Why do you lot talk about Southampton so much? A little weird isn't it? In 30 years of following Saints I'm not sure anyone has mentioned Brighton really.
If our tactics are so obvious and predictable, then surely his holiness should have prepared his team to defend them? Rather than a put down, it reads as an admission of failure.
You're top of the league, absolutely flying, playing great football, promising new young manager in charge, a great new stadium to look forward to, and are 1/100 to get promoted. Surely little old us dont really warrant three threads??!! I appreciate this charge of arrogance may make things...
I have to be honest, he wouldn't be my first choice to go for a beer with. I find the relentless clichés pretty tiresome. Even in football terms, he does seem pretty dense! So I try not to listen to what the bloke says too much these days, as much of it doesn't even pass for GSCE level...
Fair enough mate, sorry, I know the every fact that I'm here to find the thread suggests hypocrisy of sorts. Came across this site a few months ago when someone on ours pointed out a thread about us, and there's more amusing non football stuff on here than ours - plus its free!!
To be fair though the bookies do price us up as favs for practically every game we play (with the exception of when we play you no doubt), so if anything it's just a statement of fact. God knows why you get sound wound up about little old us, you're away and gone - enjoy it.
You're obviously entitled to dislike who you wish. But this has to be the most one sided hatred/'rivalry' in world football! In 20+yrs of following the saints, I'm not sure I've ever heard a bad word said against you lot. This arrogance thing seems to have become self perpetuating myth...
To be fair it was the bookies that made us a ridiculously short price at the start of the season, and what press this league does get seemed to uniformaly spout the line that we would 'walk the league' etc etc. I've supported this club long enough to realise that generally speaking we only...
Back in the Best Western hotel Hartlepool after an awful 0-0 and an equally awful curry. £200 for a team that don't seem to care.
Basically, you're just better than us and deserve to win the league, good luck. Over and out. :annoyed:
Having never really tasted success, I found being favs to actually win something quite odd. And having been pretty much continually let down over the years I certainly didn't steam into the 11/8. In good old saints fashion I always suspected we'd foul it up. The cynic in me can see what's...
Fair enough. Just don't understand all the animosity really. I've been following Southampton for over 20yrs, and I can't recall anyone having a bad word to say about you lot. I was there at the last game at the Dell between us and everyone seemed to have a good laugh really? Was pretty...
