Arguably our best player so far

When you say you know exactly what is coming up ... You haven't been ... No, of course not.

3-2 Saints ... Based on nothing in particular. And yes, I have been out in the sun too much.

I have a couple of old seats from the Dell that are in need of some work after being in a greenhouse for years. There's a programme signed by Alan Shearer after his full debut hat-trick - I worked for Hythe Chemicals and there were occasional invitations to the hospitality suite by a supplier; when no-one else took them up I got to go, and I happened to be there for that game and queued up to get his autograph after the game. Thanks to the same supplier I got to take part in the annual penalty competition before one of the games. Scored 5 out of 6 one year and 0 out of three the next, so I've been jeered by Saints fans for being rubbish and have a photo in the loft to prove it.

There's at least two of us and I'd guess quite a few more. First time I've ever had an issue with a ticketing app.

Thanks. Off to get my eyes tested.

I'm not sure I want to know the answer to this, but ... What on earth is the blurry object in the photo on the left?

Apparently every seat now has a cup holder and a ledge for your binoculars.

It's either an incredibly shoddy piece of design or a subtle v sign on each shoulder ... Maybe one for victory and the other directed at the EFL.

Or just call them Middlesborough

I was trying to check the earlobes

Was going to ask the same. I have an order confirmation with a coach number, which I think is all I should need, but the official website said an email would be sent this week.

1 v 2, 3 v 4, 5 v 6, 7 v 8 gets my vote.

Azaz picked up from where Jander left off with gifting possession to Leicester. The decision making is poor and the execution embarrassingly bad. Ah, Jander back at it again.

It is early in the day (my excuse) ... but just googled Isaw Nketia. Closest match is the Ghanaian politician known as General Mosquito. Should create a buzz in the opposition box.

Cheeky bid for the Macclesfield team? TCDAJFU

But we could play two of Quarshie, Wood and Harwood-Bellis (apparently 1.96m, 1.88m and 1.88m respectively) and be okay height-wise? I'd guess most fans would rather have an extra midfielder in the team, providing additional cover for the defence and/or more creativity going forward. I'd rather have Bragg looking to play through balls than any of the CBs, for example.

Manning. Absolute sh ... Oh, wait, what???

It's a smoke screen ... the front runner is actually Martin Russell, 49.46% win ratio while managing Limerick (forget the 0% win ratio at Bray Wanderers and Athlone Town).

Somehow it's got even worse

Ramsdale's growing his hair longer this season it seems

The letters P and O front and centre of the shirts this season. No MPEY thankfully.

Since you asked ... Indulge in a sophisticated twist on a classic favourite with our Rollover Vegetarian Hot Dog — a culinary masterpiece that elevates plant-based dining to new heights. Nestled in a perfectly toasted, artisanal bun, this hot dog features a marinated, grilled plant-based sausage crafted from a blend of savoury vegetables and savoury spices, delivering a rich and smoky flavour akin to traditional white meats but entirely cruelty-free. Can be topped with a vibrant array of gourmet accoutrements — think house-made sauerkraut with a hint of apple cider, dollops of gently spiced aioli infused with smoked paprika, and a drizzle of tangy Dijon mustard — every bite offers a harmonious balance of textures and bold flavours. Garnished with fresh microgreens and a sprinkle of charred shallots, this dish transforms a humble street food into an elegant, plant-forward feast. Perfect for those seeking a gourmet, satisfying, and eco-friendly indulgence, the Rollover Vegetarian Hot Dog promises a delightful journey through flavour, craftsmanship, and culinary innovation. In reality, it's a cold, grey-brown, rubbery lump of something unpleasant in a stale bun ... in keeping with the entertainment served up on the pitch.

Forgot that in the late 80s I played cricket against a team containing then builder David Peach. Very quick bowler. Was glad to get subbed onto his team for reasons that escape me now.

Stuart Pearce stood in front of me watching the Buzzcocks last night in Guildhall Square. Previously Kevin Keegan and the Man City squad at Manchester Airport. Jason Dodd and Chris Nicholl at David Lloyd.
