Who are FC Southampton?
President Carlos promised us a prestigious opponent for this match. Many were expecting a Liverpool, Arsenal or Milan, instead we have... FC Southampton of Southampton. Here is the scenes at ticket office on announcement of this fixture:
We last played Southampton in 1984. No-one can remember the result. Since then they have mostly been playing in the third tier of English football. It's not all bad though, two years ago they secured a 2-2 draw against European giants and FA Cup Champions, Real Portsmouth of Portsmouth.
They also once won the Johnstones Painting Trophy, which is the English football equivalent of Special School Egg & Spoon, i,e. you don't have to be good, you just have to be "least handicapped".
Star Men
Veteran winger Manuel Le Tissier is lethal from the penalty spot.
Brazilian Striker Guido Pedro brings flair and goals to the attack.
Left back Dante Fox is Hilarious.
Where do they play?
FC Southamton of Southampton, play in Southampton which is a picturesque suburb of London, known for its derelict town centre and lively chav culture. Here is pictures of Southampton:
Fortunately, we are playing at home!
What colours do they play in?
Red. Sometimes white. They used to rock stripes but in recent years due to coastal geograhy and rising sea levels they have adopted white armbands, which in the event of flood tides can be inflated for life preservation.
Match Predictions
It would be a major shock if we do not despatch these hoofing minnows with minimum effort. FC Southampton coach Nicola Cortese does have tricks up his sleeve though, if the game is going badly he will despatch wing wizard Jose Puncheon to, quite literally, shit on the pitch.
We'd of won if we kept the A-Team out. Srsly. I go out now, thanks for ur company!
