Yes he's not the most sophisticated type, but he has an eye for a goal and worth having as a sub (certainly not suggesting he would start) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he's not the most sophisticated type, but he has an eye for a goal and worth having as a sub (certainly not suggesting he would start) Every time we brought him one last season it was like we’d had a man sent off, such was his lack of movement. Usually we brought him on thinking he was a goal scorer and he’d find a winner, when in reality the momentum swung immediately in the opposition’s favour.

Heisenberg Posted 16 February, 2020 Share Posted 16 February, 2020 Fans like to give it out but struggle when they get anything back. Charlie did OK for us. The game has simply moved on and the high press style is not for him. Wouldn't suit MLT either. Don't understand all the bitterness towards him and fans only upset as he's touched a nerve with his words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 16 February, 2020 Share Posted 16 February, 2020 He's swapped a place on the bench at a Premier League club for a bench in The Championship at an age where players like Rickie Lambert were fourishing. Well done Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Reece Posted 16 February, 2020 Share Posted 16 February, 2020 Didn’t see anything specifically about us (though may have missed it). Just something about The Sun, Caroline Flack and social media trolls. He has deleted what he said... it was in relation to a reply to the tweet where he spoke about thinking before you tweet / speak when a fan questioned whether he did that when he purposefully wound up our fans (the Liverpool shirt thing I assume), he then went onto call one of our fans a c*nt and then said “you’re **** fans, you don’t sing to get behind the team only when they score never when they need the boost” Not that I don’t agree with the above, especially at St Marys - but then again it’s tough with what we have had to put up with for the last 3 seasons.

Micky Posted 16 February, 2020 Share Posted 16 February, 2020 Storm in a teacup stuff really. I feel sorry for the younger generation who feel they have to live their lives through social media, thinking that comments made by inconsequentials are in any way relevant. In my day social media was scrawling derogatory comments, like 'Sharon is a slag' across the back of the bike sheds, or bus stops. Juvenile, I know, but nobody really got hurt, who really knew who 'Sharon, was. Unfortunately the world has moved on and it appears that social media has an awful lot of flaws.

alehouseboys Posted 16 February, 2020 Share Posted 16 February, 2020 then said “you’re **** fans, you don’t sing to get behind the team only when they score never when they need the boost” We can't have a pop at him for speaking the truth.

Nonsense, Saints are little different to any other Premier League fans. Complete silence never stopped Arsenal from winning trophies. We're hardly Galatasaray but Austin is just trolling.

But other than a couple of relatively small groups in two corners of the ground who give it a go (not particularly loud and repeating the same boring stuff over and over) the rest of the stadium is dead. We attack the Chapel in near silence at times. Other PL grounds are bad, but nothing as polite as St Mary's. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if only those 2 small groups hidden away in the corners of the away end, where they are easily drowned out by the away fans and where the acoustics are worst, would join together in one big group, like they do at away games, behind the goal at the home end, we would have much improved home support.

thesaint sfc Posted 26 February, 2020 Share Posted 26 February, 2020 I mean, I get that his comments are not worth reading as he's clearly quite a bitter, childish so and so, but I don't think we can really say he's entitled to say what he's said. I'm a financial advisor and if I went online calling clients c*nts, then I think it would be reasonably fair if my employer or the association that regulates me were to step in. I feel sorry for West Brom who have to put up with his juvenile behaviour and I'm glad that we got rid of him when we did - a solid bit of business.

Got no credit for work with the Southampton foundation compared to Maya.He was a goalscorer that had no pace. Great in the box but nothing elsewhere. Most forwards I can recall a decent goal or moment but I can only recall his 'Parklife' rant, knocking a cyclist off his bike in his Bentley and shouting at fans. My granddaughter (7years old) was having a picture taken with him and he shouted at a Saints fan who also wanted a pic to 'F''' Off' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 20 March, 2020 Share Posted 20 March, 2020 What a ****ing cockwomble. “Austin also revealed that he attended last week’s Cheltenham Festival, where he suspects he contracted the virus, and has been self-isolating from his family since Sunday. The forward also criticised football’s slow response to the outbreak.” He can go to Cheltenham, but football was too slow to react.
