| Quote McClennan="McClennan"So basically what you and the other pieaters appear to be saying is that you're currently better than us with better players and didn't play well at all on Saturday yet you were only fourteen points better, playing at home, than a team that you've all just said are rubbish and played very poorly? If we're only fourteen points behind you after that then it won't be too hard to make up the difference.'"
I did say both teams were poor. Don't kid yourself that you played poorly and we didn't. I don't think either side will play as poorly at the Etihad in a couple of weeks time, but I still expect us to win there given the current line ups of the teams. |

| Fair enough if most of you think coaching is the only difference. We are 'well drilled' and you are not. I think it has more to do with the personnel of the teams. After all we are coached by a clueless ape.  |

It doesn't take a genius to see that we aren't 'well drilled' close to the line; there are other factors of course and it would be stupid to suggest otherwise, but I don't think we are that far off Wigan in terms of personnel [uon paper[/u. |

Never said you did. I said that people on here are saying both teams played poorly and yet despite the obvious advantages at your disposal i.e. being at home, no caretaker coach, you were only fourteen points better than us. That's a very small difference.

Don't be daft - because we're losing and underperforming then every single one of our players is utter garbage and needs to be replaced with whoever else we can find asap. Preferably by lots of speedy wingers who'll show some pride in the shirt. No explanatory factors will be considered. It is the Saints' fans way. |

Its a shame games are decided on the pitch then and not paper. |

| Quote Northampton_Saint="Northampton_Saint"To make it simple for you I'll state it [iagain[/i - Our players are underperforming because they have been poorly coached for a long time and our tactics are predictable and one-dimensional. [uOur players are of a generally higher natural standard and of a greater level of talent than yours[/u. Stick a quality coach in charge of our current squad for a few months and things would be rather different. If roles had been reversed and you'd had Royce instead of Maggie the last couple of years you'd have done well to make top 4 and wouldn't have had a sniff of any trophies. Warrington (by some distance) and Saints/Leeds (rather more marginally) have better squads than you do at the moment, but none of them have done as good a job of sow's ear maximisation as you have the last couple of years. Depressingly.'"
Mate, you don't need to make anything simple. Talking down to someone doesn't make you more intelligent. Neither does it make you [uappear[/u more intelligent. It merely shows you to be arrogant and, in your case, delusional. I've underlined one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever seen written on these boards. Congratulations. |

I would absolutely love to know he came to that conclusion. |

Look pal, if I could do anything but talk down to the likes of you then I would. But I can't. Sorry, but that's life. Evolution can be cruel. Fancy a banana? |
