not a rumour
just to say
rip ron davies what a great player
in his timr at saints
will never br forgotten
one of the all time greats atsaints
thank you

Well said sir. A big loss to saints and football overall.
StGavin

Well said.

As a Cardiff City fan I'd like to second this. Ron was a terrific centre forward both on the ground and in the air. Fantastic for Wales, too. If only we had someone like him next season I'd fancy us to stay up.

Ron was amazing - he still soars high!

So sorry to hear this, what he achieved playing for Saints was quite remarkable, 37 goals in the top flight in one season including 4 goals at Old Trafford, a wonderful player-RIP

As Saints Fans we should show a little more decorum. Yes it's exciting times at the moment, seemingly with money and the powers that be on the board. But let's reel it in a bit! We have only just come up to the prem again and for a lot of it we looked shakey. We will hopefully get more players in over the summer which will help us cement our position in the countries elite! But let's not be left with egg on our faces spouting all the recent crap we have, it's great to have ambitious targets like Europe but we're talking as if it is assured we will be there! I'm not saying have hopes and dreams but let's just go about our business with a bit of class which MP and NC seem to be doing! It's our fans that are making people laugh at us!

I'm not entirely sure it is only our fans who are posting some of the stuff to try to make us look ridiculous. Plus some of the posters will be school children and trollers which will just be either fifa players or trying to make us look moronic. However I agree with this for some saints fans who have been getting a bit over the top recently.

On the other hand, we have numpties saying, you'll never get him or him bla bla bla'. All it takes to be successful is money. we ahve plenty as well as a great infrastructure, academy, fan base, manager and chairman. What's not to get carried away with? COYR!

Southampton have never been a big, we have always been a small club. When we went down we had some class players but they didn't live up to their ability that season, we went down in 2005 amd had massive debt problems. We have always been a small club maybe not to our low position in the prem all the time but because we spent 27 years hanging on in there, we also had big names at our club and come through your youth academy, but they could't wait to leave one I know everybody will know is Alan S who played for newcastle and was probably one the beat strikers in the prem ever! after he left us Our academy is the small'est in england and works on bringing british, ill repeat BRITSH! Youth through, unlike most clubs as we can't a get any foreigners our youth players are laughed at on a daily bases, admittedly some players won't make it but ryan seager seems to be an up and coming striker already putting 5-7 goals away at youth level in a season. Another reason we are not a big club is we have one of the biggest capations of support in country, but we don't all live right next to the staduim a lot of fans live in Gambia or places like that! We could easily have 2 thousand supports in our staduim maybe even 5 thousand at a push but money speaks and its well know saints supporters are tight and to make a long journey and pay the money, a drf no no look at the wembley trip for example JPT I think it was at least 5 thousands fans that day and the other fans packed out their side we could probably had more that day could of been around 8 thousand. Small club? At the moment yeah we are but it doesn't mean just because we are we can't sign big players, 5ft at least footballers like to be playing not sat on a bench and going to one of these so called big headed person of a club doesn't mean they automatically play so no we can sign some big names just not all and we wont. This is a rumour site so clue is in the name. Look at bayern munich and BVB they sell their tickets at low, low prises so get thousands of fans each gane 80 thousand for dortmand on avergae a game we could have about 6 I reckon if we had a well built, well placed staduim wih cheap ticket prises, instead of a lego stadium yeah small club, no but half of these big clubs are supported by REAL FANS! We have plastic fans, so nobs who say we are small, do one you obv know your football and its history!

The laughable thing about the post is your wanting attention for your small club down the road, look at you and your jealousy I mena come you didn't have to turn what I said in to how crap Portmouth Fc is? I know you only get 8 thousands supports a game and when you won't he FA cup you turnes in a s***ty littleclub that has died away into nothing ajd your right a bout your acadamy, I mean not even JWP wantee to go there and he supports them. Damn I mean it must be a sad say for all portsmouth fans when yoi realise the biggest game you will see in yoir lives again will be against northampton town. while the saints have crowds of 32 thousand a game, I think you forgot to change the name saints to portsmouth because the above sounds more like you as I think half your plastuc fans are going to support the club in the premier league : ( shame you had to tell us the sad story about the fall of such a prestigues club. LOL mate go support your team playing in league to god knows your only jealous because you have to us our training ground to train, pfft please the most you can do is get trampled over by the big teams in league 2 good luck down there and don't forget the biggest thing you will ever get maybe the johnson paint trophy not laughing when you win it, the story of a jelaous club, portsmouth fc in all its s*** glory. Oh btw Skate! DEAL WITH IT boring nob

LufacrusS {Ed001's Note - and Southampton fans wonder why people think they are arrogant! You do yourself no favours lad, your original post was bad enough, but this rant is just making it worse. Try showing some humility.}

What even are these posts? Terribly written and make no sense. Eds?

Ed, why do you post these pointless essays from pathetic little fans?

Just ignore them - everybody else does.

Ed. , do you really think this is a Saints fan? Suspect such tosh comes from someone with a real problem, so don't be too hard on the "person". Best not to post such stuff, and starve them of the oxygen they crave.

Southampton JPT Final attendance 73,000 with saints fans reported by tv asking for more tickets. As for the rest of the original post that appears to be written by a delinquent. what the hell is he going on about the average attendance was 30,000 with the lowest attendance being 26,000?

I would hazard a guess that the epic poster has done all his homework & tidied his room & now he`s bored!
get a freakin life kid.

Saints took around 50,000 to Wembley which is a record attendace for a club at wembley and we sold out our last 8 home games

'and Southampton fans wonder why people think they are arrogant?'. err, no we don't. No one ever says we are arrogant unless they have an obvious gripe with us for some other reason, like being a jealous pompey fan or a bored website administrator whos fed up with being stuck editing the Southampton page. {Ed001's Note - actually I have to delete hundreds of posts a day across the sites calling Southampton fans arrogant.}
