Starting the season with Matt Paterson as your striker, Jake Thomson down the wing, and Anthony Pulis on the bench will do that <laugh>

It was fantastic watching everthing fall into place and by the end of January we were flying, those months after until the end of the season are among the most enjoyable i've ever had as a Saints fan.
David Connolly was especially an inspired signing adding PL quality but was a risk given his injury troubles.
My user name was inspired by that season, Saints back from the dead so to speak.

100%; the joy of seeing all the puzzle pieces being placed together from the rubble of administration, as we assembled the side that went on to back-to-back promotions was a real joy and a real privilege.

One thing I have noticed with a couple of comments on here that I don't agree with is, if you go off on one, start 'type-shouting', lose your rag and abuse players and staff and insist they be physically removed/beaten/sacked then it shows you have 'passion' and if you don't then you are a happy clappy.

I don't do that - in any aspect of my life, it solves nothing, literally nothing, and makes a lot of people think less of you and take less, or no, notice of you henceforth. I am passionate about this club, my first game was in 1971, I will be buried with a small percentage of fans that actually saw them (at the game as well) win something worthwhile, and I want them to be an entertaining club, that wins the majority of their games. I want this all the time, I'm upset when they don't perform, get relegated and seem to be a joke club. I was quite upset about the result yesterday, ask my wife, mind you to be fair I'm a bit more upset about her secondary cancer.

But going off on one, ranting, swearing, demanding everyone and their relatives get sacked in an angry and shouty manner is not me - I'm still passionate about the club.

For the record, even though it is only 6 games and I said I would allow them 10 or 12 before really judging them, this is worrying me. I also agree with someone I have on ignore, that sacking Will Still would be pointless for a lot of the previous reasons given, and I also think Sports Republic would get someone in who was not suitable or 'fit properly', it seems to be their way of doing things.

I also think the player recruitment has been a bit naff, with a better goalie needed and someone who actually is a target man who scores goals up front.

My answer? I don't have one. I'm not a management type in any situation, I have never recruited office staff, let alone pro footballers and my football was Southampton League, Salisbury and District League, Commerical Houses and a tiny bit of Wiltshire and Hampshire League - so I know nothing.

So getting angry about players, management and so forth is just me shouting my head off and saying 'look at me'.

I have no clue what I am talking about when it comes to running a professional football club.

Your football experience amounts to more than mine. I was often left back ........ in the changing room despite modelling my style of play on Facchetti!!

Playing in goal is a con job though isn't it? When you are young lads and you don't really have that much interest in football but you want to hang around with your mates, all you have to do is say 'I'll play in goal' in the kickabouts and you're in. I didn't know anyone who 'wanted' to play in goal when I was young. They all wanted to be Mick Channon or the like. So that's how I started really.
 
I was the reserve left back in my local kids team... just think the coach felt sorry for me and did it so I could at least say I was part of the team despite having the football prowess of a pine tree

Good, the coach runs the team not the captain that gets dropped. If it was Saints what do they want, their huggy best mate Russ who picks the same players/mates every weekend and plays the same way regardless of the opposition or players?

The coach runs the team, if you can't hack it and it upsets you - leave.

So, Jack walks into Dragan’s office:

“Sorry Mr Solak but some players have told me they don’t like Will” (just writing that makes me laugh it’s so pathetic)

and he replies:

a) “Thanks for letting me know Jack, ask them who they’d like as the manager and I’ll make a couple of calls and get him in”

or

b) “tell the moaning ****ers to get on with their job and stop bothering me”

… or c) maybe it didn’t happen at all.

I’m going firmly with c.
