Ancient history. Your new owners are successfully asset stripping the club and all the fans do is whine about the word count of Lallana's full page thank you note ****ing morons When your children ask you why your city no longer has a football club you can tell them it was more important to send tweets about "twatbeard" than be concerned by the words, actions and plans of the board The club died but you for one day you got "Lovren" to trend
Never produced Carragher, Gerrard, Owen, Fowler, Mcmanaman and with Kelly, Flanno and thats just the locals there are all the other youth prospects in the u18 just in the Prem era.
Now R, you only mentioned the born and breds there....apparently "produced" can mean geordies, croatians, the Welsh anyone that just happens to go through puberty in your shirt.......
Shearer only joined Southampton when he was 16yrs old, four months short of his seventh birthday. They hardly produced him, they found him I'm pretty sure we got Sterling at a younger age too
This is the place your fans revert to every single May after the abject failure produced by the current crop, so much so that this year your fans took the now or never approach and started celebrating when the thing wasn't even won .Southampton have just sold the world's most expensive teenager and have stars in the making in Ward Prowse and Chambers. Liverpool on the other hand couldn't be bothered recognizing and nurturing local talent and just spunk away tens of millions on the whatever overhyped ****e there is going. It;s getting late and we will be in the very early hours if I post the exaples of such players.
Ach no fun R, Under Pies rules you could have us producing those Fine Scouse talents of Suso and Tiexera!
Southampton certainly are fantastic at motivating footballers to move away from that dump Anyway your new manager is an expert at delivery mediocrity to scandal-ridden clubs so you might yet avoid relegation - even more money for fat Kat
Apart from the fact you're continuing to run out the same crap despite it being clearly disproven above I.e the players you've sold aren't local and Roger named more born and bred players we produced than you managed and he hasn't even started on our current under 18 squad. So your going to give the 60+ million you've made from the players sold to charity eh? All these "home grown talents" there'll be no need to "spunk" it on players from elsewhere eh? Or better still, since you've already got such fabulous young pod people to immediately replace the pod people you just sold; all you need is to use that cash to buy a Suarez or similar and you'll win the league! Or at least the league cup eh? Or......you'll sack another manager within a year, sell any "produced" players yet again...... You seem to think it's our fault mate. It's your players saying they are being lied to by your board. That broken promises of building a competitive squad are the reason they want to leave that the manager they trusted is now gone etc etc...surely not with the utterly fabulous production line you have down there! Seriously it's just embarrassing now.
S In fairness and despite your utter insanity I hope those (Pompey) lads do well for you I like Southampton, always have. I'm glad they're back in the top division as it's a better division for it and I have fond memories of The Dell and St Marys (not always results wise). I'm also glad you're not representative of most of the Saints fans I've met who are usually a whole lot less mental.
Bale, Chamberlain, Walcott, Shaw, these are hardly ancient history and you seem to think Martin Kelly hold's a candle to these players, despite the fact that among them the most expensive teenager and most expensive player. The most deluded fan base in world football and there infinite wisdom
How many still at the club? We nurture ours and keep them for more than 5 minutes I think you do brilliantly at producing these players btw always have I was laughing at the fact you managed to name only 2 neither of whom were even "home grown" I've got to say I'd much rather be deluded (all footy fans are deluded just so you know) than dense and a tad unhinged.
