I noticed during the Stomping Ground interview a few times when being asked about who was the changing room music DJ, RM answered it WAS Che but he’s gone !! I know he is out of contract and not the club employee anymore but sounded like he has gone gone.

People complain when it’s not traditional stripes and now when there is such a kit they complain it looks a poor version of Sunderland, Exeter or Brackley. I must be missing something but apart from details like width of stripes, collar or sleeves what are they supposed to do with traditional stripes? The sponsor is the sponsor and that’s their logo, what do you expect put Draper on the front even though they are not our front of shirt sponsor and probably don’t have the marketing budget to be? Overall I personally like the home and away kits being traditional colours and design, although I dislike plain shirt backs when there is no regulatory need but the pattern on the back of the home shirt does at least soften the look, I don’t know why the away shirt couldn’t have the same patterned back as the front. As for the sponsor whoever we have their logo will be on the front of shirts whether we agree with their selection or not. I would have preferred (if we could have attracted them) a worldwide non betting company such as MSC Cruises ( who do other sporting sponsorship and have local connections ) or some other travel, leisure, electronics or financial company. The EPL has a worldwide audience so it will attract sponsoring companies that operate in many parts of the world. Anyway like it or not these are our shirts for this season, now complete the assembly of our squad and get the best out of the players that we have to compete not just survive in the EPL.

Is it to hypnotise the opposition?

5 shirt with 1 shorts but if only one then 5 for home and 6 for away. Can a vote be set up on here?

I wonder why the gates don't go down to nearer the ground level?

I remember using the tear off bus vouchers for a few years after St Mary's opened. You could use them on any bus within the Southampton boundary.

I’d definitely like to see it for the 2025/26 season to commemorate the 50th anniversary of us winning the FA cup. 50 years gosh!

Ironically the cheapest place for over 65s is the Kids Zone 😂

Do we get a new main shirt sponsor next season?

It would be good if they live broadcast it like they used to at the end of season review / awards evenings.

My son managed to buy a ticket 5 minutes before it seems to have sold out, very fortunate.

Can you select seats? My son can’t see a seat plan to choose.

Maybe in order of where they finished in the league?

Son has got his ticket for this in the section at Wembley that he wanted.👍

We keep giving the ball away in dangerous areas

I’ve just had a look at the ‘seat’ availability in the Northam, block 41 has one seat left, 42 sold out, 43 about 50 left, 44 about the same as 43, 45 about 80% sold and 46 about 75% still available.

What has happened to our form since mid second half against Cardiff when we should have been out of sight in that game? It reminds me of us a few seasons ago when we went into Aston Villa away on good form after beating West Ham in the cup, we lost 4 0 and our performances were terrible after that.

Interview with Russell that was shown on Sky before our match against Leicester. Nearly at the end of the interview at about 4.50 he talks about ‘ I might not do the job I’m asked of this season, it’s that tight, and then I could lose my job but this is football’ but hopes he gets time to build something here. I can’t seem to post a link but search Sky Sports Russell Martin interview to view.

When teams like Ipswich make substitutions they improve, we were only 1 0 down when our 2 subs came on 60 mins and then conceded 4 goals in the next 20 minutes!

4 goals scored since the substitutions. Why are we bombing forward when the game is lost.

I still don't trust this side, if we concede 1 our whole way of playing can suddenly deteriorate.

3 0

Just seen this on twitter, very clever. https://x.com/jhgolld/status/1779477155870642229?s=48&t=ZaIQ9msuYS3ZMidRv6Tkmg

In just the last few weeks, leading v Middlesborough, Ipswich and now Watford going into the closing period of the game and it was tight in the end v Coventry.
