The Cat

Has all the defensive attributes to be one of the best around but seemingly not the attitude to back it up. Sad that his time with us ended on a sour note, you only have to read the club statement on his departure to know that he won't be missed by them.

Good to see that there's a big jump in tickets sold in the 18-25 age group. Should help with the atmosphere. There's a load of kids around 17-19 who have started going more seriously in the past couple of seasons since lockdown which is great.

9 goals in 22 for Albirex Niigata FC in Singapore last season. He might be 37 now but can clearly score goals and we love a link with an ex player. Plus he has the experience many fans crave and knows the Championship. The more I think about it the more this makes sense.

Are you telling me there's no requirement to send £500 of Bitcoin to the username of Turk1sh to gain entry to the COT? It seemed so legit. Can't believe I've been scammed.

Imagine if Leeds and Leicester finish top 2 and then we play Boro in the play off final.

Yeah that was me. Then went back on the last day to watch Moin Ali win us the game. Was an enjoyable test.

I wouldn't if it was you. It's actually code for the human centipede that Turkish is setting up with naive Saints fans desperate for a morsel of info. Sadly for them it won't be transfer rumours that they are consuming.

Hilarious.

Not sure what's happened to KWP. He looked a big downgrade on Livramento yesterday. He's really regressed over the past year or so from being one of our best, most consistent players to someone who looks like they are going through the motions.

Pretty much every post you make is slagging off Bazunu. Has he fucked your wife or something?

Surprised no one has come out with the "enjoy him while you can" statement yet because it seems to be a requirement on here for any player who looks a good prospect.

AA played alright today. However if we're playing 1 up top with Tella and Edoize wide you are relying on midfielders filling the box which is most likely Alcaraz's job. One issue with those 3 front players is that Edoize never scores. So he'd have to be contributing a lot of assists or creating multiple chances per game to make up for the lack of goals. Likely we'll be getting another striker anyway though.

Alright, semi final. And nearly beat West Ham who the media were jizzing over for winning that competition.

We lost 1-0 to a team who got to a European final last season. They will be better than any other team we play in the league this season. I thought we played well. I enjoyed the style which was a mix of possession and pressing. Once we get the final few players in to suit the style we'll be looking like a very decent team.

It's because 50% of our fans are utter bellends. I'll let you work out which 50% that is.

Very much enjoying the fact the hoardings are flashing up ads for Sharkey's Sports bar and Solent Uni rather than random crypto companies and Chinese firms. Also for tech fans the new screens are very nice.

I'm really enjoying this

3 minutes in and some twat in the Kingsland shouts "get it forward"

It was yesterday. Lost 5-0.

A few new names in the U18 side playing out in Italy at the moment. 3 of the starting 11 were born in 2008, including Gomes who will surely be a regular in the team this season. Nice to see my son's friend was captain.

Currently yes, but the owners want to develop it so it may not be around as a music venue much longer.

We had a similar run when we went up from League 1. Was Brighton top and then us and Huddersfield battling for second, seemed like both of us won every week for the last few months of the season. Such an exciting time. As for this season I see a slow start while the squad is still in transition followed by some spells of great results which are punctuated by frustrating losses. Hard to predict an overall finishing place but we really should be getting playoffs at a minimum, however I'm sure a lot of relegated Prem teams say that and many are wrong! I'm really looking forward to a new style of play, visiting some different grounds for a change and a more overall competitive league. Good luck to Ipswich, there's a chap I know in Southampton who travels back there for a fair number of games which is a pretty good effort.

Scored, conceded or both?

Good luck to him. He'll get to play at a standard now where he will likely make a positive difference to the team. Unfortunately was one of those signings where he'd excelled at his previous level and done well against good teams in Europe which didn't work out.

In that case why are you so quick to slag other posters off for their opinions? You're one of the worst for the "people on here told us" type posts. So what if they are wrong eh?
