Fair enough. X

That isn't what this thread said at all. My point is outlined in the first post and largely it was quite accurate as we had some decent form but sadly we've now dropped off again. I don't think anybody on this forum would ever accuse me of being blindly positive!

Unfortunately now we have to beat Palace to stay in line with what I thought were quite realistic predictions. Lose to Palace abd we're really starting to get into trouble.

I really don't understand why anyone is so outraged that you might have to have a jab a couple of times a year for the foreseeable future. With my booster jab it took ten minutes out of my day and I never thought about it again. Why is having a jab to protect you such a big deal?

I used to blame the players but Imo we have some better players now and we still can't play this system consistently well. I'm starting to think a change wouldn't be the worst thing.

It's fine if people want to quote a specific post they might disagree with or take issue with and discuss it but it's simpler and easier for some to just throw out general smears without providing any details just because they don't like that someone might express some reservations about some initiatives.

Where have either of us said anything like that? Disagreeing with initiatives that seek to divide Southampton fans along identity lines like sexuality and race is not prejudiced in the slightest.

I agree. I just think we are quite attractive to the right person who can be sold on the academy stuff and how we go about our business. Not mega money though obviously.

It's quite big but manageable over time if we stay in the prem. Could certainly be worse.

I trust that the bloke who told me knows some of the things going on at the club. It doesn't take mystic Meg to tell us that we are looking to be sold sooner rather than later though. You'd imagine that the most likely time for an announcement would be nearer to the summer once our position in the league is confirmed. Now that most Premier league clubs bigger or conporable in size to us have been sold, there aren't many others in a decent location that someone could buy if they want to break into the prem. I can see why we'd be an attractive proposition.

Totally forgot I posted this. Doesn't look that likely at the moment does it!

True but if we beat Palace then we're still on track for my prediction for these games. Big if obviously. If only we'd beaten Norwich we would be in a great position.

And that's me logging off here for the evening. Pathetic from saints again and exactly as predicted at half time.

Will this be a copy of Wednesday where we are decent in the first half and then let them change things and lose the lead second half?

Although TBF you could apply that to the other side of the political divide in other areas.

Exactly. You don't need a special identity group for the football to be a welcoming and friendly place the majority of the time (and for individuals to be dealt with when it isn't if appropriate.)

Not sure about that. I want an awful lot of abuse at John Westwood when he is in the ground. Some abuse is part of football and rather amusing. Personally I think you deal with any sort of real racist abuse or similar by either reporting the individuals concerned or having a word if you feel able to. I don't think having a "safe space" is going to assist with that and as I said, in my opinion it's more inclusive and progressive to focus on what we all have in common rather than all our various differences.

What's backwards about uniting all supporters of all different stripes because we all support the same team? Nothing backwards about that in the slightest. It would be difficult to be more inclusive to be honest.

People of the lgbtq community who want to do this sort of thing, "allies" and everyone else. Fair enough if it's just a supporters group to find someone to meet up and go to games with but its clearly not just that.

My guess is because without treatment the covid patient will die now whereas with the cancer patient it is probably a slower process.

Players who like money. If I were Newcastle I'd just buy all the best championship players in January and prepare for immediate promotion.

There's always a team like Norwich that gets a few results but they were so far behind that it becomes hard to keep that going. They're still in the relegation zone even after their pretty great run of results and with an awful goal difference it will take something special for them to avoid the drop. With Leeds winning we really need at least a draw tomorrow to keep ourselves above a few other teams.

A draw is a good result for saints all things considered. Would be good for Norwich to start losing again then we'd only have to avoid the last relegation spot.

Well my sister still hasn't had any vaccinations and it pisses me off quite frankly. Her husband is a lovely bloke but he's not the brightest and has filled her head with idiocy. It's depressing but there is a part of me that would like her to get it and be just ill enough that she takes it seriously.

I think you can figure that out.
