sad saints fan

East of the Hamble you will get nothing .That is "bandit country " and will follow anyone but Saints. North of Winchester they will always follow the big London clubs . To the West mainly Man Utd and Liverpool and never attend games ,also rugby union is a much bigger draw in places like Bath and Bristol.

It would be pointless having a larger capacity stadium because even if we won the champions league 10 years running Southampton does not have the population to increase fan numbers significantly. There only just over 300k people in Southampton and about the same number in Eastleigh and Winchester combined . So you would need about 6% of the population to be a) a football fan b) a Southampton fan c) Not be an armchair fan d) be able to afford the price of admission. You would get a few tourist but not a significant amount .

Villa away looks to be nearly sold out

I entirely agree with this . LOVE this thread .

Don't know what the problem is mate but all the best . I am sure someone will continue your good work . Seems a perfect pastime for MLG

Come on you lot its about time you started doing Ralphs job and picking your line ups

Ipswich

Please correct me if I am wrong but I thought the premier league was made up of each team that are in it . So each club has a representative and then they vote . If this is the case then each club must take a share of the responsibility for this situation .

Browns ,on the corner of Millbank Street and Williams street is easy walking distance to the ground and if you are early enough Bond street car park is just down the road and I believe free to park . Downside a nightmare to get out after . Of course you could always pop back into Browns and let the traffic die down.

Nope just the usual suspects bitching

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59629341 The girls even get a (very small ) mention on the BBC website . Couple of lines in the 3rd from last paragraph . Draw for next round tomorrow night with all the top teams entering at this stage. Chelsea or Arsenal at home ?

Thought you were joking but just checked NRE and nothing on the Saturday at all

https://www.whoscored.com/Referees/85/Show/Mike-Dean There I have found something . Think this proves he has no vendetta against SFC

I wonder if any of our Saintsweb clever ones can check Mike Deans record for , maybe the past three seasons and see how many free kicks, penalties and cards he has given for each team and see if this is comparable to other refs? I wouldn't know where to start or I would try myself.

If the first part of the result reads "Chelsea 0" I will be very happy .

Question: When was the last time we got a home draw in any cup competition? It doesn't seem to happen to often.

What is wrong with OS . Big news coming from SMS.?

🤣🤣

I have just looked at next weekends fixtures to see how far we could drop and was rather surprised to see that all six teams below us in the table play each other Newcastle v Leeds/Burnley v Arsenal/Watford v Norwich . So they cant all pick up maximum points . With a bit of luck we should stay out of the bottom 3 even with a defeat. Mind you I am still dreaming of a draw.

I always park in East Street multi storey . Just try to avoid the crackheads that loiter around the top floor.

"Three years of excuses and it's still crap ... ta-ra Fergie." was displayed at Old Trafford, and many journalists and supporters called for Ferguson to be sacked.[77][78] Just think about what he achieved when given time But the fans even wanted him out. Ralph will never lead us to the kind of success that United had , neither would anyone else but he will produce a good team ,exciting to watch who will probably always be about mid table given time . As a Saints fan that is the best we can ever hope for.

Brian O niell and Francis Benali just to see how many minutes they could stay on the pitch into todays non contact football

I am a little concerned because I booked the same 2 seats for both friendlies , on Tuesday I had a call telling me I had been upgraded to the Saints bar and to call into reception and collect new tickets . No hassle ,really nice in there and soft seats . But I have had no notification about tomorrow . Got a feeling that it is going to go wrong.

Just got back from the Levante friendly and I must admit I am not to bothered about losing Ings but I would be most concerned if we lost Tella or Adams.

i have paid my fiver and get the pictures
