I am thinking of starting up a sideline as a life coach
Interesting that Adam Blackmore 'liked' this.

While we're on philosophy...
I've said it before and I genuinely mean it: I go into literally every single Saints game expecting us to win. Not hoping, expecting. Then, very soon indeed after a loss, I'm already expecting to win the next one so I'm not even miserable for long.
I generally expect things to work out. And they often do. Prof Richard Wiseman in his research into luck found that people who expect good things to happen tend to be proven right.
Perhaps if everyone expected Saints to do better they just might. Not because of any mystical magical nonsense but because a crowd expecting a win doesn't create a negative atmosphere. If we're 2-0 down after 60 minutes I truly think we have plenty of time to come back. Think how that would affect the team if the entire crowd believed it.
I may well be stupid to think all this but I'm a very happy idiot if so.

Have you read The Secret? Similar ideas (but does go a bit far I think).
Think good things, expect the morning post to have good news rather than bills and there is always tomorrow if today isn’t good news.
I am the same with Saints. 2-0 down. Well, in 5 mins we could be 3-2 up. I joke with ‘it’s the hope that kills’ but it doesn’t. It keeps me going. And happy.
Remember, that well known philosopher Ronan Keating once said
“Life is a roller coaster, you just have to ride it”
PS. Vin can you sit next to me at Saints games as I am surrounded by negativity. We could start a positive vide that drives us to Europe.
This is how I picture TIOON7 when he wins the dishwasher race or pinch and a punch.

You’re just as naive for blindly believing Semmens and discounting the article.
Of course he will say that most media stories are rubbish. Out of interest why did he come out and say that on Wednesday?
Look at the language he uses. ‘Unpopular players’, suggesting that anyone who contributed to the article is an outsider, in the minority.
Im not saying the article must be true, but finding objective information about this whole saga is really hard.
Them being in the minority would make sense. If it was a majority who were that discontent then you’d expect the manager will have already gone
Like it or not I think Ralph is here for the first 10 games or so at least. Nothing else makes sense. Would’ve been the logical option to sack him at the beginning of the summer knowing that we had a decent budget to give to a new manager coming in. By giving him the summer, bringing in a load new coaches and presumably letting him have a say in how the money has been spent does not indicate to me a manager at immediate risk of losing his job.
In fact if they were to sack him within the first few games of this season I would question wtf the board are doing

Any time. Are there non ST seats near you? I envision a force of optimism blasting across the ground like the shockwave from an explosion.
Let's make it a winnable one. Which, for us, means Man City.

All this discussion on whether the reporter has a source(s) or not, is irrelevant whether true or not. All that matters is what happens between 3pm and 5pm tomorrow. You will all have your answers then.
I have a ticket and am looking forward to an afternoon beer before the game in the sun. No season ticket this year, but thankfully a seat in the Kingsland tomorrow, l do not want to be sat in the Itchen in the predicted heat wave.

Hopefully. But my point was the use of ‘unpopular’ seems to dismiss the source.
We used to sit HH in the Itchen, but the expanded press box has had us moved. YY - think I'll be in the sun....
Yeah I thought I was taking crazy pills as you definitely didn’t say that
