Charlie Austin took an X-rated swipe at fans of that lot up the road.
The striker last night wrote in a post on Twitter – that’s now been deleted – that Southampton supporters ‘don’t sing to get behind the team’.
After bemoaning the negative impact of social media, some followers of the St Mary's outfit took exception, with one replying: ‘Didn't think when you insulted our whole fanbase and club did it tho chazza.’
Austin scored 20 goals in 81 appearances after arriving for £4m from QPR in 2015.
Yet the West Brom forward didn’t hold back with his retort and lambasted Southampton fans.
He claimed they don’t back their team when they need a lift in games.
Austin tweeted: ‘You’re s*** fans, you don’t sing to get behind the team only when they score never when they need a boost.’
