SR would have pushed him out the door at the end of his breakthrough season. Another player trading success! 🙂

There's no link between ethnicity and intangibility. Baz gets criticism for the shots that go through him. I'd love him to do well here. I'd love all of our players to do well here. In the last few seasons I'm now happy for any of them to do well here. 🙂

Yeah. I've read that despite quotes from activists in the UK, that the actual violence is very low. But one death is one too many and I don't have any breakdown on circumstances. One thing that stood out was the number of shootings in Brazil though.

While there's still time to take to pay respects to the sad passing of any victim of violence, hate or those who have ended their own lives, there were also vigils around the UK https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/20/uk-trans-day-of-remembrance-vigils-you-can-attend-in-person-or-online/ There's also some harrowing (so trigger warning) details about such violence here https://tdor.translivesmatter.info/

Tsk. You read someone's posts for a while, and it turns out they are imaginary and off to SOG's lunches. 🙂

Clearly the solution is embrace people crossing the channel on boats, sign them up and we'll have a more functional navy. 🙂

Now that we've seen them, it's our turn to hide. UK reduced to playing hide and seek in the face of conflict. 🙂

Should I ever find myself as a pious misogynist shouting antisemitic abuse over my Guardian, I can just put it down to being one of those days. I could then go on to make condescending remarks to the mixed race bar maid in a happier frame of mind, knowing I was really fine. The idiot's idiot of the year award is going nowhere for another year.

Whatever your political stance, the message is clear: Distrust Facial Hair

I'm a bit shocked that still some people this odious man. I naively thought that still some people this odious man. But to hear that still some people this odious man, will make me reconsider my view that still some people this odious man.

Lots of good points Hypo. I'm not sure how current it is, but more about the FAB here. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/learn-more-about-your-fan-advisory-board I'm picking out:- We currently have 16 active and committed members who represent a broad cross section of our fanbase covering age, gender, Season and non-Season Ticket Holders and both Men’s and Women’s team fans - members sit in all different areas of the ground so you’ll likely have seen them about. And that they were originally selected through a supporter vote. So, no mandate for having to have the voices from only specific groups on there, whether identity politics led or any other politics. I'd want all voices and feedback heard. And I don't know that that's not currently the case regardless of who is currently on the FAB. The box ticking post was a good reminder of how cynically put together such things can be. I've no problem with the usual banter against the group itself. I would have for any personal shots. The people on there could be any of us, or our friends and family.

I'd not want to read homophobic/ transphobic comments on a board either. I should point out that my first reaction to one of the posts @SW11_Saint mentioned was disappointed surprise. A moment later, I realised that it was because I'd not grasped the point of it, which was about the representation on the FAB. This can be a challenging thread. In that it challenges views on our culture. Particularly with the T in LGBT, we've seen massive debates, changes in views, legislation and things like the Cass report, and various legal cases. All that should be kept in mind as valid areas for discussion, before any labelling/ offence is made/ taken in my view.

No call for that. Mods! 🙂

I think the title is more of a statement than invitation. Rank previous managers. Yes, they were rank.

I'd like to think he was personally responsible. He has boundless energy when it comes to petty vindictiveness. As we watch a lovely bit of unity as Trump and Democrats hold hands in front of a blazing pyre of shredded Epstein documents, I'm reminded of a Beeb podcast from the last couple of days. In it, the passing subject of Trump being a FBI informer was raised. "Like a lot of conspiracy theories, they can be relatively true" said the host. Quite a different stance from our fact checking, verifying Beeb. This was from the person to share what I thought was the only bit of honesty about their election coverage. That they had tried to see the US electorate through their own value system, rather than report on what was there. So, on one hand a bit disappointing to see him embracing conspiracies. Unless, of course, that was just a clumsy way of saying this one really was true.... Oh look, it's our middle eastern guest has arrived at the Epstein documents pyre, wondering if using it to dispose of dissidents would be less messy than murdering them in embassies. "Things happen" as Donald says.

Saw one of these in my town. Don't know what it's called put it looks like it has potential.

Our not winning is frequently more than a feeling. 🙂
