  1. Absolutely buzzing at the latest news alert on my phone, let me at this footage. It’s all going off today!
  2. I'd be amazed if he wasn't. No player leaving a bigger club coming here for first team football is going to be happy being second choice to a 19 year old in their first season, especially after being one of our better players last season. Unless of course he's happy switching between left back and right back. Seems like he'll get a good run at right back now if Liveramento out anyway so he'll be here until the summer at least.
  3. When i was about 7 or 8 i was with my dad in Mike Chippy at the Castle in Midanbury on saturday evening. My dad said to me that Danny Wallace was behind me in the queue, i didn't believe him until the lady serving us said it was. He then signed his autograph on a piece of chip wrapper that i still have 30+ years on in a photo album with other autographs i got from back in the day. He lived near us in a 3 bed semi on Wakefield Road. I believe he was the first footballer i ever met
  4. Newcastle have just signed Trippier, so he wont be going there. I guess the question needs to be if he can be first choice at all of these clubs why isn't he first choice at Saints? I rate him highly as well but it's typical Saints that two of our best players play in the same position.
  5. You do realise there is a global component shortage? Lots of orders are on extended lead times at the moment
  6. All those saying it's best for Boris to say so labour get in are clearly only interested in their own agenda. Boris is a terrible prime minster, a bullshitter and now a laughing stock with hardly any support. I'm really not sure how anyone can think it's in the best interests of the country if he stays in place. What they mean is it's in their best interests to get their preferred people in.
  7. Another point would be everything you see and read about those involved in the club then says they were decent, honourable people. I really struggle to believe that if they genuinely thought there was a rampant peadophile in the club they would turn a blind eye to it. Whilst it was a different era the fact remains that this is a vile crime and no one in their right mind would let it go on. Which is why i full believe that the extent of the clubs knowledge of this was along the lines of unfounded rumours and gossip which were the case in every single school in the country at the time, teachers were peados, gays (yes i know that will upset some of you) drunkards etc apparently every school had loads of them! When we used to go to Southampton schoolboys football weekends i remember at least two of the coaches were meant to be gay peadophiles or so the U15 rumour mill told us! Its easy to look back now and say they didn't do enough, need to take responsibility etc, but if you were around at that time it's perhaps easier to understand why they didn't.
  8. Thats was nearly 20 years before the Higgins stuff and he would have just stepped down as manager, i cant even remember what his role as in the 90s, he wasn't chairman that was Woodford and then Askham, he may have been a director i cant remember but certainly not the first person you think of who should have the finger pointed at for not doing anything,
  9. When you say knew though what exactly did they know? I'm around the same age as these lads, i was around the youth football system at that time and actually only lived a few minutes from Higgins house, he used to come to our school a bit. i remember the graffiti on his house when the allegations first arouse in the early 90s. But also i remember it was all a bit of a joke amongst us, i remember it well, things said like "dont go to Higgins football schools he'll touch you up", "wonder if Higgins will be here today dont go near the showers" when we had a match. No one really believed any of it but it didn't stop us talking about it. Around that time every school had a PE teacher that was meant to be a peado, other teachers used to supposedly go out and get pissed every lunch time, others fancied the pupils. If the headteacher heard all the stuff that was said all the teachers would be suspended and under investigation constantly.the world was a very different place back then. Whilst it's easy to say 30 years on everyone at the club at the time should take responsibility, did they actually know what was going on, or did they just hear rumours like pretty much every headteacher at every comprehensive school in the country would have? I'm not for one minute making light of what these lads went through but could it be the case that what those at the club did know was more along these sort of lines?
  10. Especially considering he did all that shortly after nearly dying not long ago
  11. Why? It’s a minimum of 5 minutes. That it what people forget.
  12. All hail Boris. all hail Brexit
  13. Is your vaccine working for you?
  14. He may not be the best prime minister we’ve ever had but you just be grateful you’re still here to know that
  15. Agree KWP Is a very good player. Would be a real shame to lose him. Hopefully Livramento will develop into a top player but it’s perfectly normal for young players to come in with a bang and their form to drop off, seen it many times before. In truth he should have been left out weeks before he got the injury. Hopefully we can keep them both and with Perarrd seeming to be improving and Small waiting in the wings what was our weakest position now seems to be our strongest
  16. They thought they were going to get Mbappe, they got Chris Wood 😃
  17. Wow, surely that is the perfect centre back. You have to wonder why he isn’t playing for Real Madrid already if this is true
  18. Remember how upset they were when the government report into racism found the UK wasn't institutionally racist.
  19. Set up a go fund me page and away you go.
  20. Just did a 31 minute walk, sponsor me?
  21. Then there is the other end of the scale. I'm climbing Kilimanjaro to raise money for charity. No you're not, you're doing it because you want to climb Kilimanjaro because it's a pretty cool thing to do for a holiday.
  22. i seem to be getting an ever increasing amount of email adverts to my hotmail around viagra, erectile disfunction and one from a email address "huge manhood" which tells me long kept German secrets of penis elongation. Make of that what you will.
  23. If people think it’s an achievement not to drink for a month then they have a drinking issue. I get sick of the constant sponsorship requests on social media. Although I saw one this week which was new depths of nauseating. A women in her early thirties, perfectly healthy asking people to sponsor her February fitness month challenge. “20 minutes of fitness a day every day for the whole of February this included walking, swimming, yoga or cycling” Jesus wept, wanting people to give money to go for a 20 minute walk every day.
