So apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health ... what have the Romans ever done for us?

Our stadium doesn’t have a stupid sponsors name. Our kits are still broadly speaking the right colour The owner is not involved in embarrassing business pursuits or practices

They have made some spectacular screw ups. BUT - Saints finances are in pretty good shape, they haven’t racked up a load of debt, and they have spent plenty on players (just the wrong ones at the wrong time) You don’t have to have a long memory, or have paid much attention to other English clubs to know that it could be a lot worse.

For anybody who sticks all the way through it there is a section at 50:30m where he's speaking about Tyler Dibling. If the Saints marketing department can get a few snippets of that to go viral then that's another £20m on Tyler's value.

I like heavy metal as much as I like Saints football this season...

I think this chap speaks for many of us Man City for home games is a bit of a trek though 🤔

I don't know about you, but I feel all of these emotions roughly every 10 mins watching Saints currently. It's not so much a stage process as a Saints smorgasbord

So you're more than happy with Aribo and Smallbone bossing the midfield. Put any old back four behind them and they'll do the business. 4D football the AlexLaw way... as long as you play four at the back and sack the manager every seven weeks job's a good'n

Does any one know how to access the BBC Radio Solent commentary when you aren't in Hampshire? Tried BBC Sounds, Freeview 714 & 715 none of them work. Any help much appreciated - I have walls to paint and am masochistic enough to want to listen to the sounds of a hot knife through butter while I do it

It would appear that Ronnie Edwards is kicking ass at QPR. Their fans are all now closet Saints fans on the basis they might get to keep him, if we miraculously stayed up. They can't believe we loaned him out. Read the replies

I think it might be a case of 'be careful what you wish for'. Dragan has put more money into Saints than anyone ever has. Yes there have been some poor choices/decisions, but also there have been some unfortunate circumstances. He has had two well respected Directors of Football sign for Saints, and then get poached to a huge job very quickly. We were in the conversation for Gakpo. Yes there has been some crap recruitment but also some wins both on the pitch and financially: Lavia, Fernandes, Ramsdale, Downes, THB, financial benefit of the sale of Meghoma/SAA, sale of Livramento. Dragan's money with the assistance of a replacement Paul Mitchell would be great for us.

Is anyone else already bored of seeing this?

Or maybe it was actually because she was secretly a transfer deadline day Sky reporter tormentor over an extended period 🤔 🍆🤏

Eggsaccally!!
