Monk

Sad news, he did a big job for us given the context. Piss poor from the club we’re yet to acknowledge Kev’s passing.

Right one of you fuckers are watching on a steam, just copy and paste it in here.

Has anyone got a stream please? FAWANEWS is absolutely wank tonight.

What's this steam everybody uses? Something fawa?

Streams gang??

Any streams folks? Moody stick not working.

You've pretty much summarised it nicely. It's interesting, as in the foundation phase (ages 5-11) it's very much around ball mastery and beating/getting past an opponent (1v1/2v1's) - with much emphasis being placed around receiving and traveling with the sole of your foot (allows for quicker changing of the ball offensively and defensively). However, the actual game itself is based around heavy rotations and 'plays' a bit like the NBA which see's a-lot of rehearsed patterns and a fair bit of passing. As mentioned elsewhere, The FA pulled the funding from both the elite national teams down to the grassroots support - at one point it was set to be rolled out nationally as a winter alternative to the grassroots football in the mini soccer ages (some leagues still run these events). In my opinion, it's very similar to the way cage/street football is played in MUGA's etc - there was an interesting documentary on it on TNT sports a few years ago highlighting London producing lot's of these street footballers.

For those nostalgia merchants, something a bit of fun. I’ve been listening to a great little podcast called That 90s Premier League Podcast over the last six months. It pretty much does what it says on the tin - a roll back through all things from the Prem. Sky Sports, Subbuteo, 90s goalkeeper kits, transfers that nearly happened, and then their ‘Vinted Corner’, where they look at bits of memorabilia they’ve picked up, from playing shirts to Mitre match balls. So… What’s your favourite bit of Saints-related memorabilia that you currently own? And is there anything football related you’ve had over the years that you’ve lost, sold or let go in an old tip run that you wish you’d kept? Would be good to hear what people have tucked away!

Apologies double post

It’s not fooling us either.

Any streams. Total 3 one went down and Sky Go keeps buffering.

Putting two and two together but I wonder if Manchester City might explore a loan for Aaron Ramsdale with Trafford leaving and no second choice. They did sign Pierce Charles (Shea's brother) but he's since been loaned to QPR.

Hi all, Just a small note to pass on that sadly one of our own, Andrew Shepley @Shep58 passed away this morning after an incredibly admirable battle with cancer. A season ticket holder over many years and most recently with his grandson Taylor. 🥃 if you get the chance….raise a glass during the World Cup, preseason or the start of the season to Andy.

I think we could've had the courtesy to at least acknowledge Hull City, it would've been an opportunity to show some class. I mean it's a fair statement, we apologise in it... just a tiny bit of arrogance regarding the £200m which could read we're assuming we've beaten them. I just cannot fathom how if we somehow get reinstated that Tonda and co should be allowed anywhere near it. Assuming AL could be caretaker but whose to say he isn't aware of it??? The dynamic at the training ground today must be very odd.
