Just how deluded are Southampton

My first post on here, so please be gentle. I have looked at NSC for some time, but was moved to register the other day to respond to this thread. it's taken a couple of days to sort out. A previous poster has commented on what a lousy paper the Echo is and i would second that. living just outside Southampton, I only buy it when they are playing Brighton. Incidentally, my first match was late 60's, I think on Boxing day when a young John Templeman had Rodney Marsh "in his pocket", as the expression goes.
The Echo coverage of Monday's match was hilarious - four articles all saying the same thing, as my brother pointed out, because i sent him a copy as well. he showed it to his boss, who had been at the match, and who said he did not recognise the description of the match. They thought the referee was rubbish, and all the other misconceptions that have already been highlighted on here. But there was also a bit from Dean Hammond "Don't blame ricky for the defeat", which to me seems tantamount to an admission that they would have lost even if he had stayed on.
I was also listening to it on radio Solent some of the afternoon. After the lambert sending off there was an immediate assumption that because AEA had previous of falling over for no apparent reason when an opponent comes within 10 yards - not their wording but you will know what I mean - that they would like to see an action replay of it. At least the Echo, to its (minor) credit, printed a picyure on its back page of Ricky lambert with his hand firmly and unmistakeably in AEA's face.
There was also a headline on the back page from Nigel Adkins saying "We will still win this League". When does self-belief become arrogance or delusion, as per the title of this thread. The "we're a bigger club than you" stuff is coming through loud and clear from some - not from all. Reminds me of Leeds United somehow. I have very mixed feelings about this, wanting them to succeed because most of my friends support them, but I was extremely happy on Monday evening and would love to see us meet them and beat them in the playoffs... or the FA Cup or anywhere else.
And my next post will be to about the ridiculous "best guitarist" list - Duane Allman only at no 47? ridiculous.

Say what you like. Brighton won because they got RL sent of in the same way Portugal got Rooney sent off. Oh and the ref couldn't see this below.
Thats all I have left to say.

Brighton did not win because 'they'got fatty sent off. The sending off changed a game that was up to that point well-balanced, unlike your predictable view, and Lambert is wholly to blame. As others have said, we accept Greer was out of line and deserved to go. Why is it so hard for you to condemn your player for his blatant indiscretion?

You are making a mother of assumptions suggesting we would not have won had that goal stood.
A still of a video is inconclusive. The referee had to make a decision based on real time happenings as opposed to eagerly waiting until 00:52 of the video and freezing the frame.
How is the Rickie Lambert vs El-Abd even remotely similar to Rooney vs Portugal? Other than they were both rightly sent off for violent conduct?

Thank god thats it now and we never play Southampton again. Until NEXT season obviously.
Tho with his constant bleatings I almost want them to go up just so they f*** OFF.

Somebody show Nebbykins a photo of the 'penalty' at St Faries and then maybe he'll STFU.

Whereas I would like to see Southampton's season turning to custard, just to witness by redneb's subsequent spontaneous combustion.

I have no idea why that photo is meant to be conclusive. It shows a lack of understanding of the laws of the game.
Anyway the chances of that being the last post are zero.

As others said, that pic proves nothing as you can't tell if the ball's on the ground or off the floor. If it's on the ground i'd GUESS it's a goal - if it's in the air i'd GUESS it's not. I think it was just in but not the '3 foot' over the line people have said / assumed. They need to learn perception. Anyways Ben, I don't know why you'restill moaning about it - a couple of decisions went against you - same as us at St Marys (and yes you're right, we'd have most likely lost anyway). You're top of thelg - just move on- it's one win each this season and you're hansomly above us as many Albion tohught would happen - it shows how well wedid last yr too. When we lost at St Marys - despite some appauling decisions - i didnt bother with nsc as i knew they'd be the yusual drivel and i thought we'd have prob lost anyway - who knows - that's football...

Well that too I suppose considering it is their divine right to win the league this season.

Still don't think the ball was over the line and the history books will always show BHA beat Southampton 3 - 0. Am I the only Albion fan that confidentally thinks we will finish above Souhampton (yet again) come the end of the season?

This season as well ? I suppose it depends on whether or not West Pork can 'keep up'.

another redneb classic "Brighton got fatty sent off" - I suppose el abd used powers of the mind to force the fat one's hand into his face, priceless!Think you'll find it's also more likely that in reference to the non goal the ref would have looked to his assistant for clarification regarding if the ball had crossed the line don't you?
Looking forward to your next instalment......
You're the only Albion fan who thinks that is a word.
