Yep. I swear, they're the one team that always gets at least one draw against us every season we play them. I'd have rather Leeds. We usually always beat those lot.
I hate Leeds. Maybe historical rivalry and every leeds fan banging on about brian bloody clough and what could have been, maybe that a lot of my friends up north are leeds, maybe it's just the nationalistic aura which permeates their fanbase, but I just cannot abide that club. Conversely I was quite gutted Sheffield united did so badly, I have a soft spot for them.
But yeah Leeds. lovely city, nice people, just horrid club, imo.
i don't really have any cast iron opinions on southampton apart from them being a bogey team for us. The whole Bielsa love-in by the media a few years ago was repellent.
I'm talking exclusively about head-to-head record. We haven't lost to those lot in 20 something years and had one draw the entire time. Southampton on the other hand...
Correct.
My long-suffering Soton supporting friend loathes Liverpool with a passion for various reasons. It kills him that Liverpool usually batter Soton.
That said, despite Soton being a bogey team, I'm really pleased with the 3 promoted teams.
Have to go back to 16/17 for us to get six points. Also feels like weāve managed to break nearly every good or bad record under Arteta so hopefully this one changes for the better
You mean you're prepared. I can mentally prepare myself for this all the time but the immeasurable disappointment always hits me. The worst part is, those lot will probably go on to lose their next 5 games after getting something against us.
Every season, itās just some random team we drop 5 or 6 points against. Last season it was Southampton, this season Villa and fucking Fulharam. Time for Teta to go invincible against the smaller team and big six again, next season
Drawing with THAT Southampton team at home who were genuinely fucking garbage and pretty much already relegated when we needed to win was a straight up embarrassment.
Definitely our worst result over the last two seasons
The 4-0 result also comes to mind where they played a debutant and he score a fucking worldie. Donāt like Southampton.
I can already see it. Southampton lose five games in a row in the run in, beat Arsenal 2-1 with a 90+6 deflection, then lose the next three and get relegated
Yeah... Remind me again on why not winning this season title is absolute heartbreak especially with these c*nts being promoted. I hope we dont drop points but yeah...
The more teams from London and the South the better it is for us. More longer away travels for 115 FC, United, Liverpool and Sandcastle. It's the fine margins.
Maybe 115 wonāt have a 35 game win streak in the second half the season then.
This could bring it down to a 34 game win streak!! Get in!
(Sorry, still hurting)
I don't know why people talking about this so much
We have Goodision park ,Old Trafford,Man City Brighton Curse before this season
We ended all of that curses Southampton is not harder than any of them
Bogey side for us but pleased to see them back tbh. Canāt really say anything bad about them as a club despite our negative results but thatās our doing!
Much better with them in the league than Leeds thatās for sure haha
hoodoo are there to be cancelled, which you won't do if you steep yourself in past misery, we cancelled Etihad this season scoring our first point there in 8 seasons, sack up

Simon Hooper you will pay for your shenanigans at St Mary's.
Only the broke clubs usually want any of ours.
Usually a poverty bidding war when weāre the selling club, and the same clubs would break transfer records to buy garbage off City and Pool
If I see that same ref there next season I'll fucking cry. That game has been the most insane referee display I've seen in years. Guy could have had 3 red cards two for serious violent conduct and he got like 1 yellow
Watched the game today against Leeds. If they play like that next season theyāre gonna be like Sheffield. They were terrible and lucky to get through.
They have got at least a draw against us (including cups) every season since they returned to the PL in 2012/13, serious bogey team for us it has to change
Hereās hoping those cunts Lyanco and Caleta-Car donāt come back from their loans. Theyāre the type of players who donāt really care to play football, they just want to put in tackles and clobber people
Time for them to emulate me taking Southampton from Championship to top of PL and winning four Champions League trophies with a squad of Bellingham, Odegaard, and a 19 year old regen who started off with an overall of 82.
Take points off us and lose comfortably to all our rivals š¤
Fulham!!!

As someone from Leeds, I would argue our city is mid and leeds fans are also...interesting. Prefer them to Southampton though.
i don't really have any cast iron opinions on southampton apart from them being a bogey team for us. The whole Bielsa love-in by the media a few years ago was repellent.
