Dark Munster Posted 9 March, 2014 Share Posted 9 March, 2014 In the Would you swap with Sunderland thread I leaned no, too much risk of relegation. Definitely wouldn't swap with them now. But how about Hull? Would you swap our 9th and 99.999999% safe, with their semi-final against a third tier side, but not safe from relegation (5 points clear with 10 games left)? Note, swap positions/cup only. Same manager, squad, academy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Wolf Posted 10 March, 2014 Share Posted 10 March, 2014 No. We've had a great season, we're going in the right direction. Sheffield United have beaten PL opposition in previous rounds so they're not nailed on to beat them and even if they get past them they'll still either have to play Arsenal or the reigning FA Cup holders. I'll keep things as they are cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't support Saints because they have a better percentage return on cups/titles per season - I support them because they're my team - in my blood, soul, heart or whatever - sure I love it when we play beautiful football (tick), get promoted (tick), win cups (tick) but I also supported them when they have been relegated (tick), knocked out of the cup (tick) and have played dire football (rarer tick)....the defining word is support! My timespan is much the same as the man from Ottery...I've experienced the ups and the downs Plenty of people local and less so are entitled to be critical...they're not Saints supporters - it beggars belief that on a Saints forum we should have to endure skate viewpoints - would they turn up at the Chapel Arms and spout what they do here?

berkshiresaint Posted 10 March, 2014 Share Posted 10 March, 2014 Let me think about this. Hull based oop north where the weather is always ****e. Only good thing about the place is a rather splendid example of bridge building. A football team who are & will be perennial strugglers whose realistic place is as a good Championship side, ala Reading. Where as THE MIGHTY SAINTS are the greatest exponents of the beautiful game, the team who brought football to Brasil ( who still wear a kit similar to our best away kit) and are able to boast some of the best players ever to play in England! (okay maybe not that last point). A team based in the beautiful south where as Hull had a band called the beautiful south. A team whose only FA cup win was so important that even the hot weather decided to stay around for a very long time to celebrate. so on the whole No I do not want to swap places with Hull!

krissyboy31 Posted 10 March, 2014 Share Posted 10 March, 2014 I am still angry we didn't go all out to try and win the competition but the view is slightly clouded (especially with foreign owners) by the vast amounts of money each position in the league generates. I wouldn't be surprised if MoPo's bonuses were solely dependent on league position. Until they start offering a Champions League place for winning the FA Cup, then I suspect that will not change. Always next year though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a provincial club, and most media pundits hold that view - a suitable peg on which to hang such tags as 'plucky', 'honest', and 'hard working', ( hopefully we've moved on from 'struggling' and 'relegation threatened' ). To my mind Saints are of similar 'size' to Stoke and Derby, so do you think Stoke haven't won as much as they should have ? Certainly Derby did well to win their 2 league titles in the 70's, but their recent history isn't much to write home about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 10 March, 2014 Share Posted 10 March, 2014 IMHO people claiming to be Saints fans should never want to swap with other teams just because they might then get to Wembley. What next for those that do then? They might as well openly admit to being skates as the skates obtained the FA Cup at Wembley a few years ago.
