dubai_phil Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 Sod the jibes from other fans, sod the rumours, sod the naysayers. Today was a bloody BRILLIANT day to be a Saints fan. 3 of the lads we have watched develop are going to a World Cup. My God, going back to the days when I was a kid & collected the coins from Esso or the cards from Panini or their predecessors, the World Cup Squad was A BIG THING So, just for today, I am going to take those jibes for what they are, Sour Grapes. I'm gonna stay up (down here) until 4am to watch OUR boys in the World Cup. If you felt pride today then post it. You want to post that we're so broke we've even sold the pitch then sod off to another thread. What a magical moment, how sad for Jay and SRL? Golden Boot beckons or at least a Disney movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 It's being many a year since I have been excited about the World Cup but this year is going to be special . Thank you SRL, LS, and Adam . My faith in England has been restored for all Roy's faults at least he can recognise real talent unlike huddle and vegetables Come on England . It would be really awesome if Rickie scored the winning goal in the Final That would be a real boys own type story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky morris Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 Couldn't agree more Dubai! City winning the PL with a Goalie from Shrewsbury as the only English man is a disgrace IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 Everyone I have met since Sunday, NZ time, has been made aware that Saints might have 3 players in the England squad. I also mentioned it might have been 4 but for Jays injury. Now that it is official I shall now have great pleasure in reminding same that Saints now defo have 3. :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redder freak Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 I remember the Esso coins too. Will we get some with Adam Rickie and Luke on I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 It's fantastic news, delighted for all of them, especially Rickie. Just a shame that by the time the tournament comes round he will be the only Southampton representative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 Very proud, very excited, but also very nervous with all this speculation that someone's going to beat us up and take our lunch money before I can sit down and enjoy the main event.

goldcoastsaint Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 Plenty to be shouting about...so much so I've finally found something I can be arsed to write about. 3 out of a squad of 23 puts us high up on the list of which clubs have provided the players. Liverpool 5 Man Utd 4 Saints 3 Everton 3 Citeh 2 Chelsea 2 Arsenal 2 WBA 1 Celtic 1 Its definitely something to be throwing back to the likes of Chumpions Citeh about. They may be the best in the league but can only provide England with 2 players for a World Cup. Happy for Ricky, happy for Lallana, happy for Shaw and very happy to be a Saints fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dronskisaint Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 Very proud day, England comes a fair way behind Saints in my 'could care' ratings and have only ever made a point of not missing an England game when Saints players are involved so now really looking forward to the World Cup! Thoughts with Jayrod though...what might have been! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notnowcato Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 I feel sorry that Jay Rod but at best he would have been in the 7 as cover for Raheem or Welbeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red&white56 Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 Very proud! my screen saver is picture of when J-Rod, SRL, Shaw, Lallana and Ward Prowse posed with an England shirt after their call-ups - everyone at work knows at Saints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
