People who prefix everything with “super” as in super excited, super happy.

So you don’t think that Cummings being an elitist, self serving arrogant hypocrite has got anything to do with it?

One Tory with a backbone and a moral compass.

One Tory with a backbone and a moral compass.

Exactly. Johnson is nothing without Cummings so they are both happy to stick two fingers up to the rest of us and carry on. The arrogance is outstanding. On the plus side, Johnson has shown what a gutless, weak and incompetent leader he is so hopefully all those who thought it was a good idea to “lend” him their votes won’t make that mistake again.

I guess the question we should be asking today is who is actually running the country, Boris Johnson or Dominic Cummings?

It really isn’t Duckie. I’m no expert but those who are are saying that a second wave has the potential to kill many more than the first wave. Governments are taking it seriously because it is a very serious outbreak. Only flat earthers can pretend that there has been an overreaction. If you really do believe that it isn’t a problem perhaps you should volunteer to help out in a care home.

Yet that is exactly what he did. And despite being told not to shake hands with people and to keep a social distance, Boris Johnson actually shook hands with people infected with the virus. Stupid is as stupid does. Without a shadow of a doubt, hundreds, maybe thousands of lives could have been saved if we locked down sooner and more efficiently. As it is, lives were still saved when we did eventually lock down. Governments don’t risk economic disaster on a whim. There is a reason most of the planet shut down and by doing so it has helped contain a virus that still has the potential to kill millions.

Says it all. As for the childish name calling towards Kat, poor Marcus must be spinning in his grave. At the outbreak of the pandemic we were told that it was putting things like sport into perspective and yet here we are again, slagging off people we have never met for intentions that we don’t know if they have or not and believing any old tat written in a newspaper. Clearly the whole economy is in a mess and Southampton FC will not be alone is struggling to adjust to whatever the new reality becomes.

It’s getting worse for Cummings and the Tories. No surprise that a weak and inexperienced front bench are backing him. If Johnson had one once if common sense or leadership he would sack him as his ego won’t allow him to resign. It has been funny watching the Americans having to deal with the inept and incompetent Trump. It isn’t so funny having to live with the same sh*t over here. We live in a country of nearly 70 million people and this is the best we can do?

When in doubt, drag up Brexit. You know you are in trouble.

Nothing to see here. Dominic is above us normal plebs so the rules don’t apply to him. There will be calls for him to resign but of course he won’t, he is the power behind the throne.

I don’t know about wetting myself about Starmer’s performance so far, but it makes a pleasant change to see someone with such a Prime Ministerial gravitas on the front bench at last. The fact that he so easily punctured Johnson’s usual winging it, bluster and waffle style came as no surprise. At last the opposition have someone who can paint a picture, hold it up and say to the electorate, this is what you voted for. This is your fault. Don’t make the same mistake in the next election. Starmer has only been in the job 5 minutes and already he looks more capable than the whole of the Tory front bench put together. Granted, he lacks charisma, but give me competence and authority over a circus clown when it comes to running the country any day.

Game, set and match!

I saw a picture of Steve Williams a few years ago and barely recognised him as he had put so much weight on. I remember Ron Davies being a big guy in his playing days and most of them used to be big drinkers and no one looked after their diet much in the 60s and 70s so there probably wasn’t much of a change for many of them when they stopped playing then.

If Jose was so desperate to stay, why didn’t he sign the new contract? If Reed was so desperate to get rid of him, why did he offer him a new contract? If Jose was happy, why employ an agent who is know for playing hard ball. Where did the stories about the interest from Manchester United come from? Reed? I didn’t want Fonte to go, but I don’t believe for one minute that he was blameless in what transpired. The fact that he ended up at West Ham rather than a “big club” shows us what the real interest was behind the scene and even at West Ham Jose failed to live up to his post Euros hype.

Indeed it isn’t Whelk. And I’m afraid that my days of noticing girls in marketing, or even Tescos for that matter, are long gone. Well, that’s not strictly true. I may occasionally notice, but my cardio- vascular problems mean that even wishful thinking fails to kick in (for self-preservation purposes).

Yes Whelk, do tell. I’m intrigued!

Got his timing wrong there!

Deny what Whelk?

What on Earth are you talking about Whelk?

They are but perhaps the format of the programme is all wrong. Watching a bunch of knackered old men stroll around isn’t edifying. What is interesting is hearing about how some of the veterans are struggling with life after football.

What has been particularly interesting is the insight into ‘Arry’s managerial skills and technical and tactical insights. My old Sunday team manager showed more nous. It could have been a decent programme if it had been made shortly after the players had retired rather than being completely knackered and past it.

I’m not sure that you are “Reedist” to have a balanced point of view. It wasn’t all bad under Reed, in fact we had some of our best years when he was here and he should take some credit. As for Fonte, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle and I doubt if him and us agent were completely blameless for the way the situation played out.

For someone who has never voted Tory Weston, you make a hell of a job of being a Tory apologist!
