Nadia Sllim Posted 11 November, 2013 Share Posted 11 November, 2013 FIVE things I got wrong whilst supporting Saints. 1. Speedie and Dixon would be good for us. 2. Keith Cassells looked a good acquisition . 3. Souness would take us to new levels. 4. That Morgan won't cut it in the Prem. 5. Cortese does not know what he is doing ...oops! What's your top five?

The other threads would have just ended up with posters sniping at each other, then defending themselves, and then bringing completely unrelated things into it like levels of optimism and pessimism. We've seen the exact same thread a thousand times before. This one, inviting people to own up to their own mistakes, is far more likely to be constructive. I like it! I remember confidently telling a mate that the Poortvliet/Wotte experiment, playing the kids, would see us playing the best football in the division and get us promoted… >_ Have to admit, I was one of the people convinced that Paul Allen was about to take over as well.

Hokie Posted 11 November, 2013 Share Posted 11 November, 2013 If I'm honest, I'd add to several of those above that I believed: 1. Lambert would not succeed in the premier league 2.

studentsaint Posted 11 November, 2013 Share Posted 11 November, 2013 Steve De ridder looks class Idiakez was a superb signing and best set piece specialist in the league Wilde spending was a good thing Birmingham would beat us 3-4 when they pulled us back to 3-2 Harry redknapp would keep us up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 11 November, 2013 Share Posted 11 November, 2013 Way more than five.... Burley was the ideal manager to get us promoted. Having just gone up from League One, we'd be lucky to finish in the top half of the Championship. NC was wrong to sack Pardew and wrong to sack Adkins Gaston Ramirez would turn into our best player ever Rudi Skacel would turn into one of our best ever players We'd walk the Championship in 2005/6 I'd probably never see Saints win at Wembley in my lifetime Moving to St Mary's was a mistake, because although the Dell was just a bit too small, we'd only ever attract crowds of 17,000-19,000 We'd almost certainly be relegated in our first season back in the top flight (only started to change my mind after we beat QPR away) Yoshida would replace Fonte as a first chocie centre back this season The list goes on and on...

The Cat Posted 11 November, 2013 Share Posted 11 November, 2013 Strachan. At the time I thought it was a horrible decision. Getting carried away by the football we played under Portvliet when we beat Norwich at home and predicting we'd finish top half. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFrost Posted 11 November, 2013 Share Posted 11 November, 2013 Mayuka was an absolutely superb signing Marek Saganowski would be a massive player for us when he signed permanently Paul Wotton was absolutely useless *****il I saw him play live, press the opposition and work his socks off for 90 mins in a game even with his limited ability) Dexter Blackstock would develop into a PL striker Kelvin Davis should be sold and Bart should be our number one (during KD's bad spell for us under Burley) and one from a friend of mine - Leon Best will be fine taking the first penalty against Derby in the play-off semi final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downthe36 Posted 12 November, 2013 Share Posted 12 November, 2013 Pardew/Adkins/Pochettino - threw my toys out of the pram at each step. Thought Lovren was going to be poor.

Jimmy_D Posted 12 November, 2013 Share Posted 12 November, 2013 Another one that probably applies to most fans in the county... the number of times I've gone nuts celebrating a goal... only to find out it was offside/in the side netting/saved on the line/actually went in and bounced off the advert boards... and not given. The worst one for me being when I was still celebrating as they went up the other end and scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 12 November, 2013 Share Posted 12 November, 2013 Carlton Bloody Palmer would be crap. Adkins sacking was a bad decision. Redknapp would save us.

alpine_saint Posted 12 November, 2013 Share Posted 12 November, 2013 Didnt rate Lallana and Morgan enough over the previous 3 seasons.

The9 Posted 12 November, 2013 Share Posted 12 November, 2013 Having Greenwich Saint convince me that Leandre Griffit would set the Premiership alight I can still hear the drum beating now. I said JWP "hadn't shown signs of improvement" in early August, described Matt Oakley as "the best CM in the Premier League" circa 1998 and there was that Billy Sharp thing from thinking Lambert would be increasingly injury prone from 2010 onwards.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 12 November, 2013 Share Posted 12 November, 2013 A few years ago now, being particularly impressed at seeing a fine example of the defenders art, I did shout out at the very top of my voice "well played Mills" only to then realize that actually it was Dan Harding I was directing my praise at.
