shurlock Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 Yeah with the rest of the team and his kids with him - yeah really! Who knows - not claiming to be king detective mong - just throwing it out there. On Matchday uncovered, not uncommon for away players to come through at different times.

shurlock Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 (edited) That makes no sense. The suggestion is that its Spurs training ground, why would he goto their training ground for a first team game at White Hart Lane? Throwing it out there - it's a bit of mongboard conjecture ffs. Even the Spurs fans can't agree that it's definitively the training ground. Edited 24 May, 2014 by skintsaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 Give it a rest mate. Disappointed if he does go as I think the club has been as good for him as he has been for us, but not sure how that makes me spoilt? Bit of a pathetic comment. Go and put your feet up and stop wumming on here if you are quite so content. Take your head for a sh*t mush. Far too many precious Saints fans are living in some bizarre FM14 wonderland and haven't got a grip on where we are in the pecking order and actually, really, believe that we can compete with the draw of the big clubs. Most likely the same fans who went missing in L1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPL or bottom of L2, I really don't care. So your opinion is meaningless than if you are happy with whatever.

On our rise from L1 we used our draw and financial muscle to get the players we wanted. Now we are on the end of it.

Block34 Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 did the get bored when cropping wherever the original picture of Pochettino was from. Could they not manage to fill this bit in with anything? Tend to agree with you Nolan. Poch also seems to have that inner glow too, especially down the inside of his leg. And also the white thing to the right cannot the foot of the person following unless he's got an exceptionally strange, unnatural gait. Looks like Poch has got an issue with his right arm too. The other thing the 'artist' missed was putting a fake date stamp to 'confirm' it's recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 24 May, 2014 Author Share Posted 24 May, 2014 The other day? Last game of the season you mean. So he hadnt been offered a contract -pretty poor for an influential player who would attract interest yet said he would happily stay and loves it here. May have been offered one now but nothing formally announced. Judging by the Fonte rumour the other day he hasnt yet either. So, not just the natural order, we can't even sort out futures of lesser stars who actually want to stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually not sure why I posted that, as yes, you are 100% correct about the money. As I have said here many a time, I love Saints but I don't actually love football any more. Can't see the point in joining a competition that you have no chance of winning. I guess that there are lots of people who either support a team hundreds (or thousands) of miles from them and who they have no connection with as well as many people who never knew pre-Sky/PL footie and are happy with the situation that we currently have. As Tennyson wrote, "men may come and men may go, but I go on for ever" which sums up Saints for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 On one hand I want poch to stay but on the other hand I am not comfortable with the games being played. I just think we will have the same speculation every year with him. Sent from my HTC One SV using Tapatalk Depends he and all the players might stay but we might have a shocking season finish just above the relegation zone and 50% of those desperate for him at to stay , at the moment, will want him sacked.

View From The Top Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 Many fans seem to think this 'bigger' thing can't change. It's odd really, the criteria keep shifting. Saints haven't the fan base or reputation yet but who knows what a decade of top flight football and academy success might do. We'd definitely get bigger. The biggest frustration I find isn't so much the money of the top 4 or 5, it's the fact that 'big club' is largely set in stone by teams that happened to be successful in the first 100 years of football. So we can perform better than Leeds or Forest for ages and still be 'smaller'. I've said how unlikely I think it is, but a tiny chance is enough IMO to remain very ambitious. A smaller club will get up there and challenge at some point, I have no doubt. Academy plus decent investment is the only way. Probably won't be us, but why not. I just find it strange that people start to talk about forever in sport when things change so quickly. I don't personally want to accept the top 4 or 5 clubs will remain the same for the next 50 years or so and I'll never see anything different. I quite agree but the days where the likes of Derby & Forest can win the BPL and QPR & Saints take giants like Liverpool to the wire, are long gone. I wish it wasn't so.
