East Kent Saint

We can all live together in harmony until something kicks off ie Serbia/Bosnia where neighbours suddenly think it’s a good idea to kill them then burn their houses down . Racist or racism ? I would say Racist but no more than most countries. I suggest that we are all tribal , I am not exposed much to racism as I am white and most people I live around are as well but I still hear the odd racist comments.

Your idea that the UK isn’t racist is still laughable even if you keep repeating it. Gang violence is such a difficult problem to deal with , it’s not so simple at all as just clamping down on gangs by our , defunded by the Tories , police but a massive social issue. I like most people find the level of violence beyond belief but it still happens. we agree that the Prem cocked up by not making their own gesture against racism as Taking the Knee was specific to USA . Standing for the Stars and Stripes before games with hand on heart was what kneeling as a gesture made the point . The point being putting 7 bullets into the back of a black man when he was pulled over for crossing a red light was not what the they thought they should be standing up for.

With added Cov 19 apparently so long recovery ?

Ha and Billy Sharp scores pen , Utd only 24 points behind ....

How much did Arsenal pay for Pepe ? He seems to have the same touch and eye for goal as Long !

And a cross that went out for a throw ! No change then ....

Double apologies for being totally wrong . Blame lockdownitis !

Apologies , like all deals I’ve been involved in , the actual consequences turn out differently to what both parties told us before the agreement .

Apart from the ERG mad Brexiters , chickens are now coming home to roost , even fishermen and farmers now realise what a major disadvantage NOT being in the EU Is . Net result a few people will richer 90 % will be poorer.

Motd showed multiple replays which pinpointed a slight touch on Pogba's left boot which caused his back leg to hit his right leg and fall over . Now was it a penalty ie accidental touch of feet or an intentional foul ? I say no penalty. Re Klopp : he has consistantly defended Salah going down in the penalty area like a sack of spuds with even the slightest touch so what goes around comes around.

Chelsea are willing to give Frank Lampard more time as manager, but the situation is under constant review, with Thomas Tuchel, Max Allegri, Brendan Rodgers and Ralph Hasenhuttl considered the primary options if he is dismissed. (Independent) They obviously check Saintsweb before going to press.

From the online BBC updates 'the back 4 were immense for Southampton' and 'Forster didn't have a shot to save' Fantastic game/result , lifts the spirits even in these dark days . What a manager , hope we can tie him down !

I read an article spelling out the new rules based on a points system. Lower leagues , Greece etc , get few points and it depends on appearances etc as well so bargain basement Saints type players will not get a “green card” . The article suggested uk players will come back into fashion.

To keep you feet dry !

Saka and Tierney should be signed up ASAP , I’m sure a swap deal could be arranged. It would give us a bit more forward momentum.

2-0 to the Arsenal , Big Sam’s bonus looking dodgy !

According to Tuchel he won’t have time to coach the players as he will be too busy being a diplomat to maintain a semblance of harmony between players/ bosses etc. Neymar had a 5 day disco in his underground section of his mansion in Brazil for new year !!!

Last night Adams got kicked in the back of his head and didn’t look too well afterwards on the MOTD footage . In instances like this VAR should be used to have the player subbed regardless and given treatment & not be allowed to take any further part. This would be counted as an allowed extra sub . The decision would not involve the club .

Even Liverpool struggled to create chances or get shots on target against WBA who defended all match .

Stat : Ings had fewer touches than any other Saints player and none in WH box !!

Looking at the bench , how do you make a change for the better ?

WHU started playing well when Moyes was sidelined ! Perhaps Saints will kick on , Ha Ha .

Jose says he didn’t want to defend a 1 goal advantage and it’s the players fault they didn’t show more ambition to score more !

During the Villa game the ‘tater said “ Grealish stying on his feet there” ( In the box as well) Comes under the : “things you would never hear “ list !

But he could have been judged level by the human Lino in real time and the benefit of doubt given as was the thinking at the time! Che looked as shocked as Mike Gatting when the ball bounced high and spun out of reach !
