This Charming Man

Have you looked at the pictures on the OS from Walsall last season? I don't think it could've been possible for the players to look any happier if they tried. They were even filming the scenes on their phones/video cameras. Their tweets after would also suggest they were impressed with the scenes.

For UEFA games, they have to put seats in. I've done a fair few grounds out in Germany. In Bundesliga 2 I've also done a few grounds and whilst most of the stands are normally half empty, the terrace is always rammed. For a recent Eintracht Frankfurt game, the ground holds 50k, there were 30k there but the terrace sold out in minutes and we missed out on tickets (luckily still jibbed on when the stewards weren't looking). Look at P'Boro the other night, the seats went unsold but the terrace was virtually full. There is still a demand for standing, just such a shame our government use Hillsborough as an excuse for not having it.

Someone help me out here, what the f/ck possesses you to give a sh*t? It's utterly cringeworthy.

I'm currently working on this, don't you worry. It will all be in place for next season.

Their ticket office think it's all over; http://www.whufc.com/articles/20120418/play-off-ticket-update_2236884_2739689

It's sh*t because myself, Turkish and Griffo have said so.

Where does it say there are only a few hundred left?

I won't feel smug at all. I'll just feel sorry for those celebrating at a TV screen whilst we're bouncing around in the ground with the players and staff..

He started the "you fat wotsit" chant after the 'keeper took a goal kick. He thought he was hilarious...

First of all, what are you going on about? And second, they'll know you're from Southampton as you won't look like something out of Children In Need.

Told by whom?

He says he doesn't want to sit on a quiet coach home, he'll probably be sat down watching The Voice with a takeaway come 8pm, whilst we're rampaging across the North of England in booze fuelled celebration mode.

Why? It's just a way to make some noise and make an opposition player feel a bit uncomfortable. Its just not an issue. I don't know why I'm even wasting my time debating it. Just find it incredible that something so innocuous can get under some people's skin as much as it clearly does.

We're 2 pages in and still nobody has been able to supply a valid reason as to why they think it's funny or amusing to chant something that a 15 year old kid would be embarrassed to say at school.

I know Middlesbrough is a bit backwards but I do believe car parks have recently been installed up there.

A mighty fine effort. Shame a few more don't have similar dedication and are just opting to watch it in the pub instead.

No chance. We're still going for the title.

Pipe down, Grandad. Looked quality that everyone in the seats stood was stood as well. Made me proud. We are Southampton, we'll stand where we want.

That's much more respectable. Suppose we've gone on a hell of a run on the road recently. Assume Reading and WHU are above us?

Just get the travel club. Not the greatest but at least you'll be there and it will get you back in time for work the following day.

And there we have a prime example of a modern day football fan. Would rather sit in their local and watch it, rather than be at the ground. You just can't beat that buzz of actually being there for something as big as this. I'd happily sit on a coach for a month if it meant I could be there. I can't wait for this and nothing could stop me from being there.

Norwich and Swansea both fairing much better than QPR as well.

I was too busy trying not to Jizz myself to celebrate that goal. Class touch from a class player. Though P'Boro did keep him fairly quiet this evening as they did with Lambert. Cork and Jos were immense this evening and I'm shattered so I'm of to bed.

Don't forget that tramp you had behind you at Elland Rd who was pretty much just screaming.
