That has always been my main points on contention and how dreamland and bollocks they were and are, people wanted to believe so they allowed themselves to be children at Christmas again, reality went to pot.
Fuck that, we’re Southampton and we don’t have the money to retain our players let alone progress, not negativity simply reality, we’re Southampton and thats it.
I had the pleasure of Bletch’s company yesterday as we watched the game. The teams performance was worthy of our contempt and fortunately when called upon, our cynical humour pulled us through the full 90 minutes.
He’s (pellegrino) got to go urgently. Yes he’s nice and all that but ultimately in a role that called for positive, aggressive and attacking football whilst blooding youth, he’s fucking shite. Yep, He’s fucking awful. A 16% win record with a squad superior to some of our previous managers is just not acceptable. He’s scared the positivity out of them.
He should’ve gone in January in my humble opinion but hey the ghostly presence of VVD allowed him more time. Well Virge has been gone a while now and stats may say different but I don’t think we’ve improved significantly if at all.
As I was saying to his Bletchiness yesterday, I can’t get my head around Gao seemingly gambling on a glorified health and safety exec to stop his investment quartering in value. Odd.
If we don’t want to pay compensation right now, then put the guy on gardening leave until the end of the season. Bringing in someone from outside at this late stage would most likely be a disaster and another costly exercise.
once we know what division we are going to be in, we can make a more informed decision. Who knows, the 3 teams beneath could somehow accumulate no more points than we do.
Blind optimism is for religious folk, we’re Southampton as we’re shit, I accept that but what I can’t accept is people thiniing we aren’t shit when we plainly are, our dreams were shit as they weren’t accountable nor were they realistic, dreams and goals have to be achievable regardless of time, did anyone ever think champions league football or europa would happen consistenly? Who the fuck would drop ou of the top 6/7 for that fuck wit dream to happen?
Any bellend believeing that and believing selling your best players and using #wemarchon is going to work to gain and establish european football is not only a clueless wanker they’re a danger to society.
I find if you carry that trough to your daily life, by and large it’s a recipe for a happy existence…salted with a touch of reality of course.
The hiccup of a season of football where you experience much the same as most other football supporters, (several times during their lifetimes) the disappointment lasts until the first new player is signed and the ones who’ve cruelly let you down have departed. Hope springs eternal…OK we might be in a lower division but the excitement of a new season with new possibilites is with us again. I’ll always look forward to a new season…wherever we are.
We have always been shite, always glorious losers, I accept this, you can’t seem to, even when we were at our best we came 2nd and fucked that year up.
He isn’t wrong though and up here and in less patient places shall i say passions would have run far higher far sooner, we are shit and the management, players and board need to be told, they can get to fuck with their patronising #wemarchon, we don’t don’t march on do we? They fuck off after 90 minutes of being shite in their bubble and have a bottle of champagne or setag team select beer and fuck a whore in a moderate suburban hotel or even a tag team event, they couldn’t give a fuck about us so why the fuck should we give a shit about these cunts who’d leave at the first opportunity if they could as they can at least see were fucking rotten to the core.
You mean propaganda by the club, I can tell you one thing, I have only spoke to one person who’d defo renew regardless, Reed, Kruegar, Lander and Liebherr and obviously Pellegrini need to go, next season will see a protest of non renewel and home stay aways with the usual club screams of we need you, they should have thought about that when they tried to scrimp and save the last 2 years, Les and Ralph, you couldn’t make it up.
@lifeintheslowlane is correct and if you tried looking at life that way, you might just see the cunning plan, that has so far gone over your head.
Ralph, Les, Kat and Gao all knew we were a bit shit so readjusted their sights on more achievable goals.
Just 5 more draws and we will hold the enviable record of most draws in a season, which will also get us the 5 points needed for the record low points to stay up.
Two records in a single season. I’m exited about that. You?
Records Barry. You keep saying we are a small club, so adjust accordingly. Here’s something obtainable for a club our size.
It’s daring if nothing else and shows the recruitment process is as good as ever in picking Pellegrino(i doubt there’s another person on the planet that could so clinically see this through and we found him).
Just think, by the end of the season we could be the undisputed champions of the draw(maybe move to Italy), with the added bonus of yet another record that confirms our mediocrity(it’s what you’ve petitioned for, for so long, be happy).
You need to start appreciating all the hard work it has taken to get to this point(again, you have been the cheerleader for this). So smile Barry, we are what you always dreamed.
What I always knew to correct you, I knew we were shite, others thought we weren’t and believed the shite, they must have a sinclair c5, a dreamcast and a motorised surfboard in their garages…
