Football Special

Brighton away was probably our best performance so far this season, should have won that having scored a perfectly good winner.

Is Taylor a disruptive influence?

Anyone else forgotten he plays for us?

I think that's very much true, nice discussion here by Brighton fans regarding sitting in the home end https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/southampton-away-a-view-from-the-home-end.412108/

It's something I've noticed, he clearly held a lot of influence within the squad, going to take a while to change the culture, Ramsdale basically saying he signed for Martin

When they run those special services they had no intention of it arriving on time, always the same delay until the game starts

Yeah they are incredibly needy, it's a psychological condition driven by an inferiority complex, when they bang on about being a "bigger" club than us I just say let's go on realistic living memory, start in 1966 and tell me how many years since then have they finished above us or had a higher average attendance. We are higher in both for 95% of the last 60 years. I remember the Petersfield bookshop chap saying he goes to all the England games but doesn't celebrate if a scummer scores, makes moments like Lambert, Harwood-Bellis etc scoring all the more enjoyable , small wins and all that

The earlier train got the full reception, very very slow walk with all sorts of missiles flying into the escort, check out the Copa 90 video , fast forward to nearer the end and has some footage of it ,get an idea on this as well

Play off final at Wembley, 90,000 in attendance all on a bubble trip 😂

Watford away in the quarter finals of the FA Youth Cup unfortunately the same night as Chelsea away , anyone local not doing the first team game might fancy this as an alternative https://www.watfordfc.com/news/2025/february/17/fa-youth-cup-date-confirmed-for-quarter-final/

Thought he got injured at Ipswich?

Yes, offer received from Roma

I think it will be a bubble, they did it for Sunderland v Newcastle and still do it for south Wales derby, Swansea even made fans have ID to match ticket purchase when handing over ticket.

League cup 2019 was optional, think they encouraged fans to get the coach but myself and plenty others got the train, nice walk to the stadium making friends along the way This was a good episode of Copa90 for that game

Yeah annoys me, also hate hearing "you're nothing special we lose every week" and "how shit must you be it's only 1-0" I know it's gallows humour trying to laugh at the awfulness of it , but it add to the spiral of negativity at the ground Enjoyed the 10 min spell when we actually started to go for it and crowd really got behind them

Yep very disappointing to see that

Spurs fans also protesting about the board, maybe they could replace Levy with Ankerson?

Sport Republic Out useless cunts

Talking to a 🍒 after the game, his words "I thought you'd make if harder for us , first half did any of your players know what they should be doing ' Damning indictment, none of them had a fucking clue

Just be reading about that, interesting to compare the two clubs approach to it

It's the harsh truth, needs to be shown to the marketing department when they are preparing for season ticket renewals

Chris Sutton loves to stick the boot in doesn't he

So as a manager he's beaten two premier league teams this season? That's more than Russell Martin or Ivan have managed 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is he refusing to play?
