brighton v southampton A neutrals view

[The Wizard]

But 7th is a massive achievement isn't it?

Not when you've spent the ridiculous amounts they have.

I expect Pardew is clearing space in his cabinet for the Manager of the Year trophy as we speak.

 

[shoreham moonraker]

Swindon are a nothing club who have recently decided that Saints are there rivals, a bit like Bournemouth if you will. We couldnt really care about them.

whoooah steady on big man, youre not our rivals, couldnt give a f*** about you unless we are playing you. f*** me talk about bigging yourself up.

 

[shoreham moonraker]

they are not 7th they are 10th unless cheating counts?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

In the same way that shit always travels downwards?

Ah, but that's not entirely true Ms K. Maybe the lovely Pards is insisting on a HIGH FIBRE DIET for his squad - in a bid to make them turds float??!

You know it makes sense.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Think of all those poor creditors including small businesses struggling for survival that were allowed to be shoved aside as Southampton effectively wrote of huge debts overnight then refinanced and spent millions buying players. There is something completely unethical about the whole thing.

They don't deserve promotion.

That is a beautifully evocative description. Southampton, the floating turds on the top of the toilet that is League One.

Although for now they seem to be rather stuck in the u-bend.

Exactly.

Cheating, dirty, bastards with misplaced delusions of grandeur.

Muppets

If cheating counted, Stains & Leeds would have been kicked out of the league.

 

[larus]

There are some people so thick that they dont realise that teams play better in one game than they do for another. Are we better than Norwich coz they took one point of us all season and lost to us in the JPT?

The reason were not likely to get in the playoffs (aside from the -10) is because AP took over with like a week to go before the season started. He had no time to put a team together. Hence our early season form was gash. Besides look at Swindons goal difference and also Brightons compared to ours.

All the pundits are saying we'll be the team to beat next year, and who knows some of you smaller clubs might take points of us, but in the end the cream will always rise to the top.

Hey. You're not even top of the form guide either. So much for cream rising.

Did Southampton come to an arrangement with their creditors? I thought the sugar daddy stepped in and helped pay off the debts as well as fun the player purchases. Might be wrong of course.

ive got a feeling they atmosphere at falmer,will be on par with pompeys

Hmm cheating. Cast your mind back to the very early nineties.

Your not going up anyway. You couldnt even get to the play off final in 2004 when Brighton beat you despite you dominating both games.

Seriously though, 46 games is a long old season and if AP doesnt get it going in the early stages of next season particularly after his summer cherry picking of the best players in the league, he'll be gone, and we'll bring in someone that will take us up.

TBH most Saints fans arent that bothered about not getting to the play offs. This season is a consolidation season. It all start next year.

I dont agree with this. I dont think Falmer will stink of sh*t and fish. If it does I'm moving coz Im in smelling distance where I live.

 

[grummitts gloves]

If I had to pick a manager to build a promotion winning team for next season, I would take Poyet over 'Hoofer Pardew' any day of the week.

Such arrogance!

What makes you think you'll be able to cherry pick the best players in the league? I'm sure you will be able to attract decent players with your facilities, but to suggest you'll be able to cherry pick is ridiculous. That is delusions of grandeur on a Leeds United level.

Read on their forum yesterday before the game that if we had any players that would improve their team they'd have bought them by now anyway.

Hilarious. I can think of several players that would improve their side. Painter (albeit he's on loan) and Calderon for starters.

Out of interest what is the address of their forum?

 

[SICKASAGULL]

Lets be sensible before we critise Southampton, they were docked 15 points yet are ahead of us in the table and we have only just avoided the relegation area, give praise when it has been earned
