Where did I put this on you? I'm talking about what Ratcliffe said.

Can you have concerns about the rate of demographic change and about a large influx of foreigners without being accused of not liking brown people? I have concerns about the rate of change over the last twenty years but the idea that I hate brown people is clearly a nonsense.

Can people stop replying to this thread? Every time I see his name on the board, I assume there's a new injury reported 😟

Well, it's not a generation ago, it's 5 years ago apparently. Again, if you don't like brown people then people shouldn't have voted for Brexit.

Maybe it will be the last chance to wear the commemorative shirt?!

Are we being colonised? Shouldn’t people be called out for talking bollocks and deliberately misrepresenting facts? Not in your world as you obviously believe that rubbish.

I notice he's not stupid; not one of the knee-sliders on Tuesday!

Have we ever worn yellow in a home game before? I remember the random special white shirt we had at home to Coventry in the Cup a few years ago , and have worn 'away' kits in pre-season friendlies like pink vs Lazio but can't recall a yellow one. Anyway, YELLOWS YELLOWS YELLOWS

Can't believe Blackburn are still owned by the VH Group and their fans are still hating them, how long has that been now? Must be nearly 2 decades!?!? They've done nothing in that time, from a 90s Premier League (or Premiership then) stable, to, well, bumbling around in division 2 and 3.

Thing is when you're on a good run you think best case, and when you're on a shit run you think worst case...I think you need around 75 points to get into the playoffs generally.... We should beat: Charlton (H) QPR (H) Sheff Wed (A) WBA (A) Oxford (H) Blackburn (H) That's 18 points - taking us to 64 points That leaves Norwich (H) Coventry (A) Ipswich (H) Wrexham (A) Derby (H) Swansea (A) Bristol City (A) Preston (A) We should be capable of getting another 10-15 points from these games. The league really isnt very good this year IMO, and we are capable of beating anyone. The only team that's looked really decent against us really is Boro. Ultimately, if we don't manage to get 30 points from those fixtures, then we don't deserve to go up anyway. Now how many do we need for autos...

Or some other random keeper!

That's a great shout. I don't understand this latest "we need 3 goalkeepers" fad, isn't that exactly what the youth is for?? And yeah, if they are THAT bad, we (as a club) are doing something horrifically wrong. Mind you, I can't ever recall Saints producting a goalkeeper from the academy of any note, am I wrong?

The only thing Brazilian about him is his missus undercarriage. He’s an honourary sotonian. Four four fucking two.

That's a vertical stripes elongation myth buster of a video if there ever was one.

Right. But we've got a 21 year old, Hugo Fisher, on the books. So we're basically saying that he is worse than someone who couldn't get a club above the 7th tier of English football.

They play each other for the last game of the season i believe - could be a relegation dogfight between two former prem winners.

Leo Scienza with 2 assists. Mind you, he’s white isn’t he so we’ll let that pass, hey … 🙄

Didn’t make it through the night. Watch out Parker.

Ratcliffe got his figures very wrong which undermines his point and makes him look a bit silly. The underlying observation - that Britain has changed dramatically, that some places look nothing like they did a generation ago and that the rate of change has been drastic - is real enough.

I thought you would prefer Jim`ll fix it

Frank and Dyche (and Tonda) dream team. Get it done SR!

Considering we've had the Tories, who are all about the economy according to our resident back-of-fag packet economists, presiding over all those years, I think it shows two main things: 1. It doesn't seem to matter who's in charge - as long as you don't do anything particularly batshit mental (see tax breaks given by Liz Truss and supported by multiple on here and in the right wing press) then it doesn't overly matter what you do, it doesn't make much difference. 2. The reason for the above, and I've said it multiple times in reference to interest rates, is that due to the truly global market we find ourselves in, economic performance is down to external factors. What we need to do is invest massively in technology, and ensure we keep our services intact. It's why being part of the EU, and keeping our trading hub away from Frankfurt is so important. One of the businesses I advise for had seen four quarters of single digit falls in sales, but over the past year has seen that building back up. Was the reason the change in strategy the board implemented? Most of the board like to think so. However, our fall in sales and subsequent upturn correlate pretty much exactly with China's economic performance...

Manning is of course Irish not British, and Shea Charles is Northern Irish, so while politically speaking Northern Ireland is part of the UK, ‘Great Britain’ refers to the geographical landmass of the British Isles, which only includes the largest island containing England, Scotland and Wales and therefore excludes Northern Ireland. So it’s actually British, Irish and Northern Irish goals for British, Irish and Northern Irish people. Thread title needs to be changed to reflect please @benjii

Not sure if it really qualifies as a series, but all of the Michael Palin Travel programs he made. Absolutely brilliant presenter.
