Saint Charlie Posted 16 April, 2013 Author Posted 16 April, 2013 The white away shirt was a good idea. We would have beaten Man Utd if Adkins had left a shattered Lambert and Lallana on the pitch. We would have beaten United if Richardson had come on to man mark Scholes. Long ball beats pressing every time.
September Saint Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 anyone who wants a ticket for St Marys will get one, even if it's sold out Surely this part is true. Haven't all home games gone on general sale, if only for a short time, thus giving anyone keen enough the opportunity to buy.

Haven't all home games gone on general sale, if only for a short time, thus giving anyone keen enough the opportunity to buy. If there are 5000 tickets on general sale and 6000 people want a ticket, how can everyone who wants a ticket, get a ticket?
SNSUN Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Luke Shaw will not be considered first choice left back this season ...and is not good enough yet for Premier League football. (based on one cup appearance)
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Adkins has a say in ALL transfers. Pochettino's teams play rubbish football. Sacking Adkins would be a disaster.
Saint Charlie Posted 16 April, 2013 Author Posted 16 April, 2013 I preferred it in League One. Lallana is a poor captain and doesn't inspire the players at all. Getting rid of the programme sellers is a disgrace.
Dig Dig Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 The Liebherrs aren't interested, have pulled the funding and are looking to sell (ongoing myth for 3 years)
Saint Charlie Posted 16 April, 2013 Author Posted 16 April, 2013 (edited) Cortese is a loner and the whole club hates him. Everyone in the offices are considering walking out due to poor working conditions and the club is a horrible place to be. Managers should not be allowed to be sacked after draws. MLT knows best. Alpine Saint's WIFI goes down every time we win but is at full strength after a defeat. Edited 16 April, 2013 by Saint Charlie

ericb Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 To be fair i tend to agree still on the fact the Premier League is too commercial, just look at the ridiculous jump in price of the Reading game from last season to this. Also - on the whole - the atmosphere in the prem is utterly terrible, and ours has suffered too due to a lot of JCLs turning up again. As a fans experience i'd much rather be in the championship as it's cheaper, better atmosphere and more fun. On a football experience i don't think anyone argued they'd rather be there, since the football in this league is streets ahead
SNSUN Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 I'd rather be in the Championship and wouldn't mind if we got relegated this season.
LostBoys Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Have these comments really appeared on the forum
tajjuk Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Boruc is a clown and we should drop him for Davis.
Saint Charlie Posted 16 April, 2013 Author Posted 16 April, 2013 Duncan does not have an agenda Who is Duncan?
alpine_saint Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 I still think a better summer of preparation and transfer activity could have prevented a couple of defeats, at least. And yes, I have less to say after a win than a defeat. Think about it, its not rocket science.
Joensuu Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 This forum will be a worse place without all the 'interesting' posters like Dune.
saintbob40 Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 (August 2012).....Jack Cork is overrated and is not a key member of the team and we can function more than adequately without him....
david in sweden Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Kelvin Davis - good enough for Premier League and an England prospect. (sorry Kev...no offence intended).
david in sweden Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Boruc is a clown and we should drop him for Davis. wrong preposition! ...we should drop him on Davis.

melmacian_saint Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Jos Hooiveld is going to be one of our best players in the Premier League (said in this forum post-promotion).

pingwing Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 The media hate us and its all because they love "Arry
Saint Charlie Posted 16 April, 2013 Author Posted 16 April, 2013 I hope we get relegated because Cortese had the front to sack Adkins.
September Saint Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 If there are 5000 tickets on general sale and 6000 people want a ticket, how can everyone who wants a ticket, get a ticket? But the first 5,000 get a ticket! The point I made was that there is normally a chance to get a home ticket if you are really interested. What is the shortest time between general release and sell-out?
Dalek2003 Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 > QPR will be humiliated when they play us at SMS. > 38 points will be enough to see us survive in the Premier league,.....no it won't !
Village Saint Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 If there are 5000 tickets on general sale and 6000 people want a ticket, how can everyone who wants a ticket, get a ticket? Whilst that is a fair point it is also true that it is ALWAYS possible to get into a game if you really want to. I have often got tickets for sold out games including FA Cup Semi-Finals; European Cup Finals; and Saints 'sold-out' games at Luton; Old Trafford; the Dell (I do though remember one very uncomfortable ride when in the front row of the part of the East Stand allocated to Chelsea supporters when we scored and I forgot where I was) and at St Marys this season. There are always people with unused season tickets; tickets their mates couldn't use at the last minute etc. As long as you turn up knowing you will get in; aren't afraid to ask around; are prepared in compromise over where you sit and never never buy a ticket from a tout until the last minute you should always be able to get a ticket at face value or better.

What is the shortest time between general release and sell-out? Of course there is a chance. However if the supply is 5000 from GS and total demand up to kick off is 6000 then not everyone is going to get a ticket who wanted one. Some will want tickets more than others or will make more effort and will be in the first 5000 but that's not exactly the same thing.

Appy Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 There has never been a game called off due to rain at St Marys. Said by Mr Wrong (MLG)
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Guly is Brazillian A Saints player would never leave in the middle of a game. To have a sh-it.
Window Cleaner Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 > > 38 points will be enough to see us survive in the Premier league,.....no it won't ! we shall see, not that I think we'll end on 38 points but I don't see both Wigan and Villa surpassing that total and they both have very bad GDs. Look at their fixtures, particularly Villa's they could end up on as little as 35.
Saint Charlie Posted 16 April, 2013 Author Posted 16 April, 2013 The players don't like Adkins because he speak to them like he speaks to the media.
studentsaint Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Jos hooiveld is not good enough for this level and is the reason for everything that has gone wrong this season.
Saint Charlie Posted 16 April, 2013 Author Posted 16 April, 2013 We miss Hammond's leadership and crab-like movement in midfield.
Avenue Saint Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Pinnochio is sheet and we were better off with Adkins...
The9 Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 1. Billy Sharp, loaning him out was ludicrous. 10. Richardson would be adequate Prem fullback. 11. Lambert will struggle against top defences because he has no pace. I'm sticking with the above as still open to question. Loaning Sharp without at least giving him a chance was at least questionable, it's obvious how he's regressed at Forest without Adkins' regime. Clyne's been great but Richardson also never had the chance to prove he definitely wasn't up to it. Like Sharp, he may not have been, but we don't actually know. I'm just kidding about number 11, though I did genuinely believe it at the start of the season for about a month.
The9 Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 You need Prem Experience. You do. We now have a team full of players who've played 20-30 matches who are loads better than the ones who hadn't played any at the start of the season.
SNSUN Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Clyne's been great but Richardson also never had the chance to prove he definitely wasn't up to it. Like Sharp, he may not have been, but we don't actually know.. The thing I'll say about this is, when Clyne went out for a couple of games this season, it was Cork that filled in at right back and not Richardson. That makes me wonder if they could see he's not up to it.
Toadhall Saint Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 Any of Daleks predictions - sorry couldn't help myself

That makes me wonder if they could see he's not up to it. Yoshida too. Richardson not athletic enough at this level.

norwaysaint Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 before you knock Richardson and Sharp, just remember the following team is still under contract to saints: Forecast Butterfield Martin Seaborne Dickson Forte Hammond Chaplow de Ridder Barnard Lee This goes to prove that Saints really are no longer a "selling club".
