So if we achieve Europa cup qualification next season, I've heard the winners of the competition qualify for the champions league?
Dearest stretch of water in the world to cross, though of course you have to recover the price of the catamaran whether you travel a few miles or a 100 miles.
I don't get Saints fans worrying about losing our history and identity. I don't know if you remember, but our history isn't exactly **** hot with success.
Is identity all about success then? Do you care less for a loved one if they are not always successful?
Wight Link staff get priv travel on the Railway, new entrants to the railway get nothing, such is life in the 21st Century. It is a limited thing though, only so many free passes each year but that cover the whole of the railway system. It was considered part of the wages and an incentive. It worked for me!
How arrogant. One season back in the big time and you're world beaters. I have a massive soft spot for Southampton despite being a Fulham fan (studied there at uni for 3 years) but you are fast becoming the new Spurs/Liverpool. You'd be fortunate to have the stability Fulham have.
No one's claiming we're world beaters mate, but err, yeah I think we'd quite like to be the new Spurs/Liverpool. Those teams are better than Fulham if you hadn't noticed.
If you knew the ambition of our present owners you would understand why such statements are made. As it happens, I have a bit of a soft spot for Fulham and I love Craven Cottage as a stadium. Don't be surprised about being ignorant of Saints ambitions though. Most of the media have no idea and not many rival fans do either. The days of little struggling Southampton are about to be put, well and truly, into the past.
Bitches come and go, they can't be used as a comparison to the love between a real man and a football club.
How many? All of them? If they priced you out of attending, is that ok? If your place is taken by a richer fan, putting in more money, that has to be a good thing eh?
There's a difference between progression and wiping out the past as if it never happened. I think Saints are still on the correct side of this line.
Organised league football is, and always has been, about competition and being the best a club can be. Without the community of fans a football club representing a city simply doesn't exist. But, although it is good to remember tradition and to know where a football club has come from, it would be a complete folly to live in the past. Besides, some clubs are rich in memories. Saints are just trying to build some new ones.
Even if they come and stay, they still can't be compared! My ex asked me the stupid question once and the answer was oh so easy, "I've loved them a whole lot longer than I've been shagging you"... never quite worked out why that one didn't last.
Got to pull up the last point CBK. You suggesting that pricing should be dictated by the disposable income of the incumbent fan? Blimey, you should move to France.
