Hopefully we can just limp over the line as we're suffering from injuries badly at the moment. Matty Fryatt has been out all Season, Aluko is injured (who is amazing by the way), McShane, Bruce and Hobbs are also injured. We're down to our bare minimum now and just need to do the same as Watford and we'll be fine. Fryatt may be making a return for the bench against Ipswich though which is fairly promising. Mansfield were nasty fans. Still are I believe. They were more concerned in inflicting damage on opposition fans that they're actual team's result! Lincoln fans are now all obese and old so they wouldn't be catching anyone
...And sing, "Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work we go" in unison whilst drinking green tea out of their coffee flasks.
Just wondering do you still sing this? http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/football-banter/2009/01/is-hull-citys-mauled-by-the-ti.html
That's an ironic, though admittedly embarrassing chant. IF you're actually bad enough to be losing by a sufficient score to make us sing that then you get lured straight into the trap; we do it and then the opposition fans attempt to mimick it and do it in an ever more camp and 'unique' way than us therefore making yourselves look even worse. P.S. The Bubbles **** is getting old
They claim that the Olympic Stadium is going to be the next Chapter in the West Ham story. 1. I doubt they'll even reach near capacity. 2. The atmosphere will drop in that place no matter what seating adaptations they attempt to make for the running track. 3. The stupid ****s will probably get lost trying to get there.
Having a pop at our recent trophy wins!?!?..........really!?!? Your last trophy win is even longer ago than ours! Whoops, sorry, I forgot the Johnstones Paint trophy
Only because of you morons infesting it. It is a thread about Southampton's recent success and the ability to win games in a more enjoyable way than the likes of Allardyce's idea of football. You're starting to sound like Leeds fans.
Oh yeah, I do apologise. West Ham's notoriously beautiful, slick, fast-moving football that has Barcelona written all over it. please log in to view this image
I never said anything about trophies. Just making an observation that West Ham fans always bang on about Moore and Hurst et al.
Lol. Accepting the risk that I may give away I am really quite fond of the hammers (Mum used to peek over the school wall with all the other girls watching Moore and Hurst training.......AND SHE NEVER AVOIDS TELLING YOU FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME ) I think if West Ham stay in the PL they will fill the OS for the first season (or as near as) BUT if they don't get some success there and quick it will peter down to 40k or so, which is still more than the Boleyn. As for the Lincoln Fleeces lol. Lincoln crowds were always a very distinct mix. There were all the old fleeces (or blousons back then) that complain at everything without ever shouting and sipping their hot Bovril from plastic coated thermos'. The other side were very angry and very mouthy teen to mid thirties who weren't just mouth. They said it and they f*****g meant it to strike a chord. That was some real danger a la some of West Ham's lot. That was a 2-300 v 2-300 proper match up after (and often before as well) the game. Very real danger which I escaped from by yards on many occasions and was swallowed up and given a seeing to a few times. Problem being the way kids think they are so invincible these days that there is somewhat of a mini-revival going on these days. It's silly because these are boys and young adults that think they are hard, they are not the guys that we shudder about that would not bat an eyelid about putting you and all of your tribe in observation for a month. That is a plus because those days were very scary. As for the West Ham. You guys need to see from my perspective. Not speaking for all although I assume all this 'hatred' is pretty much derived from last year. I have supported 'little plucky Saints' for 31 years. I spent my whole childhood being told by glory boys that Saints are doing well for a small club. surviving on the last day of the season, year after year. One day you'll drop out. We never did Then the Premiership happened and after a few years money took over. No money no chance. **** clubs like Chelsea and old timers like Spurs, Aston Villa, Newcastle started to get up to the top and a new wave of glory boys would be there to laugh, poke fun at the little Saints fan. It's like being the little kid that everyone bullys for years. They can do nothing but take and dream of what could be. But we still hung on in there being told 'One day you'll drop. Unlike many Saints supporters I went along with the pundits and their Lowe, running a