Comment | 2017/18 The Post Mortem Part 2
at 07:36:08
Spot on Nick, its refreshing to see an intelligent thought out view of our position as a club, too many people have a negative view and see us as a “selling club†wheras , like you, I fully understand our position, indeed if we had not been able to source the players in the first place then where would we be now realistically.
I remember a few years ago when De Bruyne was an unknown and saints were linked with him and our supporters were slagging the club off for trying to buy someone like him instead of a “proven†star …Mane was unknown, so was Toby and VVD, ….what is the alternative…blow all our money on one “Superstar†and keep our fingers crossed….and also for everyone screaming at Kat to have spent her fathers money on said superstars. …why should she?? She is running a business not some fantasy league football game, for those that call her names I say this, why don’t you re-mortgage your house and just throw the money at the club .
Sadly, these days, football is a business and we as fans have to accept that, I think the saints business is being run very well although as Nick said we did make mistakes last year with the appointment of MP but who doesn’t make mistakes? I Have been supporting Saints since 74 and moved to the midlands in 78 but have the benefit of observing from a distance and like one of the other posters on here I get so frustrated and sometimes embarrassed by some of the “Support†on this forum and others….we are not alone in having this element of support, just listen to 5Live or talk sport and hear what some of the other clubs muppets have to say. Saints are a well run ship who sometimes punch above our weight and can do again, we just need to accept as supporters that we are not going to win every game or that every season is going to be a roaring success, there are too many factors involved to influence what happens over a season and over the last two seasons, (in my opinion), the behaviour of Fonte and then VVD were the catalyst for our downturn, throw in the mix MP as manager and it took us a long while to steady the ship. Lets look forward to next season with optimism and a little bit of trust.

all very tense at the moment and yes saturday was a blow, conceding like that, but NA quite rightly just focused on the future straight away and yesterday was a big win which proved we have the ability to recover and not dwell on a possible negative. Obviously Reading game is huge and i think we can do it. Cov saint, are you based in Cov?? if so, ditto. |

Comment | Saints V Bolton The Preview
at 09:56:18
everyone has opinions of course but I don't get all (well isolated) negatives about pardew, he has signed good players and we had a cracking season last year and have only played 2 games this year in the league, of course pressure mounts if he loses the next 3 games etc etc but he hasn't yet and I haven't been run over by a bus and The taliban haven't blown up the civic centre!! yes these things COULD happen but very likely they won't so how about focusing on the positive because belive it or not we saints fans have a lot to be positive about. I travelled down on Saturday and did mention that i thought a link up/ flowing midfield player was more of a priority than a forward and lo and behold Saints announce just that sort of signing 48 hours later. I am confident this is going to be a good season, not easy because nothing is but lets be positive and remember where we are and what we are trying to overcome and so far doing quite a good job. .....p.s love this site by the way well done . |
