If the 'derby' creates a spicy atmosphere with some pantomime wind ups between the two sets of supporters, then I'm all for that. Match day is not the right time for polite good wishes towards your opponents. Let's thrash em, then go back to being mildly patronising.
Betfair odds implied percentages are: 60% Saints win 16% Bournemouth win 24% Draw The two joint most likely scores are 1-0 and Saints to win and score more than three goals! Vin
Both clubs should be celebrating and reflecting upon how far we have both come in the last five years.
Is it my memory playing tricks, or did Oxo not have his debut against the Cherries in one of the Cup competition and scored, on some misty Tuesday evening? I was in the Itchen and their fans were quite noisy. I think they were above us in the league at the time and wouldn't let us forget it.
bless I hope Cherries are going to change their nickname soon, as the whole country has seen them being ****ed live on tv often enough so that cherry is hardly appropriate anymore. 7 nil and we overtake spuds. 3 points will do though, even it is from a dull 1 - 0 although I doubt that will be the case
from the BBC Who are you? Southampton v Bournemouth (16:00 GMT) Posted at15:44 Not sure if the St Mary's PA announcer is being a bit mischievous in his pre-match music selection here. The Who's classic 'Who Are You?' pumps out - surely not a dig at the Cherries hardly ever being in the same league as the Saints? Maybe I'm over thinking it...
