Well, I'm sure they're right. When did promoting something ever increase interest? No, much better to wait for success and *then* promote off the back of it. That's the grassroots way to develop a fan base. >sigh<

Wait a minute! This isn't my house! This isn't my screen I'm reading mail off of! ... awkward shuffle back to own house mumbling thanks for the nice cup of tea from what turns out not to have been my kitchen... There's been a fair few posts recently about the seasons the men's team spent getting back to the Premier League. Lots of fond memories. Another reason to capture the success of the women's team now, as it doesn't hurt in raising interest when it's going well. It will also give some comfort when coming up against that really good Chelsea team. Arsenal's third goal the other week was a 25 yard belter too. But not good enough to be supported over Saints.

Well it was only Ronaldo's hand that was offside from a good finish, and Cavani missed a sitter. So, that's really 2 back... um.. they were on par with Liverpool for that large bit when Liverpool weren't trying. 🙂

Well done. Going up isn't certain. Squandering opportunities to get more support until it happens, considering the tiny outlay, is daft.

Perhaps they can work their way up to those big plans, by providing the absolute basics before the team get there. 🙂

Their body language reminds me of the Norwich players yesterday.

It has a nice ring to it. Not sure their money couldn't be better spent improving their employees working conditions though. They have the pennies for both. Just what I was thinking. The FA would surely be aware of Saints historical links to South America. They'd also surely want to be part of Saints climate activism. Fortunately, we are in a good place to receive such a sponsorship deal. RB Saints. Commemorating Ralph Ball and nothing to do with our new corporate partners.

Although bringing in Clive Woodward would be the exception here. 🙂

They'll come good any day now....

A very non dodgy 3 for Christmas please Santa Berkshiresaint. Mind you, if 5 includes all the multi billionaires from the other options, giving all their money to supporters for us to invest, then I'd have that.

Crumbs. I wasn't really thinking that League 1 with -10 points was going to be a recurring thing. Hoping that there will be three worse teams than us, until we can get a new owner.

You're both in our thoughts here Winnersaint. So pleased to hear you've had some more positive news, in such a difficult time.

In a recent interview with a group wanting to take over West Ham they saw the club, and stadium, as part of a wider redevelopment. The profits from the sources in that area were key to their project. Just as an example of some specific geography being important in a take over.

Remember that, as we join the Replace Flooring campaign, you might want to consider knee pads. It's not quick, can be a lot of hard work and quite wearing. Like something else... nope, it's gone...🙂

Nice to see this back, Minsk.

On my wishlist for Christmas.

After the 3rd, the radio commentators started to downgrade the opposition. But this was a good win. A minute after the final whistle and "i suppose the only ctiticism is that they should have scored more". As if they had to look for criticisms right away, and that's all they had tonight.

I just liked the prestige of having a European based scout. I thought they just put a flat cap and a raincoat on the black box and sent it up to Stoke. But that data analytics book I read, tells me it's all done on steroid enhanced versions of football manager these days.

Looked to the sky on reading Adam Hammill, in case one of his shoot on sight efforts was finally coming out of orbit. Glovesman could easily be an international goalie/spy franchise.

The parallel universe of MLT, where his talent got proper international recognition... ... and where burgers are a health superfood.

I read that, thinking "Jack Stephens" was going to be next. 🙂

I get a bit gloomy on our chances when I see experienced players replaced with less experienced players. But at least the club has a strategy of buying youth talent on the verge of regular first team appearances. Which is better than just random youth talent, or squad fillers. We're clearly not shopping in the same places as other teams at the moment, so I can only hope it's enough. I remind myself I'm gloomy nearly every season, and we've stayed up this far. 🙂 Still want someone to win the ball in midfield though...

Desperately lacking a Long so they can play their traditional 4-3-3. C'Mon Barca, there's 90mins left!

If only Small had decided to go for that first day of training, and he'd have been told he was in their plans. Lucky us. He's still more likely to play regularly for us though, if he's any good.
