Football Special

Fair comment, I've had the banner printers add a * then small print "if they once again fail to appoint anyone with an ounce of football knowledge to actually have a strategy" Brentford could have a tough game v Arsenal in the storm, injuries to all of their key players would certainly help Let's hope 2025 picks up for us a bit, been a tough few months.

Northam banner needs to just be league table with Sports Republic Out stamped on top of it

I'd never encourage betting, but if you have a few spare pounds I'd recommend putting them on a Brentford win, odds seem generous at the moment (we're the only two teams still without an away win)

We all love a trier, there's been plenty like that over the years, he's a shit player but he's OUR shit player. I remember having a bet with a mate at Brentford away 2 years ago that he'd never score for us based on his debut, still on for that tenner

Bloody laughing stock really

Aren't Brentford still without an away win?

Often best sides play the loan market well, need people with the right contacts to pull off some deals

Whole end stands Middle blocks probably best for constant singing

I think so, lack of fitness will show in this run of games. Trains not great for this diverted via Havant due to railworks, Bournemouth also making the same journey as they have Fulham.

Hats off to the bloke behind me who changed words to the song Onuacho Onuacho Never mind his pole How about a goal Onuacho 👏

Yeah at 1-0 I think West Ham realised they could just see the game out, we'd lost all intensity

Yeah looked like he was holding back, broken finger still causing issues?

I probably need to watch the highlights, but at the game today he should have had a hat trick Came bloody close just needs a bit of luck

Buy your own seat again?

Their fans arent particularly enjoying this season, but we've heard that from other clubs this season who have still beaten us comfortably, particularly thinking Man Utd at home where we fell apart after bright start, could be similar. Some thoughts from the opposition https://www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=189850&sid=ab35e78e623391c9c1b2a8135143fe12

Yep and go and get some match fitness for the B team , should need to prove that having not played for so long.

Would be a good result to be honest, West Ham clear favourites for the win so anything better than that will take a good performance and deserve some credit. Danny Ings to nick a 1-0 is my prediction

Anyone still after a ticket quite a few gone up on the exchange now https://exchange.southamptonfc.com/selection/resale/item?performanceId=10228644215651&productId=10228644234694

Reminds me of Christmas shopping , I have months to plan and get it right but end up panic buying a load of shite in the final 24 hours That particular transfer day would have been Rasmus and Nathan Jones in full banter mode

I heard Stephens drove into training today playing death metal music loudly from his car....

January 2023 , a day of transfer business that was so bad we're still feeling the affects of it nearly two years on, quite incredible incompetence

You're right, we returned some tickets (600) to Man Utd out of the original allocation of just over 3000 we've reduced to 2,424, of which about 150 left to anyone on Saints database with a recent purchase. Nottingham Forest allocation of 2,932 is now on general sale but only about 75 left.

Forgot about him, we don't have any room in the squad until some leave? Or is he off to Turkey?

He looked exhausted before going off, did he have a knock?

Crying out for a forward who can make something out of nothing , Broja in his prime when we first got him, quick, strong. You look at Armstrong and he just gets brushed aside by defenders , Archer was the same when he came on unable to establish any presence on the pitch , looks so easy to defend against, poor service doesn't help
