Dr Who?

So looks like Long will just leave at the end of the season.

I tried to like but it came up with the below. Is there a limit in a day now that you can like?

Cheaper plastic?

I will do this. I have a chest of 8 draws 😉

I really like Pap’s place and he is one of the good guys. Always clashed with him a lot while at school with him and through my 20’s, but he has his way as tells it as it is and I always used to find that tough. Now older I can appreciate the stuff he says and agree with most of it. I also share the same sarcastic and dry humour. The first fanzine online that I used was the Ugly Inside and used to love it. It used to have the Friday drinking club which was lunchtimes on a Friday and also a football team that used to play against the fanzine of the team Saints were playing on the Saturday. A great Saturday morning match. Then there was the greatest one for me, the Saints Forever, but I think that it was all to do with the timing. Then this one. I’m a Saints fan, but what I like about Paps place is it is more about appreciating ALL that is Southampton. The place I was born and grew up until the age of 21 and moved back from 2001-2006. Now in Carlisle and never to return it will always be the place I grew up and that is what makes Paps place so special to me. but after around 3 years of having other stuff going on in my life and tough times fighting depression, I think I am fully back and going to watch the Saints again with my 9 year old son. This is the place for the 100% Southampton Football Club indulgence.

Southampton Football Club, have always been a joke when it comes to this sort of thing. What have they been doing with these season tickets? You can still post them out even if fans were not allowed in the ground or whatever lame excuse they are using. You send them out to paying customers and if circumstances change, then you adjust and communicate to them what is happening. what is the reason for them screwing up anyway? What is there excuse? Is it COVID? Is it Brexit? Whatever it is we all know it’s bollox.

There is/was only one other in Carlisle and now they do not go. I have seen/know of at least 4 other Saints fans but they are not on here.

Finding £600 in a draw that you put there about a year ago and forgot!

I will be going to mostly away games this season as I am now in a position to travel to watch the Saints again. I will be going mainly with my 9 year old son. So for me it will be in, park, food, match and home. I have been to all the grounds in the premier league except Brentford, but most quite a few years ago now, but looking to get that back on track, and as I live in the great border city (Carlisle) the northern games will all be a tick ✅ along with many of the others. For Newcastle away I would suggest as it says in the link below that you park at Newcastle College and walk. I have posted in the Cumbria Saints and offering lifts from and back to Carlisle and anything on route. https://footballgroundguide.com/leagues/england/premier-league/st-james-park-newcastle-united.html

Man U will be top of the premier league come Sunday evening. lets hope that we can get a win at Newcastle.

Jeez that’s inflation. I have not been to a home game since 2016! 😱. Being a northern saint I just go to away northern games mainly. Hopefully I will get to a couple of home games this season.

I used to do this about 15 years ago when I came down from Royston for games as used to go for food with a mate and walk to the ground. But if you are going for drive down, game, drive straight back home, I think the Coalporters is very good for a quick getaway, as long as you are going M27.

If you are coming from out of town towards St Mary’s over the northern bridge, take a sharp left straight after the bridge and there is a rowing club. £5 and 5 minute walk to the ground. rowing club is Coalporters Quay warehousing and the old industrial area and car park is there.

😞 very sad news.

I am trying again a few years on as I am now a member of Northern Saints. I know of only 1 other Saints fan in Cumbria, who is in Carlisle, but the northern Saints know of this one as well. I know there are a few around as I see them, but doubt they post on here. but if you are lurking then I am offering lifts to ALL the league away games from Carlisle.

Right that’s that, when are the fixtures out for the premier league. oh is that Dalek still posting? 😬

Yeah alright I was 1! Cannot believe my sad did not take me! Ha ha

I can even begin to read that, it hurts my head, but I am sure it is really good.

Might get a draw.

I think Bournemouth will finish above us, but I am also in the Puel in camp. He needs to be given the summer, to try and get his own team in place. Key players fully fit and a regular season. I will see how things are going by Christmas and then make a judgment. to continually finish in the top 6/7 is going to be a tall ask. Last season we had Liverpool and Chelsea being rubbish, but stick them in the top 6 and we struggle to get in. Spurs Chelsea Man City Man U Liverpool Arsenal these are going to be hard to budge, but no reason why we cannot be the best of the rest. On to next season. You get some weird results at this stage of the season!

Me as well. Needs another season at least. Few changes in playing staff and players back from injury and we should be much better next season. Do not agree with chopping and changing and neither does Kat either, which is far more important.

It is very strange as our home form was very good up until the period between Christmas and new year, when we lost twice in 3 days at SMS. We had only lost at home to Chelsea in the league at home before this and only twice in the league at home in 2016. Weirdly arounf Mid late December we started improving our terrible away record. Weird.
