MOTD came up with a fascinating fact last night. Apparently over a year ago we lost 9 nil. Well I'm blowed. Who knew that? It was so fascinating that they had to mention it twice.

A very good read.

Go easy on Duckie. He is clearly grieving for Trump as his right wing fantasy world is beginning to fall apart. He is posting more and more nonsense. Let him grief in peace and engage him in debate once he has recovered.

Its all right. They dominated the match thread. If you read that and missout the bits when we score you'd think that each of our players is a jerk and that we lost the match. Armstrong would never have scored as he is useless and should have been subbed off.

For the first 46 minutes against Spurs we were by far the better team. The commentators were saying that Spurs were getting increasingly frustrated and how the half time score was not a fair reflection of the game. OK it all went pear shaped in the second half but that first half performance was a taste of what has come in subsequent matches. Just think where we would be if we had turned up against Palace. A great night to be a Saints fan. Lets just enjoy it.

I can see the Portsmouth Evening News headlines now: Portsmouth lad captain of the team at the top of the Premier League

Yes. We only count the match commentary.

My missus says 3 mins 30. I say 5 36. My lad is saying 23 20 whilst his girlfriend is going for 11 52. One of us has to be right.

A Friday night home match. I am sure that the commentator will tell us what happened the last time we played at home on a Friday night. I go for 5 mins 36 secs in the 9 nil sweepstake - after it will have been mentioned in the pre kick off discussion.

Can someone please clarify for me: Is Trump still playing a blinder?

Enjoy

What are you on about now? After the 2016 election did Hilary or " miilions of lefties and pinkoes" threaten court proceedings, claim to have won whilst many states were still counting, declared that she had won certain states which were still counting and issued an avalanche of crazy tweets?

Hmmm. I am not sure about that. I know where you are coming from but a large amount of money will be required not only to buy the club and get them promoted but also to ensure that they don't become one of the "yo yo clubs" like Norwich, WBA and Fulham.

I agree with Billy Shite's comment on Twitter: If Saints win on Friday night lets start a demonstration " Stop the League".

... but what would Princess Diana and Madeleine McCann think of Biden?

The American electoral college system was designed centuries ago to satisfy the demands of the individual states who were suspicious of the powers of a federal government. It is even more outdated than our system and it definitely favours the Republicans. The Democrats have won the popular vote in 6 out of the last 7 American elections. When counting is over this time Biden is likely to have more than 4% of the popular vote than Trump yet the electoral college vote will be close. Throw voter supression into the mix (eg one drop off box for pre election votes in the predominantly Democratic city of Houston - population over 4.1million) and the Democrats have some pretty substantial headwinds to contend with.

Biden now 1/4 with the bookies.

After the 2016 election Farage stayed in the States and hung around Trump his new best buddy like a bad smell. He was filmed "having dinner with Trump". Well at least he was in the same room as the orange one. If he is now back here rallying the gormless I guess that even "the King of Europe" is not holding out much hope for Trump's re election.

That's a good idea. I wonder why all those scientists all over the world haven't thought about how the virus spreads. If only they had thought about it. Its a good job that a village idiot like you who sweeps the floor in a cafe is on the ball.

As a long standing/suffering/enjoying Saints supporter let me assure you that we will blow it if we have a chance to go top. I fully expect a 1 3 defeat. We are Southampton. It is what we do. (With a bit of luck a prediction like that will mean that I am wrong and we stroll to a comfortable win. .😁😁😁 ).

I watched the match on hesgoal. Does anyone know who the 2 commentators were? The Tom Kerridge soundalike was getting on my nerves.

Thank you Keef. Noticed and acted on.😀

Biden to win by over 100 electoral votes - maybe more. Trump has been toast for a long time and it is only the knowledge of what happened last time that prevents the polls that put Biden ahead from being taken even more seriously. Nate Silver's website below gives a great way of estimating the likely outcome. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-biden-election-map/?cid=abcnews

He only played the second half but in that time managed to get himself booked.

Thanks for your many posts on this subject Duckie. I think that you have proved conclusively that football supporters are biased towards their own team and see things through rose tinted glasses. Who would believe it?? Perhaps your next mission might be to discover the religion of the Pope or perhaps to discover what bears do in the woods.
