Personal one-to-one punditry 'n pints with Steve Claridge. (Leroy Rosenior and Dave Kitson coming soon) contact [email protected]
Just seeing the team walk out to the cl theme in a packed st marys would be something in itself. It would be a huge milestone in what has been an incredible journey.
Exactly how I saw it from Shearer, the same way I might say to a mate about little Southampton, I think Shearer is a fan so wouldn't say it the way you've taken it TSS.
I agree, I think Shearer is quite enjoying this run we are on. He was the very complementary last season too
Yeah I dont think Shearer was saying anything tooo bad. Yes as a pundit he should be the one saying "hang on this team actually has a shot" as he should know the ins and outs but to mannnnnny people we are still little Southampton who during and after Christmas will slowly dwindle out to our rightful relegation scrap. The Premier League has found it's formula for many people, 9 times out of 10 you know who will be top 4 or at least fighting for it so it's no surprise when another team come in they all talk it down.
We may not be a minnow, but we aren't a 'big club' either, a designation that mostly comes down to finances. Until such time as we can match clubs dangling the better part of 100k p/w in front of our players without batting an eye, we're still looking up at a number of clubs in stature...even if we're looking down at them in the table.
