Markus Liebherr, Nicola Cortese, Alan Pardew, 1st Team Squad ….

[Dark Munster]

make ticket prices cheap as possible (fA minimum)as they will only get 1/3rd gate receipts and the police bill will be huge.

 

:smt098

 

I like the way you think. Can we charge 5p per ticket?

[paulwantsapint]

AP if you think any of the players underestimate the desire to beat the blue few get Doddsey out of the youth set up & on his phone to some of the boys ie Fran Benali, MLT, Case & even if need be CMFG all players who know what it means to beat the skates

[StuRomseySaint]

with saints and pompey..it is a whole different level to posturing to southend fans behind a police line

 

Are you aware of Joiners 2003?

[sotonjoe]

Are you aware of Joiners 2003?

Was that when Keith Legg did that famous rendition of "I will Do Anything for Love" with his bit of fluff, Amy?

[Saint Without a Halo]

just thinking who they will have..

 

Yebda, Belhadj, Dindane, Utaka, Boateng..

 

um.....err, sh1t.....we may not win this one

 

These guys will be scared s***less by a derby game and will freeze! Derby and cup heroes are often unsung!

[david in sweden]

Please do not underestimate what a game against Pompey means to us !

 

The rivalry runs deep and long and only when the day comes and 32,000 people swell the ground will it fully become apparent. The squad MUST know what this game will do the the average fan, the passion, the pride of being a saints fan will emanate from all sides, we will urge you on with every cheer.

 

Win this game for us, better still, win this game for yourselves … you are the Saints fans on the pitch !! COYR

 

well said !

few local players are in league teams nowadays and very few /none of the present squad understand what a Saints / Pompey derby really means.

This is OUR CUP FINAL !

You have no clue.

[JRM]

yoof..?

 

lets see them gob off with this lot coming....

 

 

think you would be better off commenting on topics you actually know about mate.....or you think the only lads we have are aged 16?

 

either way, you haven't got a clue.

A ignorant post by delldays there, doesn't he know saints v skates brings out every man and his dog? jesus he would have shat himself all the way home at fratton in 84 .

[musesaint]

Please can you make our ticket prices a quid and charge the skates £50 each Mr Cortese? That would make me lol.

 

Genius !

[Minty]

The only lads 'we' have...? Who are 'we'?

 

I realise me posting this is like ******ing in the wind, but I sincerely hope that 'we' behave, or even, god forbid, grow up and grow out of any violent tendancies once and for all.

i was more referring to his constant use of the word 'yoof'.

 

Doesn't matter, i'm sure there wont be any trouble anyway.

If there's no trouble I will eat the contents of my arsehole for a month.

[Thedelldays]

The yoof.... I meant the band if teenagers we have who think they are hard as nails and like to posture at the back of the northam or at most away games.

 

I am fully aware that older people will mo doubt be up for trouble. They are not what I would call the yoof.

 

I have been to fratton on more than one instance to see saints and know full well what this tie means. And yes I know what happened (or did not) at the joiners.

 

My point was, the yoof could look very silly with their posturing as this tie is different as most of the yoof would have been at school the last time we played pompey

Once again, Minty, you post sense. But I fear your hope may be forlorn.

 

 

K.

[surrey1saint]

Indeed,I agree.

 

I think a lot of us will be hoping that the 'old bill' and club don't underestimate this game,as they did at the West Ham /Millwall .

The 'yoof', the proper 'yoof' are underestimated a great deal by you.

With respect mate, and watch me get slated for this... but most of the reasons for us being a 'Cat C' team is because of the Youth... they will certainly be relishing this one. Maybe you refer to some of the other kids who posture, but the youth element of Southamptons support is a very active one.

 

With respect mate, you don't know anything... you don't get a Cat C category from sitting at the back of the Northam posturing.

 

As for Joiners... I don't think you do know what happened. Feel free to enlighten me.

[Thedelldays]

lol at all those who seem to think they are on the "inside" of some sort of southampton firm

[StuRomseySaint]

lol@ the people who don't have a clue, live in Plymouth and go to the odd game yet pretend they know if/where/when Southampton's trouble element is.

 

No come on... instead of trying to dodge questions and being patronising... answer the questions.

 

1) Why are Southampton a Cat C team if they have no trouble element?

 

2) What happened at the Joiners in 03?

 

Go on Thedelldays... you seem to have a pretty strong opinion and claim to be ITK... so prove it...

[VectisSaint]

Strictly speaking "would have been of school age" would be more accurate. Chances of them having actually been at school are very very small.

[WealdSaint]

Ought to offer the seat next to Hr Liebherr in the directors box to the head of the local tax office.

 

We must be polite to the people who own our opposition.

[Um Bongo]

Indeed,I agree.

 

I think a lot of us will be hoping that the 'old bill' and club don't underestimate this game,as they did at the West Ham /Millwall .

 

It's been nearly 5 years since we've played each other. There something like 400/500 police at Fratton park when we were spanked.......i would expect the same number for this, if not more.

[Whitey Grandad]

:smt098

 

I like the way you think. Can we charge 5p per ticket?

'fraid not. FA rules are minumm of £15.00 per ticket (except concessions) and the prices have to be mutually agreed. Sorry.

[Minty]

Go on Thedelldays... you seem to have a pretty strong opinion and claim to be ITK... so prove it...

