Nope.  Bolton did though  

[spyinthesky]

To be fair, they had 8k+ at Spurs then play Bolton on a Tuesday night and Saturday so somewhat understandable.

However a photo to keep in the bank to go with an away game at Wigan a few years back and a home FA Cup defeat by Orient even further back!!

I can’t begin to imagine how much he must utterly stink. No wonder nobody is sat next to him. Good job there’s usually spare seats around to get away from him.

Plucky heroes narrowly lost 3-0 at Bolton.😭

Dan N'Lundulu came on for his Bolton loan debut when they were 1-0 up.....didn't score but it's always nicer to know that there's a personal Saints involvement! :-)

[The Cat]

Must be something wrong with the Flashscore app because when I look at the League 1 table I can't see the champions elect in the top half?

[Dark Munster]

The skates are worried the season will peter out. Not necessarily, if they keep this up it could be an exciting relegation battle.

[rallyboy]

Ouch, that's not the table they hoped for.

Never mind, I'm sure it's been funny watching us struggle.

[SotonianWill]

they do deserve to get out of league one.

The Tommy Doc way.

When appointed, he told the chairman of Rotherham “I’ll get you out of this league”. After relegation  the chairman said  to him “You’re man of your word Tommy, I’ll give you that”. 

[SaintZamboni]

Thanks to all for keeping this going. I haven’t checked in for ages so glad to see things aren’t always bad news when it comes to south coast football!

Linked with a manager by surname of Mousinho today.

I mean, it’s the thought that counts eh? Next best thing. 😅

I heard they would have preferred to get his brother Mickey Mousinho, but they couldn't buy him out of his very lucrative long-term contract.

excellent pompey protest, if you have binoculars on you

Fair play though, managing to get that printed on the clouds is a top effort.

Yes.  But we had to use a plane to tow it.  Skates are on a different level with this one.

[mack rill]

looks like a popcorn night again not that you scummers need any sort of cup distraction at the mo. 

[rallyboy]

That's clearly the plan, get out of the cup as quick as possible so we can enjoy the league campaign.

We'll probably try to make it less obvious on Saturday, but we need to get rid of all distractions.

How did your plane protest go?  Have you cut up your season ticket yet and done a thumbs-down frowning-face picture for The News?

Salty popcorn I assume Mack. I do hope you can pull it out of your wife/sisters hands, her 12 fingers will have hell of a grip I suspect 😃

disappointed with the VAR in the game seems to me give the idiot viewing the VAR enough time he can find fault in what ever decision is made,
