I am fluent in English and giberish, sometimes cannot tell the difference sadly. How about we play our secrete weapon along Guly, Danny Butterfield!
 
Another great thread !!

Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't James Miller live in Banister Road, just a short walk from Bedford Place (Student-ville) and of course the legendary Dell ?
 
If you're going to do one for Lambo you've got to learn Scouse. Take it from me it takes some mastering!

Great thread, though, and what a contrast to those "aggressive posters" that Beddy has been (rightly) banging on about.

Dear Guly,

Your home nation of Brazil is renowned throughout the world as being exponents of the most beautiful interpretation of the game but did you know that it was a Saints player who introduced your great country to the game.

James Miller was admired as a great footballer when he played in the red and white stripes of Southampton in the 1890s. At that time Southampton FC was one of this country’s top clubs so that when he went to Brazil to join his father who was helping to build your railway network it was only natural that he should tell everyone about the great game and the really super team for whom he had played while in Hampshire.

As you can well imagine the natural movement and agility of your countrymen meant that they quickly took to the game and established a number of teams and a national league.

On forming the national team the important question of what colours the team should wear had to be settled and everyone at the time said it has to be red and white stripes in honour of the great football team where their founder had learned all of his football skills at their famous academy.

The president of Brazil said no. The team should respect the honour of Southampton FC and the sacredness of their red and white shirts and play instead in Southampton’s change strip of yellow and blue which conveniently were also the colours of their Brazilian national flag.

Now my reason for telling you this important story is that as you know the Saints are revered in your great country and anyone who insults Southampton FC by association is insulting your great country.

Quite a long time after the formation of your national league and an even longer time after Southampton FC had been founded a bunch of upstarts along the south coast decide to copy us and form a club of their own. Sadly for them they didn’t have a Charles Miller to teach them how to play the game properly. However they had a modicum of success and suddenly like a lot of new kids on the block they started to get a bit cheeky and started to say really rude things about the Saints.

By association they were also therefore insulting your great national team and cast a slur upon the heritage of football in your great country.

It is for you to address this terrible insult and take revenge upon our upstart neighbours by giving them a lesson in Brazilian football this Sunday. Or as they say in your country:

“Vá buscar os bastardos.”

Oh well St Godder's, magnificent try ...but I'm afraid it's back to the drawing board for you!
