The Kraken

I’m not sure that’s true and I think the problem runs far deeper than blue or red. Conservatives controlled the council as recently as 2021 and before that had consistently held a decent representation of councillors up until they got massacred last year. It’s just a litany of terrible ideas coming out of council that is to blame. The latest one, the Portswood Broadway fucking abomination is just the latest scheme that hardly anyone wants, residents and shopkeepers vehemently oppose, but the council just plough on regardless because it shaves 2 minutes off the bus times from Southampton to Eastleigh (I wish I was joking, it’s genuinely a big reason they’re doing it).

HAVE ANOTHER BEER.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

It’s interesting that you point out how many changes Saints made, but neglect to point out that Liverpool started out with only one player who would be in their first choice line up. Why is that?

Just a general class difference, their kids are better than our first team. Sulemana needs a massive kick up the arse, just thick as shit, never knows the right thing to do. Our knock it around at the back style will just get massacred against a decent team, never mind a team of teenagers. Edozie, see Sulemana above. Mara, you too. Meh. I expected to get done by a few by their reserve team. Nice enough display but the usual Russball failings. End story, we got undone by a side who had more than a few of their players made up from the under 21s. Oh, and Small boner is genuinely fucking dreadful. Get rid, an absolute nothing of a player.

It’s not just so much that you lie so very very much; it’s also that you’re so terribly bad at it. Utterly full of shit.

Flawless analogy 👍

Disappointed. When I saw the thread title I assumed it was an Alpine Saint inspired parody thread. Turns out the OP was being serious. ☹️

Looking forward to seeing the hard and swift action that Tetchy Sunak will make after 30p Lee’s atrocious comments. Yeah, I know, it’ll be nothing. Rishi is scared of the bigger boys.

All 3 arrested for death by dangerous driving (one for drink and drugs, one for drink) so they’re either not admitting who was actually behind the wheel, or the police have charged the passengers anyway (just had a quick look online and in very rare cases passengers have been done before for death by dangerous driving especially if drink/drugs are involved). Absolute shocker, hope they get the book thrown at them.

I guess 7 is closed because the road up from the motorway junction towards Southampton is closed for major repairs. Don't know why 8 is closed. Official diversion is J9 then A27/A3024. Also hearing the motorway may not reopen until late this evening; which I'm especially looking forward to for my drive home which was utterly f*cking chaotic last night.

This is pretty shoddy so far.

Absolutely pathetic defending all the way from their keeper kicking it out.

He clearly was not worse than Pellegrino or Hughes.

He’ll have a job getting in to the England squad because he’s not playing in the Premier League. Not sure why Southgate is referenced, in fact Southgate has previously invited THB to full squad England training so he’s clearly had his eye on him.

When Flynn joined us I asked my West Ham supporting mate about him, think I said about it on here at the time. My mate really rated him and was very surprised they let him go.

How is Jack Clarke a “reject”? Hes played every single league game for Sunderland this season and scored 15 goals, an excellent rate of return from someone who doesn’t play as a central striker. He also tore saints a new one when they thrashed us up there. He looks to be genuine quality.

Most goals conceded after 25 games in PL history. Strange stat, but they’re on target for conceding 100 over the season.

That’s quite the pair of pants that Steve Horner is wearing.

Absolutely horrendous “tackle”.

Boro 1 up at Leicester 😀

Yep. After twenty minutes I was loving how good we were. A bit of a rocky patch either side of half time (that’s of course going to happen away against a top side) but overall a really decent performance. I was worried before the game that we’d be brittle after getting so exposed against Bristol City but the players all responded brilliantly.
