What is the problem with bringing in a young player with a view to looking at his potential for the future? We are not spending a fortune on him and if he does turn into a decent player it will have been worth a punt.

I am off to the newsagents. Apparently there is an offer for a free Union Jack Brexit tea towel in the Mail. Yay.

This thread isn’t just supposed to be about Fox. Years ago I used to get irritated by the likes of Glenda Jackson and Billy Bragg banging on about their political beliefs, though to be fair to them Jackson did become an MP and Bragg has been as much a political activist as singer/songwriter. More recently Katie Hopkins has transformed herself from would be Apprentice to rent a gob and was doing financially very well out of it until she overstepped the mark in spectacular fashion and bankrupted herself in the process. She was also brilliantly set up recently where she accepted an award from C.U.N.T. and buried herself in the most damning way in her acceptance speech. With any luck that will be the final nail in her career coffin. Sadly though there will always be someone to take her place. Perhaps it will be Fox?

You are assuming that if they go they will be replaced externally. Isn’t the “Southampton Way” about bringing the youngsters through?

Hey Tommy and welcome. This is a surprisingly optimistic post. We will soon knock that out of you!

Trial. No witnesses. How does that work?

Fair enough. Deal.

Yes that him!

I know what you mean Trousers and normally I wouldn’t bother with it. However it keeps winning awards and I can’t get my head around it’s popularity. Not only that, it is on the B.B.C. so I am paying for it!

Opinion not option.

She didn’t say he wasn’t allowed to have an option. She called him out for saying that this country isn’t racist when clearly there is a problem with racism here and for saying that Markle hadn’t experienced negative media due to racism when she clearly has. She pointed out that as a privileged white person, how would he know. It was a fair comment and he has gone on to make a number of other ill informed comments since.

Just imagine the meltdown against the Board if KWP has chosen to go to Palace or West Ham instead. Like it or not he is here and he is cover for both full back positions. Perhaps we should wait and see how he does before we judge the decision to sign him?

On TalkSport earlier they thought it was over a relegation clause that WHU were insisting on. Lol.

I don’t think that my taste is superior. I just don’t find the programme in the least bit funny. It is rehash of something from the 70’s and not a particularly good one. It’s not a question of being less sophistated. It is just so damned awful.

Ralph made it clear from the start that he only wants players who want to be here. Cedric wanted out so fair play. It will take a while for Valery to get back up to speed so let’s hope that KWP hits the ground running. If not there is always the other WP who can slot in at right back. Not an ideal situation. Lots to be done in the summer.

Can he play right back?

Ok, expecting this in the summer but now???

That depends on whether or not KWP turns out to be better than Cedric.

Mrs Browns Boys winning best comedy at the NTS awards this week. Better than Fleabag? Really?

Still can’t get my head around this, especially as he is currently crocked and out of action, but can only assume that Ralph is okay with it.

Amazing isn’t it. No one was interested in our players a short time ago but a run of good results and we are back to becoming a feeder a club for the top 6 again. Can’t see Hoj going anywhere right now.

Hypo will love this thread. I shall start things off with Laurence Fox. A few weeks ago he was only known for doing a bit of acting. All of a sudden he has become the go to celebrity for a controversial comment on current issues with an alt right bias. I don’t know what the opposite of a “Snowflake” is, but he is it. Since launching himself as an anti snowflake on Question Time a couple of weeks ago he has rivalled Piers Morgan in the rent a gob stakes. Today’s tirade is in defence of Alistair Stewart who probably feels that Fox has just made his situation worse. Just STFU and go back to acting.

Even though he won’t be playing for most of the next month?

Only if you are not a pessimistic and expect us to sell most of the squad in the summer.

How come most players “leave” but Hoj is “sold?” What makes you think so many of the 1st team squad will go? Don’t you think that we will be looking to keep our better players while putting our efforts into finally getting rid of the dead wood?
