[Football] Southampton relegated to the Championship

[A1X]

Literally the only reason to even consider signing JWP is to make sure he doesn’t stink out the England team again, he doesn’t get near our team IMHO.

Take his free kicks away and he’s bang average.

When was the last time they were in a lower division than us? Must’ve been decades ago?

I posted about this earlier in the thread but it was the 59-60 season.

What about putting his free kicks into our team though ?

A stain on the South Coast.

This isn't a question necessarily aimed at you A.R but where exactly is the South coast? Is it all the way from the tip of cornwall to the eastern edge of Kent?

It's just that whenever we play pompey, saints or bournemouth it seems to get called a south coast derby but if we play plymouth it doesn't seem to be. Is that because there's just too much distance between us or is the south coast actually a specific area that ends somewhere past Bournemouth?

I always assumed the South Coast was from The Witterings all the way through to Shoreham.

Used to go to uni there and lived round the corner from the stadium, a sad day for me as I’ve always had a soft spot for them since my uni days.

My son is currently at Portsmouth uni, he’s Albion through and through, luckily so far he’s not even mentioned Portsmouth FC (#twats)
If he told me he had a soft spot for them I would disown him and think I’ve failed as a father.

Sounds fair enough. I would be prepared though, make sure you have the locksmith prepared for an emergency visit and a stockpile of bin liners to put his stuff in.

To be honest he would probably disown me if I ever suggested he went and watched one of their matches.

His all round game isn’t good enough to justify what we’d lose out on by (e.g.) dropping Gross to accommodate him with his free kicks

I'm guessing the South Coast generically runs from the southern most part of Cornwall, to its opposite in Kent.
M23 derby being a pundits wet dream


Or......
Games between two rivals that are based in areas of close geographical proximity are often known as a local derby, or simply just a derby (UK: /ˈdɑːrbi/ DAR-bee, US: /ˈdɜːrbi/ DUR-bee); a sporting event between two teams from the same town, city or region.

True, our free kicks and corners especially are as bad as I have ever seen them…and I mean EVER. Might as well just give the ball to the opposition and save time

Don’t remember the last time I got even vaguely excited about us getting one

Easy one. Stretches from Rhyl around to Hunstanton.

For a few games after QPR away ? Before reality set in again.

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind?

Third best south coast club behind Muff.

Muff are an insignificant, noddy club like Reading.

Maybe, but a bit more significant now than Stains.....

My workmate is a massive Pompey fan and I knew he would be buzzing yesterday- but I couldn’t help myself, had to take the shine off it for him

Great news for you mate, saints have been relegated out of our league down into yours, now you’ll get your derbies Oh? What’s that ? League One you say ??

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Whatever your thoughts, it was a relatively easy away game to get to. Will also miss the Belgium beer bar.

I guess Plymouth is on the 'south-west' coastline, which probably starts just beyond Bournemouth. When you think of Dorset, do you think 'south' or 'south-west'?
