GarrettIvo Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Apologies if posted already. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid2522850455001?bckey=AQ~~,AAACSBmEp-k~,k6M0BLQIXJ_fOxXUjJd4CUhd7yHzmz9-&bctid=3969662239001 According to the former Palace front man we're the surprise package of the season. But not good enough for an A-grade apparently.
SaintTex Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Look, we played every team in the league (like everyone else) and we are 4th. I don't understand the slagging us for our 4 straight losses in late Nov/early Dec (or maybe I do, it's just being lazy). If our 6 losses had been spread out, I don't think there would be the criticism.
BlakeySFC Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Sounds bitter to me, don't we have the best defensive record still as well?
Saint Paul C Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 IMHO our only bad results this season are the loss to Burnley and not beating Villa. Add in 5 points we missed from those games and 3rd place is easily ours.
CB Saint Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 How does a C- player know what a B+ player looks like?
CB Fry Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 No team can ever do any better than fourth place, so obviously we should be graded A+.
beatlesaint Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Worst TV pundit ever, nobody or nothing is ever good enough, he always knows how it should have been done better......pity he didnt apply it to his marriage but never mind !! He never really praises anyone so I would almost take it as a compliment.
brmbrm Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Please stop mocking him: he clearly has some speaking impediments and probably brain-related ones as well. String together ...blub blub blub .... sentence...errr.. ahhh cant do not... pause blub blub. Antieloquence, but he must get a fair bung from the media i guess so good o him
Dan Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 This forum cracks me up. Anything good written in the media and you lot hang off every word, anything not as positive as you would like and it's been written by a crackpot mong that's never watched a game of football.
angelman Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Really, who cares? The press are infatuated with Man Utd and Liverpool, and then Chelsea/Arsenal/Man City and then to a lesser extent Spurs/Everton even West Ham. So what do people really expect? Either, when we do well, a patronising "they're punching above their weight" "it'l never last" etc or if we are mid-table we are in our natural position, or if we were threatening with relegation it would have been "told you so. you can't sell your players and expect to survive". The table at the end of the season is all that's important. Listening to talkSport just now, Alan Brazil is saying top 3 is set as it is now, and that 4th is between us, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool and that we aren't likely to be there. He may be right, he may be wrong, but let's just wait and see how the final positions are. I go to every home game and know more about Saints than most of these pundits who probably only see highlights if that. I don't care what they have to say, as all I am interested in is going to the games and watching the team. What they say has no bearing on how the side performs, and one word from Koeman is worth more than all these pundits put together. B+, A+, C-, D-. So ****ing what? Does this arbitrary marking of players have any relevance to my enjoyment (or not) of following the team, to the players future performances, to the table, to our finishing position? Of course not. I am not sure who he has done this for, as I really can't be bother to listen to someone else's opinion on this first half of the season when I am more than capable of making up my own mind (subjectively), but there are far too many websites that need to fill their pages so fill it with rubbish. It's like TV these days. There are hundreds of channels needing to fill the slots - so they have to resort to showing complete rubbish (or repeats). As I say, who cares?
Saint Without a Halo Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Errr we lost to all the teams above us he says! Surely we were 2nd before we played man c and so only Chelsea were above us and we have not lost to them yet this season as far as I am aware.
sadoldgit Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 As the other post, who cares? It is just an opinion and we all have one of those. We know we don't have the strong benches of the Citys and Chelseas and we are not a "big" club so why not just enjoy it while it last...and long may it last!
sussexsaint Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Errr we lost to all the teams above us he says! Surely we were 2nd before we played man c and so only Chelsea were above us and we have not lost to them yet this season as far as I am aware. There you go again with your facts! I couldn't listen to more than a few seconds of him, drivelling idiot
Wes Tender Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Let's judge it only on who the so-called pundit is as to whether it is given much credence. It is only Mark not very Bright. He fudges around believing that we had the best defence earlier in the season and doesn't realise that we currently have the best defence in the PL. So he goes on to list the key defensive players and omits Alderweireld, who is miles better than Lovren who he mentions as one of the key players we lost in the Summer. He obviously based his assessment factoring in the dip in form that produced the five losses, mentions that we have lost when we have played the top teams and largely ignores the recent upturn when we drew with the league leaders and beat Arsenal. I don't know what his assessment is of the other teams, but logically any team below us currently must be marked B+ or lower. He says that if his old team Crystal Palace were in our position, he would give them A+, thereby ruining any notion of impartiality by admitting bias.
sadoldgit Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 I would rather have B+ players and be 4th than A+ players and be 7th. The only teams better than us in my book are Chelsea and Manchester City so what is his point?
Whitey Grandad Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 A team full of internationals, B+ or not. The table never lies.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 hang on manure have Rooney (I suppose he's class hims a a+) Demaria again a+ etc etc And the are only 1 point ahead of us Does this show a group of selected a+ players do not make an A+ team What aload of tosh
John B Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Of course they are B+ players we could never afford A+ ones We will probably finish in a B+ position better than last season
Wes Tender Posted 6 January, 2015 Posted 6 January, 2015 Of course they are B+ players we could never afford A+ ones We will probably finish in a B+ position better than last season Naturally they are not A+ players until they leave us to play for a glory team. Thus Schneiderlin, Clyne, Alderweireld, Wanyama, etc could become A+ players almost overnight by the simple expedient of a decent move elsewhere, to one of the three A+ teams above us. (Well three at the moment. When we replace Man Utd, they will become a B+ team and we will progress to A+ level).

Hamilton Saint Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Chelsea: 1-1 Arsenal: 2-0 for Saints Man U: 1-0 for Saints
John B Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Very True we obviously have some A players but on average I would have thought B+ Great result today but I am still not really confident we will be in the top 4 at the end of the season but time will tell I still think 5th or 6th
Leicestersaint Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Mark Bright is an A plus idiot with a very silly way of speaking.
