Someone needs to teach Southampton fans the football food chain:-

Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool sell their best players to the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona

Southampton sell their best players to the likes of Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool rarely do business with each other as they are in direct competition.

It's not rocket science FFS.

I actually like Southampton, they are doing a lot right but they are basically West Ham right now. They are ambitious and doing well but Spurs are building too, albeit from a higher starting point, especially now MoPo the disingenuous lego head is here to guide us, cheers for that lads (y)

Didn't our money for Bales buy out clause Pretty much save them from administration? They should be thanking us they are still in existence

I'll go to my grave hating Madrid for buying Bale from us...

I don't agree with the Southampton hate, but goddamn it I respect it.
I don't really have a problem with them hating us

My question is more why it's directed at us and doesn't really seem to be projected on to Arsenal or Liverpool in the same way

We took Hoddle and Richards years ago - half the forum fans probably don't even recall

Bale and Poch with failed deals for MS and potentially stealing the march for Tobi A

But why do they detest us so much more than Arsenal after Walcott, Ox, and Chamberlain or Liverpool for all the players they'd signed in the last year including Clyne now

Sounds a lot like his agent is playing it safe to be honest, especially with the legal situation possibly still playing out. I wouldn't worry too much.

Brilliant stuff guys. I do laugh when our own fans think we are bigger than we are but the suggestion that they are any where near us in terms of achievement over the course of history or that they are a bigger draw in any way now is just ludicrous. Who was the last player they signed from us? Lee Barnard I think. Says it all...

Hey, he's pinched my pet name for Koeman. Pah...If it makes him feel better about things....

When you think about it, there's a lot of Lego headed managers about... Steve Bruce for example, he looks like a a wee brunette haired lego man was held over a birthday candle for two minutes.