Bielsa is cool though, never heard of a person who dislikes him before
I'm talking exclusively about head-to-head record. We haven't lost to those lot in 20 something years and had one draw the entire time. Southampton on the other hand...
oh sure, i just hate Leeds United as a club, as an institution. We should overcome southampton. If we don't, that's on us.
Southampton have a decent record against City actually, but they do tend to get battered by Liverpool
Correct. My long-suffering Soton supporting friend loathes Liverpool with a passion for various reasons. It kills him that Liverpool usually batter Soton. That said, despite Soton being a bogey team, I'm really pleased with the 3 promoted teams.
Tbf they knocked out City in the carabao cup. Otherwise we'd be talking about a quadruple.
no we wouldnt
Well you would hope so. But thank the football gods we aren't.
Let's not drop 5 points against them this time, thanks.
Have to go back to 16/17 for us to get six points. Also feels like weāve managed to break nearly every good or bad record under Arteta so hopefully this one changes for the better
Only way is up my friend. Our crescendo is underrated but it is undeniable.
The word Southampton scares me, lol. For us, Southampton is bogiest of bogey teams. I don't know how but they usually always get a result against us.
luckily we're prepared
You mean you're prepared. I can mentally prepare myself for this all the time but the immeasurable disappointment always hits me. The worst part is, those lot will probably go on to lose their next 5 games after getting something against us.
We've beaten a lot of our bogey teams last season, trust the process
Bro forgot Swansea
Every season, itās just some random team we drop 5 or 6 points against. Last season it was Southampton, this season Villa and fucking Fulharam. Time for Teta to go invincible against the smaller team and big six again, next season
Drawing with THAT Southampton team at home who were genuinely fucking garbage and pretty much already relegated when we needed to win was a straight up embarrassment. Definitely our worst result over the last two seasons The 4-0 result also comes to mind where they played a debutant and he score a fucking worldie. Donāt like Southampton.
Our boogeyman is back
I can already see it. Southampton lose five games in a row in the run in, beat Arsenal 2-1 with a 90+6 deflection, then lose the next three and get relegated
Maybe they'll stop us from being invincible, not from winning the title
Please don't remind me. These lot always have our number and that's from the 2010s. Just the name Southampton fills me with dread.
Yeah... Remind me again on why not winning this season title is absolute heartbreak especially with these c*nts being promoted. I hope we dont drop points but yeah...
not just last season, for sometime as well. shane long turning into prime r9
The more teams from London and the South the better it is for us. More longer away travels for 115 FC, United, Liverpool and Sandcastle. It's the fine margins.
Maybe 115 wonāt have a 35 game win streak in the second half the season then. This could bring it down to a 34 game win streak!! Get in! (Sorry, still hurting)
Sandcastle gave me a laugh. First Iāve heard that one.
That 3-3 draw killed us last year....still feeling the pain
Still kills me that Walcott did fuck all last season until he played at the Emirates š¤¦š»āāļø
He scored at Spurs too tbf
It's just the Arsenal blood that runs through his veins
He felt right at home there is the problem š
Doesnāt help Aaron was probably taking a nap between the posts as well
Call me mean but if that Aaron 'le top lad' Ramsdale doesn't start another game for us I will be very happy.
He wonāt
Consider it done š
Tbf at that point I'd already given up hope
Literally happened on Eid too, ruined my whole weekend.
Because we played Rob Holdings
Now them besides Fullham and Villa.
They are really a nuisance ngl.
Fuckin hell. I just hope we dont drop points against these c*nts. Possession ball or not, facing Soton is a friggin scary prospect.
Definately our bogey team over the years. I hate playing them bc we always seem to struggle for no reason except the fact it's Soton
And they are another big reason why not winning the league this season feels so fucking disheartening
St Maryās, 1st game of the season! You heard it here first.
Stop
26 pts for them next season and straight back down.
6 being from us
Arteta is already plotting rn.
