told" or “people on here have said.... " to back up your point of view.

[CB Saint]

The longer the gap between games, the greater the quantity of guff posted on here

The further afield somebody is the more he/she wants to be at the next game.

There's very little chance of any of the most prolific posters answering your comments, unless you've been highly abusive. Also, that there is absolutely no middle ground - every subject is either good/bad, black/white, right/wrong, agree/you're a mong...etc.

[pap]

That threads like these invariably lead to an outpouring of vague ill-sentiment from a lot of people who'd never go toe to toe in a full on forum scrap.

Before I have a scrap will have normally called the opposition an F-ing C-unt which on here gets you banned quicker than a falling thermometer on a witches tit so pretty pointless

The 1980s Flower Roads standard for getting into a scrap were the magic three words "come on then".

 

Up in the 'Pool, they go for the abbreviated "come 'ead".

[Golden Balls]

I have learned:

 

-if one person has an odd opinion (we need a 50k stadium, Kelvin is good enough for England etc) then this will later become a "brigade" who were calling for it and shouting the sensible few down.

 

-if you're embarrassed about being wrong, you should try to cover your shame by later saying you were just making it up to get a bite

 

 

The points I was going to make, but worded in a better way.

[Jez]

Only read the first two pages but I have learned that....

1) we always lose when our game is televised

2) all ex players always score against us.

[The9]

What if everyone did it ?

 

Then they'd all be right too.

remember it well. Daisy Dip was somewhere on a scale between "Boxing Ring" and "Battle of the Somme" most summer holiday afternoons.

Something else I've learned. Putting people on block because you're fed up of their trolling, negativity or deliberately antagonistic tone is fairly pointless, because either someone else quotes them or they comment on threads you're posting on and you wonder if they're replying to you.

 

Also, I have learned that being a "try hard" is apparently some kind of insult.

Even funnier than putting someone on ignore then talking about it every time they post are the people who put someone on ignore, then when they have been quoted by someone else join in the conversation by replying to both posts usually started with the sentance "you can see why i've got him on ignore cant you, but to answer the troll......"

:lol:People who use the ignore list, especially those who announce it or ask for others not to be quoted because they have put them on ignore, are a bunch of bigger attention-seekers than the "trolls" they are claiming to try to ignore

I readily accept I have done this. In fact the reason I flagged it up was because I'd just done it. I am aware you are not big on the use of Ignore as you think it's indicative of an inability to cope with that person's opinions, but I just get bored with having to read the same stuff from the same people. Shockingly, given the stadium capacity arguments, you're not on that list. .

 

FWIW I have 7 people on ignore at the moment. 4 of them are single-joke trollers, one is endlessly confrontational and negative beyond all reason, and two just talk complete garbage all of the time and can't even put together coherent arguments to defend themselves. 6 of them I will never bother checking comments, one I will.

[The9]

Pleased I just clicked on "View Post" for that one, anyway. The usual illogic.

[Dig Dig]

Saints fans in Austria, despite hardly ever seeing the team play, know for certain what any failings at the club are and have a remarkable ability to actually foresee negative outcomes in the future before anyone else

I would think of a better 1, but I don't want to waste an infraction on you.

But somehow always get it wrong when we're flying up the leagues and winning the vast majority of matches.

They also know the exact outcome of Ashes series half way through day 1.

[saintbob40]

Alpha males do not generally frequent message boards and the more you post, the more nerdy you are likely to be in the real world (which is not neccessarily a bad thing provided you realise that). There also appears to be a correlation between the number of posts per day and aggresiveness (possibly linked to impotence, lack of romantic activity generally, henpecked husband syndrome and/or downtrodden employee syndrome, living in a **** boring country (e.g...Austria...)....?)-cue aggresive responses.

If you reply to this I will know that you are NOT ignoring me.

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Super useful insights that I for one would never have managed to figure out, for example:

 

If we replace our players with better players, we will be a better team.

 

:eek:

[Window Cleaner]

Get out of here, that can't be right. We need players that run about more to get better.

[KelvinsRightGlove]

That's what I thought too.

 

But that's what one of resident oracles told us.

[Saint Pete]

We should never sign anyone who is not rated highly by 100% of fans on his current club's message boards.

So we are only allowed to sign Messi then

Fancy dress amongst adults is hilarious and anyone not wearing a full replica kit is a violent thug.

Alcohol at football is a thing of the devil and we should all be tea total and clap the oppositions jolly good play.

That's an odd one. I reckon for every post you can find praising fancy dress, I could find two sneering at it. I've never seen anyone praising the wearing of full kit to a game. Are you viewing a different version of the forum to me?

[Saint Fan CaM]

remember it well. Daisy Dip was somewhere on a scale between "Bang Ring" and "Battle of the Somme" most summer holiday afternoons.

 

Alpine - I am shocked...never would have you down for a Daisy dip kid! I grew up in the 70's in the flower roads and spent many hours playing footie or scrapping in and around Daisy dip. Can't say it was the happiest of times though - thankfully my parents managed to move to a nicer place.

[Turkish]

Every player needs to have an attempt made at a witty/funny/original song for them. Despite usually 100 minimum attempts, most of them truely terrible, none of them will ever be sung, fans will stick 'only one *insert players name*' clap clap clap clap clap clap clap.

November 2012 Nigel Adkins is the best manager we'd ever had and potentially the new Alex Ferguson. We should stick with him even if we go down.

 

Feb 2013 We are so much better with the new manager, Adkins was a grinning clueless bumpkin who made numerous baffling team selections and substitutions and MP is the man to take us onto the fabled next level.

6. Saints Web is often referred to as a mong board by some

 

And those that refer to it as a Mong board have high number of posts, and keep coming back again......and again........and again

[Thedelldays]

the word 'mong' is somehow offensive...
