Pilchards Posted 23 December, 2018 Posted 23 December, 2018 Just a thought as the Hammers are claiming we are a bogey team to them. Who is our bogey team where we often get spanked time and time again? I do remember Newcastle used to have a dreadful record against us at the dell as it went on for something like 17 years without a win.
ericb Posted 23 December, 2018 Posted 23 December, 2018 Everton? Everton is the obvious one, we've got something like 5 wins there in entire our history, haven't checked the stats but Forest has always felt a bit of a bogey team and our record against Spurs is pretty damn bad too.
Pilchards Posted 23 December, 2018 Author Posted 23 December, 2018 Everton away we are weaker but we are strong against them at home.
Pamplemousse Posted 23 December, 2018 Posted 23 December, 2018 At home it's Man Utd. Only beaten them once at St Mary's in 14 matches against them.
saintsmike25 Posted 23 December, 2018 Posted 23 December, 2018 Man City, Spurs, Everton (away), Chelsea
Nordic Saint Posted 23 December, 2018 Posted 23 December, 2018 Spurs and Liverhampton These things change. Right up until the early 90s, we were known as Liverpool's bogey team. We have played far more games against Spurs than any other team and so we have an exceptionally high number of both victories and defeats against them. In recent decades they have 'owned' us and have become our current bogey team but hopefully Ralph will change that. Conversely, Arsenal used to be our bogey team but we have become a bit of a bogey team for them in recent years. Overall, apart from the obvious teams, i.e. the ones that every team has a bad record against, like Liverpool and Man United, I agree with ericb and Green: Everton are considered to be our traditional bogey team. We have still beaten them 29 times though (not 5, eric). Contrast that with Pompey's recent record v Liverpool and Arsenal:
mrfahaji Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 At home it's Man Utd. Only beaten them once at St Mary's in 14 matches against them. Maybe statistically but I’m sure a lot of people would have United as a “bogey” team on that basis.
vivasadio Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Don't even think our record against them is too bad but never feel confident against west ham
OttawaSaint Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Seems to be Leicester these days. Everton historically.
SaintBobby Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 In fairly recent years, although not the last few, the Skates. The 4-1 and 2-2 still annoy me. Should have won both.
explorer saint Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Think we always been pretty rubbish against Sheffield Weds
sad saints fan Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Dont think we have a particularly good record against Reading or Swindon .
John Boy Saint Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Showing my age - Bolton Wanderers were for quite a while.
Fan The Flames Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 We haven't beaten Tranmere away since 1959, including that FA Cup replay.
Monk Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Ipswich and Watford definitely had a spell as our bogey team.
Cabrone Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Used to be Everton, we had a huge run of games where we couldn't bear them back in the day. Now it's the top 6 but something tells me our new manager might be able to do something about that, hope so anyway.

saint1977 Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Ever since I’ve been a supporter since early 1980s Everton mainly. Sheffield Weds awkward in 80s, but Everton have been the constant and suspect they were before that. Arsenal record was bad in 1990s but been good against them at home since we came back up. Can only remember 3 wins at Goodison - early 90s midweek with Glenda header, 2-0 with MLT and Davies and this season in the LC. Had a few wins at home but not many over that many games. Man U we haven’t been bad against, even in their glory years, three straight wins at home in the mid-90s, they considered us as an away game a bogey side. As someone else has said, Watford under Taylor first time around were hard to beat. West Ham feels about evens Stevens. Actually I’ve got one nobody has mentioned - Derby. The 6-2 that got Nicholl sacked, late 80s with Shilts and Wright, Eranio and his cheating mate at Pride Park mid 90s, coming back from 2-0 down opening day after Hassan double under Hoddle and the play offs. Did better against them in the St Mary’s era but still that play off defeat...
Bad Wolf Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 We've got a great record against WBA haven't we?
Bad Wolf Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Everton at home though, apart from that time where Lukaku raped us in the 2nd-3rd game of the season under Koeman.
Badger Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Think we always been pretty rubbish against Sheffield Weds My recollection also.
LuckyNumber7 Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Everton and Sheff Weds the ones who immediately spring to mind for me. I recall us beating Man Utd fairly regularly at The Dell in the 90's but been a different story at SMS.
