Olallana Posted 8 April, 2013 Posted 8 April, 2013 I think we could make it easier for everyone and have a thread with links to articles about our football club. We are getting a lot of attention at the moment and rightly so, and many articles are very positive. Many of us probably like to read those articles and if we can have them in one thread and discuss them it makes it easier for us all. And easier for the Non Happy Clappers to stay away from of course.... Here is one I thought is very well written. http://thetwounfortunates.com/big-spending-southampton-need-to-remember-pompey/

And easier for the Non Happy Clappers to stay away from of course.... Here is one I thought is very well written. http://thetwounfortunates.com/big-spending-southampton-need-to-remember-pompey/ I particularly liked this extract... So it’s turning into a stellar season for Southampton Football Club and taking the evidence in front of us, Nicola Cortese does appear to have pulled off a strategic plan straight out of the IMD Business School cookbook. Unlike Reading’s Anton Zingarevich, the Executive Chairman has realised the importance of investment, famously shelling out a combined total of more than £20 million to attract Clyne, Ramírez and Rodriguez, swiftly identified young talent where it is there, while encouraging both Nigel Adkins and Pochettino to stick to the passing brief (an absolute sina que non in Premier league these days – just look at Stoke currently, not to mention the Reading of Adam Federici’s hoof balls.) He’s also acted ruthlessly in dispensing of Adkins and enabling a possible move to the next level while he’s ‘done a Starbucks’ in persuading fans to obtain things they don’t want – who would have expected Southampton fans to buy Nottingham Forest shirts in their droves even if they were silly enough to buy Peru ones a couple of years back?
scotty Posted 8 April, 2013 Posted 8 April, 2013 So, the media are suddenly applauding us? Thats it. We're down.
Saint Garrett Posted 8 April, 2013 Posted 8 April, 2013 http://stateofthegame.co.uk/2013/04/08/southampton-is-where-roy-hodgson-should-go-for-a-full-english/ Enjoyed reading that. Makes me not feel like I'm being completely bias thinking they should all be being considered. Could probably add J-Rod to that as well if he carries on playing like he has been.

Olallana Posted 10 April, 2013 Author Posted 10 April, 2013 http://www.givemefootball.com/339209-premier-league-southampton-set-for-tophalf-finish The buy of the season however is Jay Rodriguez, who under Pochettino has thrived at the opportunity of getting regular first-team football [/Quote]
Minty Posted 10 April, 2013 Posted 10 April, 2013 Always worth remembering that Give Me Football, along with some of the other sites, effectively get fans to write some of these articles, so they're naturally going to be quite biased and positive.
JustinR Posted 10 April, 2013 Posted 10 April, 2013 Yeah newsnow has links to all articles mentioning Saints- that's all you need.

sussexsaint Posted 12 April, 2013 Posted 12 April, 2013 Blimey I remember when th Milk cup used to be the other name for the league cup in the 80's used to have a giant polystyrene milk bottle on the centre spot before kick off

I always remember v Wolves one evening a couple of Coppers walking in front of the Milton became the moving target for these now opened full cartons!

Just saw this and thought f*cking hell this will send this place into meltdown, I have a lot of time for the Bleacher Report, always interesting Saints stories and forward looking with regards to tactics and potential.

People only over react to this kinda stuff when it's posted in a new thread to give it its own 'headline'. Will probably go largely unnoticed in this thread. Good read though.
Convict Colony Posted 15 April, 2013 Posted 15 April, 2013 yeah and its nice to see other people recognise what the club is trying to do in the more intelligent media.
