I see they've announced the per-match entertainment in the away end for sunday

never understand why people get a bus from eastleigh, walk round the corner to the taxi rank and grab a taxi from there and it's under a tenner to the city center. Top bloke is Jas' and no doubts he knows a thing or two about the general feeling towards the skates, plus if he says he'll have people wound up I don't doubt that in the slightest 😂

Surely this can't be real aren't all SCUMMMAHHHS terrified of the double hard pompey and they have a pompey shield around them that means they could never possibly lose to a SCUMMAHHH? Yet it seems there like westwood is cowering in a corner and does nothing to leet that scummer steal his wig, that couldn't be possible

I believe the hold up is in sourcing handlers for the monkey petting zoo, the old mush who looked after the smoking monkey at the zoo on the common has passed and finding someone trained in looking after them is proving hard to find. Once that hurdle is crossed though the 70k flexible pricing stadium that some dream of will be a guarantee i'm sure

And to think there's a bunch of folk who are choosing to be the opposite side of the ground to the inbred scabbing freaks, so if that happens sunday they won't be able to see the looks on their faces as their hearts break.

That game was one of the most evil atmospheres i've heard at St Mary's, pure unadulterated hatred everywhere round the ground. The minute they whistled and boo'd Bates minutes silence everything went up a notch and pre game the city itself just had an air of menace, and that was from us not them. Don't forget that night they'd been run down st mary's st from The Joiners and their talisman Eddie had had his wrist snapped, plus they were actually lucky they didn't go further and go into Zeb Bar because it would've ended a lot worse for them if they had. If we could have an atmosphere even half as evil as that night on sunday their players will wilt, because that was proper Southampton, a whole city out for their blood

Funny thing is when you look at all their myths they're always, ALWAYS, things they're actually guilty of themselves. The dock strike myth, the reality is it's them who are the scabs on multiple occasions (including riots on canute road when they brought in blacklegs from popmey to break the strike at southampton docks, and the cross channels ferries being moved to them in the 80's when they broke the strike then). Scummers being "scared", despite Potsdam, The Joiners, Lords, The Rose Bowl and Covent Garden and even the last cup game at Fratton when one scummer scattered all of the "welcoming committee". The dialect bollocks, yet it's southampton that has a song with mush in it that pre-dates them using it and benches in town with the word on it,, and their own university running a study that concluded there's no such thing as a pompey dialect. The attendance thing despite them having had lower average home attendances than us for almost a century, despite them not travelling well for decades, despite them having sub 10k attendances on multiple occasions. The we're more working class myth, despite their most famous fan being an antiquarian bookseller from Petersfield and their city being richer than ours. The "men went to war from pompey and not from scum" myth that ignores that the biggest place for the d-day landings on the south coast was Southampton. The idea they're sleeping giants when in the last 100 years they've barely been above us in the league, and barely been in the top division. They're insecure walter mittys who just need to be put in their place and reminded they are lying, insignificant cunts who's only contribution to this country is that anyone that's there is there to get out of the city. Fucking horrible little shits and the country would be better off if they a hard border around it and kept those cunts in their own island to inbred

Fucking myth making cunts, stupid thing is in doing that they're going to make everyone aware of the fact that we had higher attendance than them with us in league one and them in the prem. The walter mitty cunts really need to shutting the fuck up.

The one that is mentioned directly after the sentence "if the rumours are true" It was a full back who the club are excited about (now done as it was Mads) and two players on loan was what i was told, i don't know if the keeper from Norwich counts as one of the loans but assume he does. Knowing the person who told me very well, and knowing who they'd had a meeting with just before meeting me meant i had no reason to doubt it at all.

If the rumours are true he's already on his way out, loan with an option to buy to Bristol City apparently

If the club monitor this board then there's a simple message, you do NOT fucking lose this game, losing isn't even close to acceptable, if the players don't leave every fucking piece of themselves on the pitch, if they don't fight for every fucking thing, if they don't leave their boot in on every challenge, if they don't break those cunts, they shouldn't play again. This game isn't about football, and if you support saints because it's a football club it's not your game either, this game is about the city. Those horrible little lying, scabbing, insignificant cunts don't even deserve to be allowed in our city. Them, their piss stained sex pest of celebrity, the banjo headed cunt and every single thing associated to that city aren't welcome here and need to be taught their fucking place and sent back to the shithole they live in. Portesa Isand is the clagnut hanging off the arsehole of the UK, we'll steal their food, mock their inbred population who chase paediatricians out of their city because they think they're peados, we'll remind them that sotonians are just better than them and that they don't deserve to fucking exist. Limp wristed Eddie, dockers rotting corpse, the yokel cunt in the documentary talking about their "dialect", Dinenage, Morduant, and every single one of you pricks i hope you leave in tears. I dont give a fuck what else happens this season we have to beat them, it's a two game season, this is game one. Fuck the skates, fuck their myths, we're Southampton, we're better than you.

