Polaroid Saint

Once Hojbjerg has completed his move to Atletico, I fully expect Spurs to use the funds to bid for JWP. It's the only club I could see him really "wanting" to go to (without European football).

I voted for Smallbone, but KWP probably right too Guess I am just more used to seeing KWP as the player of the match for Saints (and he is probably the best player at the club, all things considered). But today, really like what Smallbone brings to the team. And weirdly, looking forward to seeing him having to deal with a better side and putting more tackles in.

I am like the kit. (Which looks great on TV. IMO) Half red, fired up and thinking we are going to do it. And half off-pink, unsure and worried Weds will knock us about the park.

It's an arms race. On the one hand, the 3pm blackout is increasingly seen as archaic and unnecessary. (Plus the acknowledgement that those that watch football on telly at home are (mostly) not doing that instead of buying tickets to the match.) It won't be too long before a proper service is available to all fans. Then there's Sky etc using increasingly sophisticated tools and legal means to block streamers both at source and through ISPs. (Often negating VPNs etc). Eg: https://www.ft.com/content/ed022ce0-521a-465f-86b8-b7ea2c403407 I would caution against spending any more on illegal alternatives (eg IPTV) just yet. Although it won't be sorted for a season or two, of course.... So maybe £60 for an IPTV box/an afternoon faffing about with KODI is worth the risk/time.

Erm. It's on the club crest... ..."For The Badge"

Came here to say this. Cracking tune by a much underated band.

Martin rhyme, rhyme, rhyme Martin time, time, time You got a Martin rhyme for Russell Martin time Russell Martin has a notebook in his little hand He is still stranger in this land Martin rhyme, it's Russell Martin time Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. Obvs.

Understand we are just waiting for Rudi Skácel to complete (perhaps even start?) his coaching badges. Be announced shortly.

Which available/affordable manager has the best record in Cup competitions? Can we get Wenger in for 4/5 games and Selles takes the team in the league? Surely that's the only sensible suggestion?! 😜

Clearly nonsense... ...I mean, honestly, "Trophy Cabinet"? 🤪😜

Bazunu KWP ABK Salisu Perruad Alcaraz Lavia JWP Sulemana Onuachu Adams (That's NJ's infamous* 442/Midfield Diamond + utilising Che for what he is supposedly best at, supporting a No.9). Happy to see NJ try it for a couple of games at least. *Have we actually seen it yet?

*Who is. I know. A shitty grammatical thing to pull anyone up on. Sorry. I rarely post and very rarely bother with this sort of pedantry. But, hey, it's Duckhunter, so fuck it, right? 🤪😜

Newcastle should have scored three almost identical goals. Possibly four. We got a stumbled and fumbled 'goal' disallowed. It's not good enough. Apart from that, we are really only a striker short of a "half-decent" side. But it is many a decent team that gets relegated.

Well this could go one of three ways now... ...we collapse back into the team we have seen for the last five games and lose. Season over unless we do something 'drastic'. ...we somehow build confidence, remember how to "do football" play like a team in the second half and the entire season turns on a flukey goal. ...Draw. Sack Jones. Replay at home with an actual manager and an actual team. Or, you know, a completely different outcome too. Love the travelling fans today, as always, supporting the team in full voice and letting the manager know exactly what we all think at the right time too.

I have just had the hottest faux chicken wrap in the entire world ever. Too hot to be honest, and although the crispy fresh lettuce and tomato and mayo was cooling, I now can't feel my face. Which only adds to the numb feeling of watching Saints.

I admire your valiant effort to counter every single negative comment about Jones and this team, however you appear to have missed how a coordinating conjunction works. The word 'but' in that sentence combines the two, previously contradictory, statements into a new one with different emphasis. (I have nothing to say about the football).

EDIT: now broke

Surely this is the song needed? "All he needs is just a little time"...

Everyone is knackered. Not just Saints, but look at the games across the cup matches. I'm knackered by this season already, and I don't have to run around twice a week like the players. Mind you, it's telling that four midfielders get to take pens before the striker.

£25+5m is a lot of money for a backup striker.

Are they all at it. This one's alright to be fair. Nice logo But £46 ??? https://footballtown.com/collections/red/products/the-saints

This...

You can buy that fan made kit... ?!?!? https://www.terracegear.com/products/southampton-2020-2021-home-concept-football-kit-viper?_pos=1&_sid=c2a3f9127&_ss=r

It's probably worth noting, as an aside, that elite athletes are more susceptible to serious complications (due to reduced immunosuppression & pro-inflammatory response etc) IF they develop COVID-19 than fit, active and healthy people of the same age. Whilst they probably have the strength and youth to survive, long term complications are a genuine concern for any top level athlete.

Fair point about awareness of D&L rule before embarking on a game. Agreed. But perhaps better than a toss of a coin, which is the traditonal football method! Actually, maybe that's what we should have - one big toss off. Just a three hour special of Lineker/Chappers/Stelling introducing our favourite ex-pros from each club gurning eachother as Mike Riley tosses a coin. What fun. OR we just finish the season on FIFA. Why the **** not? Apperently Redders and Bertie are ace on the D-pad, so...
