saintmatt Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 As far as I'm aware we don't have a Club motto like some other Clubs do - 2 questions: 1) Should we have one? 2) What should ours be? I'm not sure about 1, and 2 could encourage all sorts of answers. "Together as one" would be an obvious choice - but this situation has only really happened fleetingly since I've been a Saint (including the present, thankfully)! Some might argue "divided" would be more relevant to our past, but surely that's more of a motto this forum should be looking to adopt
The9 Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 I like "Southampton FC" which seems to adopt the position of most clubs mottos.
Sour Mash Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 The club seem to now use 'Together we stand' which is pretty good as far as these things go. Not sure what that would be in Latin though.

M271 Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 'Together we stand - until the stewards tell us to sit down'
Golden Balls Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 I remember them briefly trying to push 'Together we are The Saints' until someone pointed out what it said when abbreviated

"Romanes eunt domus"? People called Romanes, they go, the house? Brian: It says, "Romans go home. " Centurion: No it doesn't ! What's the latin for "Roman"? Come on, come on ! Brian: Er, "Romanus" ! Centurion: Vocative plural of "Romanus" is? Brian: Er, er, "Romani" ! Centurion: [Writes "Romani" over Brian's graffiti] "Eunt"? What is "eunt"? Conjugate the verb, "to go" ! Brian: Er, "Ire". Er, "eo", "is", "it", "imus", "itis", "eunt". Centurion: So, "eunt" is...? Brian: Third person plural present indicative, "they go"..............................

Not sure what that would be in Latin though. I quite like "Together we stand" as our current motto. I used to like the old one too "The spirit of Southampton".
RobM Posted 23 June, 2012 Posted 23 June, 2012 How about... "However bad it gets, at least we're not Portsmouth"

Badger Posted 24 June, 2012 Posted 24 June, 2012 Perhaps we should also have another statue erected, in a Roman like pose of our once leader, with inscription "I am Ruperticus"
