Southampton fans have taken to Twitter following the club’s tweet regarding the 0-9 defeat to Leicester earlier this season, and it’s safe to say that they found the funny side of it.
The Saints’ official account posted a video of them muting certain words on Twitter, where they then added ‘0-9’, ‘nine’, ‘haha nine’, ‘hahahahahahaha nine’ and ‘9-0’ to the list of phrases they don’t want to view prior to the trip to the King Power Stadium this weekend.
As you’ll probably remember, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men suffered the joint-largest defeat in Premier League history back in October when Brendan Rodgers’ side recorded a 0-9 win over them at St Mary’s.
In anticipation of that scoreline being mentioned this week, Southampton’s official Twitter account ensured that they won’t be seeing any related words in the build-up to this weekend’s game in hilarious fashion.
In addition to that, the words ‘Pompey’, ‘Portsmouth’ and ‘Welcome to Liverpool’ were also found amongst the club’s muted words to add further hilarity to the tweet – the latter phrase relating to the fact that Jurgen Klopp’s side have pinched the likes of Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Sadio Mane from them in the past.
Let’s see how the Southampton fans on Twitter reacted to the funny post…
This supporter said that they “laughed so hard” at the club’s post, while also branding it as a “class tweet”.
These two fans also expressed their adoration over the Saints’ creative Twitter post, with Jonathan calling it “brilliant” while Caroline said “love this” – it seems the tweet went down extremely well.
Additionally, a couple more superlatives were sprinkled on Southampton’s tweet with Kirsty describing it as “class” – another went as far as calling it “genius”.
