Football Special

A combination of tactics and lack of effort / running from our players today, we are so so so easy to play against, as professionals they should be so embarrassed

Just two points needed to equal the record, I don't think we'll do it either

So many of our fans are fucking wallies as well, getting all giddy cheering on ABK, a player who hasn't put any fucking effort and doesn't want to be here, compared to the ironic jeering of Smallbone last week. What a mess the whole club is.

Tactics are still fucking stupid like they were under Martin. Get the basics right.

He's looks absolutely fucking clueless. Three fucking miserable weekends in a row at St Mary's

Is this the first home game not to make it to ticket exchange this season? Still 84 tickets available, might shift a few more before kick off, I'm sure plenty more empty seats with season tickets not being used

Leicester fans feeling it more than us now I think, we're long gone, resigned to our fate, Leicester on the other hand knew a win tonight would lift them out of the bottom 3 and yet they never even got close to Brentford

If we win you'll have to name the nipper Ivan

In seasons like this I find it helps to do some reminiscing , talking about it last weekend after the game having listened to Bournemouth fans singing about going on a European tour, will be nice to get another before I'm too old for it

Does he take on responsibility left by one of Russell Martin's team?

We've been lucky in some ways, to have experienced trips like that , amazing, they need to be bring back the Anglo-Italian Cup for the Championship and let us have a go at that

I'm fairly certain that isn't him

Let's hope so , I remember last season he got abuse on social media that was out of order, think next game was Birmingham City away and he got a great response from our travelling fans

There's actually a decent number of Italian Saints and a few who come over for games , can see their impressive flag here when we played at the San Siro

Brighton away was probably our best performance so far this season, should have won that having scored a perfectly good winner.

Is Taylor a disruptive influence?

Anyone else forgotten he plays for us?

I think that's very much true, nice discussion here by Brighton fans regarding sitting in the home end https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/southampton-away-a-view-from-the-home-end.412108/

It's something I've noticed, he clearly held a lot of influence within the squad, going to take a while to change the culture, Ramsdale basically saying he signed for Martin

When they run those special services they had no intention of it arriving on time, always the same delay until the game starts

Yeah they are incredibly needy, it's a psychological condition driven by an inferiority complex, when they bang on about being a "bigger" club than us I just say let's go on realistic living memory, start in 1966 and tell me how many years since then have they finished above us or had a higher average attendance. We are higher in both for 95% of the last 60 years. I remember the Petersfield bookshop chap saying he goes to all the England games but doesn't celebrate if a scummer scores, makes moments like Lambert, Harwood-Bellis etc scoring all the more enjoyable , small wins and all that

The earlier train got the full reception, very very slow walk with all sorts of missiles flying into the escort, check out the Copa 90 video , fast forward to nearer the end and has some footage of it ,get an idea on this as well

Play off final at Wembley, 90,000 in attendance all on a bubble trip 😂

Watford away in the quarter finals of the FA Youth Cup unfortunately the same night as Chelsea away , anyone local not doing the first team game might fancy this as an alternative https://www.watfordfc.com/news/2025/february/17/fa-youth-cup-date-confirmed-for-quarter-final/

Thought he got injured at Ipswich?
