Someone who backs the team or moans when the going gets tough?

...but had a proper go at this premier league thing. At the moment, I don't think we have.

always look on the bright side of life

Inverness purely because they have a long name

Imo yes unless we don't buy anyone in the transfer window.

I went to the game with an ex-portsmouth supporter who said he always wanted to support his local team but found the atmosphere down at fratton park too aggressive and the football was horrible. He said it's been a while since he's actually enjoyed a game of football and Sunday was that time when he has. It just put it into perspective for me that, even though we're second from last, some of the football being played on Sunday was premier league standard. I wonder whether any posters on here have forgotten that? And before you say that there should be discussion and people can have there own views, I'm just fed up of saints web becomming a place of doom and gloom. COYR

stop moaning

I think it's naive to think that the goals we let in weren't easily defendable tbh. Someone should have been on Bale for the first goal and the second goal was just our defence asleep. We can take a lot from the game but we have to move on and stop complaining when someone analyses us fairly.

Got the ticket yesterday. Clocked at 35mph. Looks like an evening being lectured at on the dangers of speed. Ho hum. Are there any other speed cameras in Southampton that are still on?

Nowadays, it's just wrist-slashers and people linking articles that claim Adkins is going to be fired or the price of pies is going up to £10. Just saying.

Got flashed by the speed camera in A33 Kingsway late yesterday afternoon. Just before you get to Hoglands park. I was doing around 35-36 mph. Any ideas if the police are still sending out penalty notices? I thought that they were all switched off now - but clearly not.

What I don't get is why we spent all that money on midfield and strikers, and the defence seemed to be an afterthought. We all knew that it wasn't up to it. I don't think that NA is nieve enought to think that they would cope. Either the deals just didn't come off or NC had different priorities. Problem is, the way the club is run now we aren't likely to find out as it doesn't seem to leak information as it once did.

Just trying to cheer this place up a bit...

how can anyone hate benali? if i was a woman i would definately have him as my guilty pleasure

really don't see the need to change the kit every year. it used to be every three which, imo, was sensible

I've got (and enjoyed very much) a book called Southampton Cult Heroes which is about Saints players who have gained "cult" status. Who would you put on your list? I think i'd go with: 1. Franny 2. MLT 3. Moran

I thought Millenium stadium in Cardiff was excellentin 2003. Right in the city centre, next to all the bars,hotels. Station nearby and a park. Wembley in 2010 was soulless by comparison. I would much rather SMS be where it is than stuck on the edge of the city. Once the gravel plant moves and the site is free for redevelopment the whole area will improve. It will happen eventually.

Do you ever see footage of a game and get goosebumps about it? For me camera vs Norwich. Everytime I see it, it just reminds me of the moment.

The 1-1 draw in 02/03 was a fantastic game. Two teams having a real go at each other. No idea how it ended up with only two goals. Seem to remember CMG missing a header to win it late on. Games against Newcastle around that time always seem to have been good games. One of those rare occasions when not winning didn't seem to matter so much.

Channon goal vs Liverpool in 82. No contest. I was in the Archers end that day as the Milton was sold out. Lost the game 3-2 against a very good Liverpool side. I seem to remember that it was a cracking game and Liverpool caught us on the break near the end when we were pressing for a winner.

now it's not like i like to be smug or anything but i am being

i only started this thread as a tad of breathing space for those who don't like to hear that our club is the ****test it's ever been. yes we're a the bottom of the league but it's unbelieveable how quickly people expected us to fit in the PL. I agree with alpine on this. Say we do go down, if we have the structure and players to ensure that we're improving then where is the problem? We're go down and then bounce up again with the parachute payments and so forth. Just because we've had 3 seasons of bollocking the opposition, people seem to think that there is no reason why this season won't be as easy. Rant over.

Yes so we're bottom of the premier league with 0 points after 4 games. We're in the premier league. We're watching one of the best leagues in the world (if not the best) and have a reasonable chance of staying up (after 38 games). What happened to "in Adkins we trust?"
