I use to work with a bloke who, whatever memo he sent, never missed an opportunity to big himself up.
'Self aggrandisement memos' we used to call them. | |

The article does read as we’re little old saints and shouldn’t ask for anything more than being in the premier league. Problem with that is we are owned by two billionaires, who don’t communicate at all with the fans. We are run to make them money and apart from that there’s no real plan. Why shouldn’t we aim for more than just survival? If we keep finishing bottom 6, eventually we will be relegated.
Let’s not forget we have two full backs, how is that possible having such a thread bare squad even though we’ve been a regular premier league club, which apparently is the best league in the world? Considering the riches of the league we’ve been in for so long, why do we always have to sell before we buy? So it’s completely right that fans point this stuff out.
That written off course we support the team, but I for one don’t support the owners and as soon as they leave the better. And ideally we have new owners that have a clear realistic plan that’s in the best interests of the club. | |

I'm gonna enjoy the build up on Sunday. Will have a nice Sunday roast late afternoon and settle down in front of the telly with a cold beer afterwards. I can take getting beat. It pisses me off big time, but that's life (football). I can take the lads giving it their best shot - busting a gut & really going that extra mile to try - just TRY - their utmost to reach the FA Cup final.
What I won't accept though is a piss poor, inept, gutless showing like WBA away the other night. That was utterly disgraceful.
Cup semi finals don't come around very often for clubs the size of Saints. I expect every player to give their very best & nothing else. We need a performance from them that's befitting for Wembley - not West Brom. |  |

Is that all we have left, that they might put themselves out for this game?
Just out of kindness for the fans, eh.... | | | |

For real fans, THE FANS ARE THE CLUB.
The constant digs at Saints fans in every article and the regular praise of Liverpool fans would befit someone who loves Liverpool and hates Saints. They have no place here.
If you constantly criticise people, all you do is demoralize them.
Winning trophies makes fans more positive and passionate than anything. Most clubs of our size have won 4 or 5 major trophies. We have won just 1 major trophy in our history. Our support in the late 70s was among the most positive and most passionate in the country.
Considering the lack of trophies we've had, our support is exceptionally loyal. We have the 12th biggest fanbase in the country. For such an underachieving team that is remarkable. There is no other club in the country that has won so few trophies that gets support as big as ours. If Liverpool had won the number of trophies we have and we had won the number they have, our support would be a hell of a lot more passionate and loyal than theirs. [Post edited 17 Apr 2021 11:24]

This will be the 6th FA cup semi final in my lifetime, won 2. So a semi final every 7 1/2 years and a final every 22 and 1/2. Get into em you C&nts |
The 7th in mine, although I was too young to go to the 1963 one. The 1976 one was obviously the best. What a brilliant atmosphere there was that day. The noise generated by the Saints fans in the Shed led one newspaper report to say it was the noisiest Stamford Bridge had ever been.
This is our 13th FA Cup semi-final and Leicester's 8th. | |

Here bloödy here.
When i was growing up (and i hate to admit this) i was so close to becoming a Liverpool fan (and we all know why)......decent force in not only English football but Europe around the period in question. Luckily whilst my old chap was not a massive footy fan, his mate got me straight up to the Dell to try and see what supporting your local club was all about. Shilts, Wrighty, Armstrong et al got me hooked. Thereafter there was only one club and i knew what i was signing up to.
Gonna enjoy tomorrow and hope we can do the business, if we don't i just hope we give it our all which is all we can ask. I know some have their gripes and so do i at times, but i have to admit i am blinkered when it comes to Ralph. Yep, mistakes are made, yes i think he could do with a bit more 'back up' but for me i am firmly behind some stability.
Looking forward to the semi, let's get ourselves to the final. [Post edited 17 Apr 2021 12:37]

Spot on Dirk. Getting fed up of the ass licking of one of the most arrogant, horrible club's in the country. Saints fans are some of the most loyal fans in the country. The "whinging" is because they care and are very passionate. It's easy to be passionate fans when you support a club that has won trophy after trophy, year after year. Fed up of hearing about that arrogant club up north, that has done us nothing but harm. Any Liverpool shirt within 2 m distance of me, would be a disinfected door mat, turned upside down with gloves on. Very off putting, on a Saints site, keep hearing about that horrible club.
And yes, we are in semi final Dirk, and let's hope we do it. [Post edited 17 Apr 2021 14:00]

I think the 2 that stick with me was against Leeds in 79 as being an evening game at the Dell was such an amazing atmosphere. Although at Stamford Bridge for 76, all of the attention was on Allison and that bloody Fedora, but Villa Park in 03 particularly actually brought joyous tears to the eyes with the realisation that we had made it again and is in the memory more so that 76 for some reason. Maybe that was an age thing as only 18 at the time |  | | |

Good point about attendances vs trophies.
The only club comparable to Saints is probably Stoke who’ve won one league cup. | |

Have to admit I actually was a Liverpool fan until my big brother took me to the Dell (milk cup game vs Liverpool) and by half time natural sense prevailed and I was a saints fan for life. | |

Nick, should we now re-remember the last three months?
This thread reminds me of a podcast I’m listening to about Chinese elite. Basically history and their actions are seen as fluid and change with the winners and losers and even recent history is constantly rewritten in China. I’m sure Gao would very much approve of fans forgetting the last three months. | |

Well, it turned out not to be a very enjoyable game after all, but I would rather get to a semi final and lose than get knocked out early doors. Most of us can live with the promise of a good cup run and a mid table finish at the start of a season. We have had a good cup run and hopefully will finish mid table. The problem this season is that we have played some excellent football which puts into perspective the poorer performances. The words “work in progress” have been used quite a lot this year and that is exactly what we are. We still have some way to go and have been hampered by Covid, the lack of funds and the need to get a few more players off of the books. We are heading in the right direction, even if it currently feels like one step forward, two steps back. | | | |

I'm just not sure how you can conclude that we are 'heading in the right direction'?
For me, it feels that at best we are standing completely still and probably actually getting worse to the extent that even as players have returned from injury, things haven't really picked up.
After Burnley, we had the chance at WBA and Wembley to show how we we getting back to our best. For me, these were two of the worst performances of the year.
I will be very happy to be proved wrong in the final seven games, but I am not holding my breath. | |

In terms of development we have shown what we can do on a limited budget. The wheels started to come off when we had to dip into our paper thin squad and we are currently struggling to regain the confidence we showed last year, but since the restart last season we have shown what we can do. If we can the right players in during the summer there is no reason why we can’t have a better season next year. Think back to the start of this season and the Brentford game in particular. We started off very poorly but soon picked it up. Under Ralph we have shown that we can compete with the best. We just need to bring in some quality to build on that and find some consistency. | | | |
