SNSUN Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 Good links. So to sum up: West Ham fans: Shocked, bitter, and reckon they'll still do better than us. Stoke fans: Shock and trying to decide which of our players to buy next. Fulham fans: Shock and claiming we've overpaid and have got a better attack in Bent and Berbatov for a fraction of the cost. Mackem fans: Shock and worried they're falling behind othe clubs. Worried about playing us next. Cardiff fans: Complimentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 I'm convinced Arsenal think they live in an alternate universe where they finished 19th last year. They released a load of high earners and not spent a penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 Fulham fans: Shock and claiming we've overpaid and have got a better attack in Bent and Berbatov for a fraction of the cost. Not an unreasonable claim. Neither Berbatov nor Bent would suit our style of play so no point thinking we should have got them, but if it works out then those two will at the very least match us for goals.

Jonnyboy Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 And they even now believe that they'll finish above us too, with that pony-tailed donkey leading the line. Don't call Osvaldo that until youve seen him play at least. ffs. edit - sorry didnt see the other quips, but im leaving mine in for posterity.

angelman Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 How do you think Fulham compare our £15m signing of Osvaldo to their record signing - 2001 Steve Marlet £15.5m? Not sure 11 goals in 55 games for a centre forward is that great, and one would hope that Osvaldo does somewhat better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 And as for WHU, £15m for Carroll or the same for Osvaldo. Time will tell, but given the choice I am happy the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 Berbatov scored 15 last season, as did Lambert. Bent's a prolific goalscorer who needs to prove he can do it in a changed league... To be fair apart from his age I would love to have Berbatov at St Marys. He is a class player and would have suited our system ideally, his vision and movement off the ball is brilliant and he scores as many as SRL. As for Bent they are welcome to him, useless pile of ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 I'll be honest, I know absolutely nothing about him other than he's an attacker and he scored 16 goals last season...and I only know that from reading the post above.

Hockey_saint Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 "Ten or under I would have said yes. 15 million for a club of Southampton's size is ridiculous. Did they learn anything from there neighbors? I would back them to finish ahead of us now any day of the week but at what cost?" - from the Fulham board. What a knobber, yeah, we learned not to fiddle the taxman and take money from gun-runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 Berbatov scored 15 last season, as did Lambert. Bent's a prolific goalscorer who needs to prove he can do it in a changed league...

angelman Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 I've been reading various comments and I do find the reaction quite interesting. Forums of other clubs are generally populated by those with some knowledge, while those commenting on news paper articles come across as definite arm chair supporters who think that the top six is a closed shop and woe betide any little provincial club that think otherwise. Sure there are plenty of posters who look at us being like petulant children, when in reality they themselves aren't too different - I find the one poster on the Fulham board a classic example. But I find it a really sad and depressing situation that there are so many people (who might only see football on TV) who really think that the PL has come to the top 6 vs the rest. While the chances are that the top 6 will be populated by the usual suspects (although one has to seriously look whether Arsenal will be there!), it shows the state of the league and how uneven it is. Why are people so happy with that? I hate it and not just because I support Saints. I would love us, Villa, WHU etc to take a CL spot. The top of the table has become too staid and predictable and clubs have become arrogant in thinking that it is there right to finish there.
