Diesel all gone at the local Tesco's. Unleaded still plentiful though.

Similar to the Guardian article but also worth a read.

according to wikipedia we awere one of his 28 clubs. That's an impressive number.

I applied to that show. Told them I had an unstable personality and a strong prejudice against Swedish lingerie models. I never got a reply.

Significant sum of money raised at their annual dinner at St Marys last night. I dont think the majority of Saints fans fully appreciate what the organisation does to help people in need, mainly within the more challenging areas of central Southampton. It was pleasing to see that Leo Scienza, Oriole Romeu and Cam Bragg (a future captain of the team?) were in attendance with Leo bidding for a couple of items in the auction. Leo seems to be fully integrated within the club and it will be a shame when he is sold. Also notable that Katarina Liebherr was in attendance. Apparently the players who were in the squad when team last won promotion were given an engraved Rolex watch. One of these was offered up as the last auction item for £50k.

I like the second race where the bloke is disqualified for walking !😄

Seems very abrupt! But interesting insight into his background. Still feels like he needs support on the fitness side for the squad. Some games seems like the players are gassed quite quickly.

Sorry, responding to “shopping” with “window”. Should have turned the page.

Article about Tonda’s background and career, with some interesting insights into his approach and what he learned from working with the German national team: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/mar/07/tonda-eckert-southampton-championship-fulham-fa-cup-fifth-round

If Hull dont win today AND Saints win at WBA, could close the gap to 4 points. Dragging another place up for play-offs.

Can say I’m a big fan of 6 teams but meh. The 4 team playoff format imo is great. I get the notion that all teams should go up on merit, but the chase for top 6 keeps the season alive for many teams. Plus every team knows the rules at the beginning of the season, if you’re not good enough for top two automatics then you go into the lottery.

Boring

Understood. I've been away and all I've seen initially is a load of backlash and people calling Starmer a pussy. So not had the chance to do much reading. Understand that Iran is a terrorist sponsoring state, which could be a reason used for attacking them. Only winners are the oil and energy companies making a quick raise.

I watched that too, and I remember him scoring 4 goals and getting an assist while Juric was here in 8 starts and 4 short sub appearances, ending up as our (admittedly disappointing) top scorer for the season. Imagine how many he'd have got if we'd built the team around him all season, eh? How well Larin has done has only reinforced my view that Onuachu would have been massively effective for us in this league and ended up with over 20 goals. People are forgetting this is the league that players like Ade Akinbiyi got 39 goals in and Steve Howard got 29 goals in. Don't even need to look beyond us to compare Armstrong's record between championship and prem.

Is that the rarely sung second verse that the Northam could never get to scan?

Take the keyboards away, and I reckon you two would get on like a house on fire. He'd be a hybrid of uncle Albert from only fools and Ness from Gavin & Stacey regailing you with unbelievable tales of chance meetings and life experience. You'll be so blown away you'll want to adopt him as your own Uncle SoG, and want to build an annex so he can come and stay a few times a year. It'll be lovely. As for me and Hypo, feck knows how that'll go.

As long as they supply noise cancelling ear buds.

It was never a bad thing that he wanted to know what the actual plan was. It was also right to question the legality given that a) the independent assessors had said that Iran were nowhere near nuke capability and b) there was no imminent threat to the US (and frankly no threat at all. Once Iran started going mental and pinging drones and missiles everywhere, Including towards British interests, supporting the defence of that made sense. He was bang on about not using our runways for the initial strikes though. They were illegal and unjustified, and would have been akin to lending someone your car to go and do a drive by shooting.

So on Iran, is Starmer waiting a good thing now or bad thing? Seems like a number of other countries are hesitant too. I genuinely don't know enough.

We'll inevitably drop a place in the league today, hoping Derby won't improve their goal difference too much, would be a shame to miss out on play offs due to goals scored by Ben Brerton Diaz
