The dirty f.ucking skate ba.stards. Same as anyone who's actually from Southampton. Other than that there's a few that annoy me. Arsenal I dislike cause their fans are arrogant plastic ****s. Derby for the play offs. Cardiff for their fans. Reading cause they're an embarrassment of a football club. Oh and anyone that doesn't support their local team.

It's far more knowledgeable and grounded about football than this place. Plus people know how to take this **** and not get offended. Saying that its slow as **** so only worth check during the season

Of course we can't say for certain it won't but its highly, highly unlikely it'll ever happen in our lifetime and the same is true for 90% of clubs in football

I'd be incredibly surprised if we did given there's clubs like Forest, Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday (not to mention a slew of premier league sides) that'd be far cheaper to buy at the moment. So yeah that's not impossible, but highly improbable, so it's impossible without a wealthy owner which in itself is improbable. I can't be arsed to work out what that means but a statistician would more than likely call it a mathematical improbability.

But a serious amount of cash we don't have so it is impossible currently

Sadly I think Keegan is spot on. As has been said before when/If we start hovering round the European spots the bigger clubs will hover up our better players, who won't wait, and we'll have to build again. Until the same happens. Sad truth is without a billionaire with endless cash it just won't happen to the likes of us, Norwich, Swansea etc. Our only hope would be the league bottoming out and the billionaire owners leaving. And even then we'd be a long way behind the big clubs like united, city, arsenal, spurs, Chelsea, Everton, and even Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, derby and forest. Still no reason we can't enjoy what we have and dream of a cup run or European adventure

There really is only one derby for saints. Same as there's only one for Brighton, two for Bristol city (cardiff and rovers) and none for reading or bournemouth. The whole media spin on "derbies" ignores that most clubs only have one game they'd count as that. Anything else is a way to hype a game or sell papers.

Those look the icing from a particularly cheap cake

Brilliant someone who doesn't even live in this country tell people that we should accept expensive ticket prices because you paid them to see a team play abroad. You're a bit of a **** really aren't you.

Ah cheers mate, seems it's a one off print from the Our Culture lot in sweden and out of stock. That's fu.cking annoying! I'll hunt ebay and see what it digs up. You checked the blog associated to casual connoisseur, oneupmanship journal, some great pieces on there too though i think i'm getting an obssesion with Clarks desert boots at the moment.

An oldish but very good article here that has a lot of resonance with where we're heading as a club i think, http://thenaplesofthenorth.tumblr.com/post/25149996374/contre-le-football-moderne-for-those-who-read A choice quote, Also as an aside does anyone know where you can get that t-shirt, i think it's fuc.king class

I quite like the scum army chants, takes it back as an insult and winds the fish fu.ckers up even more. As for mlt... Jesus not only boring about a ****take but also wrong, it's completely about them being fish fu.ckers and it winds them up cause they called the matlows that! Mind you as many have pointed out I remember us calling them scummers in the 80s Oh and the dock strike - along with recent bin strike - happened in Southampton and there's union records on both to show the skates broke both.

This place needs to stop trying make up songs they're all ****ing terrible

That has to be a ****take done by either a skate or teenage girl

You do know when he was trolling the celtic forum with his insanities they pulled him up on the fact he didn't know why he wore the 67 shirt and that's why he knows?

Yeah cause there's no white polish immigration in southampton is there... And there's definitely not a large - now third genration at least - asian community here either.

The new bonobo album is worlds of excellent. If you like portishead or massive attack then you really should listen to it

It's nothing to do with trying to be something's he's not though. It's just that he's painfully dull, completely over the top (in an Iraqi information minister way) and just bickers constantly even when people are clearly taking the ****. Id even forgive his insane belief in everything the club said if he didnt have to jump down everyone's throat and not let people have a laugh. Honestly he's a real embarrassment to saints fans, I mean that Celtic forum thing doesn't just make me cringe it hands down makes our club a joke

Personally I think the worst thing to happen to this place, and possibly one of the most embarrassing for saints fans generally, is mlg. His weird compulsion to post the same thing everywhere over and over, his autism and lack of humour has turned it into petty bickering and a with or against attitude. Even everyone's bête noir of alpine has a sense of humour and can handle a **** take. Mlg just goes berserk with "facts" and bores the place so it's almost unreadable

Not sure if hants police would want it. Their fans have a bit of a love in with skates, and as well as their own rep some used to travel with skates and don't exactly like us

He's a skate cu.nt who we don't need. Good wind up thread mind

Then you started supporting them then. Don't see why that would change the fact it's prose in where you come from

Agree totally that the reason for supporting saints I'd cause you're from Southampton. It's about your roots, the friends you made in the city and on the terraces. And it's why I never want us to be a global "brand" who's support has nothing to do with Southampton

Le tis, case and niemi for me. Though shilts, dodd, Benali, monkou, Steve Williams, little Marian and hurlock would get the cult ones

MLG just displays all the classic signs of autism. So not a robot, just a mild disability
