Jeremy Corbyn

My most traumatic time as a young Southampton fan was the excitement I had going in to the 98/99 season with Ripley, Hughes, Hurst etc, thinking we were going to have a great season to then watch us dive bomb in the opening 5 games.

Real shame, was there a fee?

I'd be surprised. They'll have to place a value against Obafemi for accounting and tax reasons, so they'll have a "total value" associated to the Armstrong transfer that I assume the % sell on fee will be associated to that. That said, the value associated to Obafemi can be significantly deflated for convenience.

It's a step towards an United Ireland. Which may not be a bad thing in the long term but to expedite unintentionally is embarrassing.

Worst possible situation if Italy have to forfeit or are essentially polaxed by COVID - I know that's not what's happening here, but I think I'd rather we lost than had a victory by default.

Jim Ratcliffe doing some pre-acquisition money laundering.

By section I assume you mean the dribbling right? Have you seen the responses to any time GB News tweet about any sort of change?

Breaches UEFA's rules rather than anything "legal". Personally think it's really wank to boo a national anthem, boo during the minutes of play by all means, but booing opponents' national anthems just makes us look like chavs.

Yeah that was my thought. Hopefully they're lowing their fans expectations in order to bring in Danny.

I haven't claimed to be "the" Jeremy Corbyn, just "a" Jeremy Corbyn. Many of the people I met were much further left than Corbyn.

Also extremely handsome.

I did some "grassroots" campaigning for Labour a couple of years ago and I'm not surprised by Starmer's reaction. Whilst in theory having large numbers of local people campaigning for you should be a good thing, it's become infested with extremists, mostly who are very young and very irritating. I witnessed first hand how off putting they were to most of the general public.

There is a weirdly strong correlation between the "Capitalizm rulez - freedom, freedom, freedom" brigade and the "Can't believe they pay Gawwy Lineker so much monies" crowd. The BBC is primarily a commercial operation and clearly these big money starts earn their salaries or they wouldn't be paid them.

Our performance in this tournament has been much stronger than 2018. We've set the record for the longest run without conceding in European Cup history, beat the Germans and Croatia and thumped Ukraine. I think there was a feeling in 2018 that we'd shown a bit of metal but in general got to the semi through a nice draw, this time we've got there comfortably.

Very good signing - explains why they stopped their interested in Perraud.

The strength of the squad is almost secondary. Which version of Ralph's chaos we choose this season will determine whether we go down or not.

What's happening with Valery? Has he been completely given up on?

Will be interesting to see what the "freedom of speech" crowd say about this. On the one hand it restricts BLM which they'll love, on the other hand its an affront to freedom which they think they think is important. I for one think it's shit and a step backwards for a modern democracy.

Seem to be a lot of England fans who were born yesterday. Being born in the late 80s the idea of making semi finals and finals and actually turning up to knock out games consistently is remarkable - Southgate is doing a brilliant job, especially compared to his predecessors.

Presumably because moves are already being made that way. His options are going to be 1. head home, 2. go somewhere for money/fame/fun (e.g. USA) or 3. play for a club like us who are lower down the league. The only reason he's likely to want to do 3 is if he wants to play in the Qatar world cup and keep his levels up, otherwise we're not really a very attractive proposition.

One for sure, I suspect a second. You ain't booing the knee if you're having good sex.

Racists are worse at sex so afraid not.

Agreed. Starmer is the Neil Kinnock, bring the party back from Corbynism and make them competitive again, albeit 2024 will come too soon. Then once that's happened bring in the next great hope and beat the Tories in 2029 - which you'd expect by then should be possible.

Arias is coming back for a swansong.

Whilst it nearly cost them B&S, having Galloway fighting them is great for labour in the long term. Very few people have time for Galloway, even on the far left and this will help make Starmer's Labour look more "normal".
