    Housemate: Have you seen who won the Copa Del Rey final?
    Me: Yeah Barcelona, 3-0
    Housemate: Awesome
    Me: Yeah, I wanted Bilbao to win
    Housemate: What, why?
    Me: It'd be nice for one of the other 18 teams in the league to win something for a change
    Housemate: Come on, at least we finally got a trophy this season.
    Me: "WE?!"

    Probably a disillusioned ManU fan...couldn't take a year without a trophy.

    On a side note...did we ever get a cup for coming second (again...sigh).

    Athletic Club Bilbao have an historic connection with Saints. so it is you, rather than your housemate, who has a right to say "we" in connection with this game. But I suppose he can support who he ;likes.

    He supports Man Utd. I've been following Crewe this season and hoping for their promotion, but I sure as hell won't be referring to them as "we" any time today. That title is reserved for one club.

    Yeah but not good ones. I doubt Bilbao have flaunted their Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup too much.

    True but they should it's actually quite a nice looking trophy. Still if Saints had won 4 less meaning trophies, i'd still be bragging <laugh>

    That it is. I've read some complaining of the title of "we" saying "fans shouldn't refer to themselves as we! 'We' didn't win a trophy, the team did" but I strongly disagree. Look at Southampton now, and then look at Southampton 10 years ago. The only thing that's still the same is the ground and the fans, and then if you look 15 years ago then even the stadium's changed. Fans are the longest running part of the club and have every right to refer to themselves as part of the collective "we", I think.

    I'd never be able to use "we" to describe another club because I'm not a part of that other club, I'm not part of the fanbase, I'm not a proper supporter. Though, I do use it for teams in other sports, but that's different.

    We discuss the team regularly, we cheer them on and we give them money. We're very much part of it.

    THE OTHER THING ABOUT sOUTHAMPTON IS THAT 10 YEARS AGO THEY WERE ****E AND NOW THEY ARE STILL ****E. HOW YOU MUPPETS CAN SLAG MAN U OFF IS UNBELIEVABLE. WE CAME SECOND ON GOAL DIFFERENCE THIS YEAR BECAUSE QPR BASICALLY THREW THE GAME SO EVERYONE KNOWS WE ARE THE TRUE CHAMPIONS.
    WE WILL THE PREMIERSHIP FOR THE NEXT THREE SEASONS AS THERE IS NO ONE TO CHALLENGE US. A CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WINNERS HONOUR WILL SURELY COME IN THAT TIME PROBABLY 2014. THIS IS REALITY

    ALL YOU LITTLE TOWN YOKELS CAN DREAM OFF IS GETTING YOURSELF OUT OF POMPEYS SHADOW.

    The other thing? What was the first thing?

    Also, if you can't find the Caps Lock key, it's to the left of the keyboard, next to "A". Hope this helps.
