I don't know who they've signed but I'm pretty sure I'll know exactly what they said in their first interview.

Tiny weak PM tries to look strong with bigboy announcement.

I have no problem with the dismantling of a dreadful squad and the bringing in of sensible replacements, a new era, a fresh start. Keeping Lavia, Tella and Prowsie would have been nice, but the money has been right in fees and wagebill savings, and the new business model needs income. There's more deadwood to clear, get them out of the door.

Is that the first draft of the Stewart Lee routine? 😎

Braverman is absolutely fucking bonkers. She's denying basic maths by persistently claiming 20,000 extra police officers when the real figure is 3,000, she's obsessed with pleasing thick racists by using mad soundbite phrases like lefty lawyers and woke as she tries to conjure up some imaginary enemy we can all blame, she has stated that opposition political parties support criminal gangs and now she seems to think that all firefighters are hardcore political activists acting against her. She's wrong on most things, she's grossly incompetent, she's wasted hundreds of millions of pounds on madcap stunts, she couldn't run a bath, she's dangerous and she's a fucking lunatic. It's not a good mix and it's an appalling public image for the UK. Fareham, sort it out.

Things you miss when you are at the game - as mentioned above, the fact that their goal would have had a major offside enquiry in the Premier League, and more importantly, the quality of that save by Bazunu prior to their disallowed goal - top class save in a crowded box.

Ref was totally inconsistent with cards, and his assistant on the Itchen dodged most decisions all afternoon - shirt-pulling right in front of him, offsides, he even left a few corners and throw-ins to the ref. On a positive, Armstrong.A was chasing everything, classy finish, committed and energetic performance, and the makeshift centre back pairing took no shit and wouldn't be bullied - their centre forward came looking for trouble and discovered he was at the correct address. A good day.

It's not about disruption, it's a distraction event. If Met officers are tied up with that, women will be safer and London will be a nicer place for a day.

I have no insider knowledge of our transfer plans but I'm really concerned about what might or might not be happening, either way it's worrying. Typical Saints. 😕

Mike Dean did issue cards in unusual patterns that would be very difficult to predict if let's say, you liked to predict things against long odds. One card in the whole game, and to a keeper, or none in an hour, then six in ten minutes, that sort of thing.

This has all the potential to be one of those rare transfer deals that doesn't work for anyone. He's already demonstrated that he cannot score goals in a poor Premier League side, so I can't see him ripping up trees at Everton, and we need a good Championship striker, which I believe he is. Everton fans will hate him if he doesn't score a few, he'll become a figure of fun, the only winners could be his agent and his bank manager. It's a massive gamble for him.

Something has to change, you cannot have convicted murderers or even accused defendants dictating and controlling proceedings by ignoring them. For many relatives I believe it would be useful for them to see that the guilty are forced to hear the impact statements. But the victims' families would have a say on the attendance issue, it's not compulsory, the court wouldn't force families into a confrontation with the murderer. As for the circus element, some would try to hijack it - soundproof dock with one way PA? Or if they want a circus, maybe gag them like Hannibal Lecter on a sack truck....

I heard an old guy struggling to get gears outside a shop and asked him if he was alright. He got out saying he was struggling to find first, I tried it, no problem.. We established that his seat was too far back - he'd also had an MOT and they'd moved it, he couldn't reach the pedals properly. He'd been driving it around for ten days, only just able to reach the wheel.

Great business for us, perhaps Liverpool will learn a lesson from how they bungled the whole thing. Cash in the bank plus comedy value. 👍

That was balanced comment from Blackmore I think, it is a gamble for Prowsie and he's been a great servant to Saints so I hope he breaks the free kick record, but West Ham? It doesn't sound like there's much of a pay rise, it's a valid point about travel and family, yes it's a bigger stadium and he might get to play against the mighty Qarabag FK, Slavia Praha and Sheriff, but the second time a free kick misses the target the fans will be on his back, they want another Declan Rice, so it could all go a bit Ingsy on him. Maybe it's a reflection on him thinking we are unprepared for a swift return and he could be right, but he has taken a gamble.

Mighty Liverpool tried to bully little relegated Southampton into a cheap deal because we were so desperate for their money....then they missed the fucking boat! 🤣 Great business, wish him well, hope he excels at Chelsea and it annoys scousers for years to come.

Norwich broke after we gave the ball away, Alcarez just gave up and jogged back like he didn't care, Adam Armstrong bust a gut and won the ball back. He might not be Lionel Messi but AA put in a shift and nailed two pressure penalties.

I do hope Liverpool pay the price for pissing about with derisory offers and get beaten to Lavia now. The clock is ticking and it's not our problem, they're the ones with a gaping hole in the middle of a Premier League midfield trying to play bigboy poker. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

I heard that they want food as well, greedy bastards. Two in a one-berth cabin? I'm sure we can fit four or even six in there, and the insanity of placing 50,000 people in hotels and 15 on a barge is so much easier and cheaper than doing the actual fucking job of dealing with the applications....

Never mind, he was good for us most of the time, let's not let the crap times ruin all of the memories. It's difficult to turn down an offer from a big club. If only he'd waited a bit longer, that might have happened.

Despite the BBC proclaiming that England were dominated, which we weren't, an organised and physical Nigeria didn't have enough to break ten-women England down. Then as expected, the inexperience of big occasions sent penalties flying all over the show. A good day where England demonstrated what winners do, against an impressive but homeward-bound Nigeria. Next.

The glow of twenty-four screens erupting into life? He's an assistant manager at Rumbelows or he's doing security at Lidl. Either way his wife ain't asleep, she's just pretending.

Any idea what time the bus parade will start today? I don't want to get delayed if it backs up onto the M27.

Death bowlers chucking down wides. One job mate, one job. 😡

I don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but if some midtable team with donkey centre backs wants to frustrate us by sitting back and inviting us to attack them, we'll tear them, a new one. If a good side does that, we'll need to improve up front.
