Daren W Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 You might have been in top flight for 27 years but achieved nothing just like us and now we are in this tin pot league together! But with your vast superior stadium and the millions you have to spend on players surely you should be top of the premier league but i dont understand why you are in this division? We got relegated twice, that's how... You're not very good at this are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daren W Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 True, they wouldn't be talking about us so much if they were not looking over their shoulders. Bless.

manji Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 There was a big rivalry late 70s /eary 80s kicked off by the Saints/Spurs game at The Dell last game 77/78 season. Brighton could have got promoted if we had beaten Spurs but allegedly it was an "agreed" result and it finished a tame 0-0 and we went up with Spurs. I can also remember quite a few tasty awaydays down there early eighties, I think we had them in the cup as well. Not to mention Dec 81 when we played Brighton at The Dell and if we had won we would have gone top of the league (above Man Utd !) and they beat us 2-0 (Foster).The game was a sell out and there were a couple of thousand fans locked out.Cue running battles outside the ground.

sfc1976 Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 Have to say I was quite surprised to see the level of hatred for us on their forum.

For myself, apart from the obvious, I would like to see all the south coast sides do well as I have a bigger problem with the North and London dominance of football.

Cabrone Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 Not sure what the fuss is all about, I don't think Brighton will last the distance TBH.

um pahars Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 I actually think it is a tad sad to see the arrogance (and more than a hint of jealousy) in some Brighton fans. It wasn't long ago that I and a few others went along to their Fans United day when trying to save them and the Goldstone. Rather than try and create a rivalry and sound off, they would do well to remember the support they got from throughout the leagues when they were going through their troubled times. I suppose there was a pseudo rivalry back in the late 70's/early 80's when Portsmuff had disappeared down the leagues, but it was never a rivalry in the real sense of the word. They do seem rather like the Bournemuff fans whipping themselves up in to a frenzy and trying to create something that simply does not exist. I think it's rather good that a club who on the verge of going under have bounced back, are opening a new ground (not sure about its location, but that's an aside) and have a benefactor who is helping them to push on. They've obviously played well this year to be where they are and have laid down the gauntlet for us and others to catch them. Are they stuttering a little, maybe, but we will need to take advantage of that. Strange how some of them are getting all narky about a rivalry that doesn't exist (apart from on purely footballing teams, in that we are both challenging for promotion) and why they are wasting time on it when they have so much to look forward to. Each to their own I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 I find this thread a bit surreal! Why does anyone visit a rivals on line forum? This forum often attracts rivals fans for a bit of banter prior to games, but why just to say how "arrogant" we are as fans? I understand rivalry and hatred - but as a kid I used to watch Southern Soccer on ITV on Sunday afternoons and want to see Saints, Pompey and Bournemouth win (honestly don't remember Brighton featuring think they must have been covered by ThamesTV?). Anyway that all changed with puberty and whilst always seem Bournemouth as a lower division club, Pompey became the rival of choice - especially after we got relegated in 1974 and had to play them in the then 2nd Division. Even then the hatred seemed to be more from "them". I've tried to analyse it - I started watching Saints in 1966-67 when they were the top dogs on the south coast being in Division 1. I had no idea Pompey were the "bigger club" as it was never talked about in our household (my old man was an Arsenal fan from the 1920's). Being a Saints fan has never been about winning anything - sure we'd have a few good results a season against the big boys in the 60's/70's - then we got relegated. Then it all changed suddenly we were in a lower league - and expectation was high. Promotion wasn't won in our first season - but I seem to remember winning a trophy at Wembley in 1976. The following season I can only describe as a golden era in the clubs history - promotion, finishing runners up to Liverpool in 1984, decent FA Cup runs...then we became a plc, and the dark Lord (he who must not be named) became our leader. His legacy was to get us up to our eye balls in debt, a new stadium and become a laughing stock. His parting gift was Administration when in The Championship making us a bigger laughing stock than Manchester City. So fellow football fans in Brighton and Bournemouth there are many fans who seem arrogant because they genuinely do not know that there is any football outside The Premier League. Visits to far off places like Hartlepool and Carlisle used to be a dream Cup draw so we could visit new grounds - not Highbury, Old Trafford or Anfield week in and week out, season after season. Sure I've been there and done it - and I can assure you we never thought we should win every game then except in that season in 1984! I expect Saints to win every week (now) in this league because we have a side that wants to win, unlike the shadow of the side built by a Dutch joker using boys not men seeing us fall into League 1. There is an arrogance about the club which goes back to the dark Lord - now with Mr Cortese at the helm some would say that arrogance hasn't gone away with the press photography ban. The Manager has a certain way - I call it a confidence not arrogance...and this is gradually passing to the team (who seem to have started believing) and the fans again. To be honest under the current circumstances I can see us going to the end of the season with only a couple of defeats - and that of our own doing. So "so called rivals" you will be glad to see the back of us this season, and we won't be your rivals again for a long time...we have a 5-year plan and never mind The Premier League looking over their shoulders - watch out Europe. The thing is we all have dreams - some bigger than others admittedly, but somehow I think our dream has more chance of coming true as we stand. As football fans we all have rivals, we all "hate" at least one club - but the fact is you don't ever change your team or alliegances. For the people of Brighton and Bournemouth is is so much easier to pick a Chelsea or Man United for your team - so good on you for standing by your local team. In Southampton there are many misguided kids now wearing the wrong shirt - even when we were in The Premiership it was the same! So there are a couple of things to remember - I will for ever be a Southampton supporter, I will always want any team playing Pompey to win. Brighton & Bournemouth will never be rivals and would probably like them to win any game not involving Saints. You will never be a bigger club than Southampton as long as you have holes where the sun don't shine - so get over it and get on with following your own club (and leave this forum alone!)
