Is tomorrow MSGA (Make Southampton Great Again)? Do we finally smash the 13 point mark.
Should we have an open top bus round the city celebration commemorating the great work SR are doing on reaching the land mark? And why not celebrate Goztepes success in reaching 10th in the Turkish league. This wouldnt have been possible without the support of Southamptons. |  |

No we celebrate the fact that we support Southampton Football Club, owners come and go, but the football club remains the constant.
Why not stop bitching about Goztepe and Sport Republic and take pride in ourselves rather than make ourselves a laughing stock as we slink out of St Mary's with 20 minutes to go and the visiting supporters singing "Is this a fire drill" |  |

If we're all heading back to the boozer with 20 minutes still to go on Saturday, Fulham will have just scored their third without reply. I struggle to celebrate or take pride in that. |  |

The team might something to be proud of, but the Club is, not the owners but the club itself, as I said Ipswich did not leave in droves last weekend when 3-0 down.
Even 20 years ago when we were relegated going 3-0 down didn't trigger mass exits with 20 minutes to go.
It is a modern invention, the so called 3 goal rule, same as made up cardboard signs asking for a players shirt, taking selfies of the game going on behind you, taking photographs of players taking corners.
Call me old fashioned but I was brought up watching football when we stayed to the bitter end or at least till the final 5 minutes.
I can understand a 20 year old storming out, it is all they know, but in 1994 at Norwich City as we sank towards relegation, and we went 3-1 down on the hour mark, no one stormed out and we eventually won 5-4 and stayed up.
1999 at home to Blackburn, 2-0 down on 38 minutes, 3-1 down on the hour minutes and Blackburn running the game and taking the p*ss everyone stayed and got behind the team and we got back to 3-3 and almost won it.
Those were great games were the Spirit of Southampton did really exist back then, don't say now its about the owners, the manager and poor players, we had that in spades in 1999, Rupert Lowe, Dave Jones and the likes of El Khalej, Solvedt, Boa Morte, Mark Hughes, Stuart Ripley all underperforming.
Things were different back then I accept that, but that does not make today's football right and the so called 3-0 rule is not something to be proud of.
But don't worry I said all these things 2 years ago and then last May everyone turned up at Wembley and sang Southampton Till I Die, which this season should be Southampton till theyre 3 goals down. | |

I might stay the whole game tomorrow to make sure I avoid all the traffic. |  | | |

Of course I get what you're saying, but the game has changed massively as have the clubs and the fans supporting them.
I love and care about Southampton Football Club, but I'm happy to admit I don't have that connection with the club anywhere near as much as I used to, despite still following them up and down the country most weeks.
I wouldn't have dreamt of leaving early 5+ years ago, but find myself doing it more and more now. Funnily enough, I don't particularly enjoy going when we get dicked week after week without putting up any sort of a fight. If people want to criticise that or say I'm not a true fan by doing so, I'm not bothered in the slightest. I think it's weird that people stay to the end to clap the players when you've just got smashed 5-0 at home to Brentford, but that's up to them.
Another mitigating factor is I'm struggling more and more to put up with the people I'm surround by at games. It's been happening at away games for a few years now and since I made the grave mistake of moving to the Northam Wall this season, it's been massively amplified. I don't like any of their songs or their banter and it makes it really hard for me to have pride in us when we've got so many gimps following us. I find it embarrassing. | |

I’m an armchair fan and I don’t remember giving up and turning off the TV as often as I have this season.
I know it’s a different kettle of fish but I don’t know how people who actually go to games have stuck it out this season.
Watching Saints lose every week is so boring. |  |
