[SuperSAINT]

Yeah, made for a good read.

 

I'm still not sure how reporters can do research into our academy history and mention Huw Jennings & Malcolm Elias without mentioning Georges Prost.

Jesus, papers are just falling over themselves to write praising articles about us.

Jesus, papers are just falling over themselves to write praising articles about us.

 

and I'm finding it a bit uncomfortable - probably 'cos I'm not used to it.

 

Then people at work fawning over saints - it's getting surreal

[Delboy Dave]

Yeah I agree with delboy Pete! It's all slightly embarrassing don't you think?

 

Ps, Pete are you my brother from another mother?

They don't call us south coast club anymore then

"Something special is blossoming at Southampton...."

 

There really is a sense of that.

 

It will certainly be special if we won the title this year - for a start I'd also trouser £25000!

Jesus, papers are just falling over themselves to write praising articles about us.

 

They build you up, only to knock you down!!!

[Solid Saint]

Jesus, papers are just falling over themselves to write praising articles about us.

 

They will also delight in watching us fall at the last hurdle should that end up being the case.

 

Pinch of salt for the vast majority of these regurgitating wordsmiths.
