Don't agree with that. What came first, supporting your local team, or corporate domination, branding and all the **** that goes with it. For me, no longer living there, Saints is an emotional attachment of sorts that I'm not willing to give up. Plus, I like supporting the underdog, not that I have a choice! Totally agree with your second paragraph though. Lovely analogy. And the third I think.
Maybe it was, but that doesn't lend itself so much to my quip. And I got sacked this week so have clearly too much time on me hand![/QUOTE] Oh ****, sorry to hear that. What's your line of work?
Much appreciated, although it was more of a compromise out rather than a sacking, but hope to be sorted in the next 2-3 months! That said, I'm still pretty pissed at the bastards...
Oh ****, sorry to hear that. What's your line of work?[/QUOTE] Thanks! Bids and tenders, only issue is there are fewer positions at my level...
My arse, it has. Take Costa, Willian and Hazard out of that team and it'd be like watching an episode of Bergerac.
Spacedsaint, I'm going to leave it. You totally missed the "about you" comment. Missed it by so far you couldn't have read it properly. I was actually telling you could only say that about you.. not accusing you of anything...and me only about me. Chuckle ****ing chuckle guffaw. So, so misread what I wrote. Quite funny actually. You clearly launched in with your preconceived view of my views. Brilliant. But anyway forget. I'm clearly a different type of supporter* to you and expect different things. Best leave it. * best also state that I'm not saying either is good or bad, before the accusations start.
Well, I did say "at times" and even weirder I didn't direct it at you. You may get accused of all sorts on here, but I wouldn't stand for that one...
Some of the stay camp, yes. Other parts are way too critical of the other side. And visa versa. Apart from me. Who is by definition absolutely in the right, and pious!
Adding 5 more wins to our tally puts nearly an extra 50% to our total number of wins this season so of course fans would be less critical of Puel and not as many would want him out. It would equate to a win pretty much every other game rather than 1 every 3 games, that is a huge difference. My post is not about league position, it's about % of points dropped (27%!). The facts are we accumulated significantly less points than what we did over any of the past 3 seasons and scored a hell of a lot less goals. Our points tally this season wouldn't have been good enough for anything like 8th in the past three seasons. You simply need to look further than the final league position.
**** me, I just can't leave it - I'm a fool, I know. Spaced - you've just stated the bleeding obvious and tilted it one sided for your benefit. Winning with style is numero uno... I agree as much as possible to agree, however and here is the debate.... choose one of those (winning/style). What do you choose?
When have you seen me criticise anyone for disagreeing with me? . . Can't hold a straight face any longer
Our final postion was strongly influenced by our points haul against the top six, we couldn't match any of them.
I have no idea what Spaced is posting as he is on my ignor list (a rare thing), perhaps you could P.M. him or ignor him?
Well that's a bit stupid as you could say take Messi, Suarez and Neymar out of Barcelona and they'd be no where near as brilliant to watch. Obviously if you take the starting front three of any team away theyd be pretty dull.
Disagree. We took 1 point from 6 against Hull and Stoke. We lost away to Palace, Swansea and Burnley. We drew at home to Watford and Sunderland and lost at home to West Ham and West Brom.
