  1. quite happy that we get ignored a bit and underestimated
  2. Not forgetting West Ham will have the advantage of a large shiny new stadium without the debt. So where even the likes of Arsenal suffered from having to pay out millions (Spurs will as well) West ham will start to benefit from extra revenue virtually straight away. All though they have discounted 1000's of tickets to ensure it sells out, and this obviously reduces the additional income. It would be good to hear if there are any development plans afoot. But I'm sure the club has said previously we will need to achieve sell out crowds for a number of seasons. I still think the above images look great.
  3. go back and read previous comments!!!
  4. Quite correct. The thuggery around football at the time was incredible. I remember going away on 'football specials' and thugs walking up and down the train looking blokes that could handle themselves telling them where the after match fight was going to be. And this was Saints who hardly had the reputation for trouble unlike the skates, Chelsea, etc had. Too easy just to blame the authorities for what happened. Deserved blame to the authorities for the following cover up.
  5. It seems a lot of mistakes where made that day but was today's decision made against today's standards or those of the times. The point I make is there was relentless trouble at football matches at the time and I'm sure it clouded the decision making of those in control. Think back to the Heysel disaster, which only took place 4 years earlier, rampaging Liverpool fans ending in 39 deaths and 600 injured. Did this and week after week of trouble at football all contribute to the wrong decision being made. Faced with massing crowds at Hillsborough did the police/authorities panic to get the fans off the streets to try and prevent possible trouble that was rife at the time in English football and resulted in wrong decisions being made?!? The crime that needs prosecution: is the lies and criminal actions of the police and other of authorities that lied and tried to cover up the mistakes by blaming solely the fans. Unfortunately, the pessimist in thinks that all that will happen next is financial claims for compensation being made against the police. The greatest sympathy to the families...but time to let those that died RIP

  7. 'hit me on the bottom with a Woman's Weekly' RIP. I still laugh at reruns of Dinner Ladies.
  8. Yes a nice touch....shame they go my name wrong. Used my surname as my Christian name and then spelt it wrong....although I appreciate the sentiment.
  9. Maybe he has found his level in the championship

  11. any other streams? vipbox keeps stopping
  12. Try living in London. Spuds have been crawling out the woodwork all season. going on about Saints being their feeder club for manager's, coaching and players.....although they all fail to name 4 players that have gone from Saints to Spuds in the last 20 years, because there isn't. They get very upset when our player's leave for big clubs.....and ermmm that's not spuds, even though they are bigger than saints. What is even worse even Palace fans are getting on the band wagon....out last night with a couple of them and they going on about how Palace are going to be the next big club and they are going to break into the top 4 in coming seasons!!!!! What the **** they are only in their 3rd season in the premier and it's the first time they have lasted more than 1 season and now they are going to win the ****ing thing.
  13. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20151124-tickets-west-ham-united-norwich-city-southampton-2816315.aspx Well done Saints. Surprised this news is 16hrs old and no one has commented.
  14. To celebrate they beat 10 men!!!! Shame they couldn't do it when all things are equal....well nothing new there.
  15. Surely Ian Holloway should be banded for Sky Sports as he dares criticise the magnificatist bestist fans in the world for booing.........how dare he do it on national TV.
  16. Doh!!! never thought of that.
  17. As a mark of respect for this young lad and others, can this pathetic thread now be closed down.
  18. A very few bompey fans trying to big up the rivalry. Saints fans just stood watching them mouth it off and telling them we don't care about them.
  19. Not to say anything about the 5 yellows we picked up today compared with their two. How did we ever deserve 5 yellows in that game!?
  20. How? just takes me to a Wordpress login page. I don't have a Wordpress account.
  21. Unfortunately I know loads of Spurs fans. Virtually every single one of them goes on about how they are going to raid Saints as usual taking our best players (acting as if we are their feeder club).........Why do they think this? Every time I respond and say 'name me two plays that Spurs have signed from us if we are such a supplier of players to them'. And virtually every time they say Bale and ermmmmm, hesitate, hesitate a bit longer oh year Dean Richards (god rest his soul)......for **** sake that was 14 years ago. Spurs fans are in lots of ways almost as delusional as pompey fans.
  22. Are they booing yet?
