East Kent Saint

I think because the Prem matches are spread over 3 or 4 days usually if say Fri & Sat are pp then they would claim unfair as it would leave Sun/mon teams without the same fixture congestion later etc . They prob thought it was easier / fairer to pp the whole weekend and not get VAR involved ! They are prob now sweating on when the funeral will be etc.

You have overlooked Henry VIII who saved us from the pope as well as the rule that no king or queen can be a catholic . In 2013 members of the royal family in the line of succession could marry a catholic as well as female members being allowed to take their place in the line . The king or queen cannot still be a catholic as the post involves being head of the church of England so hats off to Henry and Elizabeth of old .

Non league rely on gate money to survive , changing a weekend game to mid week will cost them , unnecessary to for their games to be called off at such short notice .

They stopped live updates on tonights matches on the BBC website , just scores avail .

No different to San Marino and Andorra at international level !!

M25 seems to be getting worse since covid especially jt 5-7 and jt 10 -14 , we used to go jt 10 , Guidlford then A31 to cut across via Alton etc which was pretty quiet , then a bit of M3 and the slow bit was to get to West Quay area to park . We used to use Cineworld for parking until they started charging with 4hr limit so used the main shopping multi story at West Quay for £5 before covid. The all lane running from jt10 has now been put on hoid re safety issues so not much will change . We have to allow 3 hours to go the 90 miles to Heathrow to make sure we don't miss the plane !!!!

2nd yellow against ManU ? Are you sure !! Redders would probably have got a yellow for taking his shirt off 😄

Perhaps that was what Pep was trying to tell him that time at the City match !

A few years ago they put the whole pitch relaying process on the website , major operation if all the sub soil has to go as well . Once turf down they have special (UV?)lamps across thepitch at intervals to make it grow etc

Or the £2M legal fees !

How's JWP doing this season , doesn't seem to score highly in player ratings (not that they are a good guide) ??

When will they take action against players mobbing the Ref ? Make it captain only the rest booked if they protest directly

BTW can any of our Saints team head the ball into the goal ???

It's not that Che missed an open goal more that he hasn't got the technique to head a ball , the second one that hit the bar seemed to come off the side of his head . Perhaps it is an eyesight thing or he stops looking at the ball because he closes his eyes ????

In todays Guardian resume of how did clubs do they think Saints have done of the best business ! Under Newcastle Matt Targett is described as proving to be an excellent left back !

Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo, 23, will sign a bumper new contract at PSV Eindhoven after interest from Manchester United, Leeds United and Southampton this summer. (Eindhovens Dagblad - in Dutch) Gakpo thought he was leaving PSV for Manchester United until the last week of the transfer window. (90min) He should have checked Saintsweb !

Aren't clubs supposed to ask player/agent first if they want to join Saints ? I mean tapping up is OK now isn't it ?

Reading / Leeds involved usual portaloo stuff plus tent arson ( they usually just abandon tents these days) plus some not so usual fights according to reports . There is so much in the news about world disasters , war , gas prices , ruderless govt and a new PM who is going to be much worse than the last one that a bit of festival hooliganism doesn't get much coverage.

No it's the bus going under a low bridge which has removed the top deck 😄

This one ! (Thanks to Win 11 )

The Guardian had a large picture of Lavia celebrating his goal with a caption Adam Armstrong celebrates what proved the winner for Southampton in first half added time ! unfortunately I can’t see how to paste a photo of it on an ipad

Frank says it’s too late to sell Gordon this window !

He's been offered to Everton along with Gallagher plus £25m for Gordon according to BBC gossip roundup !

Tella on the scoresheet again Burnley 5-1 up

A different definition of 'South coast derby' 😄
