Rovers13 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Southampton were a better team than us last season and they are this season, I enjoyed watching them last season and they have improved a lot this year, they are a club who will be looking to break into the top 6 or 7 in the next few seasons, wish I could say the same about us They really weren't much better last year were they?

Santa? Whether you agree with it or not we're no longer blowing loads of money on mediocre players. It could be argued that we are now buying cheap mediocre players. Or even that we aren't spending money, 10m net, one of the smallest budgets in the league. Edited October 28, 2013 by dodgyknees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Southampton are all hype and will fade away in the second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 No doubt they will fall back down a bit but they are currently looking the best bet for the team who finishes 'best of the rest' i.e. 9th in the league which would be a fantastic achievement for a recently promoted side.

The players we're buying now are in general far better value for money than the kind of players we were buying before, and I wouldn't say all of them are mediocre either.

Dodgyknees Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Me: - Yeah I am coming to the game in December Saints fan: You're gonna get smashed by the almighty Saints! we're getting 4th! Me: I remember when Southampton fans were easy to talk to and not cocky at all, now they have turned into Man City fans or even Portsmouth when they were winning the cup... Saints fan: (silence) Me: I guess for a team with no history it's a huge achievement to be where you are, a bit like winning the treble. Saints fan: (silence) Nothing for 10 mins... Can we please **** this shit team over in December? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Every Southampton fan I've ever heard on the radio sounds annoying and up themselves. They never used to be. Right now they are so cocky, more Saints shirts down here than I have ever seen. Find it so hard to bite my tongue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
