Saints Fans

Some right bitter twits on their forums, this is just a little example.

Quoted Text

I was there and think they said the attendance was 17,500 I think,  including over 4000 Grimsby fans.
But the Grimsby fans sounded like 17,500 to f them, gotta give them props for the supper midweek. In contrast the home support was basically silent apart from 1 or two attempted chants that quickly died out  

That's just one from Reddit. The majority of comments I've seen have been nothing but complimentary towards the players and fans.

You learn a great deal about a persons character from how they respond to defeat.

Been almost constant praise form Saints fans I've come across. There will always be bitter fans but honestly, the guy needs to worry where his club are going, never mind a loss to little ol' Grimbo. The elation and pride of our performance last night was so immense that I barely  took in some of the commentators words about their plight. The I remembered this morning....they spent £60 million in January. Whaaat?
Shocking, wreckless and a just galaxies away from the football we all enjoy/endure in the lower levels.
Don't know where they go from here but not our problem anymore, out-spent us by £60 million but we outplayed, out-fought and out-sang them.

Proper football.

All the people we spoke to in Southampton before and after the game and again this morning were friendly helpful and complimentary about us . I think when you are pottering about in the lower mid reaches of the Premier League for years never looking like winning anything and hoping to finish 10th every year you are perhaps a bit jealous of nights like we had.

This was off a Saints forum. Got to say the same about my personal experience of those we met yesterday.

out-inflatabled them too.

Quoted from Mayaman

out-inflatabled them too.

Not sure about the validity of the word but I'm up for e-mail bombing the Oxford Dictionary bunch until they relent

I’d try not to get too excited about what a 13 year old on Twitter says about us

I sat with a friend of mine in the Saints but down the side, mix of generations and opinions, mainly the ref and their side getting the stick.

For both of our goals and the final whistle I tried to play it cool, failed miserably!

While the Saints supporters my feel they've been done over by a quality L2 team, they should take solice from the proverb.......

"Defeat is Ok"

Was that you that waited for their fans to leave and then opened your jacket to show us all your Town top underneath?

I hope Southampton go bust ,as they surely will.  Spending 30 mill on two of the most ineffectual strikers I have seen in years. If we hadn't come out for the second half we'd still have wone, they couldn't hit a cow's ar£e with a banjo . And as for the comment (at least we don't live in Great Grimsby ) I've  worked all over the country ,including Sarfampton and it's  a shi+ hole . And they eat Cod , witch as we all know is only fit for cats and suvernurs.U.T.M.

Fail to see what cheating we did , granted VAR. Went in our favour but it was correct in its judgment .

Indeed.

Both penalty decisions were correct. They may be upset by Orsi's oscar moment, but the fact is that if you punch someone in the back in the box, it's a penalty. It's also violent conduct and the defender would have had no complaints if he'd been given a straight red card.

And being offside is like being pregnant. You either are or aren't. And Wallcott was. (Offside that is.....)

Perhaps they take exception to Max's unfortunate cramp, but I am not a doctor so can't speculate on that .......     

To be expected from some Saints finding given the situation they are in and have a League 2 team come and burst their bubble.
Consider the ticket price and being at home I thought their attendance was poor and the atmosphere and vibe for the occasion pitifal from them as whole.
I love this phrase i cannot take credit for
We " out-inflatabled them" this i hope carries on at Brighton and beyond!
With 4200 tavelling away we out sang them at work
Today the feedback " You blew them out the water!"
and impressed the socks of those watching the game out of curiosity not support.
BRING ON BRIGHTON

But that's the nature of the PL and it's only really since the new owners took over this last year or so that Southampton started splashing out on players.

For years and under Gao especially, Saints have sold some of their best players and used that money to get cheaper replacements in, often promising young talent.

It just hasn't worked out these last few years. I mean for example, Djenepo was supposed to replace Sadio Mané lol.

The team is all over the place at the mo, a young team very much in transition or perhaps destined for the Championship. Time will tell but at least we're not Everton lol. Half a billion quid on transfers and what do they have to show for it?

You have to take before even thinking about time wasting. Southampton were responsible for us taking the lead.

And as for it being a shithole lol. Believe me there are much worse places to live. I've never been to Grimsby but I'm sure it has similar problems, probably feels more like being beside the sea there.