Lighthouse Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Since promotion it’s got to be Everton away and Spurs at home. Lost our last 4 league games against Bristol City too.
OttawaSaint Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Actually I’ve got one nobody has mentioned - Derby. The 6-2 that got Nicholl sacked, late 80s with Shilts and Wright, Eranio and his cheating mate at Pride Park mid 90s, coming back from 2-0 down opening day after Hassan double under Hoddle and the play offs. Did better against them in the St Mary’s era but still that play off defeat... Forgot about Derby! Weren’t we 3-1 up away to them utterly bossing them and they spawned a late 3-3 draw with Mikkel Beck scoring? God I hated those Derby teams.
OttawaSaint Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Found a cool site called 11v11. Our record bs Derby isn’t too bad. Looking at some other clubs. Aston Villa were a thorn in our side for a while with us beating them once between 1995 and 2000. https://www.11v11.com/teams/southampton/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Aston%20Villa/
OttawaSaint Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 ...and Bolton Wanderers. Haven’t won in last 10 vs them and one win in last 13. https://www.11v11.com/teams/southampton/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Bolton%20Wanderers/
OttawaSaint Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Everton and Sheff Weds the ones who immediately spring to mind for me. I recall us beating Man Utd fairly regularly at The Dell in the 90's but been a different story at SMS. Sheff weds. Between 92 and 98 we went 15 games without beating them!
Tamesaint Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 I can remember going to Maine Road on several occasions and seeing us win. We even won in 2003 just before the cup final when Man City were having a big farewell ceremony. A pity we didn't continue this when they moved to their new stadium!!!
adrian lord Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 GOT to be Leeds: Ali Dia and losing 0-2 at the Dell, to cap it all I was in the AWAY section trying to pull a Leeds supporting chick from work... 2009 Elland Rd 0-1 -14 degrees centigrade then the 3-4 Humiliation at St Mary's, after going in 3-0 up at half time. they are just the lowlights...
Nordic Saint Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 We are a bogey team for Pompey (W19 D10 L9), in what is statistically the most one-sided of all the major derby games in England, Brighton (W23 D13 L8), Bournemouth (W13 D8 L7) and Palace (W42 D16 L28). We have a winning record against about half of the teams currently in the Premier League as well as the vast majority of teams outside of it. Until they moved to the Etihad, we had a winning record v Man City but they have just edged ahead. Our poor overall records v Everton (W29 D23 L48), Leeds (W27 D20 L45) and Spurs (W37 D30 L55) are still better than our record v Arsenal (W21 D26 L49). So, in terms of results, it's Arsenal, although not so much recently.
Micky Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 Think we always been pretty rubbish against Sheffield WedsLast team that I saw us play at the Dell, we won! Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
Nordic Saint Posted 24 December, 2018 Posted 24 December, 2018 In my post #39. 8 and a closing bracket have accidentally produced an emoji, so, for example we have only ever lost 8 games v Brighton. Fortunately,we have nothing as bad in our records as this: Pompey haven't won any of their 51 games against Arsenal or Chelsea over the last 60 years.
VectisSaint Posted 26 December, 2018 Posted 26 December, 2018 Used to be Nottm Forest in the 70/80s, including 2 Cup finals.
ericofarabia Posted 26 December, 2018 Posted 26 December, 2018 Snottingham Snotspur LOL!! I see what you did there .... bogey team ..... Also probably factually right. Can only think of 1 win v them since we returned to The Prem .... 2-1 end of season a few years back when the wheels were falling off their Title challlenge and handed it to Leicester on a plate!!
DuncanRG Posted 26 December, 2018 Posted 26 December, 2018 If West Ham fans really think we're their bogey team, they've forgotten last season at their place quicker than I have...
Bad Wolf Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 If West Ham fans really think we're their bogey team, they've forgotten last season at their place quicker than I have... Was that Pellegrino's first or Hughes' last? I know they were both 3-0 and it was West Ham and Newcastle, respectively but I can't remember which way round it was.
Bad Wolf Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 I've been following Saints since 2005 and in that time, I think we have a very good record against Sheff Wed don't we? I remember them murdering us about 5-0 once under Burley(?) other than that, I seem to remember beating them most times we've played.
