I'm supporting Southampton this year.

[Mutts Nuts]

I know a few Soton fans. Their arrogance is beyond belief.

So do i and i`d agree with that statement

 

[krakatoa]

I'd be gutted if we went up and played in a blue shirt rather than in stripes.

Absolutely! What the hell kind of a club ditches theit traditional kit like that and tries to look like Liverpool??

Seem to remember Wigan doing the same thing. Very strange.

 

[Weststander]

Never forget for those who went in the Withdean times:
Adkins refusing to let he or his team applaud our title. Even Fergie makes his teams do it in similar circumstances ... showing he's more of a man.

And S'ton got there with a massive squad payroll cost in both of the last 2 seasons, giving collosal accounts losses ... all subsidised by the Estate of Liebherr.
So it was not incredible management, but being able to afford players greater than their true income could sustain, and the opposition.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I have hated Southampton since Sunday Soccer was on, as it was always them or Pompey, Brighton games were shown every blue moon. Adkins and there arrogant fans have only made it worse, I hope they get smashed.

Absolutely this.

Up there in arrogance with Manure and Arsenal fans and think they're a massive team.

If you have a soft spot for Southampton then you may aswell go the whole hog and start supporting Palace aswell.

At least Palace didn't f*** us over and fixed a result with Spurs to get promotion!

 

[DBL]

At least they score goals

 

[hans kraay fan club]

No guard of honour from Adkins merry men yesterday, for the Premier League Champions, in their first competitive fixture since taking the title. Poor.

 

[Hove Seagull]

I hate them so much and hope they are relegated by the end of October!
And, their new kit looks crap!
And, Adkins is a smug, self-centred git.
And, hope he gets sacked soon.

 

[terryberry1]

I have nothing against Southampton, just hate Adkins. The bloke is deluded. It wont be long before he is talking up their champions league credentials

 

[MattBackHome]

I dislike Saints, but love Le Tiss...

 

[Badger]

I always used to have a soft spot for Saints when they were in the Premier League before, I will probably go back to it now. I still don't like Nigel Adkins though, he's just got one of those faces I want to punch.

 

[NickBHAFC18]

Anything that wipes that arrogant smile of Adkins face makes me happy.

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Out of all the Premiership teams this season.
Really hope they do well and I'd love to see them stuff a few northern clubs.

Like so many people I think you misunderstand the word 'supporting'. You can 'follow' Southampton in the same way that I 'follow' all Lincolnshire clubs. You can 'wish them well' if you so choose. You can certainly 'like the way they play' (and I rather like Southampton's movement and ability to find men in space).

But you can't 'support' them just by sitting in front of the telly. That's what most Man U 'supporters' call support. Support involves getting out there and turning up at matches.

 

[Shooting Star]

Fans are arrogant, self-righteous tosses, just like their manager. Relegation would be very amusing. What team, who only played in League One two seasons ago, talk of becoming an international brand the moment they get promoted?

 

[Sheebo]

I have no feeling about whether they stay up or not. We've had a bit of fun with a temporary rivalry over 1 season, mainly because their ignorant twat of a manager gobbed off for no reason and we destroyed them and made him look veery silly, but now they are back to being the non-entity on my radar they always have been.

Edited for accuracy

The word 'supporting' was used to bring people to this thread. Which has worked.
Thanks for the brief English lesson though

Sorry if I was a bit sensitive. It's just that people misusing the world 'supporter' in the "I'm a Man U supporter myself" sense drive me potty.

 

[B.W.]

I would NEVER support Stains (unless we needed them to win to get us promoted)

I'm know I'm risking a 'whoosh' here, but - we did the same too.
