I could make a top ****ing 100 about why its better to support saints than pompey.

Its a shame the **** paper cant get there super fans to fill a 20k capacity stadium in the premiership.

I really hope the tax man gets the job done next week and then see whos gloating.

Fair comment about Rory Delap, mind. He was a waste of £4m!

 

But yes, the article does rather reek of desperation especially when they're currently two divisions above us.

I reckon they were scraping around by the time they got down to insulting Matt Le God's haircut! We could fill a top 10 of Poopey gaffs from just the last six months! Dodgy chairmen, overpaid players (John Utaka, £80K a week), internet site pulled etc. You have to laugh!

He's doing alright for Stoke.

TBF, they have a point with a few of those reasons.

 

The Crest, Dia, Delap and the Statue.

 

I would love to think that someone has that statue in their shed and when times are really bad they just pop down the shed to brighten their day.

I **** myself laughing just thinking about it.

Oh i would have loved to be at the unveiling

The slating of Rory Delap's time here is a travesty, in my opinion. God knows how many times I've posted on here sticking up for the bloke but I don't understand why so many Saints fans didn't rate him here. He was a pivotal part of our FA Cup final team and thrived under Strachan. It's massively unfortunate he wasn't utilised in the correct way by subsequent managers. The way he has performed since he was with us is a testament to actually how good he is. £4 million for Delap in his prime is very good business.

Whilst viewing the article, ensure that you vote for a Saints win in the poll on the right side of the page!

 

Yep, especially after reading their bit about vote rigging :-D

Voted.

 

A bit ironic due to the vote rigging but all the same, well worth 2 clicks lol

Several of the points are quite reasonable, particularly reference to Lowe, and to be fair MLTs haircut was awful. I think they missed the point somewhat with the Statue, and they could have made it better for them, after all the real problem is that it looked more like Mandic, don't recall references to Krankie. They missed an opportunity there to have another Agent story like the Redcrapp one (perhaps the statue maker was a closet Pompey fan or something made up).

 

Bobby Stokes goal was not offside.

I agreed with all of those and most of them have had at least one thread on here where Saints fans have said just the same.

 

What's the problem? There have been loads of **** things about saints over the years. Mostly on the pitch, which they hardly mentioned.

"Southampton's official website carried a choice of new home shirts for the team to wear ahead of their move to St Mary's Stadium in 2001.

Most of them were red and white stripes, apart from one which was in tribute to manager Glenn Hoddle's playing stint with Monaco.

The thing is, Saints fans hated the Monaco shirt, Hoddle had already left for Spurs so Pompey fans voted in their numbers for the Monaco shirt to win the vote.

Sadly, the club got wind of the vote-rigging attempt, but it was a good effort."

 

Is that really true?

 

Reason 1 - we don't have sex with fish.

Is this why the Echo have put the youtube link on their homepage ?

"even the most ardent Poopey fan would agree MLT was a great player" they have noone, noone !! past or present that the same can be said of.

It is true, as the The News reporter who compiled that list worked on Saints OS at the time.

Ten Reasons Why Being a Saint is better then a skate:

 

1) Marcus Leibher - You know, they guy who know owns Southampton? The Billionaire? Oh yeah, the one P*mpey could reakky do with now.

 

2) Fanbase - Two leagues below P*mpey and still getting a higher attendance - As we always have been bar a couple of seasons. Still, I'm sure you're '250,000' fanbase are all just poor and can't afford tickets?

 

3) Rickie Lambert - Nice to have a striker scoring goals isn't it? Oh, well I suppose you wouldn't really know, being bottom of the league and all that.

 

4) Staplewood - Our own training ground and facilities which will soon be better then Fratton Park. I'm sure you'll get you're super '45,000' seater in Hilsea soon though, eh?

 

5) Our acdamey - Don't even need to go into this. Where's yours?

 

6) Matt Le Tissier - May have had a **** hair cut in your view, no other pompey player will ever come close to his ability or class. Worth supporting Southampton just to see him play.

 

7) Agent Redknapp - Not only did he screw us over, looks like he did a more effective job down your end of the road. Well done HR.

 

8) HMRC - We pay these people on time. If you do that you don't get into trouble. Feel free to pass this advice onto Mr Storrie.

 

9) John W******d - We have no need for some shoddy Bell and all his mong mates hanging around - What an embarresment!

 

10) Our Stadium - What you can only dream of. Enjoy it tomorrow, might be the last time you get to step foot in it.

People get paid to write these articles, lowest common demonenator journalism. Appealing to their lower intelligence fan base. Vote wise it is now 25% that Saints will win, COYR !!

For some reason, when using Firefox at work, their little poll about the game is letting me vote more than once. It's now the biggest margin (27%) in favour of us winning :-)

 

Time to keep voting I think.
