  1. 1. Man City at home, convincing win that gave belief we could still get Europe. 2. VVD 3. Cuco Martina 4. The ref nicking Sadio's hattrick ball after the City game! 5. Everton in the first home game, we were shocking. Just shows you can't read too much into early season games. 6. Cuco v Arsenal 7. Pelle away to Chelsea 8. Can't think of one 9. I predicted 9th pre season 10. Mane's winner vs Liverpool, mental scenes
  2. Your first sentence was all that was needed. There is an impact, and even younger people still need to use the NHS and other services, although I would argue the main impact is on housing,which is already under severe pressure even before taking the immigration issue into consideration. Several hundred thousand people coming in every year, have to live somewhere, when local people are already struggling to afford a home.
  3. So you don't think that hundreds of thousands of people entering the country every single year has any impact on services?
  4. Absolutely agree with this, I'm sick of hearing about the political 'personalities' on both sides. Who supports what side should be completely irrelevant. My feelings on the economy are that we may well suffer a bit in the short term, but long term would recover and be fine. Likewise immigration is the biggest issue for me and it's imperative that we regain some kind of control over the people and numbers we let in. This is likely our last chance to do so. We are already the second most densely populated country in Europe and even without mass immigration the demand for housing far outweighs supply. As long as the EU insists on freedom of movement there's no way I could ever vote remain.
  5. Wow that is absolutely fantastic news, well done Saints!
  6. Not that I believe this will happen even for a split second, but I honestly wouldn't want him here. Apart from the fact I think he is a little overrated, he would be poisonous to team harmony and cost an insane amount of money, even if it was just for a year. His ego wouldn't fit inside SMS. I'd much rather we built a team of younger dynamic players who have more hunger and are only likely to improve.
  7. Says he who keeps on persisting with the classic 'little Englander' jibe.
  8. Perhaps, and if the EU was just about a trade deal then I don't think many people would have a problem with it, but it's not is it. The basic facts are that for as long as we are a member of the EU, there are many aspects of our own policy making and laws that we simply have no control over, and that is unacceptable to a lot of people.
  9. Here you go http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20160418-vote-southampton-fans-player-of-the-season-2015-16-3066366.aspx 1. VVD 2. Long No one else even close imo.
  10. Aside from MLG, Marian is my favourite ever Saints player, so many good memories from his time here and similarly to Le Tiss, we would have been relegated earlier had it not been for some of his goals. A good read, thanks.
  11. This. I'm not the biggest fan of drums/clackers etc but was at Leicester last season and the place was absolutely rocking, nothing like SMS of late. The whole stadium was contributing and they had a good range of songs too. I don't believe our fans are less passionate as on occasions we have an excellent atmosphere but it is getting worse and worse and regardless of what's happening on the pitch it does spoil the enjoyment for me. There are clearly plenty who want to create atmosphere but the will needs to be there to actually organise something, as other clubs have done, otherwise it will continue to get worse. Likewise I'm in Kingsland North which used to be good, but would go wherever the atmosphere was, don't care if it's near away fans or not.
  12. As a 32 year old I guess I'm still classed as the younger generation and am voting leave. Seems to me a lot of the older voters are voting remain.
  13. Shock horror, I am English so yes of course for me it is Eexit. I don't support the union and couldn't give a toss what Scotland, Wales and NI do after the vote.
  14. The acoustics must be really bad at SMS, I'm in Kingsland North and thought the atmosphere was dreadful, also didn't hear a peep from the Chapel. The lack of atmosphere at games is really denting my enjoyment of watching Saints lately. The last couple of minutes were good though!
  15. Yes the atmosphere was awful until the last couple of minutes. Our support really is crap.
  16. Today highlighted perfectly why imo we need to make signing a new no.10 in the summer a priority. Davis in particular was shocking today but the midfield as a whole was so slow and ponderous, with no drive or creativity. Yet at the same time they offered little protection for the defense. I've been very critical of Big Vic this season but he had probably his best 45 minutes in a Saints shirt when he came on, and tbh I think he owed us that. Very strange game but one that will live long in the memory, the celebrations for the third goal were epic, the grazed shins well worth it!
  17. VVD is unbelievable in the air has he ever lost a header?! Excellent away win, disgusting decision to send off Mane but these mistakes don't even come as a surprise any more.
  18. Well I was at the game and thought Pelle was one of our better players, not that that's saying much. Generally held the ball up pretty well and brought others into play but never looked like scoring himself. Romeu and Bertrand were decent too, VVD motm, the rest meh. Awful ref again, looked like Fonte got the ball to me but will have to see a replay, but apart from that he made so many poor decisions it was almost comical. Shame that yet again the season seems to be fizzling out. We seriously need to work on our attacking midfield options in the summer, it's all far too slow and ponderous. Need someone with a bit of drive who can carry the ball forward. AOC or Wijnaldum would be nice!
  19. Yeah annoys the hell out of me, every time I watch a PL game now it seems like OWTS is being sung. Just comes across as a bit tinpot imo.
  20. Please let this be true, would be big lols!
  21. Merry Christmas to all my fellow Saints fans from, erm...Southampton. Which last time I checked was not in Shropshire.
  22. He's not nearly as bad as some on here like to make out. I'd take him if the price was right.
  23. Enjoyed making a bit of noise in the last 15 minutes once all the part timers had buggered off, was more like the atmospheres we got in L1 again. Would much rather have 20,000 in the stadium creating an atmosphere than 30,000 cardboard cutouts and less noise than a library.
  24. The atmosphere at St Marys these days is pretty depressing, it' getting to the point where I don't even want to go anymore as being part of a lively atmosphere is half the fun for me. It's gradually got worse and worse over the last couple of years, sadly fan culture not just at Saints but generally in English football has all but disappeared. Where I am in Kingsland North used to be really good, but a lot of the time I'm the only one singing now. Something needs to be done but I don't know what.