 

It's bad enough having the regular kind of ITK'er on here re: transfers, but this new kind is one we definately don't need. Frankly I find all talk about what our yoof do or don't do, and how strong our 'crew' is to be entirely pathetic and couldn't be less appropriate to the intentions of this thread.

You've turned into a right little jessy minty, or are you on your period?

 

Nobody is bigging up anyone, I was simply pointing out that Thedulldays doesn't have a clue what he is talking about.

Sorry, didn't realise Mintys boyfriend was a member on here too.

Im embarressed for you.

[JackanorySFC]

Definatly agree with this, from what I hear.

 

Exactly, after the Joiners they'll be bricking it! The super hard skates were put well on their toes that day and the few that stood got battered! Not once have Pompey had it their way against us - not once! People on here worrying that they are all some sort of 6ft 8, 22 stone super thugs are way way way off the mark.

 

God, even the Macedonia game is a great example, rumours of 2/300 657 coming up got hundreds of Saints out baying for blood - what happened? A pathetic and **** scarred mob of about 30 Pompey were escorted 3 deep by OB as young and old saints tried to get at them through Kingsland Market.

 

Up the Saints!

[StuRomseySaint]

I'm embarrassed for your spelling.

Brilliant stuff.

Well, thats true, spelling embaressing wrongly is quite poor...

 

...but on the other hand I could be in my forties pretending I'm hard and that I'm gonna **** some poopey teenagers like you once did 'back in the day'...

 

Yawn. I'm off to watch Green Street to learn how to be like you.

[Channon's Sideburns]

Tell you what, I hope that Messrs Liebherr, Cortese and Pardew do not read this thread.

 

I don't care who is inside or outside of our 'firm' - I only care about the football.

 

If you want to have a punch up, do it away from St Marys...somewhere like Lordshill where you won't know the difference afterwards.

 

This club is rising from the ashes, don't let the fishy few drag us down to their level.

 

Wishful thinking I guess though.

 

I was at Fratton in 84..10yrs old and **** scared on the way back.

[Minty]

You've turned into a right little jessy minty, or are you on your period?

Stu,

 

If, by not wanting any violence to be associated with my club, this fixture, or football in general, that makes me a 'right little jessy', then I think you'll find there are thousands of other 'right little jessy's' in the world too.

 

If you can explain to me exactly what the point is in all this discussion the 'youth' or 'Joiners 03', and it's relevence to a football match in the FA Cup, (without resorting to cheap insults that only serve to make you like a schoolboy) then I'll happily listen and debate it. But as far as I'm concerned, it is simple:

 

ANYONE who thinks that wilful violence can in any way be condoned, whether connected to football or not, and who therefore risks seriously injuring or even killing another human being, is in need of serious help. To have such a lack of respect for life and proactively seek out to harm another is utterly sick, and discussing it here in the way some do ('hundreds of Saints out baying for blood ... Up the Saints'! - WTF?!?) is beyond my comprehension and indicatve only of the sad state of affairs that this world finds itself in.

 

In short, IMO, it's disgusting, has no place in life let alone sport, and I am ashamed that there are so-called 'Saints fans' who take part.

[Noggin]

Shall we welcome them with a champagne reception then shower them in confetti. Maybe we could give each skate there own "southampton buddy" to ensure they have a great time.

[monosaint]

Looking at the obvious anticipation for this match we should hope that Pompey do recover from their current financial difficulties. In that last year we have both suffered and it's great to be thinking about the game and not Pompey's potential demise. We were there once don't forget. It's great for the area that both clubs are successful. Without that this fixture may dissappear. That would be a shame. Let's leave the mindless minority to their abuse..

Here, here. It would be a great shame for a great rivalry to die out. I believe a lot of other football fans also see this as a great derby fixture. It was interesting to see on the Robbo Robson blog on the bbc sport website and it was interesting to see that he described it as "It'll make City-United at Eastlands look like a bit of a fracas at the local bridge club". Shows that it is one of the better rivalries in english football and would be a shame to lose it. Can never imagine us having a similar rivalry with Reading, Bournemouth etc...

[Windmill Arm 2]

Were you at the CCC night match and did you witness the pompey fans fighting each other in their stand? I thought not, but had you been there and known the facts behind the said infighting you'd be aware that it occured because revenge was being exacted on the pompey fans that ran away. By all accounts Pompey were well and truely battered outside the joiners and most legged it.

 

As for your comments about the "Yoof" i think you are confusing the influx of teens with bad attitudes with the "Youth". I made comment about gobby teens in block 42 the other week and fully agree that there's some right ****s in that stand, but you're wrong to call them the Youth because clearly they are not. As it goes our fanbase is very different to what i was during your time (and mine) and there is a new generation that has come through since the last time we played Pompey. Go to any game - particularly the aways - and the ratio between groups of young lads - to olders groups of lads - to families has changed with more young (18 - 21) casuals than there has been for a generation.

 

That all said i don't envisage that much trouble (on a par with the night match) because it'll be a 12 o clock K/O in broad daylight, but if the match had been a night match my hunch is that Pompeys lads would take an even bigger beating than last time.

Dune, clear this up for me then.

 

Some are talking about 'Youth' in terms of the gobby little sh1tes that are frequenting the Northam...but, instead are getting them confused with the 'Yoof' who are in fact our firm of mixed ages???

 

Just an honest question.
