Saints Stuff

Interesting to think, in 15 years time will we look back at 2016/17 games and view them in the same way, relative to the football of 2031/32 ?


(To put this into perspective, Josh Sims will be about to retire.....)

 

Yeah I think it will be interesting. Things like academy investment and major coaching changes have about a 10 year lag time and I think some of that will come through soon as those players reach their peak.

Personally I think the biggest change will be fitness. There was a change about 8 years ago where you couldn't be a professional footballer and be slow any more (sorry 2005 Saints defence). But IMO a lot of players are only at their "natural" levels of fitness. One of the best young players in England now is Dele Alli, and he is incredibly fit (I think I read an article saying he would win any Spurs squad race from 100m to 5km). So the next change might be that players who are not at elite physica standards can't make the top level.

 

Our friends at the Mirror slagging our club down again.

Well he's not biased is he? Very unprofessional article which proves that any uninformed idiot can write for the Mirror.

 

I wouldn't scrape off mud with that rag, it would leave a bigger mess.

 

Used to work for, and regularly goes to see that fishy lot down the road.

 

Hopefully a printed copy will be placed on every seat in the home dressing room, with the hope that it will be motivational enough to get a very positive response from the players.

 

And uses apostrophes incorrectly....how low can you sink.

 

Absolute cockwomble that Sam.
Koeman is a winner? Who is out of both cups? And whose still in them?

 

The author covered himself there....we are obviously a failure for our performance this season, whereas he gave Koeman an out by saying he will do better in the longer term.....obviously he doesn't give Puel the same time scale.

 

I love the way he manages to hold the baby and balance the Xmas tree on his shoulder

 

Got as far as him saying how quiet Inter at home was before giving up.

Tosser.

 

Oh that's an absolute "mothering". Managed to insult everyone including you and me....trumped up little t**t!

 

If I had a time machine that is an away game I would love to go back and attend. 7 years before I was born.

 

Pleased to say I was there,

 

My favourite Saints goal.

Oh and to The Liebherr "7 years before I was born" Legacy.....

 

Brilliant.

Bet there's some mental stories from that day

 

I loved the two Steves - Moran and Williams

 

What a team that was?
