Many years ago my female line manager, from Portsmouth, with absolutely no interest in football, would occasionally call me scummer.
I would generally just ignore the comment, until one day I called he a skate.
OMG!!! As the young like to say.
Her reaction was priceless, because she knew where the name was derived from.
It so upset her feminist ways, it became funnier by the moment. It stopped her calling me scummer again, though.

I'm glad that the myth of us being a well run club has well and truly been dispelled. All that faith in Les & KL was well and truly misplaced by a lot of people on here, despite the numerous warning signs that I, and others pointed out on here. Obviously we were all stupid and should have trusted the board.

I'm sorry but I won't stand by while history is rewritten ro fit a negative agenda :emoticon-0181-fubar

Les joined in 2010 and Markus died in the same year, leaving KL in charge
2009 - 2017 was a period of fantastic success for Saints (and fun for us!)

So not really a myth we were well run
and the only faith in Les & KL was actually not faith at all but confidence based on results

and yes now its gone wrong and so all the neggies can come out of the woodwork and say "We told you they were all ****ers"
I feel for you because it must be difficult to be so badly let down by the useless fools around you o_O

Personally I'm planning my trip to Wembley where I guarantee I'll have the best time possible considering we're going to lose ... that's life !

The board did some things right, some things wrong. Unfortunately for clubs of our size two or three wrong decisions can result in disaster. And these wrong decisions are inevitable at some point; it's just the way it is.

How many medium-sized clubs stay in that 7th-10th zone for a sizeable length of time? Only Everton.

Even bigger clubs like Newcastle, Leeds, Villa struggle to get there, let alone stay there.

All we have learned, let's face it, is just how hard it is to survive in the top 8. As the 'best of the rest', your players and managers get taken, and its an impossible task to keep replacing them adequately.

The most supporters like us can hope for, is that the club manage to win a cup whilst in a good spell, like Pompey, Wigan and Swansea have done in the last 10 years.

Basically as I said before, Southampton (and others such as Newcastle as you mention) are making up the numbers. The system is rigged to benefit a small number of teams and the rest are just there as an inconvenient necessity, a bit like fans.