At least it's not Portsmouth lol. I have family there and at first glance the place looks nicer (especially Southsea) but it's basically the worst parts of Southampton on steroids, way too urban.

Like Southampton it has a surprising amount of deprivation for the South East. Southampton punches well above its weight though, as it only became a city in the 60s and that's reflected in how small the city centre is but there are some lovely parts of Soton, especially the area around riverside park or the Common, Highfield etc. New Forest nearby and doesn't take long to get out of the city either.

Two decent universities, an airport, huge container port, six cruise ship berths, one of the best art galleries in the country,, biggest theatre in the south outside of London etc. Surprisingly good music scene. Just sad there are so few local pubs left in the city centre and so many late night venues have disappeared in the 23 years I've lived here.

No mate it wasn’t but I wish I’d thought about it.

Southampton , Portsmouth and GY are all pretty similiar really to an extent  nicer parts and worse parts -Ive walked down shirley road ,lived in Fratton and was born near Freeman Street .But all have decent areas i think its the same everywhere really to an extent- I lived in Delhi for a time and to call anywhere here 'a sh#t hole ' just makes me think of that place and that anyone thinking that about anywhere here should give the outskirts of somewhere like that a try .

Been to joiners a few times that was a few years ago though ,dont know if its still there  ? Some great gigs there

Yep still there. So many of the 'toilet circuit' venues have closed lately (especially in London) so it's great to still have one.

The Guildhall is not too bad too but acoustics are crap. The old Talking Heads was great but we still have the Brook, and Garden Court at Southampton University is okay. We lost some big nightclubs but being more into live music that doesn't bother me so much, we gained a couple of others, Engine Rooms, 1865 etc.

But we also have an event each year called Music in the City showcasing local artists which includes live performances in all sorts of historic venues like various medieval wine vaults.

Some notable acts to come out of here include the band Delays and Creeper. The album Faded Seaside Glamour is partly about Soton. In fact, Delays were signed by Rough Trade after a private gig at the Joiners.

My brother went to Southampton Uni so I'd stay down there when Town were at Pompey. I think the city suffers from the unimaginative reconstruction following WW2 bomb damage that you see in other places.

I like Portsmouth. I worked out of there for a few weeks a year and actually married a Pompey girl so know the area. I have quite a few friends who support Pompey. It was always a good day out there though I only saw a run of defeats bar one win in 1998-99. There seemed to be a pub on every corner at one time but I gather that has changed now.

Will have to try and check some of those out ,i live in Fareham so its just down the road for me - I went to London road brewhouse and shenanigans before the game i didnt even know they were there ,the local ID driving license actually came in useful .

Absolutely, lots of buildings were put up in a hurry after WW2.

As for Pompey, my sister and my nieces and nephews live in Southsea. The area is great, lots of local pubs, particularly along Albert Rd. Pompey has a more bohemian feel than Soton and a great music festival where the place come alive

It's a great place to visit but I prefer to live in Soton as it's just greener, more spaced out and in some ways more affordable. Like Pompey it has some dodgy estates but they're really not that bad. I use to live in one.

And I know I'm biased lol

Wedgewood rooms was good down albert road ,and there was a decent little live music venue next to Fratton train station that always had a few bits on ,not sure what that was called though .

My wife is  from Portsmouth to, but doesnt really like football ,she does ocasionally have a look on the Fishy though to  offer a few thoughts ,after reading one of our previous custodians late night rants she declared 'is he a fruit loop ?'

And she also says they 'will be getting booed again if they lose  on Saturday '

Yeah, can understand that as the rivaly does my head in at times. It's just too toxic and being from outside the area (Devon) I just don't have that level of hatred in me lol.

It's nice the stadium is in the city centre but it was a shame to lose the Dell as it was a really tight ground and in a nicer part of the city.

Regards the rivalry, maybe some Pompey fans are very passionate but they're definitely more the aggressors. There's a good little documentary about it on YouTube but maybe is a bit more slanted toward Pompey. Worth a watch.

We played at Luton in the 4th round which trumps all in the shithole stakes surely.

Southampton is a great place had some good nights out there.
Lived in Portsmouth, Southsea for a year liked that as well.
