What do we think about Southampton?

[Lush]

My hatred doesn't seem to have diminished with Pardew moving on - and they had a good result against Huddersfield today. I see Harding is back in the fold too. Here's the Adkins quote ...

Southampton manager Nigel Adkins told BBC Radio Solent:
"It was a good victory for everybody, a great atmosphere to be in and the statement is out there - we want to do well and keep building on what we've done.

"Our intention is to win the division, it's as simple as that.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Definitely our biggest threat. Was desperate for Hudds to hold them to a draw but they've been battered.

 

[Zebedee]

Adkins is almost as detestable as Pardew. Saints clearly think they've got a god given right to win the league. How I'd love them to come unstuck again this year. So arrogant it's almost unreal.

 

[AMEXican Wave]

If we match Southamptons results for the rest of the season, we'll finish above them and there's nothing they can do about it...

 

[Ernest]

They're the NEW mighty JUGGERNAUT but win tomorrow night and that 8 point gap looks NICE

 

[Foolg]

I dont think Adkins is being arrogant, personally.
I think all will agree that they should have walked this league, given the money they've spent and the wages there earning. Apparently Fonte is on over 10k a week. Nowhere does it say that they deserve to win the league, just that its their aim, which is fair enough really given the squad.

They're still all c*nts though, and i'd love to beat them to the title.

I think Southampton are c*nts for the way they have done business and are trying to buy the title, Adkins is a very small fish who so far can't string more than a few results together. The league and our position in it are very much in our own hands. So long as we get promotion one way or another this season I'm not overly bothered about the stains but if we could finish above them that would be as welcome as palarse getting relegated

Here's the Adkins quote ...


" a great atmosphere to be in "

Has there ever been a great atmosphere in that place? Only ones who made any noise in Gus's first game were us. I admit I didn't go to this season's game. Were the stains fans any better then?

Yes, much louder than we were to be fair

 

[Dave the OAP]

... are trying to buy the title,

can you run that one past us all again? Buy the title? How do you mean?

 

[Sam Ovett]

I generally don't like them because the Southampton fans at school are all extremely annoying and arrogant. I mean, seriously, they piss me off more than any other set of fans, as are always going on about how shit Brighton are! Christ, look at the table and the results between us the past two season

Sorry, but at least I made a tenner out of their arrogance: "I bet Southampton will be top by Christmas!" This bet was made whilst we were 8 points clear...Not complaining about that

 

[tonymgc]

Think they're nothing special, They play average football & between Lambert, Hammond & Jaidi they have three players collectively heavier than our whole squad.

Most of their fans are deluded morons who suck their own cocks or are utterly dumb.

 

[CheeseRolls]

TO be honest I spent 90 minutes at St Mary's calling them Hampshire inbreds and then wondering why I had bothered. A good ground to go to, with a passionate bunch of supporters and no hostility. Certainly big rivals this season as are Charlton, but I really can't find much to detest them for. With the exception of their unfailingly self-belief that they will win the league, of course. It would be marvellous to shove that back down their throats at the end of the season.

 

[The Modfather]

I have never stopped hating them since 'that' draw in 1978, and I never will.

This.

 

[Gully]

This.

...and that!

 

[Reinelt12]

Just looked at the table, and it appears that Saints have played 12 home games and 8 away games - therefore they have a lot more away games to play yet, and their away record isnt great at all...

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

They spend the most, and so have got the best strikers, and so should be walking the League. But thankfully football does not always work like that.

Arrogant ? They have the most money and it is difficult to be humble and be confident. But their managers don't even seem to try.

Wankers.

 

[SurreySeagulls]

fcuking hate the inbred wankers. There i will sit on the fence

 

[Zebedee]

The only thing I've got in common with my Pompey supporting brother in law is my intense dislike of Southampton. Complete wankers the lot of them.
