You do get similar sorts of surprises every season in this league, which is one of the many things which make it so great. Even though we'll probably lose, I think we can show everyone that we mean business, put on a good performance and make the country take notice. It will also be a great opportunity to show everyone how much Markus did for us, so that he can get the recognition he deserves.
Wouldn't it be appropriate to be able to sing his song during the match even if we aren't doing that well.
Keep it together History. Do you not remember huddling round a campfire, as we watched our Saints lose to the likes of Doncaster Rovers at the bottom of the Championship, whilst nearly folding. We have battled harsher winters! Manchester City do not bring fear to a Southamptonman. It's a long season. COYR
Don't get me wrong, its a great worried feeling......theres nowhere I'd rather be, but the Premiership Champions on the opening day, it just shows how far we have come. But they do look rather good. In fact, when I hear Mancini moaning about lack of signings, I often roll my eyes, just where are City lacking?!? If Nige grabs us a point.......we better start polishing the ol' key to the real city up nice.
Maybe theyll play an unsettled in Rodwell on the first game. And rest Silva, Balotelli, Kompany and Hart as they are apparently doubts. Rickie has not scored in 8(?) games now. When was the last time that happened? He is due goals . Same with Rodriguez and Lallana. Sharp is also on a goal scoring run at present. Chins up please
Honestly think we will get hammered. I'm sticking bets on 4-0, 4-1, 5-0 and 5-1. Just a little sweetener! A scoreline of anything less and ill be happy anyway!
I got slated for telling people not to be so negative and to have a more positive and enthusiastic attitude, like this. Yes, we´ll probably lose but I think we´ll give a good account of ourselves and we´ll show teams that we aren´t going to be beat easily.
No you didn't, you got slated for telling anyone that didn't think we would win "you have a f***ing awful attitude." There is a big difference. Here's hoping we snatch any sort of result!
ummmm No, I said "you have a ****ing awful attitude" to the people who said we will get absolutely smashed and that we´ll be shipping in goals. I didn´t, in any way whatsoever, say that if you don´t think we would win that you have a ****ing awful attitude. I don´t know where you get that from!? Did you not read the second line of the my post that you just replied to? ....I said "Yes, we´ll probably lose" If you don´t understand that, then it means that I don´t think we´ll win.
