The Kraken

I'd get the fire engines out and give them a fucking good soaking.

I heard (not sure if true) that there's another one planned from the Mitre in Portswood heading towards town. Highfield Hotel supposedly boarded up.

Edozie looks like he wants to take it off already.

He wasn't always this much of a cunt, was he? I mean, he was always (somehow) a bit of a pompous bellend and obviously not the brightest star in the sky. Seems to have gone full off the reservation lately. If Orange Don doesn't get elected there will proper tantrums all over Bursledon. Twat.

I watched ten minutes of it yesterday, load of rubbish. Just a bunch of teenagers being all stoked and awesome and super happy to be there. Surfing as well, they're holding it 10,000 miles away in Tahiti ffs. Its a bit like London 2012 having sheepdog trials based in the Falklands.

IMO there's too many Olympic sports that shouldn't be there, or at least not in their current formats. For a sport to get in the Olympics, winning it should be seen as the pinnacle of that sport. Tennis: 4 Majors held every year, all dating way back. The Olympics is quite big but not as much as those. Davis Cup also provides a team aspect for playing for your country. Golf: See above re the 4 Majors. The positive of the Olympics is that it lets the players play for their countries rather than themselves, which there is limited opportunity for in pro golf. But if golf is going to be in there I think it should be more of a team format, maybe two-player teams where they do separate rounds of two-man scramble; two-man better ball; two-man foursomes; two-man best overall gross score. Other sports like football, all a bit rubbish having that. The under-23 things (except three others who can be overaged) is just a bit of a nonsense. Horse dancing can just get in the bin as well.

Decent in the Championship for us but the harsh reality I feel is that he’s not good enough for us in the Premier League, certainly as a starting player. He actually only started 13 league games for us last term, 26 on as sub. We’ve already got Edozie, Sulemana and Sam Amo, plus Armstrong was better off the right than up front and Chilean Ben plays up front / off the left. In short, he did a good job for us last season but we need better if we’re to stay up.

A crap shirt with a horrendous stick-on logo just got even shitter with an even worse additional stick-on logo. Well done, design team. Effing useless the lot of you.

When you write it like that it makes it even more of a mockery that we paid £10M+ for him. Simply not a fee that club like us can afford to spend on somebody who is so far away from a first team start.

I regret nothing 😤 You couldn’t even get her name right ffs 🤣

Laura’s a national gem but fuck me, her voice doesn’t half grate.

Just been reading about the press conference, it sounds like it went well and cleared everything up! 😆 "I attended this IBA news conference. It was so bad that the moderator apologized to a few of us reporters out on the sidewalk after and said it was the most embarrassing thing he’s ever been part of." "I've never been to such a farcical press conference. It's been a shambles. Any credibility concerning these failed gender tests is very quickly evaporating." "Kremlev is being asked if he regrets or will apologise for calling Thomas Bach the “chief sodomite”. He goes off into a bizarre rant about Biblical scripture, which is now translated on the live stream. He replies: “When I said sodomite, I meant Thomas Bach and those who made this declaration. They have been making fun of Christiantity and the Bible. In scripture, Sodom and Gomorrah existed and God destroyed these cities because they had no human value in them. As president of an international federation and a firm believer in god, and a person defending human values and democracy I couldn’t keep silent. And this opening was arranged and designed by Thomas Bach and his friends. He did it in order to improve his PR status. As a Christian, believing in god, I disagree with this presentation of the scripture. And I would never like to see that happening again in the sport.”

Champions: Man City (zzzzzzzzz) CL: Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Saints: 19th Relegated: Forest, Saints, Ipswich

So basically we’ve got a bit worse at right back, a bit better at left back, and everything else is exactly the same. Not inspiring.

I don’t think it’s that difficult, the IOC seem to have dropped the ball in terms of setting the entry requirements. Banned by the IBA for the world championships but the IOC went for much watered down rules for entry to ensure consistency of qualification between Olympic cycles.

I fought you was dead.

Mask? What mask? Paying the fiver has definitely put that one to bed. Vile.

A likely tale. We all know you subscribe to their newsletter.

Afternoon bing-bong just went off, currently enjoying coffee break with my feet up 😎

Loving your work H&W. Crikey. What a sanctimonious walloper he is.

Who knew when Lighthouse separated this idiocy that it would turn into a lolathon. Excellent fun. No surprise that forum chief misery guts Captain Curmudgeon bases his ideal self on a 1980s version of Mr Bumble feeding the girls and boys of the admin team gruel on their coffee break. Only one break a morning though, get back to it.

Coffee break 🤣🤣 Cor, can’t wait for the 10am buzzer to go off then it’s feet up, coffee and Saintsweb.

Social media is bad, mkay. Good god. Mountains and molehills everywhere. Having a conversation with the wife about it ffs 🤣 so pathetic. Fair play, he may be retired but you can’t knock the work ethic, he’s been at it all day.

Can’t disagree with that tbf.
