Select on merit only! I agree. Which is exactly why the club are encouraging particular groups of people to apply (and I agree they could do more for other groups beyond the ones they mentioned). They want the best. If the club see that applicants for positions are not representative of the local community, then they need to find a way to encourage under-represented groups to apply, otherwise they most likely won't be getting the best candidates (unless, of course, you think that some types of people are intrinsically better than others).

Please, please, can we have a 0-0 draw today.

I am loving Sugawara's style and energy

Official website says Saints played Bristol City this afternoon https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/matches/mens-team?teamId=5rWqTSv5IrxHLIaTP8kJgM But there's a glitch on the match centre page and it's showing a line-up of players who have left, presume from an older game. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/match/bristol-city-women-v-southampton-f-c-women?tab=line-ups But does anyone know if we did play today, and isn't it a bit odd to play a friendly against a side we're playing in the league on 9th Sep?

At last Sky back showing bonus football alongside the ticking clock. No commentary though. For a while I had a dodgy stream casting to the telly and get nothing but a huge advert for Jerkmate. Such is life...

I find myself feeling somewhat annoyed and disappointed by the result of that football match.
