FIFA World Cup 2026 9m Folarin Balogun available for USMNT vs. Belgium as red card ban suspended

I’ve never been ITK and I’m not sure whether I am now but I was told today that JWP is on his way back to Southampton. Don’t know if he’s a purchase or a loan. Two sources - 1 from someone linked to club and 1 linked to JWP. Am happy to be proved wrong.

Sod’s law the Middlesbrough game is the only match I’m away for currently.

I’m looking for some fire in our engine room but agree need to be on guard against any passengers. Hornby could be the ticket or the pearl in our oyster.

I’ve renewed. Think the prices are ok when you break it down to a per match basis.

Good news that Bree is staying though.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Not sure many managers will want to take him on due to his injury record but as there’s no transfer fee involved the overall outlay won’t be huge.

Good news - will it come a third time today?

My refund for tickets, coach and booking fees is shown as pending against my credit card. I also paid for membership in order to get an extra ticket for my son who isn’t a STH. The membership itself is worthless as only applicable for the playoff game. Is anyone else going to try and get a refund for that too?

Anyone got a clue when prices and sale dates are likely to be released and are we all renewing or not?

I complained to the BBC about the Teeside radio coverage after our home leg and got the following reply today Thank you for sharing with us your concerns about BBC Tees Sport: Post-match broadcast on 12 May. While we recognise emotions were running high following a dramatic and controversial end to the play-off semi-final, we also expect all of our output to meet the BBC’s editorial standards. Supporter reaction and fans' opinions are, of course, an important part of sports coverage and it is entirely legitimate to reflect the strength of feeling around major sporting moments. However, on this occasion part of the discussion went beyond what we considered editorially appropriate. We are sorry for that. We have therefore edited the programme on BBC Sounds to remove the section concerned. We have also spoken to the team involved to remind them of the need to ensure that both presenter analysis and contributions from fans and pundits remains within the BBC’s editorial standards at all times. Doesn’t matter in the scheme of things but I like the thought of Dana Molt not only losing today but having one of those cheating Saints fans stir it up for her with her bosses.

Somewhat OTT but after all the anger and sadness it feels like the funeral is taking place today and once it’s over and I’ve had a few drinks at my own private wake I’ll hopefully get back to normal and decide that I will, after all, renew next season.

If Tonda had any decency he would have resigned by now.

Phil Parson’s statement now made.

I feel exactly the same. Something broke in me as regards Saints last night and I’m not sure I’m ever going to feel the same about them again.
