No it's not madness. The heat is on Boris and his government so bring in a distraction tactic until it goes away, we've seen it all before.

Remember Protect the NHS, save lives.

Dont you like people who ask questions and express curiosity? Maybe we should all just stand by and applaud everything we are told to because we think it makes us look like nice people instead.

Whats your man on the inside saying hypo?

I'd like to understand what exactly it is LGBT people are in fear of. As i mentioned i've known a few who have never had any problems and there is a poster on here who is openly LGBT, i've never met her but she has never spoken about any issues, in fact if anything she is very abusive herself!! I'm really not quite sure how anyone would even know if someone was LGBT or not unless they were walking around making a point of the fact they were, which is another point entirely. As i mentioned before then if what is being expected is that they are to enter a football stadium with 30000 plus people and never hear anyone say anything they dont like then sorry, you're always going to be disappointed. As for your other point about this thread, not really sure anyone has been abusive or unwelcoming on here, you seem like a perfectly reasonable chap, but plenty of people seem to be interested in just what the actual issue is.

this reminds me of the good old days when MLG tried to claim that it was arguable Saints had more match going fans than Everton, despite us having never had a season with an average attendance higher than theirs. That was all around the newness of our stadium v theirs as well.

Would they go as far as to say this is an insane signing?

They are behind us in that we have a better training ground. As far as I’m aware how good your training ground is has never really been a factor in how big a club you are.

They are what Pompey think they are.

And Man City are a bigger club than us too, even before they were bought by the Arabs

Since when have the size of a club been defined by how good their training ground is or if the paint on the walls is nicer?

i'm going to hazard a guess you are under 30. When Leeds got promoted to the old first division i'd barely even heard of them as they hadn't been a top flight team for 10 years or so during the 80s. It was only then that i realised how big they are. Even more so since moving to the area. Their catchment area does go north. i'm north of it. Leeds are a bigger club than us in ever single sense. Leeds catchment area is much bigger than us as well, in every single sense.

Rugby is definitely more popular for sure, but football is still a clear number one by some distance. I'm not a member at Saints any more but could easily get a ticket for most games this season at St Marys. Leeds has been sold out every week and you need to buy a membership to even get in with a chance of a ticket and most games sell out well in advance.

Leeds metropolitan area is significantly bigger than Southamptons, (which also contains Portsmouth!) I live in the area and until you do you have no idea of the amount of support they have. The town i live in is 15 miles from Leeds and the majority of people who live here are Leeds fans. Interested to know why you dont think Leeds are a bigger club.

Both are far bigger clubs than us to be fair. Leeds is i think the third or fourth biggest city in the UK and only has one club. Unlike most other clubs of comparable size who have at least two.

Wouldn’t it be better to do it the other way round? Defend, contain in the first half then blitz them in the second half?

Is this the first Willy we’ve had?

Great shout.

I agree with you but he will also be our only fit keeper so we’d need to bring one in. Will be interesting to see if he plays or not or as I said above it’s a Caceres situation with the young player being preferred over a clearly better and more experienced short term signing.

But has won more than any other player in our squad, probably all of the put together.

Good to see the club moving quickly to being in an experienced glovesman anyway. Good keeper. Surprised he’s without a club

It could be a Caceres/Stephens situation where we believe Harry Lewis is the new Peter Schmicheal so keep an obviously much better more experienced player on the bench to prove it. Remember We don’t buy success we breed it.

No you’re not, he’s certainly no worse

But fortunately for everyone Monchengladbach are run by people like him

Both better than our current first two choices too
