    Over the years the Saints have been described in many ways such as Struggling Saints or Scintilating Saints etc. etc.

    I thought it would be good fun to see what adjectives are used this seasion to describe us.

    I found this earlier:

    Back surging Saints to beat Wigan‏ posted here - http://bwinbetting.com/leagues/premier-league/surging-saints-beat-wigan‏,22991.html

    Smash & Trash – Impressive Saints and Liverpool’s waste of space posted here – http://www.cleansheetsallround.co.uk/2012/08/joe-cole-liverpool-waste

    Has anyone come across any others?

    I've seen some forummers here (none whom have posted in this thread) who are somewhat arrogant about Southampton.

    I have to say that in the last few years Saints fans have been satisfyingly smug...it's a lovely feeling.:laugh:

    Suspect we will have a variety of emotions this year.

    The person who wrote that deserves a smack. He'd better not let Cortese hear about it.

    back page of the Sun will be "Saints and Sinners", or something along those lines, at least once this season in relation to a Southampton game.
