About Southampton

Southampton Football Club is a professional association football club based in Southampton, Hampshire, England, which plays in the Premier League, the top tier of English football.

Their home ground since 2001 has been St Mary's Stadium, before which they were based at The Dell. The club has been nicknamed "The Saints" since its inception in 1885 due to its history as a church football team, founded as St. Mary's Church of England Young Men's Association, and play in red and white shirts. Southampton has a long-standing rivalry with Portsmouth due to its close proximity and both cities' respective maritime history. Matches between the two sides are known as the South Coast derby.

The club has won the FA Cup once, in 1976, and their highest-ever league finish was second in the First Division in 1983–84.

Southampton were relegated from the Premier League on 15 May 2005, ending 27 successive seasons of top-division football for the club. They returned after a seven-year absence, and have played there ever since.

Previous Meeting

Our last game against Southampton was a Premier League fixture in March 2014 at St Mary’s Stadium. We won 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal by Juan Cala.

Hopefully we can put a good shift in get the right result against an unsettled Saints team and put the West Ham game behind us , onwards and upwards

You are my Cardiff !

The unsettled Saints team gave Spurs a good go tonight. New manager syndrome means this is the worst time to play them. I am very fearful of this game. Can we score first? Anything other than defeat and I'll be over joyed.

I think we will just about win this one. 2-1.

Bore draw for me 0:0

No offence,but huddersfield had 22 shots to 5 and 63% possession away at Bournemouth, and still lost,I believe a defeat in this manner,does more harm than good,just my opinion of course.

2-0 to the bluebirds

5-1 to the mighty bluebirds

Just had a read through the Southampton forum. The following are expected by them to be injured or not playing:

Bertrand, Cedric, Ings, Long and Gallagher.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett; Gunnarsson, Camarasa, Arter; Mendez-Laing, Murphy, Paterson.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Valery, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Targett; Romeu, Hojbjerg; Armstrong, Lemina, Redmond; Austin.

0-0 for me,poor conditions and a game both sides don’t want to lose.

Very poor finishing and decision making in pen area should be 3 or more up will it be costly? They are not very good but will he get them playing better hope not......

Agreed. Really can't see the Saints getting a goal. I have a feeling the one goal will win it for us. we hold be able to do that against this team.
