He lives near me and often see him in the gym or walking to dog, nice fella. His son is about 8 and seen him wearing a Saints kit and goalkeepers top and fair bit. He rarely does a full rep when doing pull ups or dips. He's spends a lot of time doing HIIT sprints on the treadmill and often has #bantz with the personal trainers. When we signed him he was considered to be a great prospect but never really got anywhere near the potential.

He certainly looked quick and direct when he dribbled round 4 West Brom players from the half way line to score last season. Maybe he wasn’t quick and direct but that’s wasn’t how sideways, possession at all cost, Pellegrino wanted him to play. There is definitely a player in there, but he also appears a bit of a bellend too, so let’s see if Hasenhuttl can and wants to work with him. If the can then he could save us a fortune.

They aren’t identitying as Jews though, they don’t stand there citing the Torah during matches or refer to their top boy as a Their rabbi. They have adopted the Yid word for their supporters, it has nothing to do with religion. Should saints no longer be refereed to as Saints because saints has catholic connotations and if anyone said “saints c***” it would be offensive to the Catholic Church? Should we stop singing “oh when the saints go marching in” in case it offends catholic’s and or clubs might start singing songs negative songs back to us about catholic’s, or if it offends other religions who may have fans present st the game. You can’t have one rule for Tottenham and another for us.

I don't really understand why people referring to themselves as Jews or Yids is an insult anyway. They tend to make very successful businessmen, are usually pretty smartly dressed, they bring their kid up well to be responsible for their own actions from the age of 13, non of this it's societies fault nonsense, they have fantastic memories, teaching their kids to read long passages from the Torah. There is much in the Jewish culture to admire, even the son of god is one of them. I certainly don't think it would be considered offensive to call someone a Jew that wasn't one, it's a compliment if anything.

So bullshat then. It never rang true. Why would a Sunday times reporter want to remain anonymous? Why did no one get arrested despite it being reported? Why did no one else see or hear it? It reminded me of an article the sun did a few years back to expose racism at millwall. They sent a black reporter to the Den who ran an article claiming no one would sit near him, he heard millwall fans abuse Barry Hayles as he lay on the floor injured shouting “you f*cking animal” and of course he heard monkey noises but he also claims he heard a large group of fans chanting “seig heil” throughout the game. It turned out they were playing brighton and it was Brighton fans singing “seagulls” the abuse was actually towards a Brighton player who had injured Barry Hayles in bad tackle and surprise surprise no reports anywhere else of monkey noises. Even his claims no one sat near him were lies as there were photos released later of him sat next to other fans. They were forced to run an article admitting they’d got it wrong a fee eeeks later when it became obvious it was all bullsh1t

He used to make the staff at the club call him sir or Mr Cortese. He wouldn’t let anyone walk in the corridor st the same time as him, the Cuban heeled, egotistical, dwarf knobhead.

I genuinely do think that at some point in the future there will be a big exposure of corruption in English football. Week after week we see it where the big clubs get decision over the smaller clubs. Not just saints but all clubs consistently get decisions go against them when playing the so called big six. Ever since the comment made by the chairman of the premier league that the primer league needs Man united to qualify for the champions league I’ve thought things weren’t right. Perhaps refs are taking back handers but I definitely think they are under pressure to make sure the bigger clubs do as well as possible.

I’m not really sure why there is a moral dilemma when we are owned by a bloke who failed the fit and proper person test, they then had to close a loophole so people like him couldn’t buy a club again. Still, don’t really have an issue with a gambling firms sponsoring us providing they are paying enough, some people will argue that people get addicted to gambling but if you’re going to do it name on the front of your teams shirt or not isn’t going to make much difference. In any case where do you draw the line? Should clubs stop selling beer in case there are any potential alcoholics there? Should they stop seeking burgers and pies because a high percentage of our fans are obese? (Yes they probably should to be fair to stop people stuffing their faces but they won’t) drunkenness and obesity ruin lives too but I don’t see any moral dilemma about selling alcohol and crap food.

What version is that on pal? I’ve only got up to 2016 on iPad and there is no option to send players to train on their own for rehabiltion on that version. Is it a new feature?

Perfect fit for our business model. Whilst we should be proud Paul Mitchell has gone onto champions leagues clubs and been linked with man united dorector of football job he Was a downgrade on his predecessor, is probably cheap and also some on what’s got to wear Kruger’s old suits. Replicating what we’ve done on the pitch off it. I’m still wondering what’s happening to Les Reeds replacement. Kruger said they’d spilt the role out as one person couldn’t replace les but 5 months on not a whisper.

seeing as how our accounts say nothing has changed, still self sustainable and there will be no injection of funds is it fair to say that Kathrinas statement on selling that Gao would take us to the next level was at best misleading then?

