There will be no  misogynistic discussion on our Podcast thank you very much. It’ll be world class banter and non stop lolathon 

I hope you'll be going full face paint and jester hat. And pretend to have a gammy eye for the lols.

He appears on a fans podcast which I enjoy watching and generally I agree with a lot of what he says. In this instance he tended to join in the pile on of the club. He knows there is no integrity in football - it's a game full of cheating and cheaters so we shouldn't be encouraging this feeding frenzy that portrays us as the worst of the worst. We are not and the punishment meted out has been disproportionate so let's circle the wagons and stand up for the football club rather than joining those throwing the rocks at us. 

Dislike podcasts and reporters. House is occasionally passable, but that's it.  Wasn't keen on TE when he started but since he got us playing well I've decided to put up with him. Agree that probably for the only time Steve Grant was bearable and kept perspective.

Saw no reason to join in with the pile on and hardly ever do, but you lot who complain that everything's made up and then still believe it ... .

Luckily enough to spent a few times over the years with Steve Grant when he was bearable to fair.

There's only one voice of the fans and it's me.

Aren’t you banned in France though after the regrettable incident with Glas… sorry, Christophe?

That could impact the growth outlook when it’s time to expand the podcast’s fully synergistic pan-European brand footprint

And for that reason - I’m out. If you’re looking for backing it’s either Deborah Meaden or you’re paying for it yourself

Football Martin has been funny roaring out of the gate saying he needs sacking now doing a reverse ferret. I suppose lots of fans followed a similar trajectory but media personalities should always try to rise above it and be a touch more balanced than the average reactionary fan.

I will wait for his opinion on Bob Higgins before making a knee jerk judgement.

[Noodles34]

@FootballMartin sits in his bedroom podcasting whilst his kids and missus are downstairs having their tea... 

Dunno, there's a market for it but funny the other day when he was asked a question on another online channel I guess about something that was about Saints history and he got flustered and pulled someone else over, saying something like 'ask a real fan'... Pretty much summed him up for me. 

He's constantly trying to get sponsors and make this a full time job, I guess he wants to be the new Robbie from Arsenal TV, a bit sad really. I guess the EPL dream has really fucked that up now. 

And I'm obliged to say that he doesn't eat babies.... apparently.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

I don’t want or ever have wanted to be the voice of the fans. I want the fans to have a voice on my channel that’s why I have started what I have.

I love talking Saints it's a huge part of my life. I’m really fortunate to be invited onto a lot of shows, and I enjoy some of those opportunities as I want to talk about our club.

I want fans to share their views and have those views seen by the club, and supporters all around the world. That’s one of the great things about YouTube it gives everyone the opportunity to share their opinions and be part of the conversation I have to say it's great if done right. It’s a platform that’s open to all, and I only see it continuing to be a positive place for fans to connect, discuss, and share their passion for Saints. 

Yes thats good for you to be asked to go on lots of shows, but perhaps you could show a bit more passion defending Saints instead of being Mr Too nice guy. The fans and the club needed defending but IMO you followed the Boro narrative and went against us. I cant believe how our own people havejoined in the bashing. We are a family and its ok for us to criticise our own but when others from outside do, you defend them to the last. You are obviously making plenty of money doing your thing, but dont bite the hand that feeds you as one false step and it will crash around you.

I feel passionate about the whole situation and it is something that I will flare up about, as Saints are important in my life and I will defend them. Yes they have done something ridiculously stupid and needless but by going out there to the wider world and agreeing with the biased sentiments you are harming our club and us.

Listen to Nick Illinsworth on Solent the other week (I dont know him btw) he showed the passion and fight that we as a fan base needed not mealy mouthed stuff.

While the Higgins scandal was abhorrent it didn't touch as many lives as this has. The fans and the players have been badly let down. I was angry, disappointed and shocked in equal measure when it all came out and it has put a stain on Saints' reputation in the football world which will take a long time to recover from. 

 

I'm misunderstood quite often too, probably due to my wording of things, so I feel for you that this post got taken the way it has. I knew what you meant.
You're saying the Spygate thing is wider reaching; It actively affected a lot more people, even if the effects weren't anything like as comparable. 

The fact that it's been peddled in the media to the point people can even draw some kind of comparison between the two speaks volumes, to me at least.

I asked the question, it was which saints player had the most turnovers whilst playing in the offensive flanker position during the 2022/23 EPL series. This was to test his credentials as only a real fan would know. He failed. Bro has zero baller knowledge, fam.

I agree with you. Which is why I would suggest just ignoring thoughtless abuse. 

As a content creator myself, I can tell you that although you're right, in the real world it doesn't work like that. People aren't robots.

Adam Blackmore, is a fantastic commentator and any highlights clips I hope it is his commentary. Love Goin Home with Adam and Jo.

I do not like his stance on Tonda.

Alfie House is another good journo BTW.

I do wonder if any of the Saints journos would have asked the Boro manager 'are you a cheat?' if the boot was on the other foot, as the Boro twat did to Tonda as I beieve they are too well behaved.

No, as they would show some respect

Blimey that's pretty harsh. Most people have a hobby of some sort and if he's managed to make some money from it then all power to him. A lot of his streams are short and the longer ones seem to be about 10 at night which would mean he's not missing out on his family time. Even if he were- what business is it of yours? Just say it isn't your thing and move on.

Anyway, i like Blackmore and Alfie House, both come across as decent blokes. They've got to walk a difficult tightrope between reporting the news, giving their view and also keeping the club onside with their employers. Overall i think they've got it right, critical when needed, praised when possible and do it in a quite listenable and interesting way. 

[kitch]

I like AB too, seems a good guy. Went in pretty strong on Tonda, but then most of us did! 

Alfie House is class, we're fortunate to have him.

If posters don't have the ability to articulate themselves correctly, then perhaps it would be wise not to draw such comparisons.

Alfie House is very good IMO. Unfortunately (for us), he’s probably destined for bigger things than the Echo.
