After the trouble last year in the league cup game who's stupid idea was it to arrange West Ham v Chelsea for a Monday night game... I can't believe that, well I can but it's bloody ridiculous <doh>

Each PL teams fans ranked according to annoyingness on social media. Was all set to be outraged but discovered that 442 magazine had realised how genuinely adorable Saints' fans are. :emoticon-0111-blush Or perhaps we're just not that good at technology.<laugh> Arsenal, West Ham and ManU take the top 3 spots.

20. Southampton
You can’t really begrudge Southampton fans for gloating online. Every year they have their best players and managers poached, but Saints always find a way to come back stronger the following campaign.

Their team plays nice football, too, and the only notable Southampton TV pundit, Matt Le Tissier, is an all-round good bloke. There are a few accounts dedicated to how evil Dejan Lovren is, but we’re happy to let that slide.

I think that's a pretty fair assessment. :)
 
Moved on from Dejan personally.....means I have an empty slot in my hate list for the next bastard that leaves.

As you probably know, I don't 'hate' any player. I either like them a lot or dismiss them. Generally any non-Saints player comes into the latter category. Ex-Saints are either still liked or also fall into the latter category. But I do enjoy having the odd 'fake hate', and Dejan comes into that special category. I love the fact that he gets booed by Saints fans every time he touches the ball. I'm willing to bet there are even Saints fans who may catch him playing for Liverpool on TV and boo at the screen when he touches the ball. ;)
 
Will be an interesting summer if he or Poch are targeted.
Kinda looking forward to it.


I can't see Barca going for either of those, though Koeman is by far the more likely, as he does have a connection with the club, and has also amassed a fair amount of silverware in Spain and Holland.

I'm similar to you, though I admit at the second leg at Anfield I got caught up in it all, I joined 3,000 Saints fans (and gave my all) in a chant of f.... off Lovren. Lovren was stood only about 20 yards from the away end, and the ball was out of play for at least 30 seconds or so, so he really got it then :)

Yes, I did laugh while watching it on the stream. The booing was 100% reliable. Even when he had the merest touch or flick he got the loud reminder. I'm not sure if it will ever end for him. Actually, I hope not because he turned out to be the worst mercenary to ever to play for the club. And it's still amusing. :)
 
Even going back to his time at Huddersfield in the L1 promotion season (when all the Huddersfield fans on 606 were raving about him), I said that Afobe was a donkey. He's got to score that chance. And if he's Bmouth's hope to stay up this season, well, they won't.

Should be about 4-1 to Utd already.
