Having been knocked out in their first round of both cups, and with no European competition, they will play just 40 competitive matches this season, which is their lowest since the First World War, apparently.

https://not606.com/threads/southampton-v-hull-city.421852/post-18887767 "If we’re going up we need to win these sort of games. They have some good players but they’re a **** team. As long as we turn up and actually put a performance in we should have too much for them." A fair post by a Hull fan but really emphasises SR's failings in building a competitive "team"

Why? We're not going up this season and we're unlikely to go down. What do they need our support for? The players attitude hasn't been good enough - why should we cheer them on? Ekhert isn't good enough why does he deserve support? I've supported this club through everything for a very long time, but I've never felt so detached from the team, manager and owners as I do now.

We’ve been abysmal but we need to get behind the players and Ekhert.

Just seen that Ipswich travel to Wrexham on 14th for their FA Cup tie ahead of their next league game on 21st which is a trip to Wrexham.

You don't think the current Championship top scorer scores goals!

The recruitment team will certainly be watching a youtube highlight of each of these players. Signing announced soon.

Imagine knowing exactly who he is, but calling him “the typing guy” and the “the grumpy typing fella” just to be a condescending prick because you don’t like the way he calls out the ineptitude at the club.

Its an excellent podcast and I never miss an episide. I was a little disappointed this week that they didn't ask Alfie about the tweets that he has been making recently. He has made damning allegations about some of the players but these were never mentioned on the pod.

I can remember back to the early 60s, Ted Bates and promotion to Div 1 It was a real sport in those days kids entry was 2/6 ie12.5bp and adults was 5/- 25p. It was a truly affordable day out then and money hadn't taken the game over. we really used to enjoy the game in those days. Probably as others have said the end really came when we lost most of our best players to Liverpool and couldn't compete with the money thereafter. Unfortunately nowadays it's all about money ; but a good manager and sensible recruitment can still compete. However we have lacked that and it now seems that the academy can no longer produce the talent it used to as other clubs have caught up. I really admire clubs such as Bournemouth Brighton Brentford and Crystal Palace for succeeding against all odds. It's just a shame we have lost that ability. I stopped enjoying Saints a few years ago but I can't get them out of my system, my wife thinks it ridiculous that I am still bad tempered for a while at 78 when they suffer a bad loss. The only good thing this season is that I'm able to watch them on TV more often but unfortunately that has turned out to be a double edged sword as we can't seem to play well for more than 45 minutes. Please excuse the witterings of a grumpy old man.

They discussed it and was answered for you. Maybe ask the club directly? For clarity, the chaps on TSP are having a discussion, like we are, as fans. They do not work for the club. 😂

No. He scores goals.

Challenge accepted (by SFC)

well im not sending roses to any saints players..............oh wait loved ones

That's you light years ahead of SR's recruitment team. 🙂

There was a bubble for the League game there in 2011.

No bubble last time. But that was nigh on impossible for an evening game.

It was a good game. Portsmouth had a decent spell in the second half, so at 2 up Saints still had to focus. Brazil stood out. But plenty of decent players. Ferguson and McAlonie continue to look like good buys. Another Mott shout out. Already knows where the pass is going, as she gets it. Crowd sounded good too. It would be great to see that as a platform for every game.

Another shout for Billy Bob Thornton, this time in Landman - incredible. Tom Hardy in pretty much any role he's done, pure class.

Decent article on CNN about Trump's selective view on the sanctity of protests. I hadn't appreciated that he'd floated the idea of shooting protesters in the US. https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/12/politics/protests-iran-trump-rescue

I went to Fratton Park for both premier league games in the 2000's. Ive never had a season ticket so it must have to got to members or whatever system we had then. Never had the bubble then. So what's changed? Was the bubble in place for the league cup the other year?
