Can please no one call this an 8/10 or 9/10 window. I’m actually sick of these cursed high ratings. Every year.

Correct. I’m convinced it has something to do with Tik Tok, as I keep hearing about groups called “lemons” who promote stone island, watching green street, and all copy the same songs - despite them not scanning.

fckn ell. Either his backs gone or the other person provided a nice cushioned landing.

I agree he wasn't given a chance by fans, they were calling him sh*t before he even joined. However, you can agree with this notion whilst acknowledging he was a terrible manager and didn't deserve the support.

Was he the same keeper whose air-shot led to our goal in the home fixture? Or did they change goalkeepers.

Unlike any previous season where we can attempt to chuck someone straight into the team, under Rusty’s style this is almost impossible without looking out of place. Was the same with Holgate when he first came in against Sunderland and with Rothwell yesterday. Was all over the place, but he will learn in time.

To be fair to him, he did allow himself to disappear between September-December

We haven't won a league since 1960. Draw and take the fight to Leicester.

Northam and Chapel should been given safe standing. Our problem with atmosphere is its inability to spread around the ground. It’s decent in the Northam half of the ground, terrible from the opposing side. By setting up Chapel safe standing for a small section with cheaper tickets it could really create a good atmosphere for the whole stadium. I wholly believe the idea people go to “where the atmosphere is” can easily, in some cases be translated to “people go to where you can stand”. Just give them the tools. If given cheaper tickets to stand people will, and with the added bonus of being away from the away fans. This is perfect for those of us who find away fan “banter” unoriginal and boring. Additionally, on the acoustics side this would be best placed to combat the away fans from the other side. What better way for Mr Parsons (sitting in a half way line seat) to depict who wins his special singing competition. Additionally, I don’t want St Marys to be in a situation where we have a Watford / Tottenham / Villa scenario whereby our fans next to the away end sit down. Watching people get the piss taken out of them whilst they sit down trying to watch the game minding their own business is embarassing and i’d hate for it to happen to families at Saints. Don’t know if anyone feels the same.

People disrespect the COT. However having a nosy look at the Saints timeline a second ago for real news, and what is happening… KWP is leaving as he’s deleted all his Instagram Posts… i’m not kidding, this is being reported by Saints accounts as if it were big transfer news. Christ on a bike. I’d rather read this sh*t.

How else will we up our GDP stats, enrich our culture, and gain more world class doctors? Think of the cuisine.

What a lovely man. Great player as well of course.

Hospitality boxes make this impossible, also the corporates won't want the away fan stench that close to them.

So the Northam End is arising...?

Ridiculous Everton are still allowed in that league. Their issues have been known for years and having escaped relegation so narrowly they should've been relegated with docked points last year. Same goes for the Premier League taking ages to address the likes of Chelsea, City. In fact, it's quite astonishing Forest will probably face punishment first.

Nickmyshitter really giving us all the goodies this January.

It’s a sad day when someone chooses Hull over us

Just keep the momentum.

What could this line be changed to. So that it doesn't mention pompey....

Leicesters Ndidi out for 3 months,

Ironically that farmer song is one I have actually heard irl... this season. Ive read through the threads of old songs, some not bad ones in there, but would need someone who’s actually sung them before to start them. I’m also cautious of nostalgia related to our atmosphere ever being that good. As @franniesTachesaid, people who actually know these songs have moved away due to influx of those of my generation coming in (mostly from the northam). I’m not going saturday but I know Walsall have an everywhere we go ditty, of which our version is always there if one wishes to sound like a Cub Scout. It could or could not possibly be worse than singing at Stu Armstrongs fine hair or Onuachu’s d*ck.

That got back up and running quickly. I was told only a few weeks before it wasn't going to come back at all.

Thank the lord I stopped going away a few seasons back. It seems my generation of fan are actually obsessed with singing about libraries - I think it stems from what you see on tik tok and other "funniest football chants" videos... Which is why i'm content in the IN as atleast theres a very small group who sing songs about the city, club and occasionally players. This is despite the fact people try outsing us with unfunny banter my little sister wouldn't even find funny. Speaking as someone who cannot come up with a song for love nor money the makers of songs pre covid (think ings and IN arising) have deserted us and the vacuum has been entered by people the equivalent of John Lennon being replaced by Yoko. Unrealistic, but what we need is someone with a borderline obsessive music addiction becoming our lyrical genius as well as some old guy to give us some of the former repotoire of songs which involve the city - ie acceptable milton road songs which can be adapted or just copied. Young people have no idea of the tune and we're at a point where if you go to a game you'd think singing football in a library every two seconds is normal: knowing the words to our own forgotten chants could be a turning point to the opposite of what really could be rock bottom. For the record I though last home game was decent support with quite frequent player chants and only had that fratton park falling down sh*te once and OWTS kept to a minimum, which proved it to be loud. Even had a rendition of KUMB which was good though not loud Sorry for the fairly long reply about people singing at football matches, it ain't the f*cking X-Factor.

Yes, i'd love Martin to use the new shoehorn formation he's been working on behind the scenes.
