"Five years of data. Thirteen painstakingly chosen categories. One clear ‘winner’ - Southampton.
The Saints have endured a brutal half-decade: 42 errors leading to goals, nine 90th
-minute winners conceded, and a 55% away -day defeat rate.
The evidence is damning. Southampton fans are, beyond doubt, the most hard-done-byin English football.
Congratulations, Southampton…sort of."
Over to you Nick to:
(a) Put a positive spin on this
(b) Flip it so that it's the moaning fans to blame, and the Club that is hard done by... |  |

To be fair that does make the fact we sell out home and away so regularly even more impressive, we are proper suckers for punishment |  | | |

You've got to laugh or...
I'm not sure about 1 of their categories though. They think that 0-0 draws mean fans are suffering. But as a Saints fan I can think of lots of games where 0-0 would have been wonderful.
I would take out that category and replace it with the number of 9-0 defeats. | | | |

Nothing to do with Sports Republic,it’s all the fans fault, it must be because Nick tells us it is. [Post edited 6 Aug 13:11]

Stats, may not lie (depending on how the data is collected) but the conclusions drawn are often completely misleading.
For example, "there's been a 100% increase in sales of portsmouth season tickets" appears impressive on first sight, but not if they only sold one in 2023 and two in 20024.... |  |

Tha fact that Lpool, Arsenal and man City in the bottom 7 could also be interpreted as some sort of bias to on field decisions? |  |

A. 2019/20 Saints finished 11th, 20/21 finished 15th and reached semi final of the FA Cup, so more like 3 years of being hard done by.
B. The moaning fans are not to blame for results
C. Are we the most hard done by fans in English football, I would say that Sheffield Wednesday fans and Morecambe fans would disagree vehemently on this point and a few other clubs as well |  |

You'd hope over a lifetime it would even itself out, but I'm not holding my breath! | |

"The moaning fans are not to blame for results"
We heard it here first. I bet it actually feels good to say that.
Are you ready to try: "The rot started under Gao, who was a disaster for the Club"?
That could also be cathartic. | |
