I am English and a Southampton soccer supporter in the English premier league,a small battling club, now before all you non soccer fans stop reading let me explain, last year the big clubs Liverpool, Manchester United and a club called Tottenham raided our club of our top players including the captain and our manager, we were basically without a team of any names and no leadership on the park, talk of relegation and club being sold, the owner has no idea on soccer and its going to be a hell Of a mess.
We finished 9 th I think it was last year which was a great result.
Well we recruited smartly, probably spent just over half of what we got for the exodus, the owner kept quiet through it all, a new manager was aquired a month before the season, good players bought in but apparently not of the calibre that left, a few of the juniors were given games , admittedly we are known as a club with one of the most successful at development.
Well 8 games in 5 wins 1 draw and 2 losses and we are 3rd and just had the biggest win ever in the premier league 8-0.
This group probably only got together as a team maybe 3 weeks before the season started.
Does anyone see a mirror image of this club and ours over the off season ?
So for all you fans and Robbos and Barrets of this world who think it might be doom and gloom , it's not its new, its exciting, its exhilarating and I suggest we all buy membership and watch as in the words of The great EJ we "stick it right up em"
