  1. Yes I know it’s a week away but some advice please on parking for SU. I’m going to come up the A625 and will leave the same way so any local knowledge on locations would be much appreciated.
  2. Knowing football and the PL it’ll be as simple as greed and trying to wring as much out of the loyal fan base as possible
  3. With regards to the £15M cap if I recall correctly in the book ‘Alphabet of the Saints’ published around 1990/91 reference was made to the £1M we spent on Alan McLoughlin (RIP) and how it would be a while before another Saints manager would be trusted with £1M!! Clearly times changed so I’m sure we’ll burst through the £15M bracket one day!! Ive done this from memory so please don’t hang me out to dry if I’ve got the year wrong!!
  4. Exactly this……..FF’s father is a QC and a former/current Judge. All footballers are advised I’m sure but in Fraser’s case he’s probably bright enough to realise a number of things himself.
  5. Palace showing they have some character……..wish we could show some
  6. If this ends up with a Newcastle win it’s no good letting a point against a half arsed Utd and a thrashing of a useless lower league team paper over the cracks that we have
  7. Not sure why anyone thought anything else would happen
  8. Pictures on Sky of those unable to get in………what an absolute joke. SFC says they’ll be refunded…….they should be refunded and some
  9. But we will have injuries and Ralph’s track record means that he’s not tactically flexible and doesn’t use his subs well. I’m not a doom mongerer but I think we’re in trouble.
  10. I live in the north now and gave my premium Kingsland ST up when we moved. I get to a decent amount of games each season (COVID aside) but I have also bought a couple of ST’s at Crewe for this season. Premium seats for my lad and I were £400 - this is just over £17 a game for the pair of us. Yes it’s not Premier League but then there isn’t any of the PL BS. It’s old school and was like Saints was years ago - you feel like a fan, you get treated like a fan and you’re certainly not ripped off. Chuck in 3pm KO’s, no VAR and not having to take a loan out to buy a pie and pint, we’re thoroughly enjoying it.
  11. So drop this season’s top scorer……plain weird!!
  12. Hold on to your hat…….that’ll be coached out of him before you can shout ‘Sack Ralph’!
  13. I’m a little flabbergasted how we are having exactly the same conversations on here as we have been for months and still some people think RH will turn it around. He won’t and if we are to survive then a change will be needed. For me this will happen before the international break in November - if it doesn’t we’ll be cut adrift.
  14. Before then I expect……or we’ll be completely dead and buried. At least give the new bloke a fighting chance of keeping us up!!
  15. I’m sorry but I can’t see our form improving and if he’s here in October I’d be staggered.
  16. How I’d love to just go to a game to watch football………
  17. Interesting……….He may be costing a bit but I think he’ll be worth it. Southampton may think that issuing an ultimatum with their latest offer will be enough to persuade Rovers into selling Armstrong. However, if it doesn’t meet Venky’s valuation, they will have completely wasted their time. Flexing their muscles might work with other clubs, but Rovers’ owners don’t play by the same rules as everyone else. As they highlighted by their belligerence over Jordan Rhodes’ exit from the club, if they set a valuation it has to be met. It is also worth factoring in that Venky’s once thought that Ronaldinho and David Beckham were viable targets for Rovers – reality is not really their thing. As Mowbray says – Armstrong’s suitors need to pay the price. If they are not prepared to do that, move along.
  18. Yep…….complete ineptitude. 6 days from the start of the season and 23 days until the window SLAMS shut. We are weaker than last season, we don’t seem able to get who we want and I bet others in the squad will go if they can. Personally I think Ralph will be gone by November after a catastrophic start, whoever comes in (Howe I reckon) won’t be able to arrest the slump and we’ll be down.
  19. I bought my lad the green training quarter zip training top. It’s started to bobble and a number of threads are loose, the quality isn’t good at all and I’ll be contacting the club as it’s very disappointing. Say what you like about UA but the quality is much better.
  20. I agree with this. He couldn’t take the gamble of a serious injury, no big clubs wanted him and AV offered us (and him) an attractive package - so to an extent win win for everyone.
  21. BIM how much Villa have spent, should the JG move fall through, where would that leave them as far as FFP is concerned?
  22. Money may not be as tight but this has similarities potentially to Andrew Surman’s transfer
  23. Wasn’t his debut live on TV against Southend?
  24. Could this be our 2021 FF moment in relation to this proposed contract?
