It’s been so easy - I think we just lost concentration

Found it in the Independent- from way back. It’s the kind of stunt Cortese would likely have put in place to teach anyone else with the same idea a lesson. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/arsenal-revealed-to-be-paying-southampton-ps10-000-every-time-alex-oxladechamberlain-plays-20-minutes-or-more-8775909.html

I always thought that programme pose was all about the deal he was about to do with Arsenal for Oxlaide- Chamberpot later that week , Apparently the young lads parents had been sneaking about touting Alex to Arsenal (a friend and Arsenal fan who knows folk in key positions in Arsenal even asked me about him before any of us had the merest whiff - I just poo-pooed it as nonsense). I later heard from someone who had an evening with Cortese, that Arsenal had come clean to Saints in confidence once Mum and Dads scheme was set in motion. Arsenal turned up at Saints for the negotiations, and were told that a deal would be done that day, if Arsenal don't agree to Saints price tag and conditions Arsenal will leave the building and agree never to come in for Alex again. And off he went getting highly paid to build an impressive splinter collection in his backside. There was a tale of one ticking timebomb in the sale agreement, Saints would be paid something like £10,000 when he played more than 10 minutes of a match, if you have any recall on 81+ minutes Alex would be subbed on. After a few months Arsenal received an invoice for over £100,000 from Saints claiming these £10k's, Arse tried to wriggle out of it stating the games and times when Ox took to the pitch after 80 minutes, and Saints countered that with all the 90+ added times those games went to. Of course being a bit of an egotist he was probably reminding Leeds that we had snaffled Lee Barnard from under their noses at half past the 11th hour, and Lee was in SMS the same night Leeds were unveiling him in their home match programme.

Makes the long trip home much more pleasant.

Amazed at how thin our bench is we have 5 Sunderland have 8?! i

I’m waiting for them to fit the retractable pitch to reveal an Ice Rink and reintroduce the Southampton Vikings Ice Hockey Team

1-1 Bum!

Blundell Park seems to be the place to go for goals recently 17 in the past 2 including 10 today, where they traded goals with Nots County - our very own David McGoldrick thought he’d won it with countys 5th towards the death only for The Mariners to level and share the points.

SS reporting a few p*mpey fans left at half time - that has to be a lie surely

Yahoo 3-0 Fraser

AA settles the nerves

Post Office will be relieved they don’t have a finger in that pie then 😉

AA managed not to slice it over the bar From 2cm out 🤪

That was Pony! …..I’ll get my coat 😳😁🤪

Can’t knock a bit of schadenfreude 😁 (I like that word) There was a bit in the paper the other week with an in article headline “they’ve had their pants pulled down too many times buying average players”.

Where did the ref find 10 minutes from in the Forest game

A good night for us - Leicester aside.

Think he was distracted by the “Ole’s” rather than doing his job and clearing it out

You've only just had your breakfast!! 😁

New FIFA rules say 3

Boss who’s an R’s fan is dragging me, and his mate, along with him to sit on my hands - then out for some grub after. Bizarrely I have seen more of QPR with my own mince pies than Saints this season. Saw them at SMS in August, then he asked me along when his mate was ill, where I witnessed their first home win since March (?) - glad I did as the 3rd goal was a superb display of singular sheer bloody mindedness and belligerence that bamboozled a defender so much that he sliced into his own net. Do what we do well and we will be fine, fanny about and the Boss might be delving further down the wine list later!

I just had a steward come along the line, counting folk ahead of me, then said to me "you might not get a ticket!". 😁 Anyone remember those days at the Dell just for a normal game?
