Who can forget the fairytale rags-to-riches stories of plucky underdog minnows like Everton and Leeds when they won the FA Cup against all the odds in the 1970s and 1980s.

Yes indeed. But some episodes are absolute classics. Take October 14th 1985. Boy goes on a test flight with the Red Arrows, pair of twins gets to dance with Wayne Sleep and an entire Brownie pack all go on the Corkscrew at Alton Towers.

Same. Le Tissier and that Nicholl team were my entry point into supporting Saints, and will always be a huge figure in my supporting life. Moving away to university and then as I moved home around the country, as soon as you say "I'm a Southampton fan" in conversation people you meet would immediately turn to Le Tissier. He represents the city in a huge way. I've mentioned before that as big Smiths/Morrissey fan I've already seen one of my heroes tarnish his legacy in later years. So I'm used to it. So whatever happens, and whatever gets said, people can't take away those wonderful goals, they can't take away my Morrissey CDs and they can't take away my cherished VHS video collection of episodes of Jim'll Fix It.

Let's all say this is a shit line up and then we might win.

Is this the same weak as piss snowflake leftie EU opening the floodgates letting anyone and everyone in or a different one?

Bournemouth manager by Halloween.

I would absolutely love it if Pompey win all their remaining games. End the season with 6 straight wins. Go on boys. Please do it Pompey because it will be so utterly utterly futile. Do it for us lads. Please 🙏

Koeman got the Barcelona job entirely off the back of his status as a player there (and Barca being skint/desperate). If his name was Frank Smith with his exact record he'd have never have ever been in contention. Seriously the real world is a bit more complicated than just spreadsheets.

Massive news for the "we are always the first opponents for a team with a new manager" brigade. It's always us. Always always always.

Odd, and absolute bullshit. As our closest club we'd be "paired" with Bournemouth, and absolutely no chance that game would be on the opening weekend. Can't trust nuffink these days

David Moyes is still definitely shit though, right?

You are perfectly free the post teeth aching banality like that though. Well done.

Let us know exactly what it is you're going to do to stand up to these liars and propagandists. Because you are definitely going to do something, aren't you?

Why do you keep going on about this? Haaland is not English, he doesn't want to play for England, he wants to play for his own country. The idea that there was ever even "a choice" for this kid to make is utterly ridiculous.

He is allowed one.

It's a perfect encapsulation of the modern Conservative Party in that they have all trooped out to say that Boris simply must stay because of the war, but at exactly the same time they had to cancel this week's recall of parliament to discuss Putin's use of chemical weapons because the PM didn't want to answer questions about parties there. Anyone would think Boris is driving a tank they way these people are going on. The war will carry on regardless of what that fat prick does.

You can rest assured I will never watch any of the shit the you post up.

aaaand it took you a week and of course it's some crank youtuber. Thanks for not disappointing. Don't be taken in by the mainstream meeeeja kids

I think you're right. There's no way the BBC would have wanted that game on at 3:30 in the afternoon - they'd have wanted a 5ish kick off to maximise viewers. So definitely a concession (rather than just play the bloody game at Old Trafford).

Looks like Good Friday has a full schedule for the EFL and the National League so its not a normal Saturday. Interesting that the 3pm Prem games still happening though.

The giant L in your avatar is appropriate. Better luck next time.

Matt Le Tissier can spout off any old ill informed horseshit as much as he likes. No one is stopping him. No one.

Welcome to the forum sweetheart x x x

Not everyone can approach every single injustice, unfairness and atrocity in every country and every people all over the world with the exact same level of concern/action like you do. Well done.
