I once logged on in an Italian internet cafe and a previous user's search appeared.. "neked boys". Obviously not one of my students of English...

Looks 5-a-side pitch size.. The planning document is not available at the moment but I do hope the flats are better quality than the normal rubbish in this country. Balconies, bike lock ups, decent insulation and EV charging, but whenever planners try and impose central government dilutes standards. As long as the residents don't end up complaining about traffic on match days!

Yes, there's never really been a professional women's game to attract those looking at it as a reasonably lucrative career, whereas it always has been for boys, particularly the less acadamic. We've all observed the lads coming up through the ranks at Saints as at many clubs, and some you think wouldn't have too many alternative well-paid career options open to them.

Just seen the list and that's quite a few players. Obviously we aren't paying enough for some of them to go full time, with all the considerations posted further up thread. Only 13 on the retained list, so it will be interesting to see how we recruit. Sara Luce is a keeper. My team so need a keeper, but I doubt she'd want to troll around Hants Div 3... shame.:-)

Are you going to wait until the fixtures are out before telling us that's what you hoped for? 🙂 Bit of a long shot to get ITK status! I'm fine with anything as long as they don't then suddenly change the game to a Friday night or Sunday lunchtime.

Missed that one, who is he?

I suppose the only bright spot is that at least JWP wasn't involved in this particular shambles. I'd make some allowances for the long season and UEFA trying to cram in even more games oh 4..

I don't think they'll be educating you, as you obviously don't care anyway. The only person who has liked your post so far is exactly who you'd expect it to be..

From the minute by minute reports I'm reading I'm glad I didn't go down the pub to watch this. "Raheem Sterling shows his pace to sneak in behind and earning a corner, but Reece James cannot get his delivery past the first man. Unforgivable that, a subbing offence." Perhaps JWP isn't so bad after all..

I can't see it myself, but that could be a hattrick of players from Southampton the Leicester fans would be really happy with...

When you get to my age sweetheart, they're all special..

Please no, I'm not a fan of Willy..

The last shirt I got was free from a wholesaler's promotion, and I'm certainly not the demographic who wears them to games or out and about, although might wear one when out jogging etc. I was thinking about getting the current goalkeeper's orange shirt in a sale for added visibility when out cycling! They do seem to make a bit of a meal of it though. Can't see it being delayed for any signing or they'd have to wait another couple of months...

You can tell the football is boring!

No, nor any shags around here..

Usually we find out the details from the opposition website or local sports rag, so keep your eyes open, foreign based fans!

Played the full 90 minutes too, which must be a first since his injuries.

Le Havre is also handy for keeping an eye on him, although not quite as handy as when the Portsmouth ferry went there. If this were to go ahead presumably with recall option but then how many games would he play? It's all a bit subjunctive..

More competition. You also have to attract better coaches and young players with your facilities. Plus Tunit wasn't asking you to be interested in women's football, so why you had to tell us I don't know, but the fact is he was pointing out that there were other teams to be catered for by the facilities.

My match day experience depends on which pub I go to beforehand, who I meet and whether the trains are on time. The performances and results I no longer rely on but a win always improves it, I seem to recall. Many clubs have decent screens and I often wonder when we'll get some. RobM, I've renewed too.. Sigh..

And a few tips as to what to avoid in terms of back post defending from TAA. It very much reminded me of some of the goals we conceded..

With regard to the coaching team I think there was a bit of paralysis under Gao after he got his funds frozen, and following the takeover the decision might have been taken fairly quickly to change matters but with a season(and contract) end the natural time to do it, for at least two of the three. It will be interesting to see what funds are released this summer, and it will be more than we've had recently, so perhaps RH will be given more time. It's a close run thing but think I'd be happy with that: when we've played well it's been good to watch, and perhaps a little more quality will mean we can sustain it for longer and get more points from the Norwichs of this league too.

His son is called Horatio? Poor bu&&er.

Ooo, so I must have been semi-pro then when I played in Italy! Training twice a week and away matches were at least an hour away and up to 3+ on occasions. Plus of course I kept myself fit by going running etc. Just without any pay but at least no subs to pay either!

Still want them to lose mind..
