I think it certainly will happen...eventually. Liebherr/Cortese got as far as 'artists impressions' over a decade ago, Gao came in with intentions of progressing it until his wings were clipped and now we have this latest development. But even though leases are nearing the end on the riverside wharfs, the cement works and others will need to be relocated. No easy task. Then you look at how many proposals have floundered around the city in recent years despite getting planning approval - a few major examples - Nelson Gate, Leisure World, Maritime Gateway (ToysRUs), Debenhams, the Bargate Quarter is stop-start. Material costs constantly escalating, a depleted UK construction workforce (it will be even harder now with the need to find enough tradesmen to build these 1.5m new homes over the next 5 years nationwide) great if it comes off but won't be holding my breath.

Anyways, more importantly, are we displaying the 'Pride of the South' banner across the Northam tomorrow?

Spurs must be rubbing their hands at the prospect of playing us. RM has consistently stated he won't change, he gushed over their manager doing the same. He will this weekend, they'll play exactly the same way that destroyed Man fuckin' City, it will just be easier this time. Postecoglou said thanks Russel for not changing. Again.

Yeah, too much time on my hands now I’m semi-retired…and should know better at my age! #notbignotclever

I agree, many of us accepted it was very likely that we’d go straight back down but another season in the Championship didn’t appear the worse prospect. But going down without a fight is unacceptable. So relegation wouldn’t be pinned on Lallana, as long as it wasn’t more of the same. But assuming RM’s coaching team go too, who does AL surround himself with? Not ideal but it’s a short-term option and saves the club a few bob rather than bringing in experience and would, imo, give the club an immediate lift.

Not very festive but… “Dragan, Dragan, sack the board*, Rasmus is a fuckin’ fraud” Don’t thank me…oh, you didn’t *I know some say he can’t but he’s the money man and it would at least send a message

To make more of an impact, there probably needs to be a bit more of this outside while the SR bods are entertaining their clients. But rather than flares and the supportive chants in May, more along the lines of “Sports Republic, your football is shit”, “You don’t know what you’re doing”...you get the gist

£20 adults (plus booking fee...) £5 under 18s - probably should have been a fiver across the board if they wanted a reasonable crowd for this! https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/ticket-information-for-swansea-fa-cup-fixture

He does sport the required beard so a good start. His club CD Santa Clara are based in the Azores so that means a 2,000 mile round trip for every away game, maybe he's sick of airports. Away to Middlesbrough next season will feel like a doddle.

Or knew his time here was going to be short and didn't really give a fuck. He needed a stepping stone to get to United from City.

You got that bit right. First time for everything.

Tedious PR* *insert your last 3 letters of choice However, I may be reading a bit too much into this but considering the possibility that he may have gone with that last sentence. Fingers crossed.

If some want to protest then boycotting games won't do much, they already have money in the bank from record season ticket sales. The club make little to no money on away games so that won't hurt much either. A bit of booing ain't making much difference but what may embarrass the board is if a noisy mob was stood outside the main stand disrupting the fun in the corporate suites. If things don't change and we timidly go back down then they may be in for a bigger shock next season as fans may very well turn their backs on the club.

Interesting to see that Muhammad is now the most popular boys name in England and Wales (and this also doesn't include variations of the name like Mohammed and Mohammad which rate high but counted separately). I'd say what's happening to our country is that it's rapidly changing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly4g2v0ej6o

Last Christmas I gave you my heart, But the very next day you gave it away. This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to Russe ...Tyler Dibling I'll take a stab at a 3-1 loss, Archer may have an extra spring in his step and get on the score sheet.

Only a day to wait for the next installment of an opposition manager *cough* gushing over RM's brave tactics. I think we can easily predict Unai Emery's glowing praise to the awaiting press "...I love the way he sticks to his principles, I particularly admired that inspired U-bend formation v Forest (whispers hope he tries that again soon) just keep doing what you're doing" Patronising (tick), condescending (tick), sarcastic (tick), bullshitting (tick).

As an Administrator are you asked to do this shit just to provoke a reaction to keep the board busy, or are you just a contrarian by nature?

Unfortunately, I don't think they've been discussing the manager's future with a TV crew filming it. They should be though.

Yep, best wishes Tommy

Probably...but only if they let us count the postponed game for all our suspensions

Yep, that's the reality, and you can probably chuck KWP into that mix too, but hanging onto the slim hope of holding out until the summer. Unfortunately they'll be lining up down Britannia Road for Dibling in Jan, fighting to get him before someone else does.

Let's hope the club's knees don't buckle under tempting offers for Dibling and Fernandes in Jan as then we'd be really really fucked.

I can certainly see this happening now as the transfer window opens shortly. The club will want to show ABK is fit and willing to potential suitors much as they unexpectedly chucked him in against Cardiff in the cup as the window was about to close. He should be in because he's a better player than anything else available for this match, and probably before too.