What i love is how they run around telling everyone they're double hard terrifying fans who everyone fears and respects. But the reality is they're inbred weirdos, who's most famous fan is an antiquarian bookseller with hygiene issues and they had a nonce corner with soft toys. Absolute fucking joke of a club and it's almost embarrassing we have that shit stain scabbing city so close to ours.

Think he got banned for being a sex pest in the women's toilets, no idea if he's allowed back in now. The bigger question is do they still have peado corner?

As if we've ever been successful enough to have principles 🤣 Jesus christ we're a club that's won ONE trophy in 140 years. ONE The only principles we should have are "do whatever the fuck it takes to break that god awful record". Absolutely everything else is just pure arrogance and should be ignored, "Principles" are why we just got relegated having almost broken the worst points total ever. We are not even close to good enough to have them. Win by cheating, win by hoofing it, win by boring teams to death, win however the fuck we can, just fucking win.

No a club should put winning and finishing as high as possible first, because that's all that matters.

The one thing with Puel that's always really annoyed me is people calling him boring. Some of his football away from home was absolutely incredible, if you think about games like Watford away, or Liverpool away in the league cup you couldn't accuse him of being boring. It was just that - pretty sensibly - he didn't want to lose home games, because he knew if you built a solid foundation of not losing at home you could take risks away from home when teams were more likely to attack. The problem is most of our support don't go away so didn't see that, and got annoyed at him doing something that was actually tactically pretty smart because they deemed it "boring"

Think he's looked really good so far but worried we'll over play him and need to manage his time intelligently, obviously the uncertainty around Fernandes and Dibling makes that hard but we've sen what happens when you overplay young players early in the season, and the championship is a bloody long season. Also someone needs to take our fans and force them to listen to Simon and Garfunkle or the Lemonhead's version of Mrs Robinson, because i've never heard a group of fans sing a song so badly out of time - almost double the speed - and to a completely different tune before. It's like they knew the words but none of them knew the song, so just sang the word to a completely different tune instead

Thing is people are talking about us being scrappy, or not creating but i think they're looking at the wrong thing. Downs looks like what he needs is a goal to start him off and then he'll fly. He's already been in good positions and missed a couple of sitters but he's been in the positions to miss them, which suggests to me when he finds his feet he'll score a fair few. The big question i have is creativity, if we lose Dibling (which we will) and lose Fernandes (which might happen) we don't really have anyone who can open up the sides parking the bus.

Last time we came down after the league cup game against Gillingham I said we'd end up in the play offs, i was proven right. That was based on the fact that we didn't seem to know how to win dirty and looked like a side with no cutting edge or idea how to force a result. This time round at the same stage i think we'll be top two and possibly win the league. That's based on the fact that we're playing badly but finding a way to win. Still seems to be pragmatic and understands the result is more important than the style. I'm also sure we'll come good soon and start looking far more dangerous. Ipswich is our first big test and they seem out of form at the moment, i think we have a great chance of getting something there and i'm a lot more confident than I was the last time we played them in the Championship. Which is all weirdly positive for me so obviously we'll lose 3-0 now

I've only ever bought tickets for myself that i go on (or mates who also go) so didn't realise that but that's good to know. Ah that makes sense good stuff as i have a mate waiting to qualify and doesn't till friday

Exactly my thinking too, the performance was sluggish but i wasn't hugely surprised as a combination of the weather and Northampton's "agricultural" football meant it was always going to be that sort of game I actually took a positive from it in that we look like a side that has worked out how to grind out results, i know we're not playing brilliantly right now but that gives me a lot of hope, under Martin (like Gillingham) when we weren't playing well we lost. Saying that our inability to create chances does worry me, we need to sort that soon because we'll become very easy to play against otherwise

Genuinely surprised how many Hull tickets had been sold when i logged in today, does make me wonder if people saw an opportunity to drop £4 on a junior ticket to get away numbers up with no intention of using it

They're already asking when he's going to leave 🤣 https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/at-what-point-will-they-realise-they-have-made-a-mistake.304807/ My favourite quote from there is "How long a contract did he get? He is that bad the players won't even need to down tools to shift him, they just need to follow his instructions." 🤣

Climbing walls, darts and shooting ranges, The Chapel Paramilitary training center is being built. Soon we will have the junior Saints better drilled than most armies and the legacy of fear of the DEF will be maintained for generations. The club will train them, then turf them out into the gulags ready to scale the walls and slaughter the away fans. WE MARCH ON (the enemy)!

Thought they were very noisy but you'd expect that from a side that are the heighest they'd been for two generations and on the back of multiple promotions Agree that the back of the chapel was decent, felt like the early days of the Itchen North, i just hope it doesn't become flooded by nippers on cheap gear wanting to gesture at the away fans, think it'll take some time to catch on too which isn't necessarily a bad thing. In terms of the Wrexham fans i definitely thought they were load but their songbook was pretty damn generic, like so many others it was the standard songs nicked from liverpool, songs about libraries and a weird version of the song we used to sing about ricky lambert that didn't seem to scan properly. Thought they were at their most impressive when they sung land of my fathers to be honest, that was really damn loud
