Who decided what gets cancelled?

No, why would they? What a strange question

So rather than answer the point you chose to launch another attack on me. Auchwitz has plenty of visitors each year, should the place that is the location of the murder of thousands of people be effectively a tourist attraction? As this thread is about re-examing and learning from our history then dont you think this is worth discussion?

Why would you be embarassed? It's a valid point. Auchwitz is horrific, Should we cancel any negative history whatsoever? Where does it stop? Why are only statues to be toppled?

Just had a thought, as we are now living in a cancel culture where the BLM movements wants to tear down any negative historical history, destroy statues and basically ignore anything historical that ever happen writing history as well go, should we tear down Auchwitz too? Lets pretend that never happened as this is in line with the cancel culture that is being trumpeted.

I love how Ings is being dubbed as Agueros replacement. They're replacing probably the best striker they've ever had with one who has had one good season in five years spending half of 4 of them injured.

Probably recently glued themselves to trains at Extinct Rebellion protests.

I wonder how much the clubs did actually know. Surely no one would be aware that young boys were being raped and molested in the homes of people of authority and not do anything about it. The late 80s and early 90s were a very different time. As i mentioned before, Higgins lived near me and we used to see him a fair bit there were loads of rumours about him but it was a bit of a joke, you're queer if you go to Higgins soccer camps etc that sort of thing. At school i'm sure pretty much every school had a rumoured gay PE teacher who wanted to get the boys into the showers afterwards so he could look at them. Of course it wasn't true, but that didn't stop the stories going round the school and if other teachers didn't hear them then they walked round with plugs in their ears. I did my work experience at a company in Shirley in the early 90s. All the blokes and women there told me that one particular person was gay and liked young boys so dont get left alone with him, again it was a joke. I'm sure all the youngsters on here will think it was sick but that's how it was in those days. If you investigated every story of people in authority being rumoured to be child abusers based on stories from teenage boys then thousands would be. I wonder if the reality of the clubs awareness is more along those lines, dismissed, like many were, as silly stories that spread round the groups like the gay PE Teacher who looks at the boys willies in the shower. What happened to those lads is horrific and of course should not be allowed but i really struggle to believe that anyone would ignore it if they knew the truth of what was going on. If they did then they should be in front of the courts as well. In the case of Higgins as soon as it got out he left the club and later stood trial, i understand there are some high profile players who didn't come out to support the lads at Saints which is pretty shameful. I'm not for one second making light of this as it truly is horrific but being around the same age group as some of these lads, also a young wannabe footballer who came into contact with Higgins, lived near him, knew plenty of lads that went to his soccer schools, played in the Sotonia cup etc and remember what the climate was like in that time, whist it's easy to say the clubs should have done more, i struggle to believe anyway actually knew the reality of what was going on until much, much later.

Who else is buzzing for the womens champions league tonight and England v San Marino behind closed doors tomorrow?

When you got five quality players competing for the one starting slot alongside our international star striker Adams it’d be a total waste of money to bring someone in, no guarantees they’d be any better than what we got. I’d rather we just kept the money in the bank to help swell out bank balance. Also think we should invest some of it into the women’s team. It’d be great to see them in the WPL, especially now from next season we can see them on telly more.

Sorry, where?

Redmond has shown his class in that postion. Long will return from Bournemouth full of confidence, a fit Obafemi will be like a new signing, Tella will kick on and N’Duludulululuduludululululudu will be better for a year with the first team. We don’t really want to bring anyone in to block their pathway.

Just seen it. Sickening. Higgins used to come to my school a lot as we were only down the road, he came with Danny Wallace a few times, you can see how he could suck people in as he’d tell us all, kids of 10,11, 12 what we had to do to be pro footballers. A few of my school mates went to his soccer schools and he’d come to our school matches sometimes, of course you wants to impress. There were always rumors about him but it was always considered a bit of joke, Horrific in hindsight seeing now what the lads went through.

They aren’t saints supporters, they are premier league consumers

I choose when we talk, you dance to my tune. I’m your pied piper.

Glad we agree it was pointless post then. 👏👏👏👏

“can people only be fans if they do things like you?” So what was your point then?

Where did I say what what I do?

Have all you Navy lot had a jab yet Brett?

Or Maybe we wouldn't. You want to build a better club but build to what? If winning something isn't the end result of building a better club what is? It's incredible that people are just happy to exist in the premier league, because we get guarenteed premier league money, get to watch the other team, watch us more on telly. It's truly sad that people consider success as just existing.

Dozens of clubs have got new grounds without having to be in the Premier league so your point about the Dell is irrelevant. As for Le Tissier, i love him as much as anyone, I saw his entire career, used to pretend to be him in the playground but i'd swap all of those goals for seeing us lift the FA cup at Wembley.

The mutation scare mongering is insane. I'm sure people are seeing through it, it's funny how they've only been banging on about variants of concern in the last few months. It wasn't that long ago they were telling us the virus was weakening. As they said all through the first lockdown it mutates all the time and there are 1000s of variants of every virus.

We should get a little $ on the shirts to celebrate every time we've won it, it's what a lot of fans want to celebrate.

Part of the first saints team I remember, my dad loved him. Great character by all accounts and a great player from an era when football was about entertainment

We sold Mark Wright to Derby
