It took some of our fans minutes to highlight concerns on this "multi million record breaking sponsorship deal" , deep down the club must have realised this wasn't going to end well. Perhaps Gao told them to sign the contract as he was in on it.

Sounds like Ralph could do with a proper team around him to help add some ideas

Went past the other day to check on Ted (still looking good in the sun) but agree, 20 years on and it's starting to look aged and run down, not sure what the cost would be to renew or repair , most of it is cosmetic but St Mary's could do with some work.

Would you support Lyle Taylor and Forest players who didn't want to carry on with the knee? https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/football-news/nottingham-forest-striker-lyle-taylor-4872901

Brentford players agreed to stop taking the knee back in February. Now they have been promoted I'm sure they'll be under a lot of pressure from the Premier league and SKY PR departments to join in again, unless a decision is made by all clubs to stop it in August.

This whole scenario is similar to what I see in the Labour party, the FA are the party desperately trying to be as woke as possible , Southgate is Starmer on his knees, we've got sneering commentators who can't stand patriotic working class (see Emily Thornberry and her comments on flying the flag) and the fans are like the voters, some loyally supporting anything but many others who have just had enough of it all. They've become so focussed on how they perceive themselves the FA are out of touch with the fans in the stands and make no attempt to understand them.

You seem to be the only one mocking the colour of someone's skin, gammon this gammon that , have a word with yourself or get some help.

I'll be hoping Scotland do well despite the rivalry, used to love going to England v Scotland games, best atmosphere, will be interesting to see how many tartan army still travel down. Adams and Armstrong will both do well I reckon, Che is going to be the main man up front?

True, like this anti racism demo , what other situations do you think taking a knee could be good for? Every morning when doing the register at school?

It's a tried and tested defence mechanism used widely by BLM last year, deflect criticism by shouting racist. Works well in the media but most people actually know it's a load of nonsense.

No I'm saying if we can't have the same sponsor leave it blank. Simple. Doubt Utilita are paying us more than a couple of weeks of Fraser Forsters wage.

I think you're right, scenes like these really got the normal "fan on the street" right behind BLM and knee taking

Fuck Southgate, hope he fails miserably and goes out in the group stage.

I've done a bit of research myself and found this: "The term refers in particular to the colour of a person's flushed face when expressing their strong opinions" I hope I'm wrong but it appears SaintMB is mocking the colour of a person's skin, absolutely disgusting on a sensitive thread such as this. I'd hate to think what terms he uses for people of other skin tones.

Agree, he was excellent today, miles better than that injured Henderson who clearly isn't fit and was so desperate to see his name on the score sheet pulled rank and took a pen (badly)

But why gammon? it's a tasty dish that many people enjoy for dinner of coursr but I sense from his post it's a derogatory term?

What does intolerant gammon mean? Can you help explain it for those of us who don't know.

Not sure about that, Spurs know exactly how to play the market, unsettle a player and via the agent get them to force through a move especially targeting players nearly out of contract, textbook from Wanyama and Hojberg can be followed.

My point you imbecile is that a replica kit is supposed to be just that, the same. If we're not capable to make it the same because of gambling legislation then making our kids shirts look more like another clubs than our own is ridiculous. I usually get my kids the shirt but doubt I'll bother forking out £45 or whatever the price is for these.

Example Saints kid size v Brentford first team kit.

Come off it. Our kids shirts look more like Brentford than Saints

Must admit I'll be wanting Scotland to beat England now.

There seems to be much more media buzz around Phillips than there is for JWP, if he drops JWP it will hardly get a mention in the main national press, he's just not a player who attracts a lot of attention and for Southgate would be the easy one to drop.

Remember he left the England camp early in the last international break, thought that was a bit odd, must have had a row and told Southgate he's a shit manager i reckon.

I'm the same now days mate, just can't get into it. Think as a kid i used to want England to lose as punishment for overlooking Le Tissier. Looking forward to watching the games and might favour a dark horse side but can't stand most of the England team, if there's no Saints players in the side even more reason to not be bothered.
