Football Special

Interesting observation, when we signed him I asked a West Ham mate about him. Said he'd scored loads and looked good at youth levels where he looked physically dominant but questioned whether he'd make the step up in men's football. Obviously ran his contract down at West Ham and went off to Man City who have then loaned him out , I'm sure he's hoping for a run of games like he had at Stoke before injury. Definitely a downgrade on feb-May 2026 Ross Stewart but hopefully Divin will come good, we're going to need him to as seems unlikely Larin will play every game

Sounds like most of the pubs in town will be open, try to support one of the independent ones , tough industry to survive in at the moment https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/26610319.southampton-pubs-reveal-south-coast-derby-plans-sunday/

WBA even tougher sell as another long trip end of the week to Preston, can't see many wanting to do both of those , especially after so many went to Preston last season https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/preston-north-end-vs-southampton-2627

Would also like to know if Scienza is definitely fit? Went off injured vs Wrexham after being kicked out of the game, was mentioned he played behind closed doors friendly vs Aston Villa but can't find any confirmation of that. Peretz and Larin injuries incredibly frustrating

Yeah thought it was a bit vague , first time we've had tickets distributed like this so hopefully no issues

Lets hope so, hope he's not carrying his own luggage with his bad back, not been a good international break at all for our called up players

Looks like he came on in the 87th minute today so not much action but helped Japan hold on for a 2-1 win to beat New Zealand and lift the Kirin Cup, another international cap 👍 He should be travelling back tomorrow

Any idea if they are just sending link to lead booker to download all tickets for group or each person receiving their own link?

On the bench for today's game vs New Zealand

Yeah not a minute played in either game against Israel, works in our favour at least as he's played a lot of football, him and Manning on way back to Staplewood now so around for preparation for the Pompey game

Wasn't there a Northern Saint on here who mentioned at the time he'd even walked his dog close to the Boro training ground before, please please do it in a Saints tracksuit top a few days before we are due to play them

Yep, last year most football pubs were open and busy-ish at 9am , certainly Cricketers, O'Neills, Scholars, think The Alex as well, see no reason it wont be similar again. No doubt the club wont want to miss out on some £££ in the fan zones as well

Hello Gibbo 👋

None of them know but they post on here to reaffirm their own fears with each other , some of them will be hoping for an 'i told you this would happen moment" but ultimately they're guessing at the moment

What happened to loose lips sink ships?
