Football Special

Flynn Downes is such an odd one, maybe had a tummy ache again

I'll be crying whilst holding a "we'll be back" homemade sign to ensure an appearance on match of the day

Tryint to get in touch with the club shop to see if we are able to pre-order the goals of the season dvd? (Book early to avoid disappointment)

I've heard of other fans being approached on social media and I've been asked through a work colleague if I can help at all, I get there is huge demand from their fanbase but it's a bit ridiculous going this far. Because of this I actually think we should just take smaller 1800 allocation in lower tier and try to ensure tickets sell out to season ticket holders with multiple away purchases , limit the numbers of them getting into our end as there's bound to be a few happy to cash in

It's a fucking depressing thought isn't it. Horrible sense of inevitability about it all

Frustrating isn't it, we're up against it enough as it is without the need for the Liverpool bias

100% . He's best MP by a mile in my opinion, prepared to actually stand up and say his opinion , been brilliant last few months

Bazunu is not the answer unless the question is who's the worst keeper in the championship

Madness, Martin would be proud of those PSG stats

Yeah is he saying he's actually achieved something because we've just got worse from my perspective

This was quite insightful in the Echo https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/opinion/24980768.rohl-southamptons-top-target-new-manager/

Shortage of games in March might save us from that , (earliest being calendar date or matches played?)

Hope Juric is watching their game v PSG closely tonight , look for their weaknesses, hopefully a PSG win so Liverpool need to save everything for the 2nd leg next Tuesday

It has everything doesn't it Cup night drama under the lights ✅️ The Dell at its best packed out, great following midweek from Bolton ✅️ Classic commentary, can't remember his name but very familiar ✅️ Top admiral kit ✅️ On the pitch bounce around goal celebrating from the lower West ✅️ Should have bloody beaten Norwich in the quarters we still owe them for that

I'm hoping we'll have enough turnover of players that the negative losing mentality won't be such a weight around our shoulders. Players returning from loans like Edwards, Edozie, Charles and perhaps A. Armstrong will have spent enough time away from the club combined with a couple of new signings and a few loans it should feel like a fresh start again without too much "scar tissue" , a few positive results will be enough to get fans back on side so a good start will be important

One of the best FA Cup nights at The Dell, magic, great memories, it was same season we got to Wembley in ZDS, it wasn't *all* bad under Branfoot

He's down the pecking order behind another ex-Saints legend Dan Nlundulu

I dread to think how much has been spent on match tickets and travel going away this season, crazy really

Also, at least we're not the only team making a mess of things

It will all depend on recruitment, get that right , especially some good loan signings, and it could be an enjoyable season.

Agree, top flight pretty much a closed shop , makes championship lack competitiveness

Feels that way to me, initial boost in interest after lionesses won the Euros, England ladies got good crowds at St Mary's giving them something to build on but it's never really taken off. Main thing is beating the skates later this month

I can predict now our bunch of losers melt at fratton and we lose there, also predict Ruben Selles Hull will beat us, plus chance Charlton will come up from league one, if that happens I'll put my house and life savings on Nathan Jones beating us

It's a bit of a collectors item though as not many were produced? I think the trip to Bucharest was iconic , the shirt worn not so much
