Singing "The Saints are going up" in September.

I mean, really? Really!?

 

Yes, we are doing bloody brilliantly right now but please, that was a little embarrasing. Singing "We are top of the league" however, go for it guys! At least that's provable. ;)

 

What a wonderful time to be a fan of this club!

 

If you're going to stick to songs that are 100% accurate there's not going to be too much left to sing!

 

You can get rid "we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen". And my dad doesn't own any firearms, so "get your father's gun" is out.

Give over, what do you pay your money for if not to enjoy yourself?

 

That's fair enough, but if I heard another club sing that in September, regardless of league position I would think they are being a bit f**king stupid! Talk about tempting fate!

That is embarrassing. I'll bet a HUGE sum of money that Saints don't go up this season. To be honest the Premiership is a pretty **** place to be these days. It's become a joke!

 

Totally agree - in fact, I actually have no real desire to be in the Premier league. It is probably one of the most unconmpetitive leagues going these days. Think SPL and the EPL is quickly going the same way - a boring pointless 2 horse race. At least in this league there are probably 10 - 12 teams who have serious expectations of achievement.

 

Manchester Utd will win the Premiership, Manchester City will push them - the rest will be also rans.

Not against anybody enjoying themselves - but it's very arrogant to assume that we will finish where we currently are. This is exactly the kind of thing that opposing fans will pick up on. If we heard Brighton fans doing likewise we would probably be the first to give them some serious stick.

I always refuse to sing this line. It is utterly farcical.

 

Better than Brazil of 1970 with Pele and Jarzinho for example? Better than Cruyff's Holland? Better than the Busby Babes? Better than the current Barca?

 

It's a ludicrous suggestion and one which I simply will not sing.

My late father never encouraged me to cheer on the DFCSB's either. :lol:

I can assure you no-one is assuming that. I sang it, and I did so purely because i've never really been able to at this level, not because i'm sure it's going to happen.

Whatever floats your boat I guess - but as I said - it will come across as totally arrogant to opposing supporters and I can understand why. As I said, if it was Pompey or Brighton (or any other club actually for that matter) doing it we would be the first to start handing out the stick.

 

But whatever, each to their own - when we've got 6 games left to play and are 10 points clear, I'll consider joining in with this one.

I can see your point but I'd prefer to hear us singing that in the Championship (where we weren't expected to do anything) to League One (where we were the so-called big team big scalp) as it doesn't seem so cocky. Maybe we can sing an ironic "we are staying up" to humour Dalek's prediction of 17th and bring back those good old days of "struggling Southampton" and our last day escapes :-)

It's not just the top two. It's like three leagues in one. You can pretty much pick the Top 5 on the first day of the season. Then you've got a mini league of six or seven teams trying for a Europen spot. Finally the bottom eight or nine. You'll know one of the relegated teams by Christmas and then you'll have the excitement of the last day of the season where any two from a possible seven clubs could go down. It's riveting stuff!

 

Let the top four **** off and have their silly european league. At least it might give some other teams a chance. The way things are it's always going to have the same outcome, unless a foreign investor comes in with Billions and allows your team to buy success, which really isn't what it's all about.

The Saints are gonna finish in the top 17, The Saints are gonna finish in the top 17, and now you're gonna believe us, and now you're gonna believe us, and now you're gonna believe uuuusssss, The Saints are gonna finish in the top 17.

 

...probably. :D

I remember signing We Are Top of the League at Derby when we were 2 up at Derby first game of the season in the prem a few years ago. We ended up drawing 2 each. Its all of a bit of a laugh, and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

 

The one I hate is when every one goes 'Whooo?' when the opposition bring on a sub, only for him to bang it in the net after about 5 minutes of being on field.

i gave my 2 sons (23 and 16) stick for singing it yesterday.

But they said to me "its alright for you Dad you were lucky to support the club from 63 to now, and saw them get promoted, win cups, get to finals and other semi finals so stop being an old g*t and let us youngsters enjoy our time"

Let's sing and have fun! I don't believe in jinxes and why shouldn't we sing celebratory victory songs like - We are the champions, we're gonna win the league etc. As another poster said, when was the last time we could... and another thing- this season records are being broken, the Boss won't settle for anything less than victories... so enjoy, learn the words and let's sing our way to the Premier league!
