Ticket and travel are covered, however I am not paid to do it. Probably doesn’t make a difference to you but I’m certainly not in this for money. I’m not recording the entire game. Not once has anyone ever taken issue with what I’m doing at a game, in fact people often join in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t respond to criticism often, but I have received a lot of threats and abuse over the past week so I might as well comment. First and foremost, I don’t do it for myself, it’s work I do for a platform called 90Min Football - it’s a big opportunity that I’m very thankful for and it has rewarded me with a lot. However, I decided to start my own YouTube channel using the same footage, making it easily accessible to Saints fans - and it has been very well received, and is growing. I don’t care much for statistics, however my latest video has almost 2K views, 102 likes and 0 dislikes - I must be doing something right. As Sergei said, it is proving popular especially with those unable to attend games. Maybe I would enjoy the game more without a phone in hand, but it’s very rewarding sharing the match day experience with appreciative people. I know there’s a stigma with the modern football fan, but having my phone recording doesn’t stop me singing and cheering at the top of my voice, doing all I can to support the lads, home and away. The abuse and threats I’ve received on Twitter I personally don’t think are warranted. No one is forced to watch the videos, me recording isn’t distracting during games, and people appreciate the perspective. Thanks to those who do support what I do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If strong winds and heavy rain don’t ruin my mood, Saints invariably will. Match Vlog: https://youtu.be/TGgaScO3Fbg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Trousers, appreciate that. I spoke to 90Min’s Spurs fan before the game and he was so unenthused. It’s not so much a protest, they’re just struggling to afford it. Having already paid for a season ticket for their new stadium, they’re having to pay £50+ per game at Wembley on top. Think the ST money will go towards next season’s instead so it will balance out, but for now they’re having to pay that as well as travel costa. The cheapest ticket for them last night was £45, which is ridiculous for a midweek game against us. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A weird evening at Wembley. Kelvin Davis made his managerial debut, Saints outplayed Spurs (if you ignore the result), and an attendance of only 33K meant no queue for the Tube. Match Vlog: https://youtu.be/vHXs36XbI4Y Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So confused. Was literally told yesterday by a reliable source that Sousa was already at the club and had been in for a mandatory club staff PPA test. Now it seems Flores is nailed on. Let’s be honest, no one knows. Not even Gao and Ralph. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Passion. Fight. Desire. Pride. That’s all we ask. Well that and no defensive lapses... Match Vlog: https://youtu.be/mPsVMeM45K0 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My thoughts on how arrogance and naivety, at all levels, has left the club in limbo. https://owenthesaintsblog.wordpress.com/2018/11/30/arrogance-and-naivety-a-club-in-limbo/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If Austin wants us to benefit from VAR in the future, perhaps he should be campaigning for its implementation in the Championship... https://youtu.be/Mb6tYRbKnMI Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got smashed 6-1, but the players don’t care, so why should we? Never thought I’d feel so numb to a hammering. https://youtu.be/d92uabQOTHg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With tonight’s game postponed, here’s your Saints fix for the evening. https://owenthesaintsblog.wordpress.com/2018/10/30/october/

Yeah that’s the one! [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Think the new Saints board game should be called ‘Monotomy’ based on today. Had plenty of chance (cards) though, just couldn’t get one to GO in. https://youtu.be/Z4nLA0QkM5I Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks mate, I appreciate that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

People said I needed to be more optimistic when I predicted 2-0 to Chelsea. Turns out I was being optimistic. https://youtu.be/JP2ZFjyEdgc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The reason for editing this tonight, despite how long and tiring today has been? So I don’t have to think about the game when I wake up. https://youtu.be/xeRjQzBMikQ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m sad to say, university and other commitments are leaving me with no choice but to reduce content on my blog. Apologies everyone.

Thank you for the support guys, appreciate that, and your enjoyment justifies me doing it. I know it’s not for everyone, but it’s not harming anyone, it’s an amazing opportunity for me that I’m thankful for, and it offers a different perspective for those that do enjoy them.
