Southampton on MOTD

[16bha]

First top flight game in 7 years and still stacks of empty seats!

 

[Goring-by-Seagull]

Stacks on stacks on stacks! Practically a whole stand!

 

[Pole in Goal]

Only just over 25k there!

 

[perseus]

What to f*** they were playing at Not playing Barnsley!

 

[Beach Hut]

Kit looks dreadful

 

[T soprano]

Thousands of empty seats at saints

Just watching match of the day can't believe how many empty seats on their home debut in top flight for seven years (tinpot club) even lineker mentioned it on twitter

 

[Bladders]

Only just over 25k there!

Looked more like 25k not there.

 

[Mackenzie]

They must be shitting themselves after today. Wigan would surely have been a home game they marked down as three points.

Never mind

 

[Smithy]

Thats pretty poor tbh. Thought they would have sold out every home game in the Prem. They want to expand their stadium as well.

 

[Mr Blobby BHA]

Just about to say that they had 29000 there but ground looked quite empty

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Can't get my head round their kit, it just looks odd.

& perhaps their crowd will give some perspective to those who think it's a failure if the the Amex isn't sold out every week.

 

[fozzie's paper boy]

John Motson - "and Southampton now know what the Premier League is all about"...ah bless.

In the 4 mins it took me too start this thread there's already one that started 4 mins ago FFS

 

[T soprano]

Palace bottom of the league
Saints bottom of the league
Happy days

 

[Perkino]

1st ever league game against Wigan

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

They must be shitting themselves after today. Wigan would surely have been a home game they marked down as three points.

Never mind

Their next two games: Manchester United at home, Arsenal away.

 

[T soprano]

All that cash spent and a probable 0 points out of 12 that's what you get from an ex physio managing in the premiership

 

[Simster]

What was the gate? 28-29,000? Against a club with absolutely tiny away support? Do you think fans on their forum are chuckling to themselves at the fact we've added more seats and are now 3-4,000 below capacity in our brand new stadium?

You can easily explain both stats. Hardly a talking point is it?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Palace bottom of the league
Saints bottom of the league
Happy days

THIS with knobs on.

 

[Spoon]

Already consigned to relegation.
