Dr Who? Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 We will soon be back above them, and he will be long gone. every game where a lower league team are beating a top flight club they sing that song!! He had a go at us before when he was in charge of another of his clubs that we beat!
Jimmy_D Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Ah yes... Ally McJockstrap wasn't it? Against Plymouth, he didn't think we should have been given a blatent penalty... and after the match complained that 'if that was a penalty, you can call me Ally McJockstrap...' Not sure I can ever remember Holloway beating us, maybe he hasn't.
LGTL Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 He absolutely hates Saints, probably because we always thump his teams.
Spudders Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 What did he say? Just got in so have missed his reaction!
pap Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Apparently, he was less than impressed with Saints fans chanting "Premier League, you're having a laugh". "It's an unbelievable turnaround to have their fans singing 'Premier League, you're having a laugh' at us," added the Blackpool manager. "Well I am having a laugh, I am loving every minute of it because my team has earned the right to be there. "I don't think they should be quite so disrespectful, maybe they're a little bit jealous of the fact a little club like Blackpool can do it and Southampton have fallen from grace. But I'm sure they'll be back."
Spudders Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 hahahhaha Yeah just found this! http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~2261953,00.html Boo-f00king-hoo. I like Holloway generally, but jeez, what did he expect!
PokingFun Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 He missed the bit where they were singing "you're not famous anymore" like every other club that visits St Marys these days ..... to be fair to him, he is quite protective of their achievements and rightly so but the chants are friendly banter really and I'm sure he knows that really. Anyhow, we might play them again next season as that PL bottom half is pretty tight!
The Godfather Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 At the end of the day it was a 'chant', fans sing it variences of all over the country. We made eight chnages from Monday and we're 'lowly' league one. He advertised the fact that the side he was going to put out would be changed, so feck off Holloway you can't have it both ways.
John Boy Saint Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 What a Winkle, I thought he had brought a breath of fresh air to the Prem, but he let himself down badly today.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Pretty pathetic, the "champions league/premiership/championship you're having a laugh" has been sung all over the countries for years now. We'd have sung it to any team above us if we were beating them in the cup.
angelman Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 why did he and Blackpool even bother joining the competition? Anyway Holloway is talking bull. He says a great day out for all the youngsters, but the average age of the starting line up was 24.5 for Saints and 26.2 for them (I had to guess Liam Tomsett's age at 18)

He says a great day out for all the youngsters, but the average age of the starting line up was 24.5 for Saints and 26.2 for them (I had to guess Liam Tomsett's age at 1 I think he's a bit older than that.
Badger Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Holloway has however gained a few more admirers tonight,although not ones he'd probably want . Just seen this on the Bummers board: http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?191718-Ian-Holloway-on-Saints
hamster Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Well done Ian for inspiring your second (or was it third) string, they must be pen in hand to stay at Bloomfield after you just diss'ed them. Premier League, you ARE having a laugh (as a manager).

angelman Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I think he's a bit older than that. Ahh yes!! But even if it was 1 their average age would still be more than ours.
hamster Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Just remambered that their fans sung 'we are premier league, we are premier league' more than once. Over to you Hollowhead.
hamster Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 ...and those knobbers I bumped in to pre-match were asking who WE had next week, 'we're playing Liverpool, who have YOU got?'

