North Stand Chat is a good site, whilst most of ours have been taken over by trolls and the humour and interesting posters have departed. Looks like our trolls visit here though too.
He was just making the point that last year Lg1 clubs like Yeovil and Tranmere raised their game against Saints, just as they did against Leeds. Getting a 'named' scalp and playing in front of a big crowd in a 32,500 capacity stadium is the closest to a cup final many players from most clubs in...
Given the way Brighton and Saints are going, cant help feeling a little sorry for Huddersfield. A close third on merit for so long last season and missed out on promotion. Reckon they would have done well in the Championship, and it would have been awesome to see the three promoted clubs in the...
Adkins' interviews are toe curlingly awful. I think its deliberate though. He very rarely gives any information away of any value at all. Hes very into sports psychology, belives in maximising every advantage over opposition, including that of surprise. I dont know why you guys are so upset...
I think its £12m + £3m, the figure quoted by BBC and Sky. Also Saints website is saying it blows their previous transfer record "out of the water". Given that the previous record was £11m for Walcott, £15m sounds right.
I never really understood why they objected to the stadium so strongly. The impact of crowd for a game once every two weeks is nothing compared to carving the village in two with a four lane main road. Personally I wouldnt live there because of the road - if you can put up with that, you can...
We should have lots of governing bodies, like boxing. That way there will will lots of world cups to compete for, and since all the best teams will avoid each other - everyone who is half decent can have a one each. Football's coming home..,..
Ive lived in Brighton more years than Southampton, watching both teams on occasion. Rivalry is great but it always seems odd when fans try and slag off Saints by denying reality. Saints were in the prem for 27 years consecutively until 2005, then were relegated from the Championship in 2009. The...
Until recently Saints had some big names in for a summer friendly - Ajax last year, Espanyol etc. I think they've been stopped now because Pardew felt that a league 1 or championship side getting tonked by top class European opposition did nothing for pre season morale and told him nothing about...
Good game today. Congratulations on becoming champions, well deserved. Wyhat Poyet said about us having the best players but you lot having the best team is true, which makes Albion's achievement even greater. Sorry about the few fruit loops on our side, and on yours. Looking forward to the game...
