Arsenal and Rangers set for Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup
SAINTS have confirmed they will face Arsenal and Glasgow Rangers in this season's Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup.
The annual pre-season tournament will take place at St Mary's on July 14 - the same date as the Olympic torch relay is due to pass through the stadium.
Arsenal's attendance, as previously exclusively revealed by the Daily Echo, is part of the deal that saw Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain move to the Emirates last summer.
The tournament sees the three teams compete against each other in a series of round-robin 45-minute matches, with ties decided by spot kicks.
Three points are awarded for a win, two for a victory on penalties and one for defeat in a shoot-out.
The first match, between Saints and Rangers, will kick-off at 5.15pm, with the Olympic torch due in the stadium at 6.20pm.
Arsenal v Rangers will follow at 6.45pm, with Saints and Arsenal clashing in the final fixture, at 8pm.

He would add quality to our side, and in return, we would boost his confidence back up and finish developing him into the player he always showed the promise that he would be.
(I doubt we could get the Ox as well!!)

It would be a good chance to ask Mr Wenger if we could have Theo back on loan for a season. He would add quality to our side, and in return, we would boost his confidence back up and finish developing him into the player he always showed the promise that he would be. (I doubt we could get the Ox as well!!)

Will Rangers be around in July and should Saints be associating with such a dishonest club, they are the pompey of the north

Slugger is our Beagle at border security, if you are an imposter without a passport your bolllocks will be bitten off guaranteed.
Let’s put you to a test, name your last 10 gers captains, name your last 5 English players, Was Willie Johnston the best Gers player in the last 50 years?

RED ARMY-RED ARMY-RED ARMY
We have the Top Boys in the UK
No-one will bother us at St Mary's
... Mill wall tried and ran away.
That is why Supporters and families always feel safe.
From Intel the only two clubs in the South that are aggressive to the MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON are wet spam and Chelski. I guarantee RED ARMY will sort these two sets of Supporters next Season.
WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON and we will support our Club through thick and thin and the WINS next Season.
RED ARMY ARE NUMBER ONE IN THE UK AND THE PREMIERSHIP.
The only thing holding us back is the Quality of the football. Nigel and Nicola have done us proud - but We need to sitting at the Top of the Premiership to match the ambition of our Supporters.
We are Top Quality Supporters - we are not the first club to be promoted to the Premiership so there are many business models out there with regard to wages etc and we trust in Nicola and Nigel to deliver BIG TIME with new players - a good quality goalkeeper - and sorting out the Defence and a goal scoring midfielder so Southampton FC make a massive impact in the Premier League.
NO FEAR - NO SURRENDER
RED ARMY 2012.
WE ARE NUMBER ONE.
FIGHT AND WIN. COYR.
