Seoul FC's Director of Communications, Park Jong-Woo, expressed his delight at hosting Saints ahead of the 2014/15 Premier League season: "Southampton have had a very impressive campaign in the Premier League this season so it's only natural for us to be expecting a fool house." On a more serious note, it gets the brand out there. Good stuff. Let's hope a fool and his money are soon parted [sorry, couldn't resist].
Its not exactly funny, but never mind we are obviously better at playing football than playing the comedian.
It's a DTLW April Fool, not a Southampton one, there's nothing on Twitter or the website or anything.
I apologise profusely for failing to reach your own high standards PTF. The amusement is in seeing people fall for it, quite a few Saints in Asia and Australia got quite excited. I also caught the Head of Sports at Reuters, so I'm classing it as successful.
Look, sorry, but I commented before I knew you did it. It's a good effort but if the club released something like that as an april fool, with all the people they're paying to do media work, I'd be a bit embarrassed, as would you I'm sure.
It's no Huff Post one, they said Bale will play for England, which is awful. Southend United said "CORRGASM" had been entered into the dictionary as an ode to Barry Corr's.goalscoring feats.
We've had some awful ones. The golden paintbrush, for example, and we once had one saying Peter Crouch had a disease which meant he'd continue growing taller forever.
