Dr Who?

I’m not sure about this. Even though we did beat Bristol City in the cup last season, they were much better than us throughout the game. Don’t get me wrong we have some really good players, but I only think a couple that could cut it in the WSL. I think is more to do with picking your career over football, as they will not be paid much and it is a short and unpredictable career. If they choose a career professionally out of football, they can still play at a lower level locally. I don’t think any of our players will be snapped up by WSL teams.

Wow 😮 I only played a few games that season due to a knee injury. I signed as one of my housemates was assistant manager Steve Dunford. Played on my debut and scored a hat trick and then played 3/4 afterward, but picked up and injury then moved to Guildford and played for Guildford at Woodbridge. Might have been 93/94 or 94/95 season at Bishopstoke, but like I say a very short spell on trial. I had a few games at Pirelli and then I went back to Southampton in 2001 for 5 years and worked for them. But have not played since my Guildford days 95/98

Good god, good question. 93/94? Scored a hat trick on my debut.

They will be shit, but younger and fitter for sure. 😆

Yep, I would take him back, but cannot see it. Missed his goals last season for sure. Local lad, and supported Saints. Yes seems to get a little above his station and carried away, or more likely his agent does, but he is a class striker. Keeping him fit will be the issue. miles better than what we have, and has the goals that will get us up the table. He was class for us and coming home, with Bale and JWP supplying, he will be licking his lips. (Tongue in cheek for the Bale one, but just as likely as Ings returning).

You know the problem with England? They all grew up!

Not entertaining. NOT Functional. 3 years of getting good results well and truly over. now we are losing discipline!

I bet they do not struggle against newly promoted team. I take it we are just talking Saints record against newly promoted because I bet if you look at it, they really normally do not do that well. If they do then they do alright for the whole season. we will play everyone twice over the season and hopefully scrape together 40 points somehow.

Well the last 3 years have been fun. But I think we are on the decline again! We are so boring!

Blackburn fan at work wants Armstrong back.

That would be really poor marketing if not. 😂 look what you fans could be wearing!

I understand the hype as kids love the new shirts. I know I used to love the waiting and the build up. I remember getting the iconic Pony top in the 90’s, when on a holiday on the Isle of Wight from a popular sports shop at the time. I think it was the only shop that sold the Saints top outside the club store at the time. perhaps they are delaying so supports forget the terrible end to the season we had. They seem to be waiting for something for the fans to get excited about.

Probably do a job for us at CB

I’ve heard that the release is being delayed so a big new signing can be part of the photo shoot. Who could this be? 🤔

Saints holding on for the draw against Spurs.

He’s the Shane Long, he’s the Shane Long, he’s the Shane LongAll day long, he’s the Shane Long!

Away is England Euro 96 away colour! You know the one we wore in that game!

Open top bus?

Kicks off with England v Austria at 8pm on Wednesday 6th July at Old Trafford.

So it all kicks off in the women’s euros on the 6th July. I feel this is a great opportunity to showcase the women’s game, as the men’s World Cup is not until November, so fans can focus on the women’s tournament, and May gain viewers and interest from football fans who would not normally tune in. It is already very well supported, but tickets are available for other games. I may try and get along to some, depending on dates and other commitments. So let’s champion the women’s game at international level and get them just that bit further and lift the trophy. Again, I know this is not for everyone, but if you want to promote anything then please do so in here. Oh it is in the Lounge as it is not Saints related (unless Rendell gets the call up), but if you want to move it then please do. https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/

Yep and me at Bishopstoke 😁

Correct. I believe most of our team work, and now face the dilemma of choosing football as a career or working and playing at a lower level.

See there is the problem. I don’t, I remember Speedie & Dixon 😂

Steady now 😂

Love these photos