good ship. Club that knows it's place, Does well with it's means. I don't dislike Lowe that much. He was just too small to get us where he thought he could. Thought he was able to achieve something that was above him but he did put the foundations there for us to achieve. He just thought it would be him to do it. Then Hoddle and Strachan (playing some pretty dire football like BFS) got us achieveing moderate success and Lowe thought we were on the way up. I thought we were on the way up. We all thought we were on the way up. That was our downfall. We were overachieving not reaching where our level should be and Lowe was definitely not capable of getting us to that point. Hoddle thought we were below him and Strachan couldn't continue that improvement on what Lowe though the budget should be. We know where that ended. Roll on to ML and Cortese. These foreign guys come in and save us from REAL tears. We love them but we don't know them. They saved our club but these promises they make are way over the top aren't they? We can't repeat those promises we will be laughed at more than when we were little plucky Southampton. Most of us remain quiet. We're whispering to each other but some will say whatever they hear and they are proud to tell everyone we willl be CL in years to come. We've been told so. The rest of us dare to dream but are realistic. We like the promises but don't really believe them deep down. Pardew brings in Lambert, builds a team that looks quite but (in my eyes) fails miserably. Huge budget for the division. Akin to West Ham and their 50k for Nolan but we don't belittle the others. We look inward and celebrate the JPT trophy but our new saviour loves his day at Wembley. A heart warming moment for all Saints fans to see. Looking away from the JPT the failure seems to confirm that our 'realism' was correct and that these promises are unlikely. Premiership? We can't catch the autos in L1 even with all that money and even with the -10 we should have been play offs. then our saviour Markus dies. We are doomed. Next season starts. Pardew starts badly. The promises are looking like nothing more than a dream. Suddenly out of the blue Cortese sacks Pardew and installs 'Mr smarmy' as you lot call him. Who the f*** is this guy. what is our chairman thinking. This guy talks as if he cannot see the reality of where we are and what's happening. He thinks the sun is always shining. How can he be so positive. We're still drawing with L1 teams. Then the unthinkable happens. This guy takes the team that Pardew got together. The ones that failed to catch the autos or the play offs under Pardew start to gel. This guys positivity continues and makes us happy. The team are happy, the fans are happy and the manager is off the wall happy. It's smile time but we're still realistic we are way off the pace. These gobby Brighton fans with their gob****e manager though are not so humble as us. They are mouthing off to the max but we start to catch up a little. Getting to the last part of the season we are cathing, we are in the play offs, we are in the autos. We fail to win the league by one point. This guy is the bees knees. He's a miracle worker and Cortese sits there happy without smiling. He made a good choice, maybe Cortese does know what he is doing. Doesn't smile much though. This is business, why should he smile. He did what he said he qould do, that is his job. Let's hope this guy and our manager can keep us in the Championship, maybe in a few years we will get to the Prem. Just maybe. Cortese is having none of that but Adkins doesn't spend much money. First game of the season. It's Leeds at home...eek. We lost to Plymouth and drew with Millwall last 2 seasons and this is on TV just like those were. Hope we don't get hammered. We win in style, WOW we might survive in the championship Happy thoughts. The season moves reallly fast and we are still top. A few people point to the kumb. The hotbed of one of the 'famous' old clubs. These guys are really having a go at Southampton. How dare this little newly promoted team be at the top of the league. West Ham have spent loads, they mean business, they have installed BFS to make sure that their mission is complete and they aren't going to accept anything but winning this division. We are massive, we are a huge club, we are better than all of the team below especially one that just got promoted. You lot with your stadium on the cheap. Lucky b*****s not having to pay for things. Well our saviour didn't mess about with pennies in the pound when he bought us. He didn't buy us on the cheap, he made sure everything was paid IN FULL. Everything we have is ours, bought and paid for, not bargained for on the cheap and we deserve to be top because we are there and as a bonus we are playing stunning football.
