Gary Hoper - Bid Number Three

[samoholic]

A good thing to draw comparisons on with your clearly massive, world-renowned club.

When were you last in a European Final since it's so easy?

Oh, right, that's right - playing in "the Championship" (sic) is a higher quality than the Europa League

That's why the top two teams in the EPL are in it - cos they're ****er than "the Championship"

I see what you are getting at but looking at the sides still in the Europa League (not even counting the sides that started in it but have been knocked out) there are still a fair few sides I reckon Southampton would give a game to. Perhaps you should watch the quality of play Southampton have displayed this season before casting judgement on the fact we are in the Championship. We'd compete with any side in the Prem outside the current top 6 or 7.

Taking his stint at Celtic out the equation he averaged under 9 goals a season. Oh well done, give the lad a biscuit.

And how many goals a season did the legendary Alan Shearer average whilst at Southampton? You guessed it, under 9 a season. He scored a magnificent 23 league goals in 118 games - an impressive ratio of (just under) 1 in every 5 games.

I guess that proves you have to move to big clubs to fulfil your potential.

You are only world famous because you have a tradition of winning trophies in a tin-pot league. Yes, you have won the European Cup (at a time when Scottish football was credible) and regularly play in Europe as a result of normally finishing 2nd in a two-horse race... I'm sorry but I'm not going to give you credit for that. Yes, you have also recently competed in the UEFA Cup final but so have Fulham and Middleborough and on that point even the UEFA Cup final was 10 seasons ago.

At least you do recognise that we are "World Famous", unfortunately you don't seem to comprehend why, it has nothing to do with the number of titles we have won and I find your ignorance staggering, or at least I would had I not read all you fellow window lickers' similary ignorant and parochial comments.

You're both an arrogant **** and a complete hypocrite. I guarantee that you know S.F.A about S.F.A

It's not a question of being insular looking. The majority of Sutton's matches for Celtic were in the SPL. The majority of which, your players are able to stroll through and still win convincingly due to the utter dearth of anything remotely approaching "quality" in the league. I dare say your players are a lot fresher when it comes to these big games against teams that play in competitive leagues such as England, Spain (2 horse race yes, but not comparible to Scotland), Italy, France and Germany etc... so it is only natural they'll put up the odd performance against the big teams. This is also evidenced by the fact you regularly no-show against sides from lesser nations such as Switzerland, Denmark, Austria etc...

Yep we beat Juve, Man Utd, Barca, Liverpool, Milan because we can stroll though games every week, the opposition just lie down & let us play at 60%

How many of Suttons game were as a midfielder for Celtic? He very often played behind Henke & Hartson or even as a orthodox centre mid..........even centre back sometimes!

MotM performance from Sutty at CB against the Huns once. That's how good he was.

I'm getting all nostalgic for Sutton now.

One of my favourite goals of his - notable for a 'burst of pace' from Lennon in the build-up

Bobby Petta and Didier Agathe ripped Ajax to shreds.

Imagine that team playing in the SPL now? The title would be wrapped up already.

Jesus, is there something in the water in Scotland. Judging by that theory, Chris Sutton scored a world-class, earth-shattering 1 goal in 28 games for Chelsea. In case you are stuggling to do the maths, thats an impressive ratio of 1 in every 28 games.

It'd struggle in the Championship though

By current EPL maths with Torres worth £50mil and Carroll £35mill, that makes Sutton a £500bagillionzillion player with a club he hardly started for with a manager he didn't get on with and a formation that didn't suit.

For the love of ****

I'm not slating the quality of the Premier League. Just saying Southampton are good enough to compete in it.

Are you just ****ing thick or are you at the wind up?

Plenty of quality players have failed to settle at clubs depsite being a huge success elsewhere,just off the top of my head, have you ever heard of Ian Rush?

He lasted a season at Juve, does that make him a dud?

A dud as someone implied Alan Shearer was because of his record at Southampton?

Face facts, Shearer was a good player but Southampton were too small a club for him to realise his potential, hence his poor goal-scoring record there over a period of five seasons.

Regards Sutton, everyone knows he had one bad season at Chelsea dumbo. It's been mentioned quite a few times (including by me). How about the season he was top scorer in the EPL when at Blackburn? Or when he scored 25 EPL goals in one season for Norwich? Or when he won the EPL?

They were using that as an example to highlight your own flawed logic. Fuck me, you're stupid!

I think you are forgetting when we were in the Premier League (similar era to when you were beating those teams) we used to routinely turn over the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal, Newcastle, Chelsea, Liverpool etc... The difference is I don't use these examples to try and justify we are a great club. I know Southampton's place and find it embarrassing for you that you don't seem to know Celtic's place in the scheme of things.
