Sour Mash Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 (edited) Clearly I am in a minority in my opinion, I'll leave it on this note; be careful what you wish for. Maybe in the summer we can sell, Lallana, Shaw, Morgan and JRod and go back to fighting relegation. We will have to go back to the 6-1 spankings and losing at home to Sunderland, QPR, Wigan and West Brom like we did last season but maybe the excitement of the League table will keep a few more people happy. F**ks sake, who has wished for that? This forum is top drawer today. Edited 17 February, 2014 by Sour Mash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintSteve Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 I went paintballing yesterday. I wont be telling my grand children about that either but I found it quite exciting. It's really quite saddening seeing some of them comments on here recently. I remember being on the pitch after we beat Walsall on the last day of League 1 and the delight shared by the whole stadium at being back in the Championship, so we would have a shot at getting back into the big time. Now we're here and suddenly the place is full of brats saying the last 12 games of the season are pointless because we don't have a cup final to tell our grandkids about. I fully understand the frustration, if I went to Sunderland on Saturday I would be livid and demanding my money back. However there are still 12 games left to play in the best League in the world, playing excellent football with no pressure or threat of relegation. Last year we would have killed to be in this position. Clearly I am in a minority in my opinion, I'll leave it on this note; be careful what you wish for.

No.. I think you are in the majority of the balanced fanbase.. I've never witnessed such an outburst of emotion over any game I can remember; and some posters on here think they should be picking the team every week.. its a joke. We have not witnessed such a great way of playing football ever before and we have one bad performance and all hell lets loose. We need to wake up and realise how lucky we are compared to three/four years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 F**ks sake, who has wished for that? This forum is top draw today. I know, I'm being facetious but I can't help but wonder what people are expecting from the future. Next season will either be a) Battling out for the league title and the Champions League b) Like this. Upper mid-table. c) Bottom half, flirting with relegation d) Hopeless and relegated. So what are people hoping for. How about you Mash? I'm not being rude here I am genuinely curious what people expect and hope for. a) Wont be happening, sorry folks. b) Is apparently boring and pointless c) is the same but with worse football d) means watching another dire season like 04/05 Is it literally all about the cups? If so, save yourselves £600 on a season ticket, enjoy the games at Bristol City and Northampton and pray that we don't draw a trip to the Etihad next January.

Dalek2003 Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 We could lose every game 8-0 and not go down. The only thing lingering around here is the faint stench of the guff you fart out from your keyboard. Personal insults, why ? I will be charitable on this occasion and suggest that you read the post again. Now, the key word are 'lingering doubts'. In other words not strong, but just the remnants. so however, small the doubts, maybe there are just a few until the magic 40 points are achieved. I know I am being overly cautious, but not unreasonable and I have expressed my opinion thus. Quite frankly, your hostile and aggressive manner to my post is hard to fathom out.

Totally agree. The negativity about the 'season being over' is ridiculous. There are 12 games left to play in the premier league, a league we fought so hard get to get back to. I get that buzz of excitement, anticipation and fear of disappointment before every game saints play and it'll be like that at 3pm on Saturday. Rather than being sarcastically fixated on whether we'll finish '8th or 9th', I'll be looking forward to more goals from Rickie, J-Rod and Adam, quality passing football and that feeling any victory brings.

What have I made up? If we had beaten Sunderland would people care about this game? It has no bearing on the FA Cup afterall, we could lose 50-0 and still beat Brighton in the QF, so surely it would still be a pointless game in the eyes of many? Putting aside the FA Cup for a minute, nobody is disputing all the fans want to win that: Is this the future of Southampton in the Premier League? We get to 40 points in February, then play the last 10-15 games of the season behind closed doors at SMS (but for maybe 1000 away fans) because our season is over and nobody cares about 9th or 7th?

shurlock Posted 17 February, 2014 Author Share Posted 17 February, 2014 By all accounts, they were pretty poor against Cardiff and Norwich and if it weren't for better finishing, they could have quite easily lost both games. Winston Reid's return is a big factor in their defensive revival but still fancy we'll get a goal, esp with Jrod's pace in what looks to be a classic under 2.5 game.

Prefer that combo - as long as we don't overuse the direct ball to Lambert, perhaps let him drop deeper as he did in the 2nd half against Fulham, I fancy giving some problems. Jrod was excellent up there last season against those two (Reid was FB that day) - Lambert was actually dropped. Shame Gallagher is still a bit raw as he could stretch them.

If that's what you want, fair enough but I disagree entirely. Finishing 17th would mean going through the whole 2004/05 season again. Wigley, Redknapp, Davenport, Bernard, Jackobsson, Folly, Van Damme, Delap, the last minute goals against Everton, Arsenal and Boro. That 3-2 against Villa, 1 away win all season, that 4-1 at Fratton Park. The only difference would be it's Kevin Phillips scoring on the last day instead of Ruud Van Nistelrooy. You would happily sit through ALL of that sh*te again for a cup win? If you are enjoying the games, they aren't pointless. That's the ENTIRE point of watching any sports. You don't get paid a £50k bonus if Saints win the Cup, You're not going to put it on your CV. If you are enjoying the games, that is the point.

Dark Munster Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 I'm one of these weirdos who watches football because they like watching football. I get a lot of funny looks when I tell people this at St Mary's. The up side though is that I am looking forward to this games as much as any other this season. Getting one over on West Ham after our dreadful performance at UP last year will do me quite nicely. As far as the League goes, a win puts us 3 points behind Everton and Utd (assuming they lose at Chelsea and beat Palace respectively). Both have to come and play at St Mary's too. Having our best ever Premier League season and finishing 6th above Man Utd is pretty exciting for me, even if there are no trophies on offer.

Ex Lion Tamer Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 I can easily see us losing this one - West Ham will be up for it, the Cup game will surely have damaged team moral, and lets face it even our manager's commitment to the cause seems debatable at this time. When Cortese quit, everyone was expecting our season to nosedive and we ended up playing great. I reckon this will be 0-0 though, WHAM have really tightened up at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
