Strangest thing you've heard shouted out at Southampton?

Stood in the choccy boxes, watching Alan Ball constantly yelling instructions at the players around him?

 

He gets the ball just in front of the Milton, the crowd is quiet and some bloke behind shouts at the top of his voice "now tell yerself what to do with it Alan". I think he may have heard because he had a big grin.

I have a few...

 

A very drunk fella in the Milton early eighties singing heartily on his own, in the direction of Peter Shilton, "The Moat House has burnt down, the Moat House has burnt down". To this day, I still don't understand it. The Moat House was the hotel at the bottom of Highfield Road (now the Highfield House Hotel), but it hadnt burnt down.

 

Second up, although at an away game in Nottingham, was a very drunk student chanting (again on his own), "Pearce is my Grandma, Pearce is my Grandma, la, la, la, la" etc. In a game which picked Stuart Pearce, versus Neil Ruddock. No pulling out of tackles in that contest...also nobody joining in with the student.

 

Third up, although not politically correct, was a shout out, after an own goal at the Dell, maybe early eighties (L.Orient perhaps?), with a whipped in cross and deflection of the black centre-half, which flew into the net. Followed by a shout out of "in off the black, seven away".

 

(i know that's not pc, but is quite witty)

Not Saints but back in the 80s there was a trip to Stamford Bridge with work folk, one bloke in the group was not the sharpest pencil in the box. First half Kerry Dixon was "come on Terry!". 2nd half after a few lads tried to correct him as he was attracting the wrong kind of attention, it was "come on Perry"! By about 75 mins this bloke had 10sq feet to himself on the terrace!

Last season when we beat Swindon at a canter. I think we were 3-1 up and playing a bit of one touch, champagne football towards the end... Cue a bunch of absolutely clueless morons in the Itchen/Northam corner, most of which were grumpy, middle-aged men, screaming at Saints to "effing get on with it".

I've said some strange things outside SMS after watching Saints beat Derby. My Brother and I went to the players entrance to collect some autographs after the game. We didn't have a pen so we would put our programme close to others when a player was signing theres. This tactic doesn't work when you are the sole person requesting an autograph so I shouted to Brett Ormerod, who was walking to his car, "Brett, Brett (Brett turns around)........ I haven't got a pen"

 

This has got me giggling.

Whilst not a chant, when I was at the JPT final, some guy a couple of rows in front of us decided to take his trainers off and hold them in his hands (hands raised).... for the ENTIRE game!

 

Towards the end loads of people around hi were shouting at him to put his trainers back on, but he carried on... sometimes bopping them up and down.... no idea why he did that...

Not Saints and not even football, sorry, but, many years ago watching Lancashire play cricket, chatting to elderly lady in the next seat.....turned out she had been given a ticket by Lancs fast bowler because she'd been his landlady, to come and see him play, first game she'd ever been to.

 

"Oh dear, he's not playing very well is he? The batters don't seem to be able to hit what he bowls."

 

And later on we had to explain that, no it wasn't a 4 for the side boundaries and a 6 for the end ones.

A west ham fan, at the back of the away end near the divide, shouted to us "that's a Spurs song you ****s". We were halfway through a slow rendition of OWTS.

 

Needless to say he got some abuse

I HATE it when Spurs sing our song. The North London yobbos. God I hate it.

About 6 seasons ago I couldn't afford a season ticket so used to sit in the Chapel when ever I could. Now, as we all know, from the Chapel end the Kingsland is on the left, the itchen on the right.

 

The next season I got and ST again and went in the Northam. First game and the chant "We're the Northam, we're the Northam...." started up. The Kingsland replied and it went back and forth for about three minutes. Then it quietened down. Yours truly, 8 pints of Stella to the good, stands on his seat faces the Itchen, opens his arms wide and shouts at the top of his longs "Kingsland, Kingsland give us a song".

 

I was too ****ed to be embarrassed. After a whole season of being in the chapel, the aforementioned 8 pints of wife beater and my orientation was a tad off. Everyone around me had a good laugh. In that situation the only thing to do is accept that you messed up and laugh too. For several games after they would rib me about it.

One of the funniest moments was in the 60s when we were playing Chelsea at the Dell and they had a player called Hutchison. He was being done for receiving stolen goods at the time and came over to the West Stand to take a throw in. It was one of the moments when the whole crowd goes absolutely silent as the ball was thrown to him and some wag shouted out 'dont give it to him - he''ll nick it' followed by raucous laughter from everyone in the stand who heard it. Hutchison was so shocked by the crack and the response he dropped the ball on the line and walked away to let someone else take it. I thought it was hilarious but I was only a teenager at the time. :lol:

'we are the pompey haters'..... I hate this song when it is repeated over and over again, Yes I hate the skate bastards, but we are saints fans. It makes us sound obsessed.

Years back at the dell we used to sing 'we hate pompey, and we hate pompey..........(repeat) we are the pompey haters' but it gets sung with just 'we are the pompey haters' over and over again far to regularaly. COYR!