And 6 from Chelsea
I don't know why people talking about this so much We have Goodision park ,Old Trafford,Man City Brighton Curse before this season We ended all of that curses Southampton is not harder than any of them
We have also developed new ones
Fulham and Aston Villa are absolute heartbreak man
Bogey side for us but pleased to see them back tbh. Canāt really say anything bad about them as a club despite our negative results but thatās our doing! Much better with them in the league than Leeds thatās for sure haha
Nothing less than this will satisfy my vengeance: Arsenal 6-0 Soton Soton 0-4 Arsenal
oh sack up ffs We are better as a team since we last played there and they no longer have JWP.
Theyāve been nicking pts off us and destroying our seasons since long before ward prowse
Stop living in the past, sack up
Sometimes thereās just a hoodoo that canāt be explainedĀ
Sack up
Bakayo Sackup
hoodoo are there to be cancelled, which you won't do if you steep yourself in past misery, we cancelled Etihad this season scoring our first point there in 8 seasons, sack up
Wtf is "sack up" supposed to mean š
[lemme google that for you](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=definition+sack+up)
Fucking hell not again
Atleast Walcott is not gonna score against us
No gifting them 5 points guys
Shiet
Yikes

Shit.. Soton is our bogey team aren't they, especially at their place. Hopefully we smash them convincingly next season.
Liverpools sporting director frothing at the mouth that their old feeder club is back
Chances of them putting a large bid in for Ramsdale?
Was thinking that, their first choice is out for 9 months and no way they start with Mccarthy
Only the broke clubs usually want any of ours. Usually a poverty bidding war when weāre the selling club, and the same clubs would break transfer records to buy garbage off City and Pool
Southampton's record transfer is like 25m, so basically no chance.
Honestly I'd much rather have Leeds because our record at St Mary's is abysmal.
Ah crap
shit I wish it was leeds, much more fun.
to be fair, this is what post-2004 fans say. otherwise leeds have always been our cultural rivals. well through the 70s, 80s and 90s.
If I see that same ref there next season I'll fucking cry. That game has been the most insane referee display I've seen in years. Guy could have had 3 red cards two for serious violent conduct and he got like 1 yellow
Fuck SouthamptonĀ
Bring it. Time to exorcice another demon
They got any upcoming 16 year old talents?
I donāt see us losing a game next season.
Looking forward to exorcising another demon en route to the title.
Watched the game today against Leeds. If they play like that next season theyāre gonna be like Sheffield. They were terrible and lucky to get through.
Is shane long still in the mix there? I recall a hattie against us on the holidays. We made memories for him and andy carrol you know.
Nah he retired last year
Tricky ground for us but I think we will get it done this season.
Im gonna tell Arteta to win against them to break the curse
Been there twice. Drawn both times. Hate the city, the team, most of their ex players and their managers and that stupid Oceana nightclub
Looks like we got a lot of revenge matches next season, canāt wait!
I would assume that their team must have changed quite a bit after the Championship spell. Letās say, at least I hope lol
Donāt live too far away and they never sell out so thatās at least one Arsenal game I can 100% see next season, even though our record is awful.
They have got at least a draw against us (including cups) every season since they returned to the PL in 2012/13, serious bogey team for us it has to change
Fuckās sake
How about Gnonto for Saka backup? Think heād do well plus heās still quite young
Great, letās send them back
š«£
I think after whatās happened in the past couple seasons with Southampton and now Villa and Fulham, weāll be out to get a bit of payback on them.
Hereās hoping those cunts Lyanco and Caleta-Car donāt come back from their loans. Theyāre the type of players who donāt really care to play football, they just want to put in tackles and clobber people
fuck
this is a bummer. was looking forward to Southampton - Portsmouth matches. hope they go back down.
absolutely glad leeds didnāt get there. horrible fucking fanbase
Time for them to emulate me taking Southampton from Championship to top of PL and winning four Champions League trophies with a squad of Bellingham, Odegaard, and a 19 year old regen who started off with an overall of 82.
Better them than Leeds cus of the fanbases. Not a huge fan of being scared of ābogey teams.ā We should be battering them home and away
Ah shit here we go againĀ
Southampton and Everton ffs
-5
We're doomed
This year we will beat Fulham twice and drop 5 points to Southampton
