Have we made any progress, post-Cortese?

So it proves Ralph was right and we are a “small” club. Next?

Why not bigger? Much larger population, so what do you base that on, how much they have won?

You can’t lose with that kind of thinking, but it does go a long way to proving @goatboy correct.

Club size and number of trophies… I suspect that those that obsess about such things have limited success with the opposite sex and need to employ ‘handies’ to get relief.

Come on, since when has supporting saints ever been about chasing success. Fuck its cool to support a shit team with an empty trophy cabinet because we aint so far up oursleves to give a fuck. We can hand on heart say we are not some glory hunters, but support our local side whatever level we are at.

Its also a bit ironic that most fans know that in the modern game, success is 99% cash, unless you do things differently - yet when we try to do things differently whether with SCW, vision coaches, or obsessives like Cortese, they are the ‘cunts’ who know ‘nuffink’ about the game because they don’t offer to suck off fans as the half time enteratinment… and are doing alien things… We want success, but without paying for it, Yet we want to spend money that we dont have, unless its the owners money we dont have, we dont like owners who keep sacking managers, yet dont like owners who dont when we think its right to do so… we want players to stay, but call them all sorts of shit when they fuck up … We think 442 is old school, unless 4231 or 433 or 352 or whatever is not working and ask why are we not going 442… I could go on.

Some things are worth getting fucked off about; millions of kids dying of preventable disease or hunger, poverty in the UK, racist cunts in the Oval office etc… my club who I love going through a shit phase is annoying, but it aint something I am losing sleep over. Fuck, if I wanted success, would I have chosen Saints? I aint that stupid!

On the same day as our loss to the Dippers I was reading about the Moscow plane crash and that amongst the dead was a 5 year old girl. When people wet themselves over losing a football match and call relegation a disaster they need to grow a pair. That was a true disaster and put everything in perspective (well, it should do for well balanced people).

I would vote for him. And Alpine, hypo, Fry, Batman, Shurlock and Guan. I would pay to go and watch those meetings.

The same people who now say there’s more too life are the first to get excited over a win, or a club statement about champions league and journeys, I fully know how shit we are, we’ve always been shit even when we were good, our ever so close fuck up and total meltdown in 82, our first 3 cup finals, Everton in the semi final, we’ve always been wank but we had spirit, never have I come across such wank fans without fight or the players, comfort blankets of theres more to life and in the next we’re all going on a European tour.

I’ve always said we’re shit, you’ve just come over to my side thats all, it doesn’t mean I don’t love them, it means I 100% know the Southampton way.

Why now? Want to get us onside and get the falling season tickets up for the Championship? They must think we’re fucking soft, last time we went down there was a number of reasons, this time there are no excuses, their arrogance has cost us and the fans won’t be there until they’re gone, the cunts.

Last time there were reasons and this time no excuses? So are you saying there are no excuses last time and no reasons this time?

This time we had the money, we had the platform, we we’re even arrogant enough to find some fucking ufo’s in staplewood, selling best players, having time to replace or get adequate cover and failing to do so, thinking the squad is better than it is, hiring a manager so out of his depth its fucking scandalous etc etc

It’s never the right time for you Bazza…are you frightened they might ask you what they should do. You know come up with some constructive ideas?

Pay the living wage, 51% of ownership to the fans, attempt to play 2 players from the academy or locality in all games, food banks before games, get genuiney involved in the community, fuck England and the Sky way what do they do in the continent?

Yep and what exacty is wrong with that? Its great to get excited about something you love/like or whatever - everyone should be happy about good things no matter how small - Its getting fucking morose and miserable over things that are not that important and that you have no control over that is frankly a waste of energy… Its like all those that say they ‘hated’ previous board members? Really? - what next, death threat emails to owers and directors? Thats what I mean about perspective and balance. Some ‘supporters’ really are ridiculous. Passion is not about how angry you get when things go wrong, its what makes you more determined to support no matter what.

You’re flogging a dead horse mate. I remember one so called fan posting to Branfoot “I hope you die soon.” As you say, that has nothing to do with passion and more to do with an unbalanced sense of what is important in life.

What are you on about? No fucking Saints fan worth his salt would ever get excited by such bullshit, this is Southampton, we are shit, we have always been shit, being morose and having a grasp of reality is want nd who we are, Champions League ppppppppppppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Ah well theres always my flowerbeds and washing the car on a Sunday…
