Thread | Observations
at 16:31 27 May 2024
A couple of obscure observations from yesterday:
1. We really managed the end of the game well. For the last 15 mins Leeds had nearly all the possession but we defended well and when we had the ball we played it to the corners a denied them even more possession.
2. Our flags worked better than their scarves. |

Thread | Can Saints fans step up - again?
at 23:23 20 May 2024
Some Saints fans can be a bit on the passive side but they really turned up and turned it up on Friday. Very impressive. Can we do it again? I’m not saying the club with the loudest fans will win on Sunday but the crowd can and will make a difference.
Come on you Saints fans. Go fu*cking mental. |

Thread | It’s the result that matters
at 11:20 24 Dec 2023
Or is it? Personally I don’t think this is right.
It’s been said many times on this forum that all that matters is the result and how we get the result doesn’t really matter. Getting the job done is another way of saying the same thing. Now, I kind of get this but only up to a point. Supporters want to see the win of course they do but we want to see a good performance as well. We want to be entertained. We want to see quick, crisp passing. We want to see creativity and we want to see us putting real pressure on the opposition.
We get this occasionally at the moment but overwhelmingly we see long periods of ponderous possession that bore the f*uck out of me and yes we’ve been getting the results (mostly) but I come away from a win a bit frustrated and deflated sometimes. It’s not the sort of football that’s going inspire the kids and make them want to support the Saints. We’ve had some great teams in the past where you come away from a game we’ve lost but thinking “that was a great game and we played really well”. I would argue that, for the most part, this is preferable to a dull win.
Russ - you got to address this mate. Especially if we’re going to be a reasonable side in the prem. In the prem we’re just going get swamped if we invite teams on to us.
Massive possession counts for not very much I would say. |

Thread | Away fans in home areas
at 16:29 2 Aug 2023
I’ve seen so many moans about away fans in home areas I’m starting to get sick of it. You can do something about it. All of us want St Mary’s to be an intimidating place the for the opposition. This applies to both away teams and fans. We can make it tough for teams with our singing and shouting to create an atmosphere. We can make it impossible for away fans in home areas by calling them out, giving them dogs abuse and alerting stewards.
Are you men or mice? Take action and do something about it instead of sitting on your hands and moaning on a fans board. It doesn’t happen at Milwall and lots of clubs whose fans just won’t put up with it. Make Saints one if them. Make away fans think ‘I’m not going in a home area at St Mary’s it’s not worth it.
St Mary’s is our place to defend. Defend it FFS. |

Thread | Saints Fans
at 23:30 11 Feb 2023
One thing I find quite remarkable about this shambles is the docile fan base. The fans should have been ripping the seats out of St Mary’s and storming the offices. But no. There’s a few angry posts on fans boards and everybody goes home for a nice cup of tea. You get the club you deserve and unless the fans do something about this shit show, the club will get away with it. Everton showed how it’s done a couple of weeks ago.
I’m in my 60s and played my part during the Branford and Wrigley days. Now it’s over to the youngster’s to do what’s right. Get off your f*ucking a*rses and do something about it or see our club go to the dogs. The first job is to terrify the club into action and only action from the fans is going to wake the club up.
You’ve been warned. [Post edited 11 Feb 2023 23:34]

Jersey v Beckenham tomorrow called off because some of the Beckenham team don’t want to take PCR tests because they “don’t believe in Covid19”.

Mistake not having JWP playing. Scotland will defend deep at times and are bound concede a free kick or two around the box. Going to be pissed off if they’re wasted.
Much as I can’t stand most of our team, come on England. |

Thread | Football’s hypocrisy
at 16:02 21 Apr 2021
Listening to the FA, UEFA, FIFA, politicians etc bleeting on about the Super League (not that this will happen) makes me sick. Football is already broken. The big 6 already have an unfair advantage over everyone else. The big six are already as greedy as f*uck and couldn’t care less about anything but their own bank balances. The Prem isn’t very competitive. Other clubs break into the the top 6 from time to time but they’re generally the exceptions that prove the rule.
The bleeters are all hypocrites who just jumped on the populist bandwagon.
Give me a league with half the money in it but that is genuinely competitive any day. The big six can go f*uck themselves.
And relax. |
