SaintSteve Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 We now have 10 pages of 'still being angry', followed by this nonsense..can we not discuss real topics which are still in existence.
The Kraken Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 We now have 10 pages of 'still being angry', followed by this nonsense..can we not discuss real topics which are still in existence. I dunno pal; is somebody stopping you from discussing all these other "real" topics?
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 I think the ones that aren't bothered that we're out of the competition are likely to be people that don't watch us much or at all in person. Exactly what I was thinking. Armchair fans tend to move on quickly.

Exactly what I was thinking. Armchair fans tend to move on quickly. So is anyone who isn't furious that we didn't win the FA Cup this season an armchair fan then? Don't understand your rationale there at all...
Dig Dig Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 Exactly what I was thinking. Armchair fans tend to move on quickly. What a load of old waffle.
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 I think the ones that aren't bothered that we're out of the competition are likely to be people that don't watch us much or at all in person. Well done son, you get the stupidest post of the weekend award
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 Exactly what I was thinking. Armchair fans tend to move on quickly. Are you seriously still bothered about a match that happened a month ago ? Jesus there is some tedious fools on here
Dark Munster Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 Not so sure myself, I think we should sit and discuss it a while.... Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk
Badger Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 I still get a buzz thinking about 1976, and am not ashamed or embarrassed to admit, I'd like a repeat of that, as an adult with my sons, before I'm boxed up and buried. Shame if some of you Sky generation, FIFA manager internet types find that f^cking boring or tedious. But of course in the event of Saints reaching a semi-final or the final itself I suspect the clamour for tickets will be overwhelming, swamped by the same 'sky generation/internet types' referred to above coming out of the woodwork.
Dark Munster Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 Arsenal, Wigan, Sheff Utd and Hull. Glad we gave up when we did. We wouldn't have stood a chance against those power houses.

It's a terrible shame that we went out of the last ever FA Cup that will ever be played, ever. It's an utter disgrace.

Olallana Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 But wouldn´t we´ve got Arsenal in the draw if we were through? Chaos-theory or something like that..
The Kraken Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 It's a terrible shame that we went out of the last ever FA Cup that will ever be played, ever. It's an utter disgrace. Straw man me up.
trousers Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 Nah. Still no one. How about "Mildly disgruntled"?
Badger Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 It's a terrible shame that we went out of the last ever FA Cup that will ever be played, ever. It's an utter disgrace. So you would not have been bothered about going to the semi or final this year had it happened ? Not the last Cup at all. But to seemingly fritter away an opportunity as we did and go out in a whimper is bloody disappointing. You're also assuming we might take it a little more seriously in future. Remains to be seen.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 (edited) Are you seriously still bothered about a match that happened a month ago ? Jesus there is some tedious fools on here I guess if you compared the bloke who had driven through the night to make the lunch time ko, spent 100 quid on petrol and a ticket and then had to flog his way home again might, just might have been a teeny bit more peeved than the armchair fan whose only exercise and expense while he watched the game on the box was to open his fridge? I stand by the liklihood that those who couldn't really be "arsed" about the result are the ones that don't bother much going to games. One of the first match day threads I check out is "just back from the game" because generally speaking by the fact these fans have actually made a big effort to actually go then their views are more valid. And if you find the whole thing tedious why do you bother adding to the tedium? Edited 9 March, 2014 by Fitzhugh Fella
CB Fry Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 How about "Mildly disgruntled"? I'm not accepting anything more than "perturbed".

But to seemingly fritter away an opportunity as we did and go out in a whimper is bloody disappointing. You're also assuming we might take it a little more seriously in future. Remains to be seen. Of course I want to see us win stuff, but it's not the be all and end all of supporting Saints. We had a decent run and could've gone further, but going out is not this big thing that people are making it out to be. Arsenal haven't won anything in nearly a decade, d'you think they might have a little bit more cause to be annoyed than us? Also one thing that really seems to be annoying people is that Sunderland and Hull have had pretty easy draws since we got knocked out, even though if we had gone through it would have been a completely different draw in a different version of reality, and chances are we would've drawn different teams than them. Proper physics and sh!t yo.

I stand by the fact those who couldn't really be arsed about the result are the ones that don't bother going to games and frankly their opinion is "tedious" to me. I'm sure there are plenty on here who have travelled big distances and incurred big expenses to watch saints and get a disappointing result/performance at the end. That's the nature of football. Added to the fact that many of those showing rage over the Sunderland result were not there, it makes your point even more stupid.

Have you never put a lot of effort/time/money into something before and gotten f**k all in return? Jeez. As a long standing Saints fan, surely you are used to it? You don't have to like it but please. Move on. Enjoy the rest of the season and look forward to a better one.

