kpturner Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 (edited) Enjoyed a fantastic day at Plymouth today to back up great days at Brentford and Brighton (and a not so great evening at Rochdale). However, at the considerable risk of getting a serious flaming, I have to say that the chants that our fans come out with are cringe worthy in the extreme. "We are Southampton, we do what we want" ?!! What a pile of embarrassingly arrogant sh1te that it. The "we don't care about you" version is bad enough, but at least it had a bit of relevance at Bournemouth and Brighton. "He's back from the dead...." FFS! At least Connolly showed enough displeasure at that chant today to hopefully seal its fate. "Plymouth's going down with no money in the bank"....real classy that it is. Short memories or what? ...and the Cortese one about coming from Italy and hating Pompey......please and to the younger element walking around the outside of the stadium chanting "going down" before the game - not good chaps, not good. Anyway, rant over - back to my celebrations Edited 2 May, 2011 by kpturner I was told off for suggesting that some of our fans needed to be taught a lesson in humility :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceandfriendly Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Yes, what a real shame some of our own fans didn't get a good kicking. Are you for real? For what it's worth I agree about the "do what we want" chant. Other than that, strange post when we've just all but clinched promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Agreed, our fans could have showed Plymouth a bit more decorum, they might not have a club to support come the start of next season. We were in a similar position not too long ago... I also hate the "we do what we want" and "we don't care about you" chants, the first one caught on when Chaplow scored against Man Utd in the cup (their fans had sung it to us over and over, then we sang it back to them very vociferously when we went 1-0 up), and the second was brought in for the Bompey game and it's just stuck.

No wonder people think we're arrogant - but I should imagine a lot of our fans were pretty p!ssed up today! I dont hate that, we are the Man Utd of this league, that may sound arrogant but it's true. The "we dont care about you" was apt, it was Bournemouth, they hate us, we dont care about them, it's totally correct. The chants i hate are the Cortese song, embarassing, which other clubs sings songs about its chairman? Red and White Barmy army, we are not a cricket crowd and the worst one of all is the David Connolly, he's back from the dead chant. Cringeworthy, even he hates it as he showed during the game today, hopefully that'll be the last we hear of that. I've been critical of our fans in the past but the last couple of months apart from the odd embarassing moment or support home and away has been nothing short of excellent. Orient and today was some of the best away support i've experience in 25 odd years of following Saints, our away support is better now than ever. I remember us regularly only every taking 1,500 or so to Tottenham and less than 1,000 to MIdlands grounds, we get much more than that in league one. And i dont really see what the problem people have with clubs thinking we are arrogant, we are the biggest club in this division, over the second half of the season we've played the best football and been the best team , we have fantastic players that other clubs in this league can only dream off, the best stadium and the biggest fan base, we have a lot to be arrogant about. Arrogance is only a bad thing if it's unjustifed. Edited 2 May, 2011 by Turkish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landford.saint Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Had a word at half time with the Inspector in charge at our end yesterday. He said that (as we all could see) that those who ran on the pitch when we scored were Saints fans in the 'home' end who were "running for their lives". Also said that they regularily get trouble at Plymouth, much more so than Exeter and Torquay. I lived in Devon for about 15 years and can testify that Plymouth is a grotty place. Must be the Naval port syndrome, but the attitude of certain sections of the population is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landford.saint Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Agree with singing about Chairman is weird. BUT. Our existence is because in our hour of need he introduced our club to a kindly billionaire. He has made mistakes as chairman yes, but those who have met him agree he is a nice guy who genuinely wants success for this club. AND due to his background on banking will ensure we do it on a firm financial footing. In the 2 years of his chairmanship SFC has won the JPT and promotion. Not a bad first 2 years in football.

I was happy enough with getting promoted* that I didn't feel the need to gloat at Plymouth about getting relegated, or being skint, I didn't want to sing utterly cringeworthy songs about our chairman, who I think has made a few dubious decisions, and I was amused at Connolly conducting the fans to sing what he wanted. And as for that pathetic rendition of "we do what we want", yeah, well done, now you look like 3rd rate Man Utd wannabes - ultra lower league and basically the empty song of an ignored kid that's desperate for any kind of attention - which pretty much sums up most of the mongs singing it. I also didn't want to run on the pitch for no apparent reason other than "you're not supposed to", and I was absolutely delighted that the policing allowed those of us who just wanted to enjoy it and see the players' celebrations the time to do that, without a bunch of mongtards swarming the pitch and forcing the players down the tunnel. We were hanging around in the car park celebrating for ages afterwards too, the policing wouldn't have allowed for that if it had all kicked off. Still, despite all that, and spending the last 25 minutes getting shoved up and down the seats thanks to some particularly thick-looking people desperate to stand in the aisles having all piled to the front (again for no particular reason other than not knowing how to behave), I had a bloody great time singing my guts out and generally celebrating the arse out of the day.

Sour Mash Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Right, lets get a few things straight about yesterday. Yes, we do sing some fairly embarrassing, rubbish, unoriginal songs, there is a fair bit of room for improvement there. But there was very little bad behaviour from saints fans yesterday. A few bits of over-the-top, boisterous celebrating by a few, but nothing particularly harmful at all. There is no club in the world that upon sealing promotion, while being the best supported club in the league, not come across as a bit arrogant. Now on the the Plymouth fans - it seems like a large percentage of them couldn't resist clambering over their fellow fans to put the boot in and spit on lone Saints fan who were celebrating in their end. Not saying for one minute it was right that Saints fans were in there and that they should be allowed to celebrate in front of Plymouth fans, but the Plymouth fans were the classic bullying cowards with loads of them jumping in on one bloke. Then after the game as we were coming out of the ground in the escort a young girl was hit on the head by a rock thrown by a Plymouth fan in the park to our right. With both of these incidents, what did the police do? They were more interested in filming Saints fans celebrating than doing anything about these Plymouth supporters, typical of modern day policing at games.

They were more interested in filming Saints fans celebrating than doing anything about these Plymouth supporters, typical of modern day policing at games. I didn't even think we were arrogant yesterday, except the "we do what we want" chant. The "going down" stuff just made us look like a bunch of idiots who didn't know the difference between celebrating our success and gloating at their failure... as others have said, "short memories". And the ONLY reason there was "very little bad behaviour" was all the thugs who usually try their best to drag our name through the mud suddenly realised that they didn't want to start a fight with the 3 lines of police and dogs standing in front of them when it was "on the pitch" time, and instead managed to only aggravate all the celebrating fans around them with their selfish cramming up of the aisles and front areas (I'm particularly thinking of blocking the views of the wheelchair fans at the front). Can't fault the policing there, and nor am I sure how they're supposed to identify a random rock-chucker in a park. If you think I'm going to condone Plymouth fans laying into people in the "wrong end" you're wrong, and I wouldn't be impressed with Saints fans doing the same if the roles were reversed, either.

Raven on the wing Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Is there anybody like me who think all the people on here who post to say that fans should sing only certain songs have little understanding of the game and the passion that is very much part of it. Without the mix of people and bad language etc it becomes a very sterile spectacle, and would lose a lot of its appeal to fans who travel large distances to follow their team. Wembley in the JPT final was a carnival, a great day out. But for real passion give me a derby game against the our Hampshire rivals and that is what really makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Singing from a selected "Hymn sheet" is not it I'm afraid. Spontaneity brings humour, good chants and bad and damn good days out like yesterday at Plymouth. Without the hard core at the Northam the other 3 corners of the ground sitting on their hands until we score, will not get you promoted or get people coming back for more.
