Skint.

FFS.

We are one of the most depressing teams to support. If we get no investment then we could cease to exist.

Fucking hate football at the minute. Money has killed the game.

Words cannot describe the feeling of despair that shrouds the average Saints fans life at the moment. The future's bleak

ReLOLgated

I thought you were Pompey James?

2 de Mayo Poet saturday, if your about.

What's even better - if it turns out they'd be relegated without the 10 point deduction it comes off next season instead!

never trust an institution with a man called Rupert in charge

good, they beat Reading at Reading earlier in the season, and we really should have won that game, and it means that Forest have a better chance of staying up

Poor Nutwood and Mr and Mrs Bear

Another big decision made by men in suits who don't give a toss about the genuine football fans.

Football seems to be less about the tactics and more about the who has the biggest cheque book.

Most depressing day ever to be a Saints fan :-(

lol, you were originally only about 5k in debt apparently, but the banks decided to clamp down on people using credit.

Also you thought you had won on some shitty technicality, but alas you failed.

Unlucky guys. Tough times.

True. A load of people will lose their jobs due to this, having done nothing wrong. I don't think they will be able to recover. But then again, I know shit all about football (hence supporting Saints).

We won't be the first club to go out of business either.

Come this time next season I wouldn't mind betting there will be a few more clubs going into financial decline.

The fucking FA are a bunch of useless cunts. You only have to look at the Sheff Utd and West Ham plava to see just how fucking crap they are.

The only good thing to come out of this is that there are 3 confirmed people interested in buying the club and the only reason an offer hasn't gone in so far is because they were/are waiting to see the outcome of this season before putting a valued offer in. These aren't consortiums either, actual people with money in their pockets so fingers crossed we can start heading in the right direction again. It's been inevitable for us to go even further down since Lowe came back. Oh well, Saturday should be interesting at least cause I have no idea how the crowd will react. I'm gutted obviously as well, it's only 6 years ago I was on my way to Cardiff for the FA Cup final :(

If southampton ceased to exist who would you support?

========================

HOLY MACKEREL

As a United fan my favourite memory of you lot was that bizarre game where you beat us 3-1 at the dell and we changed shirts at half time. Even though we got absolutely tanked in that first half it was quite funny overall.

Also liked the way the advertising boards were really close to the pitch.

The Dell>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ali Dia>>>St Mary's

Should never have left the Dell.

It doesn't seem that long ago Saints had Alan Shearer and Iain Dowie up front.

big game down the road saturday. cant wait.
after all we've been through, couldnt really see them letting you off.

Fair point about the dell.

Deducted 10 points next year, at least Bournemouth look to be staying up :)

Sleep well, sweet princes of the south coast

Did you go on Saturday? The pitch invasion was embarrassing. Apparently there was a Portsmouth fan in the Burnley end who through the smoke bomb at the Saints fans.

Read this article, great summary of modern football.

The last time I saw Saints was at the Dell.

On a tuesday.

In the rain.

It ended 0-0 and, even about 20 minutes in, we ended up cheering when the pitchside adverts revolved.

That was a nice little blog thing.

Tell tale sign why new dot org is shit - 90% of people have chosen a football team badge to post in threads.


.

That was kind of the point.

Sorry. I'm just in turmoil here.

Saturday was shit, we should've beaten them but fucked it up as usual. Who know's what will happen now

Dot worry. League One isnt that bad. LOLOLOLOLZZ

This weekend, Southampton will move out of the relegation zone.

Rupert Lowe funny guy.

Good turn around. My local club, apart from Bournemouth. Would be good to see them restore the club to glory.

--------------------------------------
I thought you had left?

Fuck off again, this place was much better without your sexual presence ruining it for the rest of us boys. I bet you pack a great cock aswell. CUNT!. fuck off again.

With the -10 removed they'd be doing ok. I doubt they'll go up, but MIGHT get into the playoffs.

We would move out of the relegation zone if it wasn't a cup weekend.

Do you play for them?

Out of the relegation zone.

will finish 7th.

See this is terrible.

Something has to be done. There are a lot of once brilliant clubs going to the wall, and a lot of small clubs buying success only to go the same way in a few years.

The Leeds situation is the prime example, they are far too big a club to be loitering a few divisions down. Then you've got Notts County who are trying to buy their success, which isn't right.

that may be so but after the bad fortunes of county nearly going out of the league and out of existance a few years ago you ask any county fan if the investment is right or wrong and they will either say they dont care (as long as we're winning or that its right.

and in regards to county buying success, that may be so to a point. but masses of money is being sidelined for training facilities, accadamy funds etc. i think the idea is to get players at the moment to get us out of league 2 and 1 while working hard on training and coaching young homegrown tallent and keeping them. if that was the case is that buying success? yes but more morally acceptable

Fair play but it would definitely be fair to say that their chances of doing so without actually having heavy investment are minimal. You said yourself you almost went out of the league. Football is no longer organic, and I guess there is nothing anyone can do about that.

Also, it'd be interesting to see if every English league team is represented by a .orger.

15th!!!
