There must be a new generation of Corbynite/Extinction Rebellion/Avocado-on-Toast Saints fans ready to be the new generation of Chorley style activists. How long before someone glues themselves to the entrance to the ticket office or five of them all lying down in Semmens spot so he can't park his Range Rover?

The only idea Chorley and co ever had was about turning the hospitality area into a all year round club and put local bands on every night. Like this was the money making solution to sustain a top level professional sports club.

Prepare yourself for some nostalgic posts about the glory days of SISA in the replies. In a time of crisis (let's say we get relegated and end up in administration again) then groups will form. But in pretty docile times, with a distant owner, its difficult to see what role a group can really play, beyond being an ego trip for the leaders who just want to get on South Today. You want safe standing? No shit. More affordable tickets. Help for travelling supporters. Local beer in the concourse. Etc etc. There has been periodic chat about the "fan on the board" but unclear really what they truly would achieve. The best case study of the inefficiency, puffed up arrogance and appalling decision making of fan group administration is the story of the Ted Bates statue. Where "being a Saints fan" is the only qualification required for any task. Absolute embarrassment.

The Athletic going big on our clean sheet objective this season, and how we are going about it. Its not something I'd noticed but turns out someone pretends to be injured at the one hour point each match, so Ralph can do a mini team talk and they can all have a rest. https://theathletic.com/2975932/2021/11/24/southampton-hope-fixing-defence-will-help-them-shatter-glass-ceiling-this-is-how-they-have-done-it?source=user-shared-article

Especially as the hospitality industry has been doing so well in the last five years. I'm hoping for a Jamie's Italian, a Byron Burger a Chiquito and hopefully a Debenhams and a Top Man. Club will printing money, printing money I tell you.

Them German car makers will be banging on the door of the new Chancellor's office on day one. Banging on the door they will be.

Yeah, I suppose that's one theory. Or maybe, I think it is that you are just a massive fucking plank.

What i can do for you is promise you two things. I am never, ever going to read any of your darkweb nutcase Facebook "research" you post up. Ever. And secondly I will take the piss and laugh at you whenever I want to, whatever guff you post. bEcAusE i aM jUSt LiKe tHe NaZiS i aM

There's a blog post that can be found by googling "five fold increase athletes collapsing" or similar. Based on Wikipedia data on footballer deaths. I imagine that is the source of it.

Absolutely hilarious, okay mate. The US police have shot and killed Black men for playing with a toy gun. There is no way a black man with a semi-auto rifle who had killed someone in the maelstrom of a riot situation would have lived long enough to face trial. He wouldn’t have lived long enough to face breakfast.

Gao and co have been biding their time on the massive waterfront regeneration project and BAM here it comes.

I don't see any polarizing views. I think we all agree that you are as thick as pigshit.

He'd already be dead.

I'd insist that she took it off.

Didn't realise they were from the IOW, I thought they were Swedish or something.

What if we'd played a Norwich managed by Farke?

If we win at Anfield, I think I'll cry.

Yes but if you factor in agents fees and wages then something something something something something something.

Really it would be easier for all concerned if he was just shit. Then we could go back moaning about lack of cover at full back, and how Chelsea pulled our pants down for five million quid.

Lenny Bruce never walked in a dead man's shoes, even for one night.

"Pomp And Circumstance" I believe is the name of the Instrumental that Macho Man comes out too (same tune) Oooooooooh yeeeeeeeeah Tried to put a Macho Man Gif in but absolutely no idea how to. And there are fucking loads.

No problem: Why are you being such a twat about Haaland?

Bring me my bow of burning gold.

Why don't you just go and support Brazil or Germany then?

Quite. From my point of view I have no interest in seeing that lad play for England. What with him not being English and everything. Honestly it is utterly bizarre that there are some people having a go at the lad for wanting to play for his actual home country rather than to give his international career up to play under a flag of convenience. Well done to the lad, be proud of your home.
