I think it can only help that Boris sends his loyal MPs scuttling out to do the "he's clearing out the trash, good riddance to bad rubbish, this is leadership getting shot of this lot" routine. Because slagging off the people that know exactly what was said and done in relation to parties (and everything else) is clearly a strategy that definitely cannot backfire further down the line.

Steve Bruce promoted while Eddie goes down would be the stuff of dreams.

He's backed down on his Starmer comments now the big old fanny Here's what he actually said in the HOC: [He] "spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile" So obviously he was explicitly talking about Starmer's personal involvement (or lack of). But he's a habitual serial liar and he lives his own truth. I don't think he ever thinks he's lying. It will get him in the end (it has got him in the end already in several jobs). But mission accomplished for giving credence to a lovely big smear. It'll be back come election time.

100%. Sounds like massively overblown story "we tried we really tried" for a Newcastle audience (similar to the stories we've heard for years and years on February 1st or September 1st).

I think whatever the topic or whatever the thread, you can be relied upon to write some absolute drivel about it.

The second one. Which is why it makes zero financial sense. You need to spend millions retro fitting a part of the stadium with no increase in capacity and in an area where customers might expect to pay less not more. So I can't imagine Saints falling over themselves to do it because there's not a huge amount in it for them. Apart from preventing a load of earache at fans forums if they don't do it. (And then earache in subsequent years as to why standing is no cheaper than seats).

"Labour just talking down our country again". That's why its not really worth correcting: the attack lines on low growth, high taxes were far more effective.

I see that Alli and Lampard's first league game is away at Newcastle so a perfect time for a bit of new-manager bounce and new-lease-of-life player to shine.

Drip, drip, drip, drip.

I can only echo what others have already said. Thoughts with you and your family.

Thats not really chicken-and-egg. If your starting position is to reduce ticket prices, therefore reducing revenue and at the same time spend millions on expanding the stadium then you haven’t actually got a coherent case for expanding the stadium.

Sold out the whole stadium or have we limited it? If it is whole ground that's pretty decent going, albeit I know tickets were cheap.

Don't put it past the cheeky gits to claim the win as a sign that the public have moved on and still support the government's agenda etc.

What's the percentage of people saying he's playing a blinder?

If they can finish seventh every season for eternity that would do me.

Still no "there's no business tonight" tweet from Adam Blackmore yet. So that says to me that there's still time for four or five incomings.

I think we all need to wait until the Metropolitan Police have concluded their investigation and then we can all move on.

I thought he wanted to come and play with his bestest friend in the whole world?

Neil Armstrong?

Except that tweet says other clubs are going to take him.

Absolutely no justification for that appalling photoshop.

Good read. Reminds you that this is a war where it is incredibly easy to want both sides to lose.

Newcastle have got money to Burn.

I see Boris and Rishi saying they are pushing ahead with the Tax rise. I am in absolutely no doubt they want to push it through entirely so they can lop it off again in the budget of 2024 just conveniently in time for the election that summer and ride in on a "look at us lowering taxes" message. And it will work.

I think the important thing is to look at every single event in football through the lens of how terrible it is going to be for Southampton Football Club.
