Southampton F.C - Empty seats?

[RichieS]

Kane, Livermore, caulker are all ours so not quite as bad as you suggest. Haven't Southampton got a massive area for selecting young players while we have to share our patch of London?

Crouch as well. And yes, Southampton have a geographically huge catchment area, all the way down into the west country and even into south Wales.

Good and I hope they get relegated.

The amount of pricks in here who seem to think they're as big as us piss me right off http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthre...-Follow-According-to-Simon-Peach#.U9aR6WIaySM

Someone needs to go in there and remind them that we 'stole' 'their' song, that'd really top it off

BREAKING: Southampton and Blackpool announce they are going to have a 5 aside friendly next week.

I doubt they'll be able to put 5 players together between them at this rate.

Joking aside something here seems really strange. Is Koeman getting wages from Pompey in perhaps the greatest trolling session of all time? Are Southampton in serious financial trouble?

We've made some odd decisions before but i can't imagine we'd have sold VDV, Modric, Bale, Parker, Adebayor all in one summer which is essentially what they seem to be doing now.

But anyway....

No club has surely been taken apart in one window like Saints. It was bad enough before the MS and JR news.

I think they will be fine to be honest, I mean they replaced Lallana & Lambert with Pelle & Tadic, who are both pretty decent replacements! They still have good players like Clyne, Ward-Prowse & Cork, and Matt Targett is very highly rated! Think with 2-3 more good additions they will be OK, certainly can't see them going down!

In response to an above post about our academy I think in the next few years we will be supplying the EPL with a lot of players, as well as our own squad, as we are now starting to bear fruit. Even from the last 2-3 years the likes of Caulker, Livermore & Towsend will all go on to be solid Premiership players, be that for us or elsewhere

The Nicola Berti song?

I feel proper sorry for them, i really do. Can't help but listen to each transfer story break and imagine if that was us, and it so could've been.

No idea what their owner is playing at, i can think of at least three occassions in the last ten years where they've had the makings of a team that could really push and, each time, come the end of the season they sell anyone worth a crap and start again.

The sensible part of me feels sorry for them.

The vindictive, ****y part of me is thinking 'ahahahahaha fuck you' after reading all the shit they've been saying about us on their forums.

Just seen their list of OUT players, gotta feel for the fans.

On the plus side when the new Football Manager comes out that might be a great side to take over with £100m to build a squad of your own in a month

1. Read this thread - it made me giggle http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?51167-The-mess-we-re-in/page2

2. The really interesting post by 'Crab Lungs' is eventually on page 2. About half way down.

I spent the last 5 minutes giggling maniacally at the whole thread.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

Another departure from the Southampton Development Academy For The Top 5 Teams.

But seriously, the talent Southampton is developing is ridiculous and shows up the bigger sides. Aside from Ledders when was the last time our academy produced a top player? They've produced Bale, Shaw, Walcott, Ox and Shearer while we've produced Carr, O'Hara, Stephen Clemence and Dean Marney.

Caulker, Livermore, Townsend, Kane, Bentaleb, Veljkovic and Mason within the last few years suggest some improvement in this area. And if you follow the youth teams you'll see some of England's brightest young players below the age of 18 belong to Spurs such as KWP, CCV, Onomah, Oduwa and Edwards.

Which is why I laugh heartily at their demise. Muhahahahahahahahaha!

Not sure if it's been posted already, but this is a pretty decent article on the whole thing:

Almost gone, almost gone, gone, gone.

Almost gone, almost gone, gone, gone.

I would ask the last Southampton player to leave to turn off the lights but chances are they will have sold the light bulbs to Liverpool by then.
