I too remember John Flood from my early days watching Saints at The Dell. A small tricky right winger as was the mould in those days. Then Terry Paine came along and the likes of Johnny Flood and Dave Chadwick had to play second fiddle. Sorry to hear we have lost one of the Saints family

Reckon the statement will be that Championship season tickets will be at the same level as this year and there will be upgrades to the food and drink outlets. Also they will sign Ail Dia's Mother In Law to play up front alongside Big Paul.

Well and truly tonked by a team who seemed well coached, could find a pass (or a series of passes), able to get forward with pace, seemed to have a semblance of ideas how to use corners and throw ins to their advantage and basically strolled through the game without their keeper being tested.. They also read the St Marys script ie contain the home team in the first half and ensure you score at least a goal or two (or three or four)in front of your own fans to ensure they are in full voice at the end. I reckon the current squad would not make it above halfway in the Championship so god knows what will happen when the three or four half decent players buggar off. Finally fair play to the much maligned Bednerak. Thought he was our least worse player today.

Perhaps away fans could be twinned with a home supporter and we could sit and learn how life is in the dark satanic mills oop north, share our cups of bovril and make friends for life,

I put on £50 at 13/5 for us to be relegated at the start of the season. Very disappointed that the Bookies will have to pay out but at least I will receive a bit of a down payment for next seasons ticket and probably another dose of regular disappointment.

I wonder if anyone could work out what our home record has been since Koeman left. I cant remember too many games where the team actually entertained the fans at St Marys.. In recent times I can only remember the 4-1 win v Brentford last season and the 2-0 won v Man City this year.

Just finished watching the concert from Windsor. Thought it was very well done. Very much a soul boy me but thought Take That brought the evening to a very rousing finish. The Military Band and the backing singers were top rate too. Tip to the Royal Family, you have got to lose the wooden attempts at dancing but fair play for giving it a go.

Every person in the US should be armed from birth to prevent this type of thing happening. They would then also be able to shoot anyone who is considering an abortion

Must admit to being a bit conflicted on the Coronation. Some of it looked similar to a Disney cartoon and I was given an admonishment from the wife for not watching the church service. However I found myself wiping away a tear watching the return to the Palace with the colour, the marching and the music which, by any measure, showed how good us Brits are for this type of historical display.

Tories are reaping the 'disasters' of the Johnson/Truss eras just as they benefitted from red wall voters turning against Corbyn. In my view Labour are pretty well odds on the be the leading party at the next election but may not have enough votes for an overall majority.

3-1 up against WBA and lost 4-3. Anyone know how this affects their promotion chances?

Paul Allen owned a number of yachts. He once owned the vessel (RV PetreL) which was bought by an American Research company and recently capsized in Leith Docks.

Notice that West Ham beat Arsenal 5-1 in the Youth Cup Final so this puts our semi final defeat in some sort of perspective. Perhaps we could look at getting a couple of their players in as loanees next season in the Championship

I am amazed that we have sold our allocation for a Friday night game with the team playing shit. Has the club taken the full allocation for Newcastle and Nottm Forest?

I dont really go for criticising managers and players but today was an absolute shambles. I would probably give a 6/10 to KWP and probably 5.5 to JWP and Lavia, possibly the same for Alvarez for his shot that hit the post but beyond that the rest were dire. And there seems to be no cohesion in the team which is down to the coaching staff.

I am far too dispirited to check our results since Sports Republic took over last January but wonder if any one has the information to hand. It must be pretty gruesome reading. Also if you look at this January signings ie Sulemana, Orsic, Alcaraz, Bree and the fabulously talented Onuachu for around £66m in total and probably Bree is the only one, arguably, who looks worth the pin money spent on him. And, of course, we now have a rather large debt to manage which is likely to remain a large weight round the club's neck for the forseeable future. If anyone came into the club with the express intention of ruining it, then Sports Republic seem to be well placed to take the honours.

Surely someone must have seen him play or was he bought on cameos from video clips. So far, as far as I can see, he is in the Ali Dia and Carillo mould and on course to be a £20m flop.

It appears that the deal Minister for Trade, Kemi Badenoch, has agreed with the 11 members of Asia-Pacific trade bloc (subject to Parliamentary Agreement, which the Tory majority will nod through) marks the point where Brexit cannot be reversed. The differences in rules between the CPTPP and the EU makes it impossible for the UK to rejoin the EU, or even the EU's customs union, without first leaving the CPTPP. The likes of Lord Snooty/David Frost etc etc will see this as the ultimate pay-off for the decision to leave the EU and 'write our own rules'. Others will see that Britain will now be forced to accept imports even when there are real differences in standards such as those covering food, pesticides, antibiotics in livestock farming and hormone treated beef. There is also a corporate court system at the heart of the CPTPP which will allow corporations to sue the British Govt for treating them unfairly. There seems to be little benefit to improve market access to services which account for 43% of Britain's exports. All this for a boost to UK GDP estimated at 0.08% over 10 years. Seems one hell of a deal (or not!!)

Lets grasp the positives from our 4-1 defeat. Same result as City's game v Liverpool and the 3 goal difference was the same as the result against Bayern Munich. We are riding on the shoulders of giants I tell yer.😀

For the attention of any interested party, Salisu is great, an excellent prospect for the future, a real team player, kind to his family, friends and pets, no off the field issues, a good trainer and worth every penny of the +£50m the club is reluctantly going to ask for his transfer at the end of the season.

To my mind it is most important to make kids tickets very cheap. This may affect the 'atmosphere' but the younger generation are our future and there are so many alternative things to do nowadays. It would be good to consider offering up the Chapel end as home to the vocal supporters but not sure how this could be achieved without causing problems with existing supporters in the area.

There is quite a few suggestions that Dragan should sell up. That supposes there are buyers at the right price. Sports Republic has supplied the funds, probably more than expected, The problem is that the funds have not been used in the right way. Recruitment on certain players has been abysmal.

I am distressed that you have not mentioned Derek Reeves!!!

I very much doubt it. Our players know we are going down, Man City want to make up for the 2-0 loss in the cup game. I fear an absolute trouncing

Doesnt the 0.08% figure cover the benefit over 10 years??
