Saints reveal pre-season plans
9:20am Friday 8th June 2012 in Saints News
Ajax head coach Frank de Boer
SAINTS have confirmed their pre-season schedule, with a home friendly against Ajax highlighting the announcement.
Nigel Adkins' side will warm up for the Premier League campaign by taking on the Dutch giants at St Mary's on Saturday, July 28 (3pm).
They will host Championship outfit Wolves on Saturday, August 4 (3pm), before visiting another second tier outfit, Bristol City, on Tuesday, August 7 (7.45pm).
Italian side Udinese will then come to Southampton, on Saturday, August 11 (midday), for a glamorous-looking friendly. Udinese finished third in Serie A last season, which was enough to qualify them for the Champions League.
Saints will also play two friendlies in France during a seven-day overseas training camp.
They will play on either Wednesday, July 18, or Thursday July 19, against yet-to-be-confirmed opposition.
Saints will then face Ligue 1 team Évian Thonon Gaillard, at the Stade Joseph-Moynat, on Saturday, July 21 (7pm local).
Saints will be based in Évian-les-Bains, on the shore of Lake Geneva, close to the French-Swiss border, for their training camp.
The club had previously confirmed the Markus Liebherr Memorial Tournament will take place on Saturday, July 14, featuring Arsenal and Rangers.
Saints' 2012 pre-season schedule:
Saturday, July 14: Markus Liebherr Memorial Tournament (St Mary's).
Wednesday, July 18/Thursday, July 19: Unconfirmed opposition.
Saturday, July 21: Évian Thonon Gaillard (Stade Joseph-Moynat).
Saturday, July 28: Ajax (St Mary's).
Saturday, August 4: Wolves (St Mary's).
Tuesday, August 7: Bristol City (Ashton Gate).
Saturday, August 11: Udinese (St Mary's).

On another note, how 'family' is the Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup going to be this year, do you think? Last year's was ace and I kind of want to bring my kids along (they're both under-five) but, equally, this year there will be Rangers fans involved. Do you think they'll get into the spirit of it or will they be throwing gravel, cabbages and hot Bovril at us?

Anyhow, after studying theology for three hours, I switched to Catholicism, stole a really good bike - and then went and got forgiveness off the priest at Confession.
Result!

there are so many out there you should try them all and see if one fit's better than the other.
and if you change your mind and join another religion you are automatically forgiven win win.

one stop religion shop on the high street,you can come in and browse all the religions on offer and even have a try to see if one feel's better than the other.
special offer's could include eg the hindhu religion with their belief of reincarnation, the more you pay the higher your likely future would be. maybe 10p to come back as a single cell virus to £100,000 to return as a pro footballer and if you bounce your cheque "skunt" you are.

Hello, nice to see you all again.
As the more perceptive of you have probably realised by now - this is hell, and I am the Devil. Goodevening. You can call me Toby, if you like - we try and keep things informal down here, as well as infernal.
Now, you're all here for eternity, which I hardly need tell you is a sod of a long time, so you get to know everyone pretty well by the end, but for now I'll have to split you up into groups.
Are there any questions?
No, I'm afraid we don't have any toilets, if you'd read your bible you would have seen that it was damnation without relief. So, I'm afraid if you didn't go before you came then you're not going to enjoy yourself very much, but then, I believe that's the general idea.
Right, let's split you up then.
Can you all hear me?
CAN YOU HEAR ME AT THE RACK? Off we go...
Murderers, over here. Looters and pillagers - over there please, thieves if you could join them, and BANKMANAGERS.
Fornicators, if you could step forward - My God there are a lot of you. Could I split you up into adulterers and the rest? Adulterers if you could just form a line in front of that small guillotine there.
AMERICANS, are you here? I'm sorry about this, apparently God had some fracas with your founding fathers and damned the entire race into perpetuity. He sends particular condolences to the Mormans who He realises put in a lot of work. The Skunts, I'm afraid, couldn't be with us - someone's been holding them in purgatory for the last nine months.
Sodomites, over there against the wall.
Atheists, over here please. You must be feeling a right bunch of charlies.
Christians, ah yes, I'm afraid the Jews were right.
Moonies, maniacs, marmite eaters, male models, masochists, mass murderers and masseurs, if you could take a pew at the back - with the Methodists that is.
Now, you're the lot who used to kill whales, is that right? Ah, yes, I must remember - I've got some strips to tear off you bastards later.
Everyone who saw Monty Pythons' "Life Of Brian", I'm afraid He can't take a joke after all.
Alright now, one final thing - we're trying to implement some sort of exchange scheme with the Lord God Almighty, or Cliff as we know him. Some of you will spend a decade in heaven and we're having some angels down here. Now, I hardly need tell you that you will be expected to behave in an exemplary manner, so, I hope you will do the exact opposite - tear off their wings, use their haloes for frisbee practice, that sort of thing.
Well, I have to go now, but Beelzebub here will show you the ropes, chains, and electrodes.

Nipper next door kicked his ball over and came round in a chelski shirt - did the same 2 days later and was wearing spurs colours - I'm old -fashioned and I don't get it! I have interests with other teams: Wimbledon for Father in law, Fulham for Bro in law, Everton for bro and the mighty Bashley but I'm a Saint through and through - just feel uneasy in the Chapel ;)

As an Aetheist I can prove there is no God as if there was the skunts would have been smited, or at the very least liquidised by now. Great set of fixtures, would have like Napoli as my daughters boyfriend hails from there "Man U are my second team" glory hunting little twerp - I like to big it up over him as he hasn't worked out that we lost the second leg of that weird 70's cup thingy to them :D 1- nil sunshine, 1 - nil
I think I'm an athiest too. I mean, I don't believe in god but I do believe in saints.
The only problem for us agnostics in this modern world is that there's so little left not to believe in.

On the friendlys, the positive attitude that makes me believe everyone at the club has as much if not more passion then posters on this site.

In terms of religion, I definitely prefer to think of Saints as a secular club despite the name: all religions, colours and creeds welcome

For the record, like a number of top English clubs, the club was, of course, started by a church; in our case the Anglican Church (St. Marys). However, as the fantastically named Daft Kerplunk points out above, these days we are surely 'all inclusive', which includes the serious posters and the nutters like me. I suppose it means we have to make room for the WUMs, those who think we should all be given free tickets, those who think we should have signed Messi by now, those who will be moaning if we fail to win the Prem and those who sit behind all of us moaning about, well, everything every Saints player does.
Still, at least Mush On The Beach's reminder about Rowan Atkinson's Hell sketch means we don't have to include the Skunts.

Let's keep in touch and try to meet up for at least one of them.
Are any of you other Swiss/French-based fans planning to go? Anyone venturing out from the UK?
No, Slugger, Le Mans doesn't count, but have a good time there. My partner (although Portuguese) grew up in Le Mans, which probably explains why she spends so much of her time going round in circles.
