Is that the football reality you listen to on the radio or the 3 minutes of highlights?
Itāll still be 3 mins more of a reality than you see.
Ok Petal.
Not as well as I hoped and I was as shocked as you were happy with the capitulation against Chelsea. But I will still believe we will put out a team against Wolves and we will win up to the point of that game when we cant. If I did not do that I would not be a supporter I would just be a whining middle aged man who should go and find something else to do with his spare time than watch, listen and read about football.

Iāll support them ie the shirt whatever the division, I simply know shite when I see it, have a look at other forums and theyāre spitting blood and how shit we are. Youāre blindly hopeful about your club, I never understood that naive outlook but good luck.
Your sister sits behind me.
As soon as the first goal went in, āthatās it, weāre down. We donāt deserve to be in the leagueā.
Do me a favour and tell her not to bother coming to the games anymore.
With the lack of resistance shown yesterday we donāt, our fans were wank as well (so I have been told), have been since the Dell mind.
Imho we need to play only 2 of PEH, JWP & Romeu from now on. Perhaps Armstrong can find a decent pass in the final 1/3rd otherwise, cant see us getting another point until December
I think Bazza is suffering from the āCrap of Bazmaniaā
This effects many football fans who feel the need to get very ANGRY when their team is piss poor as opposed to reflecting that itās a symptom of our constant changeā¦ from manager to playersā¦ decent ones fuck off and we are left with averageā¦ this is all we can expect to be honest within the modern game where its a simple case of money brings success
I canāt get ANGRY over a gameā¦ then again I am a southerner with no passion for anythingā¦
You said it baby, you said it, at least some of our fans are saying that atmosphere was a disgrace yesterday, shut down St Marys and open the fucking Dell again.
That may not sit well with the residents of the old site.
Fuck them they have no passion, move them on for the sake of a good old singsong.
Is the alternative a desire to be an absolute fucking loser who lives and breathes football as their only basis for living? Whose very identity as human beings can be defined by a socially constructed and widely perpetuated and thereby recognised name - āScouserā, āGeordieā etc? Where wearing no shirt to a football match in January is a sign of āpassionā (towards what is essentially a commercial organisation that exists to make money from a populous willing to readily part with theirs regardless of the product being served up) as opposed to fucking stupidity, mild hypothermia and an all round less than enjoyable afternoon?
Personally I donāt understand why you donāt direct your hatred and discontent towards the super rich and elite who protect the ānatural orderā of things through FFP and have in turn ruined football rather than those doing their best to be sustainable, think outside the box and those realistic enough to know their place in the footballing pyramid.

Define loser, I know people with some money whoās greatest enjoyment is football.
You seem to be a modern football fan with that statement, youāre quite correct though it is a business and weāre all the poorer for it, you ask any Saints fan, anyone who went to the Dell and I can assure you they miss it, miss the atmosphere and the passion, yes we had passion then as well believe it or not.
That sentence says so much about you 
It means football can transcend wealth, that loaded supporter is still a boy with a love of his team.
I think my comment goes on to define what I mean. Nothing to do with money or social class for that matter. More their value system if football is the most important thing in their lives.
Either way itās a subjective term by definition.
What do you mean modern football fan? I support this team as that is where Iām from. Is that modern or traditional? Hardly a glory supporter am I. I did enjoy the Johnstons Paint Trophy final though I suppose. I went to primary school near Milton Keynes and was surrounded by Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal fans. Funny that. What Iām saying is, roll with the times and stop pissing and moaning about us being shit.
Thereās no science involved in buying football players. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesnāt. Yes, we probably should have spent Ā£30m-Ā£40m on a CB to replace VVD rather than what we did buy but the fact that players of that ilk would command wages in excess of what we can presently afford, means we couldnāt. Weād have been rocking the applecart too with our other players feeling relatively deprived on the salary front. Itās a delicate ecosystem. It aināt that simple.
Not so long ago you were advocating us buying āexperiencedā players like the WBA and Stoke models yet have conveniently gone quiet on that front since their relegation and the fact that the latter are propping up the championship.

Still should have bought Cahill or Evans when they were available, our model of buying low selling high was precarious as best and fucking stupid as worst, that gamble long term was never going to work out.
Evans was never available to us. Arsenal and Man City wanted him but neither pulled the trigger, he stayed and then a year or so later werenāt interested and Leicester came in for him. Another team we cannot compete with financially.
Ok Cahill?
