Don't Ajax have the advantage of being, well, effing Ajax? And using Barcelona as a comparator to Saints is barely worth dignifying with a **** take.

Of course.

Of course, in all the points we did get, not one single point was due to our good fortune, getting the rub of the green, other teams gifting us goals, us cheating/diving to get penalties and so on. Every single point completely deserved.

Okay then. Not decapitated but murdered in cold blood in broad daylight with a eff-off big knife (don't tell us, the knife was superimposed by ITV News). What does your razor sharp not-actually-decapitated revelation tell us? That he isn't a murderer after all and is in fact a political prisoner of the evil UK government? The whole thing is made up? None of it happened? Do tell.

The point is it isn't a choice between top six and we're doomed. I fully expect us to do lots of the things you say above which will see us carve out a little spot between 12th and 7th for the next few years. That would be simply brilliant for me, and a tremendous success for the club, too. Its a shame that so many sneer and belittle that level of achievement as if it is all somehow beneath the European Megagiant that is Southampton FC.

That'll be your couple of hundred million spent, then.

Walcott made his debut, what, six seasons before Shaw? It's the idea that all these top six standard players are going to hang around at Saints for season after season on the off chance they'll be joined by half a teams worth of kids at a similar standard. That's the point. We'll be lucky to keep Shaw longer than one more season.

The, like, government did it.

Fulham = 8th.

So you liked the sash and this seasons kit. And you hated all the other kits. Hated. All of them. Fair enough. "Stripe loving fans". LOL. It is our actual,you know, kit.

Pretty sure the plain back thing is a Premier League ruling - something to do with making the numbers out on TV (clearly nonsense, of course). I am sure MLG/The9 will confirm within seconds.

I don't hate you. It's great to have a completely new and fresh contributor to the forum. Welcome aboard, brand new person.

And fantastic PR for Saints too, especially if it drags on for nearly a week and players start saying to the press they will go if he goes. That would be just brilliant.

I'm not implying either of those things.

Seems unlikely on all levels. Can see how he would go there, one day. A great opportunity to win a league and do well either in the CL or win the Europa. Perfect stepping stone to the really big (rich) European clubs. But can't see him going now.

Google "Daily Mail southampton new kit". Two seconds work. Saints fans saying they don't like it, club parroting out what a triumph it has been.

I think I'll set myself up a new forum persona too. Not quite decided on a name yet, but am coming down on the side of Wonder Woman.

This forum also established how Swansea "didn't even challenge for the top four" like we would have done in their shoes and forum geniuses on here "wouldn't want many seasons like they've had". I mean, ninth. Oh, and Swansea had an uneventful second half of the season. Despite winning the league cup. So, basically Laudrop is a loser.

Not really. The Mail ran an article about how sh it our new kit was last season, complete with quotes from fans about how sh it it was, acked up of course woth two surveys confirming fans thought it was sh it. Didn't stop fu cking saps on here dismissing the story as sh it stirring by the media with an anti Saints agenda. No one on here think the Mail have an anti Cardiff agenda, then?

Total realms of fantasy. Changing the colour on that video would take, for most normal people, about four seconds. And I include having a quick slurp of tea in that time. Really not that "painstaking", then.

Not sure why you don't just suggest Jose Mouriho or the spirit of Bobby Robson channelled through an old lawnmower for the role instead. Both just as worth discussing.

Why would a "proper football man" be happy to take on a part time "passion coach" role that you have just made up?

Or "your" pictures were "sexed down".

Me too. Looks great.

What is the matter at hand?
