Went to a charity dinner a while back and Shane Warne was the guest. He did about an hour of stories and Q&A. He was brilliant, really funny. Chatted to him after and let him get a photo with me

Probably saw my post on here about it yesterday #CoT #stillfirstwithallthenews

Can’t really blame him can you. Nothing to prove with another season in the championship. He’ll get to move to a big club, challenge for the title, European football too. Shop window for a year or two before getting a bigger move to a top club.

He has good attributes but looks a bit brainless and clumsy to me. He was signed as a cheap development player which is fine but I don’t really see him as a first choice player for a team that claims it wants to win the title the odd one here is Sanda, cost more than Quarsie despite coming from the SR family. Been here two years now and seems no closer to the first team squad than when he joined. A really weird signing given the fee.

What’s he done to prove he’s any better? I personally think THB and Wood are our best pair but Stephens seems to be loved by every manager

Our record against Stoke is awful so a heavy loss and calls for Tonda to go

All good shouts Micheal Jordan’s about how many shots he missed but that’s why he wins should be given to every kid when they start a sport, truly inspiring one of the reasons I’m so in awe of Matt Fraser is because he knew his weakness and work liked fuck on them until the were no longer weaknesses. There is a story about him struggling with rowing in one of the games workouts so he spent a year rowing every day on top Of his other training to be better. That mindset is incredible

For me it was Steve Moran and then CC. I remember watching him score in the World Cup and saying to my dad Saints should sign him. My dad used to work for the echo and back then I’d wait for him on the doorstep every night to get home from work, he always used to have a copy of the echo under his arm when he walked up from the bus stop. The day we signed Colin Clarke he said to me as he walked up the path to our house “Saints have signed your mate” and tossed the echo headline was “Saints sign Clarke for £400k” obviously back then there was no social media, no rumours so you found out about signings when they happened amd they were massive news. what a time to be a kid

I remember we also beat QPR 5-1 on Colin Clarke’s debut in 1986. He was our big money signing after the Mexico World Cup and scored a hatrick on his debut. Remember when we signed him it was front page of the echo, we’d spent £400k which was mega money for us in those days

That kit if fucking awful. It’s all some bollocks about looking like Pompey, which is quite frankly ridiculous

Seeing as the three we got caught for we played shit and lost maybe we have carried on?

4 wins in last 27 years according to fitz

I think it was lore the fact we needed him off the payroll than him desperately trying to leave

I think we had a blue away kit for most of my childhood. The light and dark blue keegan kit, then the light blue one with bits on the shoulders from 85-87, we had the blue kit early 90s that we wore for the the ZDS final then the blue pony kit. I reckon between 1980 and 1995 we had blue away kits for about 10-12 years. Doesnt make the current one any good mind but we’ve done it regularly in the last 50+ years

BBD to make his mark
