I don't know, Holloway seems pretty thin-skinned to me. He got really upset about some Saints fans chanting "Premier League? you're having a laugh." when we were beating then-PL Blackpool in the FA Cup a couple of years back. So he does have form at being wound up by pretty harmless banter.

136,006 on first go, got within 1km of Fratton Park and Edgeley Park, worst was 45km away from Pride Park.

I'm not sure why Brighton fans feel insulted by the banner. Stadium naming rights, like shirt sponsorship of a generation ago is just a fact of financial life. It's not aesthetically pleasing but I understand why Brighton went for naming rights to offset some of the cost of building a new...

As a Southampton fan, I took a different view to Gus's comments. He's really setting the expectations so low that it can only be covering his own back. Brighton have got much more chance than Gus is making out. Yes, Saints are on a good run at home, but it's bound to end sooner rather than...
