Southampton to not form a guard of honour

[LS6]

I think Adkins will make them because he realises he has made himself out to look like a twat.

I think GP has shown he has more class than to expect what is outlined here. He will graciously accept the SCC team's applause when we come out, then orchestrate a victory of epic proportions

Who gives a flying fcuk about who is going to give us a guard of honour (We don't play bloody cricket you know). I am not even sure where this utter tosh came from. I am not sure I would want the the Albion doing such a thing. Yes we won the Championship and deservedly so but we don't need to rub it into their faces. The team will be well applauded by their own and as long as we beat Stains then another perfect day following the Albion this season.

We should let them form 2 rows and then we send our reserve team out in honour of their Championship.

Quite seriously though, if they don't do it, then all they are proving is that they are bigger tossers than we originaly thought. It just shows a complete lack of class and respect not to do it. In reverse circumstances, if say it was us having to do it for even Palace maybe, I wouldn't like it, but I would expect the team to do it.

They'll be playing away from home in front of a handful of their own fans so why would they care less what we think ?

Gullys Girls will be doing their guard of honour for the team, and thats good enough for me

It wouldn't just be us though would it. I would imagine most "football people" would expect it to be done and think it churlish at the very least not to do it.

 

[fire&skill]

They won't do it. Does anybody honestly think that Nigel 'David Brent School of Management Psychology & Clichés' Adkins will allow BHAFC to have the upper hand in any way, shape or form?

Besides, it's really just a contrivance that's been perpetuated by the egg-throwers; a pretty naff one at that. Hope they don't do it. I wouldn't want us doing it for anybody.

If ever we needed an extra incentive to beat these cunts then Adkins has just handed it to us on a plate.

The players should work on a "guard of honour" goal celebration and give the goal scorer the guard of honour back to the centre circle when we take the lead

Exactly. Might even get some sort of atmosphere going for once!

Cracking.

I know it's only trivial, and in the big scheme of things pretty unimportant, but I would have expected us to do it to ANY team that had just won the league. The lack of class shown is just hilariously pathetic.

Adkins impresses me less and less as time goes on.

It's one thing to put your foot in it by banging on about another team "keeping up", when you are 8 points behind and half way through the season. But this guard of honour:
a) Southampton form a guard of honour, fawning at the opposition players in front of their mocking support. Result: a fired up Southampton team with a point to prove
Or
b) Go on twitter the day before and tell everyone that no guard of honour will be formed. Result: if any Albion players with little to play for did need motivating, well that'll do nicely.

The obvious choice would be a), but would require a manager who doesn't act like a total SPASTIC. And I find this whole guard of honour a crock of shit anyway.

No need, he's BEST MATES* with the players now, so will probably just text it.
