Oh and name a team. I would guess the one I talk about above is probs somewhere in the early nineties. 92 maybe??? something around there. Was in a period where we scraped it in the last couple of games for 3 or 4 seasons in a row. Like I say Flowers, 2 quality centre backs and MLT kept us up for those 3-4 season with the other 7 being there to make up the numbers.

Put Flowers, Hall, Monkou in our current side and we would be top half easy.
 
I am still waiting for any squad year of anybody?
Let's discuss football and people run away, name a weaker squad Southampton have ever had in the premiership? That's not including the money we have invested/wasted this season.

Rubbish, that GMI fellow was hounded off this board, his arguments were basic but he seemed to know more about football than nearly everyone on here, his opinions were opposed to many and yet his opinion was vilified and he was thrown to the wolves, the forum is a far poorer more sterile place without him than with him, this is the only team board on this site where nearly everyone has the same opinion.

That's bollocks. He was disliked because of the manner of his posts and because he refused to debate like an adult. It had nothing to do with the content of his arguments, which I think everyone has acknowledged actually contained some decent points at times. And he wasn't hounded off here, he was banned by mods for breaking forum rules. Most people will agree that this forum makes for a much better read without his contributions. Forums are for debate, but they are not for being controversial for the sake of it.
 
GMI, seriously, if you're going to put in the effort of typing properly then at least do more to disguise yourself. Coming back and making the same tired points in the same aggressive way isn't going to make people like you just because you've stopped typing like a 6 year old.

And if, on the very small chance you're not GMI, then I'm very disappointed there are two of you in the world.

Do you know it is more than a coincidence that your views so echo Barry's. Even your style of posting is the same. As for his knowledge of football matters in comparison to the majority. Who says so, only you?
Not one other person has expressed that view!
That is no coincidence...........Barry serve your time!

At last someone replied thank you,

Are you saying that team is weaker than our current one? Really?

Flowers
Dodd
Adams
Hall
Monkou
LeTissier
Hurlock
Would get into our current side and that was the weakest team I can remember bar this one at this standard , Hurlock was a very underrated footballer and I would love to have that type of player in this current team.

Have you posted as much since he has gone?
 
Ah, Beddy. You must regret your loss of power.:biggrin:

Have to add that if he isn't GMI and attempting to get back on the board, he is entitled to his opinion. I appreciate that some do not worship Cortese or Adkins, but I find his criticism over the top. You do not accidently stumble into the Premier League from League 1. Perhaps we are too high for our squad and perhaps NC and NA have made errors, but i doubt it is done with malice, so why the anger.

I have been posting more relevant stuff and less pointless, repetitive arguing. There were other people who stopped posting altogether because of him. He actually drove the number active users down. And yeah, I'm getting the sinking feeling that you are him.

I am not GMI, he was hounded out it would appear, bullied for his differing opinion.

YAWN. lol. Somebody doesn't actually watch the games. Somebody feels ashamed when his other friends wearing Manchester shirts make fun of lowly Southampton.

Get with it. Watch the games. Wear your shirt with pride and then take a look at sides from the past before retracting your 'worst Saints side you;ve seen in the Prem' This is far from the worst and a few of those that survived were possibly worse than our championship side let alone this one. Get a grip and come back with some sensible criticism. Welcome to your own opinion but at least base it on some thought rather than hallucination.

Name me a worse Southampton side? I can't and I wish I could, this has nothing to do with being ashamed of my team, embarrassed we are that naive we went into it with a poor side and poor signings yes but never ashamed in the slightest.
I knew this was going to be controversial and for that I apologise but thats the way I feel, every game we have played there has been a defensive blooper, how many teams have that honour?

I think the 08/09 team takes some beating...

No I am not at all, the thing is this board must be crying out for controversy as just look how many replies this has got compared to the others? And I shall add repeat posters coming back on when they know the topic, hypocritical or simply intrigued? You decide.
 
Err, no you did a typo just above but I did not point that out did I? I am not that petty and don't go onto a football forum for spelling lessons:D
 
Let's get this straight? I am being busted for being someone else because I accidentally and inadvertently tapped a space bar? Christ you should not be on here you should be rounding people up!
Also this thread is a lot busier than others, what does that tell you?
