UEFA are C U N T S for the ridiculous head to head rule. We are 2nd by rights. Filthy f uc kin g c u nts

I reckon the skates could give this lot a test.

We sold Bale in the summer of 2007 and last 2 more seasons in the Championship. Our total spell in the championship was 4 years : 2005 to 2009. Then 2009 to 2011 in League 1, one season back in the Championship (2011 to 2012) and the Prem since 2012

Does anyone know when they will be unveiling the new shirt? I always hate the way we have to wait until the end of July to get our hands on it, especially as its in the summer you would get the more use of it.

I didnt realise that if Palace win the cup we have to play two rounds of matches to get to the group = 4 games. I thought there was only one round to play. Will make a massive difference for us.

I rarely complain about anything going on at the club nowadays simply because of where we were. I'm happy just to be a top half prem team.

Exactly. SRL cost us £1m, we sold him for £4m and we probably paid him around £3m for his services in his time with us. His goals played a major part in getting us from L1 to the Prem and then keeping us in the Prem.

I reckon Stephen Hawkins could do a better job at football commentary than Motto. At least he gets his facts straight.

Who cares. Xmas is before this game.

Sh1test game Ive been at for a long time. Not going to a game until they started playing.

Got mine. There was plenty available.

Yes I still have it.

Matt Oakley's sunglasses business has come on in leaps and bounds.

Home and away sections sold out. Love the way they reduce the prices for cup games. Not only cheap but a quality atmosphere.

I have one spare. My mate's pulled out with man flu.

Hardly. 2001 to 2004 was a good era.

Anyone see how poor VVD was for Holland last night, particularly the 2nd goal.

Win at Man Utd coz I hate them more.

I remember being one of the dog mascots and he shook my hand whereas the other players did not.

Amazing to think we had the same kit for 5 years (80 to 85). Annoying it changes now every year. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Southampton/Southampton.htm

That might be the year I went to Ayia Napa which was 2000. He was there with Beattie, Kachloul, Dean Richards (RIP) and Gary Monk. I had no idea who Gary Monk was as he wasnt a regular and tended to ignore him.

Here are some vids from my seat. When we made in 1-0, a big bunch of them got very upset with a handful of Saints fans and tried to get over and kick off. I think some of our fans were antagonizing them though.

Mcloughlin it definitely was in the 89/90 season. Mcloughlin had played against the Saints earlier that season in a 4th round tie in the Rumbelows cup. Saints trailed 2 nil at half time in that game but Horne it was who got one back at the beginning of the 2nd half. Paul Rideout netted our equaliser 5 mins from the end and Le Tissier took over in extra time. Saints lost out in the next round to the cheating plastic pitchians Oldham Athletic and many years later McLoughlin dropped down a division to play for the Skates.

Just been on the ticketing website to get tickets for the home game. Anyone else having problems? If I click on this game, it goes nowhere.

We'll have a hell of a lot of players not getting games. Discuss.
