I mean yes, it is very impressive! Manchester City U21 Record (2024–2025) After transferring from West Ham to Manchester City in August 2024, Mubama had a standout campaign leading City's Elite Development Squad (EDS) to the Premier League 2 title in the 2024–25 season: Premier League 2: 9 appearances, 11 goals, and 4 assists (highlighting an exceptional goal-per-game ratio at the youth level). Comparison: West Ham U21 / Academy Record Before joining City, Mubama built a reputation as a lethal goalscorer in youth ranks with West Ham: West Ham U18: 61 appearances, 43 goals (including a star turn in their 2022–23 FA Youth Cup-winning run where he scored 5 goals in just 3 matches). West Ham U21 / U23 (Premier League 2): 35 appearances, 22 goals. Across his broader youth/U21 career academy matches (spanning West Ham and Man City), Mubama consistently averaged close to or above a goal every match. International U21 Record (England) At the international level, Mubama has also carried that scoring form into the England U21 setup: England U21s: 8 appearances and 5 goals, featuring heavily in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers.

Thanks for getting stuck in here. I've only kept part of your message as it is quite long to quote, but, your note already read better than the minutes. Minutes seem like a hugely archaic way of doing things and always strike me as school governor or village hall type meetings. Ugh. I think the minutes (if you're using them) could be written in a more modern way - I mean just use an AI meeting summariser which actually do come across as less formal and do capture the real meaning of a sentence. Your text above read very differently as you explained it better. Or even not minutes, just action points and a podcast?? @TotalSaintsPod may kill me for this, but maybe ask for a 10 min slot with those guys?? Re the Level 1 invite - not a joke, it was in the 'minutes' from last November or something (I did go back and look at them), which actually leads to your next point about being better engaged with fans. That Level 1 invite thing was the wrong approach, rather than going out, asking fans, doing surveys, getting on podcasts, posting on forums etc. So I hope to see more surveys, podcasts and forum posts from you guys - genuinely. That would come across better than posting occasional minutes about what many people here (and you know we're critical 😂) perceive as pointless - even if just the way it was written. Needs a much better presence - I think asking Steve for an area is a great shout too. But thanks @St Louis - message much appreciated.

COME ON YOU SAINTS!

I read through the previous minutes. "The FAB demanded to know why they weren't invited to the launch party of Level 1" "Agreed the club would organise a stadium tour for the FAB" Those two items alone made my eyes roll. This is not advising the club what fans want, far from it.

Are they serious?? 😂 Bloody hell. I sit in the actual family corner with my son (block 13), most of the language and views is worse than what comes over from the away fans anyway. And besides, it is a football match, not a fucking church. I've not heard one person complain. Actually I see far more people I know and recognise in that corner, plus the regulars we've got to know over the last 3 years there, it's not a bad spot. "placement of the away fans, and how close they are to a family zone" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Christ on a bike.
-
I like the goal music too. I think a prolonged celebration is decent; I mean you get the initial roar and "get the fuck in" etc., then you get to dance (or whatever) like a prat for a few seconds. All good fun.
-
I'm split. Part of me wants to get rid and move on as I think we've upped our stadium game. Part of me likes the crappy tradition ... 😂
-
I (now) completely agree. First season it was a struggle, even much of last season before Christmas it was a struggle ... but maybe that could be put down to bad football until Tonda came in. The sound now seems to more readily fill the ground and you're right, it is now multiple times we've come away talking about a great atmosphere and then watching highlights listening to commentators say "just listen to that", marvellous. Also, big shout to the stadium team for the videos, petty trolling on the scoreboards and choice of music - it all seems to work well and help drive the crowd as well from the start. Much better on Sunday than the pyro display of last year which always feels a bit shit. As I said, I hate the fathers gun as it's always sung when we never play them, but hearing all four sides of the ground sing it on Sunday was brilliant. Fuck off pompey, we're Saints 😂

Maybe he wanted to wear his sliders but had cold toes? 😂
-
Ah fair enough, looked different from the stands 😂
-
No - he waved his arms in annoyance and happened to look at the player who fouled him whilst doing it. Ref (who was a bit crap anyway) perceived that as waving a card, so, waved a real card. That's how I saw it, it was ridiculous.
-
We were singing "Fuck off Pompey, we're Saints" Whatever, it all worked 😂
-
Hadn't seen that, brilliant, thanks for sharing - a really good reflection on the atmosphere, well done Sky. Good to see Ramsdale on the pitch too, I hadn't noticed him and then the slightly drunk older lady in the gillet wobbling around 😂 Proper day.
-
There were only 3 coaches, I was stuck behind the escort at the bottom of the M3 onto the Avenue, so I assumed they were the Winchester coaches. And yeah, The Liquidator went down really well, good choice - my son was humming it on the way back 😂 (and the Wolves management now seem boring as hell)
-
Yeah I think they all are - I know Claire definitely is.
-
Forgot about the dinlos of our own too. Guy behind me today, CONSTANTLY blurting out "run Lauren, run" ... "move Lauren, you're lazy" Not sure what was more annoying, having a go at Larin or calling him Lauren. FFS.
-
"Come on then, while I stand here and don't make an effort to move forwards" What a dinlo.
-
Absolutely loved today. Atmosphere round the ground started off in the right tone, then bar 5 mins or so either side of halftime, the ground was great. Personally I hate the fathers gun chant as it's usually sung when we aren't playing the prick, but today with what appeared to be all four sides of the ground singing it, that decent. Got stuck behind the escort on the avenue ... vile having to follow them. As already mentioned, the pettiness of this scoreboard was first class. Well played club.
-
Brilliant to see him warm up and come on, he's such a good player
-
That genuinely made me laugh with the arm up high, very funny as it was all new then
-
Notice Harwood-Bellis not even on the bench for Villa again. Such a weird purchase for them.
-
Northam Fan Zone Kiosks 20 (Chapel), 35 (Kingsland), 42 & 44 (Northam) will all be open after the final whistle to allow fans to purchase food and drink and remain in the concourse and help our egress from the stadium with the different restrictions in place and home fans not being able to leave via Melbourne Street. 2pm - Live music from Calum Lintott 3pm - Live music from The Moonrunners
-
I presume the conversation flows something like this ... "snort, wot u got dem solarrr fings for, snort, they dint charge ure milkfloat at night does it, snort, lefty dross" Yes?
-
Funny because I watched that again last night too 😂
-
This was a really interesting interview - The woman in the middle was awful and got cut off, silly questions, but the questions from Alfie House were spot on. You can see Tonda reacted well to a decent set of questions with the right tone. Also interesting with the Irish reporter from the Times at the end asking about Peretz and Azaz with Tonda saying they'd chatted BEFORE international duty.
