He’s a delight 😉

It does have a separate section - on the BBC Sport website anyway - it’s just that some of the headlines appear alongside the men’s. I treat it as I do other headlines (Scottish football, European updates) and skip past things I’m not interested in. Not a biggie.

I meant it’s a ‘different sport’ in terms of physicality etc. I don’t expect it tonne exactly the same as the mens game, and quite like that it isn’t (certainly less ego on the pitch, and greater sportsmanship). Your issue appears to be that a ‘minority sport’ is being over-promoted. I disagree. Woman’s football is one of the fastest growing sports globally, and it makes sense that countries would promote it to get women and girls playing. Getting people active, mobile and fit is a good thing. It also has untapped potential, and will continue to develop - you only have to look at the gates Barcelona are getting to see that. Even Newcastle (who are the fourth tier I think) got 22k along to SJP last season. We had 5.5k at SMS for the P*mpey game. A thriving womens football scene benefits football generally, at grass roots and above. Can’t see why promotion of it would be an issue. If you don’t like it, just ignore it 🤷‍♂️

At a rough estimate, including my daughters games, I’d say about 150-200.

Incorrect. Hard as it clearly is for you to fathom, people enjoy the womens game. I certainly do. Have a season ticket for Saints women and go every Sunday. Last season was fantastic. It’s a different game though - simply saying “it’s shit” means you are missing the point. Women’s athletics is different to men’s. What is better is the lack of ego and histrionics in women’s football, and there is much better sportsmanship, even at junior levels. I much prefer watching my daughter’s games to my son’s. if you don’t like it, or - oddly - it makes you angry, just don’t watch it. There are plenty of people who do like it, and it’s a very fast-growing sport. Can’t wait for the Euros…

So you’re saying they inherited your dinosaur views? Makes sense.

Great article. Definitely chimes with some of things I have heard...

Fine with me, traditional and non fussy. Thank goodness we now have a board focussed on our own culture and tradition rather someone elses. COYS.

Love the guy. Have a feeling he may replace another ex-Saints manager Nigel when he finally goes. I hope for his sake he does - think Leicester would be a good fit for him. A 'real club' (as opposed to plastic Reading), and a bit of money behind them.

Biruc wouldn't be in goal - he has found his right level in the Championship. A total liability in the PL.

3-5-2 and #TotalFootball here we come... Forster Fonte - Alderweirald - Gardos Clyne - Schneiderlin - Wanyama - Ward-Prowse - Bertrand Tadic - Pelle Subs: Davis/Boruc, Davis, Cork, Long, Mane + 2 kids (With J-Rod to come back and displace whoever).

Thought Pelle's attitude was excellent tonight. Never stopped working, never let his head drop despite things not always going his way, never stopped asking for the ball, and got into some great positions. Fans really got behind him too and he said afterwards how much it helped him (see what happens when you encourage a player?). Clearly grew in confidence and hugely deserved his goal. Hopefully the first of many.

Christ, that is all we need. Really thought Morgan was the one we could keep and build a team around. If guess if he foes go we have Vic, Corky and JWP to compete for his place. Don't we?

Great stuff! Saints are back! Not massively keen on the diagonal watermark on the stripes, but I am seriously quibbling with that. Very happy - a masterpiece compared to the last two seasons monstrosities. Red & white stripes, black shorts - so easy to get right. COYS!!!

But he's a good sport about it...! http://vod.com.ng/en/video/eaRxIf4o4jU/Phoenix-from-the-Flames-Ronald-Koeman

Ginger Saints managers - Alan Ball, Gordon Strachan - good times beckon! (okay, and Dave Merrington, but hey he kept us up!).

The future is bright, the future is orange. Hup Saints hup!

Get in!!!

It is??

Excellent article challenging some of the misogyny going on in the press (and on here!)... http://www.football365.com/mediawatch/9118412/The-Page-That-Is-Sexified-And-Ancient?utm_source=twitterfeed_Mediawatch&utm_medium=twitter

Mark Palios?

Maybe we should lay off of the personal insults towards the person who owns our club and has the future of it in her hands? Just a thought...
