Happy Christmas From The Ugly Inside
As we approach our 32nd Birthday in April we would like to wish all those who read and listen to what we have to say, whether they agree with us or not a very Happy Xmas.
Back in April 1988 when the first paper issue of The Ugly Inside hit the streets, little did we know it would still be going 32 weeks later let alone the 32 years we will clock up come the end of this season.
For the first 12 years we were purely a fanzine sold on the streets outside of The Dell and then in 2000 we got into the digital age with this website first appearing online in August of that year.
Four Years ago we launched our You Tube Channel and then at the start of this season we became Radio Stars with our Saints On Saturday with the Ugly Inside show at 10am every Saturday morning on Voice 103 FM.
So as we enter what will frighteningly be our fifth decade of "Giving Saints Fans A Voice" (Count them 80's, 90's 00's 10's & now 20's) we would like to wish all Saints fans a ver Happy Xmas and a great New Year as we head into the roaring 20's.
May you and your families prosper as may your football team, unless of course you are one of our Pompey supporting members, if you are then we extend our good wishes just to you and your families of course but you wouldn't have it any other way.
So once again thank you for your interest, and if you have yet to see our You Tube channel or listened to us on the Radio, then why not make it your New Year Resolution to do so.

Southampton V Stoke City The PreviewSaints go into the last two games of the season with their hopes of automatic promotion ended, even the hope of finishing 3rd is only a point away from being ended, but they do have something to play for and that is getting back the togetherness, character & fight Russell Martin has recently be moaned.
No Togetherness No Character No FightNot my words, but those of Southampton manager Russell Martin, who should ask himself the question why two months ago we had all those attributes and now we don't !
Southampton At Leicester The DebacleThe big question is how can a side that was so tight at the back, so clinical up front and who could pass the ball around almost with their eyes closed, become the disorganised rabble that they were at the Leicester City this evening.
Southampton At Leicester City The PreviewSaints travel up to Leicester knowing that it is almost certain that they will just be in the play offs come the end of the season, however there is still the feint hope of 3rd place to play for, however the Foxes are playing for a bigger prize.
A Rough Guide To Leicester City FCSaints head up to Leicester City this evening with their automatic promotion hopes just about over, so for the 3,000 fans who bought their tickets when there was hope here are the details.
