Will Smallbone is the modern day incarnation of Lew Chatterley!

Decent squad player for the Championship (remember it’s a bit of a slog) so worth keeping imo. Smallbone however!!

Yes I will. We’re all f**king mad!

Thank you so much for your post, and more significantly, your service Francis. Yes, non Saints, but enjoyed all the contributions.

Went along for the first time. 4~0 Sholing, great goals, 2 sent off. Most enjoyable game I’ve seen this season (obviously)! Will be back.

I note that Burnley (and maybe others) offer the option of buying a sponsor free shirt. Really wish Saints had done that.

Just so sad. He came across as such a nice guy. RIP.

The fact that we didn’t win 4-0, was the players fault! The fact that we didn’t manage the game to a 1-0 win was Martin’s fault.

Well said!

Great trip and terrific second half performance. Fair play to Plymouth who were decent and well organised and pushed us all the way. Great atmosphere and support. Shame about some of the kn*bheads, particularly the couple of lads outside proudly parading the seat backs they’d obviously vandalised off!

Don’t really see the point of this thread but with society so much more transient than ever so it follows that supporters will come from further afield. I lived in London for 30 years (before moving back to Hampshire) and I remember back in the 80s that as a group ‘London Saints’ members would get a hard time by some Southampton based fans. With every home game an ‘away’ game, Saints fans travelling a distance show greater dedication than any!

What sums up the whole turgid season is the pure number of contenders. But for me, Forest at home was the worst I’ve seen in 55 years of watching Saints! Questioning my sanity in attending the return on Monday!

Scorers against Liverpool were Prutton and Crouch (Prutton assist). His best game for Saints. Charlton was in the previous season.

His Mum lived in Hull. Bit of a commute!
