Police launch criminal investigation into Reform UK donations - BBC News

I totally agree. He was inspirational.

Nah, not irrelevant at all. Roerslev -> Bree Fraser -> Scienza Archer -> Larin ...are all massive upgrades, and Still -> Tonda is probably the most important of all, because Still was so tactically inept he could have had the best squad in the world and he wouldn't have had a clue how to use it.

Made a cracking start at Auxerre though, really proving the doubters wrong

in a 5-3 saints win

Throughout history there's been many piss stains that have unfortunately got themselves into a position of power. We are blessed to be living in a time where there seems to be quite a few about now, and this orange tard is right up there.

I thought I noticed him backing in a bit more once or twice last night, trying to hold off his man and hold it up. Only in a few flashes to be fair, but getting slightly more involved in physical battles. I agree we definitely need to see more out of him, but I also think that Tonda and his team have the ability to improve players if the raw materials are there to work with. Time will tell, but fingers crossed that with some good coaching and three weeks on the training ground over the international break we'll start to see him make more of an impact in the areas we need him to once Larin's off the pitch.

and the Swansea penalty looked pretty soft, whereas Leo was clearly pushed, but the defender got away with it as the ref. didn't see it from his position.

With tickets going on sale today, how many do you think we'll take there on a cold Wednesday in October?

And I agree, you need to vary how you play. Suck em in, play over em. etc But you'll notice what many teams do is artificially start as a goal kick in free play. They'll play back to the keeper from a forward and crowded area, split centre half's wait for press and make the pitch bigger. Rather than essentially play a keep ball 6v6 in 30 yards where you're very likely to lose the ball. But in the final thirty yards the risk/reward changes as you have more chance of an artificial transition/counter press to break down a deep block and get in behind them.

The smugglers were driven to try a much longer and dangerous route by the crackdown along the French, Dutch, Belgian and German coasts. There will be a sinking soon if they keep experimenting with longer routes and the forecast turns. Blood on the smugglers hands. They don’t care as long as they make money.

I think inevitably there is a bit of nature and nuture - you'd be up shit creek trying to train Archer to play as a traditional big man Championship hold up striker. But as someone suggested to me last week there is more than one way to hold the ball up; you can run into space sideways to receive and then take chasers down the channels or out to the byline while your team mates catch up or get their breath.

Grammar also appears to be the old lady he fondled at Southampton Central pools when he was a nipper.

I of course have my own views. But I wouldn't be going in just to push my own agenda. For example, if there was an ongoing issue with stewarding in the Chapel stand, that wouldn't be something I'm aware of or that affects me as a STH in the Northam. My point being, I will be actively seeking the views of others to ensure as many fans as possible have a voice and as many issues as possible are resolved. You've completely misunderstood everything I've said on here, X and the website if you think I'm not going to be challenging towards the club where necessary. That's exactly what I'd be prepared to do. Obviously if you feel someone else is better suited to the role than me, and that they'd be better than me, please vote for them. The point is to get the best people possible into that room.

They were robbed

Embarrassing human

It would be nice for Mubama to surprise some people. I haven't really seen anything yet to suggest he will but it's still early days. Last night in the second half we were getting quite a lot of space and able to play some nice through balls which should in theory play to his strengths so from a developmental point of view it would have been good to get him on a bit earlier. I'd be a bit concerned about using the argument about how we learn to use him properly. He's a 20 year old kid with very little senior experience and it's up to him to adapt to the way we play. Obviously there's a bit of nuance in the argument but fundamentally we shouldn't be having players that are so limited that they can't adapt to the way we play.

One major differentiation between Operation Iraqi Freedom and the boats crossing the Channel is that currently in the UK it is the people doing the "defending" that are smashing things up.

That home game against Pompey was a fucking disgrace

Scineza, Jander and Stewart on the bench, with us thumping it up to Archer, Fraser in ahead of Scienza, Bree farmed out on loan somewhere. Terrible wasnt it. Still was so bad.

Any win with a clean sheet would be perfect.

Bazunu v Peretz. Everything else is irrelevant (except Still).

Nah.
