Agree wholeheartedly with this. It’s an honour to be associated with a Saint in power. However, I’m not sure Rishi’s the only world leader who we should consider a Saints legend, Putin was recently heard talking positively about our Red Army. Ignore the politics, what a top man.

Shown a level of adaptability in the last four games that’s given me confidence going into next season. It’s always been obvious he’d be able to create a togetherness and bring through the right personalities but I think he’s adapted tactically to be able to set us up for a decent return to the Premier League.

Who cares? Walk out, get home and open that bottle of wine.

Would have thought they’d find a flute easier to sneak in.

Wonder if we could tempt this Scottish keeper from their squad announcement video?

Hearing rumours it was a Lee Barnard and Tommy Forecast tag team causing the damage.

It was a bit more than cynicism. You were pretty belittling and patronising about it. Good of you to apologise though.

Anyone who says a better goal difference is worth an extra point. Call it 0.0001 of a point or half a point or 0.9999 of a point if it’s necessary to explain why one team will finish above the other when they end the season level on points but it’s not the equivalent of an extra point.

Think it’s probably the opposite and he’s part of the old boys club. Plenty of younger, more fashionable and even female former black players they could replace him with for the ‘quota’.

Goal and assist on its way

This is so much more fun than being 2-0 down at home to a mid table premier league side and 6 points clear of safety.

I just typed this response out then thought fuck it, why try and take the emotion out of it… we need to win today and the pressure we’re putting on the rest will pay and we’ll go up automatically. Win each game and that pressure build so Downes should have been risked. ‘Think if there’s a risk that playing him now that the knock gets aggravated and puts him out for the season, it’s the right call. We need to win all our games including two away against teams ahead of us and even then that might not be enough for automatic. Probability is we’re in the play offs and we’ll stand a much better chance of we have Downes in the team going into it.’

Seems like you’re very much in favour of it not being acceptable for actors to portray people of a different race in some circumstances and able to draw your own line whilst also arguing that it shouldn’t be an issue at all or we’d end up needing to debate where the line is drawn…

Not sure it counts if they’ve admitted to being a drugs cheat.

They’re both big names though so that will have helped secure them the job. I’m not certain a black lower league ex goalkeeper turned physio or black translator would have been given the same opportunity as Nigel Adkins or Jose Mourinho no matter how good a game they talked in terms of their first management role. There will be plenty of examples of good black, good white, shit black and shit white managers. Ultimately there’s no significant disadvantage to white managers who have plenty of opportunities and support. If they’re better than their black counterparts they will still rise to the top no matter how many initiatives and schemes are in place.

Pompey at home, Bournemouth away.

Why have prosthetics been used to make actors look more like Prince Andrew and Winston Churchill in recent years?

Assume you’re a straight, white man. Couldn’t you have just evened things out and called it quits between the two of you?

Why was she focused on how she could benefit from the inequality rather than trying to address societal imbalance?

Reckon you’ll get better than half price on some Saints branded, fire damaged smoke alarms.

I’m pretty sure Ipswich weren’t relegated with Leeds and Leicester last season.

Not sure he gets in the team ahead of Skacel.

Good point. No idea why we signed van Dijk and Wanyama from Celtic after we’d bought Hooiveld who clearly wasn’t up to Premier League standard.

Think it goes back to the 1970 FA Cup final that was a bit physical.

Depends who we were playing. If it was in this game, I don’t think it does.
