    We should pray for a loss...it's the winning that's causing trouble. :rolleyes:

    I got what St.G meant, but a nicely placed comma might have made the sentence a little more understandable. :)

    Oh, I see, [I've read through the thread now] people have cottoned on.

    Maybe it's me looking at it from a skewed angle, but I do find that [some] supporters are a little uncomfortable with a bit of success and consequent expectation. The amount of oo-er we might lose style posts I read [remember, I'm supposed to read them all, so you'll forgive me if I sometimes scan] is quite surprising to me because the poster has forgotten to put the alternative oo-er, we might not lose. And the last time I looked we were 7th in the league and moving upward, as per usual.

    I might do a poll on people's Saints optimism. How to format it though.???

    That doesn't allow for most Saints fans....we know our glass is full, but we expect some bastard to drink it if we ever allow ourselves to get confident.

    Yeah, I know what you mean, but I was thinking about a public poll where people could honestly put where they feel they are, in terms of their optimism. After all, it's an international break and some people are going to be climbing the walls by the end of the fortnight. :)

    Yep, there is that as well. Pity about red wine. Can't really drink it anymore. I think we've mentioned this before.

    1. I am happy with Saints current performance/position on the pitch

    2. I am happy with Saints but think we should be doing much better

    3. I am not happy with Saints performance. We should be doing better than we are.

    4. I am non-plussed with Saints performance. Neither happy nor unhappy.

    5. I don't know why I bother supporting them sometimes.


    2 and 3 are similar but different.

    I think you did, but refresh me... you are only a few years older than me....Please don't tell me red wine is going to have to come of the menu (by the way, I am not an alcoholic, but it has been 11 days since I had a glass of red wine :emoticon-0175-drunk )

    That is the most profound comment I have read on here in ages and is spot on.

    A la Mahrez, and look at the impact him coming on has for Leicester.

    Haven't we traditionally rotated in the RB position in recent seasons anyway? I know Yoshi isn't a RB by trade, but it's not too different from when Calum and Nat used to switch.

    Hmm, yeah. That's sort of it, but I was thinking of maybe more options, maybe 7 or 9 even. The middle option [say, no.4 in a 7 option poll] would obviously be the neither happy, nor sad point [OK-ish]. No.1 would probably be Me and a couple of others [maybe You, but I think you'd be a no.2 option - apologies if wrong]. ISIRTP would probably be a 7 [hope he doesn't mind me saying that] or closest to it.

    Hmm....I think 2 should be "I am happy with Saints but thing would could be doing better", then 3 should be "doing much better".

    FLT was making the distinction of two people having the same view but one was content and the other not content, I believe. See, I need to make more options. :)

    The injury to Cedric's eye was in a position where there is little flesh and it can be easily split open again so maybe Ron what to give him as much time as possible without the risk of it happening.

    Can I put out there the idea - as far out as it might seem - that maybe Yoshi is playing in the right position, and everyone else is playing
    True - they also can't see us, so it works both ways. I wonder which team in the league with a red or striped kit has the highest number of colour blind players. In which case we could hope to beat them by a heavier amount when playing them away.
