His whole career at Saints is littered with false dawns, but fingers crossed it’s different this time. It’s very early days, but this group look different. Hats off to whoever identified the young players and fair play to Ralph for getting them playing so well. Maybe Ralph works better with hungry young players, but they all seem to have bought into his methods so far this season. Since the second half against Leeds there seems real desire and work rate amongst them. Long May it continue.

I work in Bournemouth & Parker was not popular, he’s probably the least popular manager to get a side promoted since Fat Sam at West Ham.

It’s just a shame Labour didn’t have over a decade and 3 large majorities to do something about it. It’s all Thatchers fault.

Not unless you’ve personally seen him using.

A bloke I know has emailed twice, once when we received the “behave or else” email from club and secondly with specific details of inconsistent stewarding during Leeds game. Both times he’s only received generic “thanks for your email” reply and nothing since.

It’s a classic “Ow much, Ow much, 10 Grand? Fuck off. 5.

Tony Currie was such a great player, criminally wasted by English football. We had fantastic players in the 70’s but it’s perceived as a bleak period in English football, but my bins and our record in The European cups tell me otherwise. Anyway, back on subject. Che Adams was my MoTM or PoTM.

Fucking hell, “Southampton all or nothing” will be as boring as the last series of Line of duty. Bunch of son-in-laws mince about, top brass embrace wokery, and noddy fans wave their half and half scarves. Its a no from me.

How are they getting on?

Yeah, but we’ve got 2 of the fuckers. Liverpool are a class side, losing 9 to Leicester at home with 10 is just as bad as losing 9 at anfield with 11

I was talking to a bloke I know on the train home who has season ticket in itchen north. He reckons there’s not only police, and stewards but they’ve now got private security company as well. Don’t know if true but that’s what he reckons. Also said he waited behind to talk to old bill yesterday, asking why there’s no consistency of stewarding between home and away fans. He claimed a female steward came over and said “you fucking lot stir the opposite side up”, before a male steward shut her up. The bloke asked why nothing was done about flares, when it was obvious who the culprit was and the copper said “we’ve got the best cctv in the country and we’ll get them later”. Bloke said “bullshit, you’ll do fuck all”. As he was leaving the steward who hushed the bird steward up said “you’re wasting your time mate, the club want that block cleaned out”. I know the bloke, not particularly well, but he’s always struck me as straight so I believed him.

Doesn’t sound like any ale house I’d frequent or even visited. I’m surprised such places exist, but you’ve clearly visited some.

Do you want a lift? I’m sure we’d get some volunteers to take you there

Nobody discusses politics in any boozer I go in. Otherwise we’d get bores like you banging on. Forget about Uncle Albert, I bet every conversation with you starts “during the evil Tory years of blah blah blah.”

Complaining? My arse. Far more money to be made from lads necking real ale that you soft arsed Wokies nursing half a shandy and banging on about Boris & Trans issues

Agreed, he’s a much better option than those three, even now. At the end of the day he’ll take clog from the supporters but he’ll end up with a far better overall Saints career than Djenppo, Walcott (second time) & Mo.

I’d have thought the opposite, your local will get busier if you stop going in there.

Because we’ve got about 12 decent players available Sat.

I really wasn’t joking. The team should pretty much pick itself, but you never know with Ralph around. He’ll probably bring Bednarek back & start Redmond up top.

The World Cup throws a spanner in everyone’s predictions this season. Not really studied who plays for which country and which of the “strugglers” will lose key men. You also don’t know who is going to suffer disappointment & mental fatigue from playing in Qatar and how that’ll affect anything. However, I’m pretty sure some players not going will welcome the rest, clubs will have the majority of key men resting and that rest, could just give them a couple of extra points that may get them over the line.

Instead of mincing around they should have been doing some proper police work. You know, like maintaining law and order. A proper police presence in the town centre may have nipped this in the bud. They’re coppers, not a fucking concert party. https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2022/08/dispersal-order-for-lincoln-city-centre-after-several-large-fights/

🛌 🥱 😴

It depends on which Ralph turns up too.

Wonderful footballer, Such sad news. RIP

Fucking hell, if losing to Man C & Arsenal is “showing signs” of being in trouble, most of the league will be fucked.
