Who the f*** cares.

Hampshire = Inbreeding

 

[MACROBLUE]

It's not that I dislike Saints as a team I just detest that oh so smug look on Adkins face every time I see it.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Who the f*** cares.

Precisely.

The thing is, having read a bit of the thread on their forum which was linked, we're exactly the same. All clubs are. We love our manager, hate others. We think our stadium is the best, and hate most of the rest. We think we're a big club, and others are deluded if they think theirs is. It's all pretty sad because most people can't see that we're all exactly the same, but we come from Brighton so support them. They're from Southampton, so support them. Rivalry is what makes the game, but it's also pretty pathetic when threads like this appear. But our friends from the Southampton forum probably do the same things they criticise us for, and we certainly do enough for them to be critical of.

The arrogance displayed on that thread is quite astonishing. They really do think that they are a big club don't they?

 

[Silent Bob]

who are Brighton, their rivals are Crawley, they will soon be playing Crawley in the league I don't care about Brighton, who said I did

The big question is why are they fetted like one?

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

We've got no rivalry with SCC and i'm fairly sure they don't give a f*** about us.
I'm more interested in beating the crap out of Crippled Alice. I want 6 points and GD of 10-0 damn it.

I don't know if we're exactly the same. There seemed to be a severe lack of sensible posts. I mean for all our extremes (both in the arrogant belief in our greatness, and the extreme dismissal of opponents) I like to think a) we're not that arrogant, and b) there are a greater number of reasonable posts (either those that put forward some sort of supporting evidence for superiority, or those that highlight the similarities and are as respectful of both clubs positions as a true neutral would be). It's like they got together and were actually trying to create a thread with the sole purpose of insulting us, quite amusingly pathetic.

But I do agree with your general sentiment on general. I remember when we signed kuszcak and there was a link to an ipswich fan board and it was somewhat humorous to see the place full of the sort of comments we have here ([manager] wants all new signings in by start of pre-season, we're being sensible not paying crazy money, we need to sign someone, we might not offer the greatest money but get them in and [manager] can impress them with his vision and plans for the future, we're a club with potential if [player] would rather go somewhere for money we don't need him, if we can't convince [player] to sign over [other club] it's going to be a tough season, etc)
