I went on a course yesterday and eventually the subject got around to football, everyone in the room was asked who they supported, answers came Spurs, Sunderland, Everton, and then I said Southampton and eveybody looked at me...instead of bursting out laughing which is what I was expecting, their faces dropped and they were very sympathetic to our plight.....I then realised that we are now viewed as a club to be pittyied rather than a club that you expect to have some banter about with other supporters.
The blame is really only at one mans door, and that is Lowe.... a complete idiot.
