Football Special

One of the best FA Cup nights at The Dell, magic, great memories, it was same season we got to Wembley in ZDS, it wasn't *all* bad under Branfoot

He's down the pecking order behind another ex-Saints legend Dan Nlundulu

I dread to think how much has been spent on match tickets and travel going away this season, crazy really

Also, at least we're not the only team making a mess of things

It will all depend on recruitment, get that right , especially some good loan signings, and it could be an enjoyable season.

Agree, top flight pretty much a closed shop , makes championship lack competitiveness

Feels that way to me, initial boost in interest after lionesses won the Euros, England ladies got good crowds at St Mary's giving them something to build on but it's never really taken off. Main thing is beating the skates later this month

I can predict now our bunch of losers melt at fratton and we lose there, also predict Ruben Selles Hull will beat us, plus chance Charlton will come up from league one, if that happens I'll put my house and life savings on Nathan Jones beating us

It's a bit of a collectors item though as not many were produced? I think the trip to Bucharest was iconic , the shirt worn not so much

It's a shame as Gao was very passionate about Saints and his daughter Nelly had struck up a lovely friendship with Kat.

Need someone with good connections to play the loan market well

Liverpool look excellent, fair play, however discussing fixtures clearly PSG over two legs and league cup final a week after our game will be priority now they are so far ahead in the league , title is done

Top man is Nigel

I'd like to see that Lawrie Macmenemy given the job til end of season , he'd sort them out

Plymouth beat them, why shouldn't we

Just read about that, got to laugh you really do , I remember going.there twice 1991/92 season, think 7k at ZDS cup game and 9k crowd at league game

He's a local lad but 'fan' might be stretching it a bit, if anything he's a Sholing fan

Would be fascinating being a fly on the wall in the meetings when these decisions were made, clearly no strategy whatsoever, yeah he'll do sign him up , it's amazing an industry with such money swilling around and so many chancers bluffing their way along , just save the time, sign a cardboard cutout and give the money to charity to at least do some use instead

Travelling back now, usual time wasted watching this bunch of cunts masquerading as a football team, they're laughing at us putting in performances like that, Chelsea have some decent players but you'd never know as we gifted them goals anyway . That defence reminded me of my Sunday league days when short of players and someone's 60 year old Dad would make up the numbers , utter shambles and not an ounce of pride amongst the lot of them.

Sooner or later we've got to improve, surely it can't get any worse can it?

Yeah looks like they are going to wait until the summer , so we'll still be paying Martin for a whole longer

Sheffield United v Leeds was a good game, both sides would comfortably beat us currently. Leeds look certain to go up so at least we won't have to play them next season