I stand by the fact those who couldn't really be arsed about the result are the ones that don't bother going to games and frankly their opinion is "tedious" to me. I've done all of the above plus some in my time supporting Saints so your argument is rubbish - and somewhat embarrasses you. I didn't go to Sunderland as a) it was on TV, and b) any cretin could've predicted he was going to put out a 'weakened' side. But, and I mean this genuinely, kudos to anybody who did make it given kick off time etc..
positivepete Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 Congratulations to Wigan and Sheffield United. A great effort by both clubs. That is what the cup is all about, unpredictable results.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 Im just worried that this was our best chance for a while. * no guarantees mopo will stay * no guarantees that KL will stay * will we hold onto our best players?
TheCholulaKid Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 One of the first match day threads I check out is "just back from the game" because generally speaking by the fact these fans have actually made a big effort to actually go then their views are more valid. More valid because they've been to the game? That is, quite frankly, a ridiculous argument. Most football fans know sweet FA about football including those who go to games.

Dig Dig Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 We had no chance with MP here. I like him, but if he stays and keeps this attitude, the cups are out. We scraped by Burnley and Yeovil with weakened teams. It was our best chance in many years, but if MP leaves we might have a better go at it. Smaller clubs are showing what can be done. Why do you think league league prioritisation is a 100% MP decision? If we can work with a more substantial squad and not be goaled solely on the league, I'm sure he'd like to do well in a cup. Why wouldn't he?
Shroppie Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 Perturbed works for me. I'm not gong beyond mildly disappointed. And I travel round about 10000 miles a year to watch Saints. Not bragging, just asserting that I could be a real fan but not in meltdown. (Ok Phil, I know you do that for a single game)

If we can work with a more substantial squad and not be goaled solely on the league, I'm sure he'd like to do well in a cup. Why wouldn't he? Good post. The manager is an employee. If his employer is not happy with his performance, he must improve or be replaced. If he feels he does not have the support of his employer he may resign.

Haha this Dont see why we are now getting labelled as fans that dont wanna see us in an FA cup final, what a complete load of carp. Id love to be in amoungst the running, we are not, its a shame but its done, GTFOI

And if you find the whole thing tedious why do you bother adding to the tedium? Fair play to you for making the effort, I mean that genuinely. I get up there when I can, but after coming back from a couple of nasty injuries Im back playing a decent Saturday standard again so unfortunately cant see my beloved saints as much as Id like and meant I had to cancel my ST. Does that make me less of a fan ?! Doubtful On the day I was gutted, the team wasnt the strongest, but surely strong enough, the performance was woeful. But you know what ? Thats football. Its gone, we move on. How many times have we been in this position ? Im afraid tedium is banging the same old drum to the same tune ad infinitum and unfortunately your tune is one of a depressive monotony. So if constantly drawing the negative of what is right now a great time to be a Saint then I think Ill stick to being the fan I am you pretentious idiot.
tedmaul Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 Im just worried that this was our best chance for a while. * no guarantees mopo will stay * no guarantees that KL will stay * will we hold onto our best players? Holy heck why are people still replying or reacting ... Mod's he's laughing at you, really. Can you not see it?
Ludwig Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 I thought this was an apt quote from the quote store cupboard of the internet:“There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.” — Logan Pearsall SmithLogan Smith? Who the f*ck is he? Dunno. Some bloke who said something that seems to fit with Saints.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Pearsall_Smith
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 The club in my opinion have made a great decision, as opposed to trying to win something like a Cup I want an assured wholehearted attempt at gaining 9th place for we shall sing for a whole week through the bargate on this most amazing achievement..............................................
Dan Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 I think the ones that aren't bothered that we're out of the competition are likely to be people that don't watch us much or at all in person. I was discussing this with someone at Crystal Palace yesterday. A lot of these people love to support Saints online but when it comes to putting their hand in their pocket and travelling a few miles and actually attending they aren't interested. Out of the people who 'aren't fussed' it would be interesting to see how many of them actually went up to Sunderland.

At the closest away game discussing the 2nd furthest away being flippant, how typical of the modern fan.

Stepgar Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 FFS move on. We have the chance every year. How many times have thought it would be a stroll and come away with nothing. Tramere chesterfield come to kind straight away. We were 2-0 up against spurs and lost 6-2 (I think.) just ****ing move on.
Sour Mash Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 At the closest away game discussing the 2nd furthest away being flippant, how typical of the modern fan. How is that typical of the modern fan? Your comment doesn't make sense.
Sour Mash Posted 9 March, 2014 Posted 9 March, 2014 And for balance, how many of those that went to Sunderland were disappointed but have moved on? What does "moved on" mean? I don't think anyone is still hanging around outside the Stadium of Light.

How many other managers don't bother witha single bit of press/media work for cup games? I can't think of a single one, apart from MP.

If he was goaled on cups, i'm sure he wouldn't or at least wouldn't be aloud. Do you think the clubs cup ambitions are MP's and his alone?

I don't know what is goaled or agreed behind the scenes at the club. But it looks pretty weird that he never does a single minute of media work for cup games, it doesn't help with the impression that he's not too interested in them, regardless of what may or may not have been agreed behind the scenes.

Agree, but equally I'm sure he doesn't just rock up and tell his employer that he's not bothered and won't try in cups.
