I'd imagine there are a lot of pints being drunk.

@trousersWould they have been allowed to though?

Except both of those are far better now than he ever was. No thanks.

Orange wins.

And, and, and, and. But LCFC are broke so it'll have to be a swap deal. How many of their squad = 1 Bazunu?

Fuck YES!

His decision-making, eye for goal and runs are very good. He's too good for the third div.

The thing I like about that is that you can see him calling for the ball and defenders leaving it for him.

Don’t cry for us middle burrow The truth is you’re nothing to us Sad town of losers Chavs on all corners Your town smells of shit You’re welcome to it Feel free to change the words to something good.

Dislike podcasts and reporters. House is occasionally passable, but that's it. Wasn't keen on TE when he started but since he got us playing well I've decided to put up with him. Agree that probably for the only time Steve Grant was bearable and kept perspective. Saw no reason to join in with the pile on and hardly ever do, but you lot who complain that everything's made up and then still believe it ... .

Money talks. And so do interns - for a fee.

It's not illegal. Nor is it unlawful. It's a breach of the rules of a competition. Small fry.

The only thing we need to do with our crest is put W Salt beside the tree. Edit. Got beaten to it by a post above.

While you might, FF, I'm afraid I don't like your PP.

Well they weren't very good at the time, nor at the beginning of the season, but this year both have really shown a lot more to their games. Especially THB who I think thrives on being captain as well. I've gone from disliking them all (including Manning) greatly to by and large being very glad we've got them. THB seems to be maturing somewhat while also still taking the piss out of the opposition.

Except he said what about selling one or two; so he'd catered for that and we'll get an ok amount for Ramsdale, get him off the books, won't lose too much (if any) due to amortisation, will get rid of the likes of the expensive and not worth it Aribo, etc.

Why? Does he have an iphone?

There was no 'crime'. There was an alleged breach (admitted) of a thing that has no real weight in law directly: Uberrima Fides and breach of a specific article, the terms surrounding which had not been drafted anywhere near well enough for them to not be subject to serious scrutiny and certainly watering-down were they ever tested robustly.

The High Court =/= CAS. There should always be recourse to the law proper (i.e. not some jumped-up bunch of bandits taking cash for nothing and admiring their arses in the mirror).

It clearly was as is any reading of a decision that is clearly in and of itself defective, as is the process and/or procedures surrounding it, given what should be in place for what is essentially at first a piece of investigation. Anyone who can read (too few) could clearly pick up on this but as the vast majority (see the morons on that podcast that's advertised here) have learned nothing but that they must be what they are and that repeating words is to promote a fact and/or facts (that are not). I appreciate that's a bit abstruse but I cba to write a 200,000 word essay which is otherwise what's required.

Crap. He had access to a huge amount of informal knowledge (stuff on Whatsapp, X, tik tok, talking to people); he wasn't in a vacuum. SFC/others will have an anonymous reporting line for misdemeanours or the like. He could call the grass line that they advertise on match days. He has plenty of opportunity to 'play the victim' and this was hardly an impartial, informed, investigative tribunal despite the bullshit description of it. He could anonymously tell the FA/EFL and have them investigate early the allegations. He's an intern, back for a second time. All he has to do is go and intern for someone else - you can move from call centre to call centre to call centre. His level of job is more akin to that than from moving from a PHD in marketing to Physics (i.e. high level, highly specialised, distinct, discrete, requiring a large degree of capability to explain the analogy because clearly otherwise you wouldn't get it although whether you would if I spelled it out in alpabetti spaghetti is also questionable) so he has a large degree of freedom and no-one would know other than he 'wanted to be close to his spiritual roots'. I suspect strongly that personality clashes play a part in this; there are large overtones of vindictiveness. I can see TE being quite demanding (as efficient people, dare I say Germans, can be) and that that can rub those who are used to an easier life under e.g. Will Still (useless cunt) who started life as a ... shock horror .... analyst as you'll know having watched interviews with him and who seemed eager to please rather than actually be effective. I prefer effective; it gets us unbeaten in 20+ in the league and isn't Russell Martin 'Boreball' bullshit. Some of the footy we played under TE last season was excellent. He had Flynn Downes running back 40 yards and putting in a contender for tackle of the season, he had Ryan (fucking useless cunt no more) Manning turning on the ball like prime Zinedine Zidane, he had us playing stuff that at times was so sublime Keegan and Channon would have been green with jealousy. While we lost (deservedly) to Man City, we held our own for large parts of the game defensively. I can't remember the last time I always felt calm at a game even when we went behind. Always. Never doubted the team, never doubted that we'd come up with something. Very un-Southampton like. We were good. We were in control. And by fucking God, we were good. Damn good.

The avatar's getting old. As are you. Retire. (with all those pints you'll never find a use for).

Looking at Gibbo, I think a semi's all he can hope for.

When we go there next year surely one of the chants must be: Is this your training ground, Is this your training ground, etc and we do all have to go up with binoculars, rent rooms at the golf course and cancel as late as possible, smile at everyone we meet cause we have teeth, offer them vouchers for slimming world, ask them what it's like to be a Geordie, etc. As for the atmosphere here, very muted. I couldn't tell the score at all from watching people but eventually clocked it might have been Hull cause they had some people walking round with medals on having photos taken with them. The bug-eyed northern filth just sang 'oh when the reds' ... I guess they just want to be us. Only regret is I didn't pack a Saints shirt cause I didn't want to tempt fate. Otherwise I'd wear that out and have fun with the tigers. Hope they don't maul.

Just walked past Wembley Stadium (I was up here for the football, but it got cancelled) and saw a sign congratulating Hull City. Did I miss something? Been out all day. And to the person who first wondered who the first team to lose a semi (oo er) and a final would be; you sir, must be the scion of Nostradamus. Any chance you fancy doing some spying, oops, observing for us in the near future? I hear we might have a vacancy. Take that with a pinch of salt, if you wish. Now off to read the Sunderland/Newcastle and other teams' forums.
