Debatable. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/octopi But if i wanted to argue with a mollusc I'd talk to the mancs. I like the octopedes version myself.
Given the reaction to you here, it seems you're infamous. From your username, I'm guessing troll. That's the thing, we're not saying we can beat them at anything - we *dream* and maybe even aspire to do it one day. We all know that day isn't today, nor for a many seasons yet, if ever; at least on the pitch. However, using the best in Europe as an example to run your club can't be a bad thing. Off the pitch, we've taken & added ideas to our already great youth set-up & have a great bunch of players coming through. And controversially brought in a manager known for binging youth players into the 1st team (at Espanyol, the 1st team kept being sold from under him). Of course the set-up won't be identical to what they have there, it'll be the "Southampton way" as our chairman likes to call it. Touche & yeah, I prefer octopodes as well.
