They are not independent events. Do you think the 3 days after the match would be exactly the same if Saints had won? No, you would be in a different mood, you would have different conversations with people, do different things, be late or early to different events and that would ripple outwards. The same applies to all those connected with the draw, their lives would play out differently and the way they spin the balls in the draw would be different. The build up to the draw would be talking about Saints, not Chelsea, timings effected which then alters the draw itself.

That doesn't justify them charging £1.50 if you buy one ticket online vs £7.50 for buying 5 tickets online all in one transaction.

I agree Turkish! It isn't sports journalism at the Echo any more, they simply rehash stories from other media publications. Surely they don't teach this on journalism degree courses!

I know it is, but you said the Echo were the ones making the claim. But they are just rehashing an appalling website that makes up nonsense to get clicks. Plus there is a question mark in the thread title, but no question. 🤔

It is not according to the Echo. They have rehashed an article from Football Insider by Wayne Veysey, who is an appalling 'journalist' who makes up every story.

The draw wouldn't be guaranteed to play out the same. If Saints had won last night it would have lots of knock on effects. Butterfly effect

It is ridiculous. If they are going to charge a booking fee it should be a flat £1.50, not £1.50 for each ticket in the booking.

Will Smallbone

I know, but it is a struggle to think of a good reason why the club would not announce it. So makes me doubt it is completely finalised and signed yet. I won't be adding it to FM22 until the club announce it.

If he really did sign a new contract when it was claimed, what possible reason is there for the club not to announce it like they do for every other first team player?

No need for an apology. I merely pointed out what the article says, not my fault the club were sneaky and edited it. 😉😇 I think you'll find lots of people on here are happy to argue with me over pointless stuff! 😁

The lack of a 'Will' at the start makes it a statement.

Is that a question or a statement? 🤔😇

🙄 You are a...

Can you define your use of 'Noddy'? Emotions are involuntary.

Read the article.

The magician?

The article from the club says they are to be installed in the November international break. So why have some of you made up stories of reasons why it didn't happen in October, when it was never due to happen in October? 🤔

Salisu has not been capped by Ghana, so may not feature for them regardless of it going ahead or not.

1) Salisu has not had a single cap for Ghana, so why do you think he'll be going to the African Cup of Nations? 2) Stephens was reported to be out for "upto 12 weeks" from an injury 18th September. Which would be returning anytime up to 11th December. https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2021-09-21/ralph-hasenhuttl-on-jack-stephens-injury-southampton-football-club-21-september-2021

Do you have any proof of that? 😉

Jan Poortvliet was not a Rupert Lowe decision, he was appointed by Michael Wilde who was chairman in May 2008. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/7427097.stm

Why are you embarrassed by the actions or in this case emotions of other people? You aren't responsible for them, so there is no need to be embarrassed.

Why does it matter if he cried after a win?