Just seen this on the Bummers board: http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?191718-Ian-Holloway-on-Saints Visited that site a few times, they really are a desperately sad bunch. You even get a few of them calling us "scummers" as though we're their local rivals. Bless.
angelman Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 maybe when you get to the premier league you lose your sense of humour and take yourself far far too seriously. (Were we like that a few years back?)
Lighthouse Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Why are Brighton fans getting all excited about this? I mean really is it that interesting? If it had been Brighton beating them today and the same had happened I doubt I'd have raised an eyebrow. Anyway, they knocked Pompey out, so we've got to be extra nice to them now.
whizzpop Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 This quote is by Lincoln Imp and shows they dont what they're talking about "Adkins has been going downhill fast ever since he left Scunny. Arrogant and prone to patronising remarks. I wonder how he and Dean Wilkins rub along?" - bunch of mugs
ThomoSFC Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Disrespecting a premier league team by using a generic chant that pretty much every club has heard at some point? Someones taking the song a bit too seriously... Should of shown his own fans more respect by actually playing a half decent team instead of the youth players he loves to mention. As for the Brighton fans, wow. There obsession with us is comical. They'll grasp that we dont care about them, eventually. Definitely looking over their shoulders.
angelman Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Should of shown his own fans more respect by actually playing a half decent team instead of the youth players he loves to mention. What youth players? He had 2 sub 22 in his starting 11, as did we.
ThomoSFC Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 What youth players? He had 2 sub 22 in his starting 11, as did we. Meant in the squad. Reading that premier league article, saying he filled his bench with half the youth team. Holloway: "To bring all my second-year YTS players along and give them a chance, it's a great day for them."
benjii Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 (edited) What an ungracious ****ing moron Not really. He said a lot of nice things about us and anyone who sang "Premier League, you're having a laugh" is complicit in a bout of embarrassing numptyness and dinloism so he's right there. I am surprised he seems to have taken it to heart, which is strange, as although dinloish and numptyfied it was utterly predictable. Edited 9 January, 2011 by benjii
LVSaint Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I forgive Holloway because he is a bit mad isn't he and prone to say just about anything Brighton's obsession with us is a little disturbing and weird though. Still it's nice to be noticed for a change.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Did think he made himself look a bit of a pleb today. I sully really look forward to his interviews, even though he has hated us for a few years now, I didnt expect that from him. Tool.
K,Billy's supersound Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 i cant stand the bloke or neil warnock i find neither funny or likeable characters. imo they two managers who love the sound of thier own voices and the cameras too much. yet the media love their sense of 'fresh air' and 'telling like its is opinions' and continue to fawn at thier feet for quotes.
Gemmel Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Didn't go today and have no interest in the cups, but if the fans can get into a managers head like that, I salute you. The blokes a loveale nutter, but just showed a very weak charcteristic in his management skills. Nice one Saints fans
Jimmy_D Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I've got it! What he did today was deflect attention from the fact his Prem team was torn apart by a League One team. If we're lucky enough to get a televised tie, the perfect way to get back at him... we make sure we remind him of the fact we beat him by belting out a few rounds of 'Are you watching Holloway'
brmbrm Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 why did he and Blackpool even bother joining the competition? I thought that too, especially after his commetns about it being lowest priority, happy to be out of it, fewer games etc etc. Why bother playiong in the event then? Wjy not save the entrance fee? Or maybe, in fact about 100% definite, he makes comments like that to lessen the impact on his team that they were shown up badly by a division 3 team. Blame it all on a few reserves not being up to it and "well we didn't want to win anyway". Still bet they would rather have won 2-0 than lost 2-0.
Toomer Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Hollaway you k no b head if you read this (which you won't) that game yesterday was played between two championship standard sides and we played you of the park and yes premiership you are having a laugh with that side you put out. I like a lot of people have a great deal of admiration for you with what you have done at Blackpool but today you have gone down in my estimation.
georgeweahscousin Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 He has always been a bitter knob, and a sore loser. Yes he makes funny comments to the media sometimes, but that only masks what a bitter man he is.
MadDogMatt Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Hollaway expressed interest in the Saints managers job but Nicola choose "our Nigel" and what a great choice Also as mentioned it was their fans wo started the "we are premier league" stuff - storm in a teacup stuff anyway Great win, good performance onward and upward
niceandfriendly Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 You have to laugh at him really. What a whinging little brat! It's funny that such a generic, unoriginal chant upset him so much.
beatlesaint Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Pretty pathetic, the "champions league/premiership/championship you're having a laugh" has been sung all over the countries for years now. We'd have sung it to any team above us if we were beating them in the cup. Totally agree. Its a countrywide chant........wonder if he got upset when their fans were singing "Champions league, you're having a laugh" to Arsenal a few weeks back ? No, I doubt it too.
Tamesaint Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I suspect that we will be playing them again next season ..... maybe even again in 2011!!
Saint Martini Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 He's just bitter he went down with Leicester in 2007-2008 losing to Southampton in one of the later matches.
paulwantsapint Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 holloway is upset that he didn't get to go to massive prem ground to get pay day from tickets & lose without anyone noticing very easy to lose to big club then say but it was our reserves bit harder lossing to div3 XI
niceandfriendly Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Funny also how he mentioned jealousy as one of the reasons why that song was sung. I can honestly say I'm not jeaous of Blackpool in anyway, about any element of their football club. Not even their league status. I'd much rather be in our position, building the foundations for a long term, successful (hopefully) stay in the top divisions, rather than a one or two year stint at a club without much infrastucture.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Hollaway you k no b head if you read this (which you won't) that game yesterday was played between two championship standard sides and we played you of the park and yes premiership you are having a laugh with that side you put out. I like a lot of people have a great deal of admiration for you with what you have done at Blackpool but today you have gone down in my estimation. Holloway is one of those 'lovable rogues' in football. Manic when in front of a camera or microphone but often calm otherwise. As to those over on the 'bummers board', did they not sing a similar song to us when we played them? Did NA get so up his own arrrs that he had to comment on the radio? Of course not. NA has his feet firmly planted and he saw it all for what it was, just banter. Football, like many lines of business, is a hard game and if you have the tendency to dislike being called names then you are best off out of it. Maybe Holloway should consider a different line of employment? But then where would we get our laughs after the Fratton Park pantomime finally leaves town?
Fan The Flames Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 So even when he is being beaten by a third div side in a cup comp he manages to shoe horn in the fact that he got Blackpool promoted to the Prem, we know already Ian you tell us at every opportunity.
Dan Johnson Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I thought Holloways comments were pretty funny actually. but honestly who really cares, if he cant handle a few fans taking the **** then maybe the pressure got to him a little bit, if he didnt want it he should have played a stronger side, a side that i'm sure would have probably beaten us, but they have bigger things to worry about, like staying in the premier league. As for Brighton fans always talking about us, it's a bit odd... where has this come from, did they used to do it when we were in the prem? Or is it a jealousy thing since we've fallen from grace and they think we're throwing our weight around a little?
Deppo Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Holloway has alway been like that Brighton will always be like that We are through. Who cares?
shurlock Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 (edited) Thought his comments were hilarious - holloway does camp in his inimitable, aggrieved style. On one interpretation they contain alot of respect for us, admitting we're a big club, even if we've temporarily fallen from grace. But for now they are premiership and we're not famous anymore.