Totally agree, it’s a tricky. The matey, friendly copper thing doesn’t work. On estates they hate the police, they don’t trust them and talk of gaining their trust is naive, in some places even outside of major cities police won’t even go there. The problem is youth culture has thrived on kids being the bad man, not being disrespected. The truth is it’s never been that different, there have always been groups of bad boys, the difference is now whereas before you’d get a black eye or a bust nose, now you’ll get a blade in your stomach. The only answer is zero tolerance. Anyone suspected of carrying a knife can be searched, if caught arrested, they inforce section 60s by the dozen at football on a weekend with no outcry about human rights. But then does that work? Most people in prison are proud of their crimes, forget all this nonsense about no one in prison is guilty, everyone is and not only are they guilt of what they’ve done but plenty more they never got caught for and how lucky they were for getting away with the sentence they got! However that requires a lot more rescource and a lot more prison spaces which we don’t have. It 100% friendly coppers earning trust, education by minor celebs or former criminals telling everyone how bad it is wont work.

I’m bursting with pride on this great night for saints seeing 5 of our former players in the champions league. Really great to see it and testament to the strong roster we have and continue to have.

My best mates son, who is 15 and a lovely lad, genuinely, not one of those kids who is a little sh|t but everyone says he’s a nice kid was in a situation recently. He’s from a good family, never been in trouble at all but He had somehow upset one of the school gangster type kids, who had apparently been wanting to Settle their differences telling everyone he was going to get it. Now in my day this would have been a fight outside the school gates which would have been broken up by teachers and the end of it. These days it isn’t like that, he is a big strong lad, can look after himself but he knew that this kid was a nasty little f8cker who has been known to carry a knife. so for his own protection, unbeknown to his parent, he took one to school too. Fortunately for everyone the “beef” never came to anything but it could have been very different, he gets attacked, gets stabbed or pulls out his own knife and stabs the other kid, another serious injury or god forbid death, he gets stabbed or a life sentence all due to one kid wanting to be a bad man or the other wanting to protect himself. I’m not condoning him carrying a knife to school but you can see why he did it, but that is how easy it is for kids to get into trouble. It’s all very easy for people to sit in their ivory towers saying how terrible it is but unless you’re there you’ve got no idea. Naturally his parents where devastated that he’d done that and what might have been but even more devastated that he felt he had too. To their knowledge he’s not done it since and swears blind he wouldn’t again. I don’t know what the answer is but no amount of police on the streets is going to stop that sort of behaviour and the way the whole gang culture and the gloryifying of it on social media is becoming in inner cities it’s only going to get worse.

Well done Everton, a win would have been better but that’ll do. I Definitely heard the Everton fans singing “always rhe victims it’s never your fault” in the second half. How can this be? It’s a great city full of wonderful people with great commaradery between the two sets of fans who are all families and friends.

I reckon it was one of these One Pierre Hojberg, there’s only one Pierre Hojberg Clap clap clap clap clap He plays in midfield he plays very well Peirre Hojberg thinks Pompey smell Clap clap clap clap clap Oh Pierre hojberg, Pierre hojberg He comes from Copenhagen He likes streaky bacon Pierre hojberg Clap clap clap clap clap clap To the tune of baby shark “Pierre hoj hoj hoj, hojberg” Clap clap clap clap Or it might have been our fans shouting “Pierrrrrrrrrre” Every time he touched the ball and p*ssing themselves and clapping themselves at their own wit

True but even before Bournemouth came up the coach loads of fans we were assured would be coming from Cirencester, Newbridge, Truro and burgess Hill for their fix of premier league football never seemed to materialise. I guess we were just unlucky in that our promotion coincided with an upturn in fortunes for Brighton, Swansea, Reading Bournemouth, Wolves and Cardiff as well which mean this massive catchment area we could tap into which went from Liverpool down to Birmingham, across to anything south of London and Essex was slightly diluted. Shame as they would literally Be right now having their noses pressed up against the windows of st Mary’s tickets office anxiously camping out hoping to get their mits the waiting list for the small release of general sale tickets for our massive home game against wolves in a months time.

Funny how the stadium expansion threads have stopped. Despite the fact that in our league days we were absolutely assured that as soon as we got ourselves back to the premier league we would easily sell out every week so we should expand, expand, expand because even if we didn’t sell out we could just give more tickets to away fans anyone who said it wasn’t nessasary was shouted down as having a “dell sized mentality” and all the posts about how other clubs were expanding and we’d be left behind. It’s almost like they lived in a word dominated by spreadsheets and computer games not reality.

