I've always felt that the women's game is trying too hard to simply copy the men's one, rather than putting on a different product. Smaller pitches, smaller goals, different kits, 80 minute games, maybe even outlawing heading, would, I think, give it some really good USPs.

If you can't be happy about this new away kit then there's not much hope really is there. Looks really nice and I understand why they go down the route of a plain back. Still not buying though as I have my retro 90's version from a few years ago. 😅

I wonder if Sports Republic are relying solely on AI for their decision making: Is Jack Stephens a good player? Jack Stephens is generally considered a solid and reliable footballer, particularly for Southampton, where he's played since 2011 and currently serves as captain. While not a superstar, he's known for his leadership qualities, experience, and versatility, being able to play both center-back and right-back. His recent contract extension with Southampton until 2028 highlights the club's faith in his abilities and his value to the team.

Genuinely surprised about this (other than the red flag of him spearheading the new kit launch). It really worries me that the club have made this move in light of what we saw from him last season. >Not a very good player at Premier League level. >Not a very good role model on the pitch (albeit probably a good one off it). >Not a very good decision by the club (in my humble opinion). I guess the only saving grace is that we're not a Premier League club at present, so we have to accept this fact (and all that comes with it).

Yeah, this news will no doubt compound an already tragic situation for the family. Very, very, sad.

Frankly, I'm stunned to hear that he was likely to be speeding in his £200k supercar that does 0-60 in 3 seconds.

Nice story. Absolutely hate it when tragic things like this happen, but it's always good if it helps shine a light on an important topic.

I have to say that I don't blame them anymore. That's a lot of money to get laughed at whilst walking down the street. 😅

£65! Wasn't going to buy it anyway but come on!

I met someone at the pub last night who claimed to be a senior figure within the club. Don't flame me if I'm wrong but he told me that it will be a close replica of the 1978 home kit. He also told me that P&O Cruises will be the new main sponsor, but didn't appear to realise that the news was made public earlier in the day. Still, I guess that proves that he is credible so let's watch this space...

I've actually done the math and it indicates that he'd score about 3-400 goals per season. Mark my words, we will live to regret this sale.

Not a great fixture if true.

Reading’s new kit looks like it’s been designed by Wetherspoons 😅

Yup, some of them (like that yellow one) are really cool and, in my humble opinion, much better purchases than the actual match shirts.

In fairness, the training tops last year had Draper Tools on them, but the retail versions did not. EDIT: There are already on sale and no sponsor... https://store.southamptonfc.com/trainingwear/training/mens/3832_2526-training-shirt-player-adult.html

I bumped into Neil Warnock at a service station on the A303 several years ago. He wasn't having a good week, as had just been sacked by Leeds and then his credit card was declined whilst trying to refuel his Audi A2. 😅

My top three...

For one final time this season… Piss of you useless pricks! I’m really going to miss football over the summer. 😅

Standard 😅

A goal fitting for such a woeful match.

Watched the last 10 minutes. Absolute dog shit!

Absolutely! Palace did really well keeping the likes of Guehi, whereas we would have buckled and sold him the minute he played for England.

There's nothing like a great signing... ... and he indeed is nothing like one.

Do I win a prize, or a place in a Hall of Fame? 😅

Given their incompetence, our lot would probably burn the place to the ground.
