He knows cases are surging in Southampton so the joy a fit Danny Ings will bring will lift the spirts Of the whole city, not just healing the minority hit by the virus.

Falling short of actually winning something yet again 😕

Well done to everyone who said a prayer last night, god answered them 🙏🏽

To be fair being 4-0 down at home to us shows there is work to be done, if you're 4-0 at home to anyone you'd consider it a very bad performance regardless of the opposition. Although he probably hates us as we rejected him as a kid. I remember the old days when ex players would spend the whole game having "Southampton reject" chanted at the during the game, not giving them a standing ovation by the same fans who spend the entire game slagging off our own players.

Agreed, maybe his dip in form suggests he's angling for a move, let him rot in the reserves with Hojbjerg unless he signs a new deal.

Coronavirus, dont believe the hype TV advert with images of smiling faces, full football stadiums, pubs and bustling his streets with Public Enemy loud as the tune.

only one of our last six.

This is exactly the sort of game to stick money on Newcastle. As you say we’ve been here so many times when either we blow it or an injury or decision screws us.

Apparently the PGA and golf England have a meeting with the government tomorrow, hopefully they will see sense and allow clubs to stay open. My club has lost a fortune this year and there is such a small risk of playing golf it’s crazy. Apparently over 200k have signed the petition to keep them open. the CrossFit gym I go to couldn’t be safer either. Everyone has to temperate Check And sanitise when they go in, we have own stations all marked with all equipment in and maximum class of 10, despite capacity for 25. Afterwards everyone santisizes everything in their station. We’ve had zero infections.

Yes you are right 81/82. another season where we could have won something but just fell short 88/89 we started on fire and were brilliant. Then we went on that long winless run something like 19 games before finishing strongly. Also that was the season that arsenal scored an equaliser in the 8th minute of injury time, time added on due to Paul Davis breaking glen Cockrills jaw with a snide off the ball punch. Arsenal would go on to win the league on goal difference.

Why are you surprised? The best comment has to be how Ralph got it wrong today incredible post. 🤣

Apparently Sheffield Hallam Uni have done a study on the risk of catching Covid in gyms. There have been just 487 infections reported in 62 million gym visits across 14 European countries studied, an infection rate of just 0.78 per 100k. Given the push they had on healthy living and getting exercise as fitness and weight loss can help to combat the virus not to mention the positive impact exercise has on mental health it's crazy they are now shutting gyms, golf clubs etc. It seems like they are one of the safest places to be as well as doing what the government told us all to do only a few months ago.

We were top for a long time in 1980/81 season (may have been 81/82) then with about 12 games to go our form drop off massively and we ended up finishing about 6th.

Ings didn’t look good. Scan tomorrow.

Has he now overtaken Matty as our top free kick scorer?

Great post as always Krakers. Personally I think the 5 sub rule apply to the top 6 and the rest should stay at 3. That was I get to see 16 amazing players and take photos of them when they are near me during games, not just 14. It’s an honour to see these players and it will also help our fantasy team scores

I support the big clubs. Even though they’ve got the best players, best squads and most income they are the only clubs affected by injuries so we should change the rules to whatever helps them the most.

We have some interesting fans.

As I see it too. The only thing he is lacking is that bit of instinct in front of goal that top strikers have. he’s seems to either hit it as hard as he can or take one touch too many, a bit too long, whereas a really top striker knows when to place it, smash it, take a touch etc instinctively. However the rest of his game has really come on in the last 12 months, strong, quick, good touch, movement a great partner for Ings and looks a really good player now.

Looks like it didn’t take long to find a black man who feels superior due to skin colour https://wwos.nine.com.au/cricket/ben-stokes-marlon-samuels-spat-wife-slur-covid-19-isolation/6d139602-3cdf-4757-9924-5d72e17ca8f6?ocid=Social-WWOS

David James made these comments a few months ago and he’s right. Good to see, apart from his saves in 2010 I’ve always quite liked him, although can’t remember too many top managers having been goalkeepers. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/david-james-goalkeeper-manager-diversity-football-a9607296.html

Certainly if you look at the England squad from 10 years ago there were 9 black players in there. With these former players now management age I don’t look at the likes of Glen Johnson, Ashley Cole, Emile Heskey and Shaun Wright Phillips and think if they were white we’d be looking at the new Alf Ramsey

Why would they be put off? They know that their players at clubs they work for will have a high percentage of people of the same colour as them. Maybe they just don’t want to go into management? Maybe they’d rather do what David James, Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole have done and go into media rather than put themselves through what a manager has to go through. certainly being black didn’t stop Chris Houghton, Paul Ince or Darren Moore getting premier league jobs despite all being fairly average managers. I don’t buy that a top sportsman, super confident, super competitive who has been at the top of their profession suddenly becomes a wet lettuce terrified of being in a minority when it comes to becoming a coach or manager.

Sorry but this talk that black people don’t apply for jobs when the work force is mainly white is either utter b0llocks or the people you’re talking about need to have a word with themselves. The population of the UK is something like 86% white so if they’re frightened at the thought of having to work with more white people than black then they will never apply for a job anywhere. In addition to this as has already been pointed out a lot of the clamour for a more diverse work force is for top jobs, you’re not really going to command much respect leading a work force if you’re the type of person who’s so frightened that they might be minority group in a company they wouldn’t even apply to it unless they insisted a percentage of the work force were the same as yours. it sounds more like another excuse from the virtue signallers to me.