What was the name of that really fat bloke we had first season at St Mary’s who they got running on the pitch a few times for some sort of “entertainment”? I remember seeing him on the Jeremy Kyle show a few years later crying because he was so fat and his mum saying she didn’t help because she always let him eat what he wanted. Then there was the time we had that old bloke from Eastenders come on the pitch, WTF was the point of that?

Fail to beat Fulham and we will be in the sh*t and probably be done. To get two or three points from Games against Fulham, Cardiff, Palace and Burnley is a joke. As I’ve said before and others have said what realistically is going to change even if we do manage to scrape survival? More of the same next year probably. No investment in the team, having to sell to buy players whilst the club make a healthy profit. Our better players sold off, we’re already being teed up for that in the summer with Kruger’s comments about Hojberg. Relegation is inevitable sooner or later under this lot. The January transfer window was a disgrace, what other club in a relegation battle would flog anything they could and not bring anyone in. It went almost as some predicted, a few links, a few bungled attempts to sign players, with post window articles about how we tried but it’s hard, other clubs didn’t want to sell. Funny how we don’t have any trouble selling players in January! I actually don’t care if we go down or not, we might have a few years of struggle but a clean sweep from top to bottom is what’s needed just like in 2009. The club is being run disgracefully and it’s an insult to the paying fans who pay sky high prices to be served up dross and bullsh*t week after week. They think we’re all stupid with their bulls.it PR, hashtags and flying trannie flags to be “inclusive”. From Gao down the club is a shambles and we deserve to go down. It’s just a shame that the ones that will pay for it are the back office staff at the club, there will be a series of redundancies as there was in 2005 and the three years after, whilst the likes of Jack Friggin Stephens pick up £48k a week, like cutting a £30k member of back office staff will somehow make a dent into what’s being paid out. And yet still come some defend the club, the investment, the running of it. They are The band that carried on playing whilst the titanic sank.

That’s about the size of it mate. £46m of profit fron transfers in the last 5 years, the only club currently on the premier league to be in profit. Some of the lowest agent fees in that period and still some fans defend Shanghai Leisure Holdings. I remember in Lowes era then northam end chanting “spend some f*cking money” after another profitable sell. Time our fans showed that same backbone now. It’s when not if under Gao and we won’t be coming back any time soon either. Rumour has it the dwarf ***** didn’t even know you could be relegated from the premier league when he bought us, sums him up if true.

What’s even more crazy is he came into the team when Van Dijk got injured and had pretty much stayed there. He is Van Dijks replacement however the club want to spin it. One of the worst centre halves we’ve ever had replaces one of the best, you can’t make it up. Yet we should keep on believing the party line that we HAVE to sell players before we can buy new ones. Anyway, at least we saved paying agents fees out for Van Dijks replacement.

FFS another group to leap to be offended What’s wrong with what she’s said? It’s absolutely true. Funnily enough we’re yet to read too many cases where a woman decided she wants to be a bloke and wants to compete at top level in their chosen sport. There is a reason for that, they know they won’t be able too. I know it’s not their fault and I know we have to be kind to people with these mental illnesses these days and I’m sure they’ll find a cure for it eventually but until then They have to sort of get on with it. We have a paraolympics for physical disabilities so many he should have one for mentally ill too, we can include trannies in that and the upside is the ones that wish they were men will smash it out the park, you’re virtually guaranteed a medal, if they’re doubling with depression or anxiety it’ll kill two birds with one stone.

Massive pressure on the Fulham game. Realistically we will be lucky to get more than one or two points from our other 3 games ahead, most likely none, whilst Cardiff have two winnable home fixtures and go into them on good form. Newcastle will beat Huddersfield then a massive game v Burnley, winners could make themselves as good as safe. Even if we beat fulham we’ll probably still be in the bottom 3 this time next week. The three cock ups at Burnley and home to palace and Cardiff could have done for us. We should be five points better off but for such pathetic late defending, whilst Ralph is a very good manager he doesn’t have the tools needed.

True. Hassenhuttla style needs someone with a 15+ pace, aggression and stamina rating. Billy would be below this. Whilst his shooting stat would be around 13 not really high enough to make up for who he lacks in other areas. His adaptability score will also be quite low as he really can only play as a central striker so even though I signed him for Eastleigh when we went from the conference south to champions league winners in 9 seasons I had to let him go (to Newcastle for £29m) once we got to the premier league for the reasons stated above.
