I'm waiting for the SM posts from portchester bragging that they have gone toe to toe with a championship side despite the saints starting XI having an average age of 17..... 🤣

Make of it what you will but Danny Ings overtook me heading north on the M3 J12 earlier today. Ok he was probably just down visiting family or friends but I guess it's equally possible that he was finalising his loan move to saints.... (please accept this as the tongue-in-cheek comment that was intended! 🤣).

Match officials often get a lot of stick but what a fantastic advantage played after Alcarez was taken out in the build up! Let's hope we can go in to see a comfortable win.....

I live near Fareham and always drive with my eyes closed until it feels like I'm in an SO postcode....

Cracking game and a lovely header to secure the 3pts. It's so right at the top right now, if it stays like that we are in for a thrilling end to the season!

Thanks for that, just signed up 😁

Whereabouts are you watching it? I could only see audio commentary via the saints website.

It works just fine in rugby league with the referee signalling when to start and stop the clock. It would mean an alteration to the laws of the game (the ref would no longer be the "sole arbitor of time" but I wouldn't have an issue with that. On a slightly related note, the difference between players attitudes to refs on football and rugby is huge, footballers could learn a lot about respect!

Where do they get the fans for soundbites from? Surely they could find a few that are slightly less geeky?! 🤣

It's good for me as I follow Super League rugby which is on Sky Arena, I'll just watch saints games via an "alternative source".....

I'm more upset with The Express for their use of "a historic" rather than "an historic" in the article.... 😁

It wasn't to be fair and I'm not great at betting either so it was always going to be a bit of a car crash! 🤣🤦

*Whispers* it would be £150,000.... 😉

They were a massive part of my 6th form years in the early 90s, it was a crying shame that they didn't "make it" along with the likes of Molly Halfhead!

"Steamroller" by The Family Cat (a 90s indie band that were a lot better than there lack of fame suggests!) contains the lyric "And the saints, are playing at home today". Lead singer Paul Fredericks is a saints fan and regularly performed wearing a retro saints shirt 😁

Great memories (Apart from the minute's "Silence" but you'd expect no less from the pondlife to the East) but I do wonder what became of the striker who scored our 1st goal on the night, his name was Baettie according to the tv graphics...... 😂

I believe it bursts open...

Leicester? Bournemouth?

*Solent, bloody autocorrect!

I was at Fareham Town today carrying out my stadium announcer duties as usual but had one eye on our game. It was quite nice to announce the half time score to a crowd of mostly Blues (especially as.portsmoith were only drawing) but to get back to the car and hear the end of the game on silent with us still winning was even better. Let's hope this is the start of a change in fortunes!

Powder monkey do some very tasty beers to be fair.

Let's face it, however quick he is it's unlikely that he is Johnno Quick.....

Just take the metro from the airport, it will take you pretty much to the steps of St James Park. We did this when we went up for Super League's Magic Weekend event a few years ago, back when return flight for 2 of us were only about £30 more than the cost of diesel and parking up there!

The phrase usually means "my fault". It can be used (less commonly) as "my mistake" so I kind get the point of the thread. Fwiw I always expected it to take a while for anything new to have any effect as things have been going badly wrong for down time now. Fingers crossed we have turned a corner (not holding my breath quite yet though!)

Trying various streaming options (including kodi) but I'm either having buffers every few seconds or nothing at all, very frustrating! Anyone else suffering?
