JWP not having a very good time against the Gooners. Not sure if he touched the ball more than 2 or 3 times in the first half.

Generally, in this country we have policing by consent, ie most people obey the law. If enough people break the law the police are pretty powerless. If, on a march of say, 20000 people, 80% of them wore masks, what would happen? Maybe a few token arrests but each person detained has to be taken to a Police station and processed which takes manpower away from the march. It's totally unworkable and I'm sure that the police aren't particularly interested in enforcing it.

Well, incidents of Rickets, malnutrition and Scurvy increased sharply last year, so he's definitely making progress. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/victorian-disease-gout-rickets-vitamin-d-mumps-scurvy-measles-malnutrition-nhs-hospital-admitted-a8795686.html

I see that, out of the 5000 immigrants that were listed to go to Rwanda before the courts stopped it, 4300 have "vanished" and the Home Office have no idea where they are.

My normal route to the ground is via Melbourne St along with a good few thousand others. I would guess that the away coaches would park in the bit of Melbourne St that leads out onto Marine Parade where they could then turn left and go up past the Stadium to Northam Road. Melbourne St gets quite congested after the match so maybe they will close it to home fans until after the coaches have gone as they sometimes do with the North car park. The other problem could be with away fans who come by train. Their most direct route back to the station is Northam Road. I can't see them being sent up Melbourne St to Chapel Road and up past St Mary's Church and then to find their way across the parks to the station. The only other way is along behind the Kingsland to to footbridge.

I think it was because, at the end of the Covid-delayed season, he refused a month's extension to his contract which would have enabled hims to play Bournemouth's last few games and maybe escape relegation. He signed for Newcastle and sod's law saw Howe become manager there, so they were probably not the best of friends.

They say that you should always be nice to people when you're on the way up because you'll probably meet them again when you're on the way down.

A chat with Ryan Fraser:

West Ham fans not too keen on Danny.

Where did the Chinese come into this?

Water. A bucket or hose, the more the better. Cats hate getting wet.

Tried to get my grandson the black away shirt. None in the club shop so went to JD Sports.

What? Both of them?

Saw Keith Emerson in The Nice at Southampton Guildhall a couple of years earlier.

Mail? Mirror? Guardian?

A number of years ago I had a broken underground drain pipe. The insurance company appointed a firm from Gosport so, when I made them tea, it was served in Saints mugs. To be fair they were decent guys so I didn't spit in it first.

Exactly. From where I was watching from the Chapel it took ages for the stewards to do anything, and we were well into half-time before the medics arrived.

Are you after a job at the Daily Mail?

Something like this wasn't put together overnight. They must have been planning it for many months. Yet despite access to Gaza being controlled by Israel and Egypt, and the millions spent each year on surveillance and intelligence, Israel was taken completely by surprise. I imagine that a few of the military and intelligence services will be looking for a new job in the near future.

Indeed. it looked from The Chapel that it was a bloke in a Saints shirt that was giving CPR and it seemed to take ages before medical help arrived.

Watched it back when I got home and maybe VAR would have given offside but who cares?

I used ChatGPT and Bard so the results may not be accurate.

Just under 1500 in 2019. So just over 4 every day.
