  1. Says he who keeps on persisting with the classic 'little Englander' jibe.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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!
  9. Yes the atmosphere was awful until the last couple of minutes. Our support really is crap.
  10. 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!
  11. 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.
  12. 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!
  13. 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.
  14. Please let this be true, would be big lols!
  15. Merry Christmas to all my fellow Saints fans from, erm...Southampton. Which last time I checked was not in Shropshire.
  16. He's not nearly as bad as some on here like to make out. I'd take him if the price was right.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. It's one of the many things that depresses me about English football fans. Of course a few people will have genuine reasons for leaving early but the sheer amount of people who do is just pathetic. If you really can't be arsed to stay and support the team for the full match then why bother coming at all? It disturbs everyone who is still trying to watch the game, and it absolutely kills any atmosphere at the time in the game when the team will often need it most. 30,000 roaring the side on or half the ground emptying in apathetic silence? It has to have an effect on the players. Well done Klopp for calling out the Scouse fans.
  20. Good professional performance. Only four goals conceded and unbeaten away from home. Virgil was a rock again, what a signing.
  21. Personally I'm delighted with the draw as it's exactly what I was hoping for. I'm not a big fan of the League Cup but this has got me right up for it, a QF at home to the dirty scousers, defectors and all, under the floodlights, hopefully get a good atmosphere at SMS for a change, bring it on! We have a good chance of winning.
  22. So Saints then. It's hardly surprising the atmosphere at SMS these days is so awful seeing as everyone is seemingly too embarrassed to sing anything that gets suggested, or make some bloody noise. Sadly can't see it changing any time soon.
  23. Very sad for Luke, hope he makes a speedy recovery.
  24. That was fantastic. Some great memories, what an absolutely top bloke Nigel is, would love to see him back at Saints one day. Well done the media team.
