at 10:59 21 Apr 2025
If any of you here collect programmes a little head up on the Everton one, it is going to be a 166 page A4 sized edition costing £10.
In the next week or so you will be able to order it online from Everton, they are producing 40,000 copies and it is expected to sell out virtually immediately on line, even if there are some available on the day, it will be big and bulky to carry |

Thread | Great Games Played At Easter.
at 10:57 17 Apr 2025
1978- we played 3 games in 4 days and indeed 4 games in a week.
Sat 25th March, Charlton (H) 4-1 Williams 2 Funnell & MacDougal, not as easy as it sounds we were 1-0 down till the 41st minute when Steve EWilliams scored.
Easter Monday 27th March, Bristol Rover (H) 3-1 Alan Ball missed a penalty before Phil Boyer scored twice to give us a 2-0 lead, Rovers pulled one back on the hour, but MacDougal steadied the nerves on 80 minutes to make it 3-1.
Wednesday 29th- Cardiff away, not many Saints fans here as Cardiff had a scheme where only away fans travelling by official club coaches could go, we lost 1-0 to a 14th minute goal.
Just 3 days later we played Blackburn Rovers at home and beat them 5-0, John Bailey was roundly booed everytime he got near the ball and with 6 games left we were firmly in the top 3 automatic places. |

Not a joke this time, but I would imagine that the announcement will be made after the weekend, when they know which fixtures are available for TV and which will be cancelled as the two teams are in the FA Cup Final. |

Thread | On This Day 1989

Hillsborough, a day when even at West Ham where Saints had just won a tense relegation battle, that fans stopped fighting each other for a little while and forgot differences and felt the pain that Liverpool supporters felt.
Back then there was no calling them names, just sympathy, sadly over the years that has all been forgotten.

Thread | 5 Things About Aston Villa Game
at 09:12 14 Apr 2025
1. Change was needed, but we didn't get change, we got the same players doing the dame things.
2. Good support given the circumstances, but you could tell there was no enthusiasm in the crowd, just a feeling of foreboding, that opened the floodgates when Villa got their second and people left en masse.
3. As above I don't think I have ever seen St Mary's so empty on 90 minutes, I'm not blaming anyone here, just pointing out the fact that this is the feeling in the fanbase.
4. At least it meant that their were no queues to get over the footbridge at the final whistle.
5. Onwards and upwards towards the 3 points and then we can concentrate on next season. |

Thread | Songs For Simon Rusk
at 07:59 12 Apr 2025
Aside from Simon Rusk's Red & White Army, will any other songs appear to cheer up the masses in the final weeks of the season.
One that could have potential is the song Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Why don't you ask him if he's going to stay?
Why don't you ask him if he's going away?
Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?
Why don't you ask him what's going wrong?
Why don't you ask him the latest on his throne?
Don't say that you love me
Just tell me that you want me
Tusk (Rusk) |

Thread | 5 Things About Tottenham
at 15:05 7 Apr 2025
1.There seem to be a lot more foreigners watching Spurs these days, mainly Dutch and Scandinavians it seemed.
2. The stroll down Tottenham High Road from Seven Sisters station was very pleasant with a few good pubs along the way, I especially liked the converted public toilets.
3. The Spurs support is awful.
4. I did enjoy the stick a Spurs fan sitting in the bit behind us got when he screamed for Johnson to take the last minute penalty and complete his hat trick.
5.As I always have said, a great stadium, a sh*te place to watch football |

Thread | 5 Things About The Palace Game
at 12:25 3 Apr 2025
1. The attendance was poor I would say no more than 25,000 in the ground, if you take into account 3,000 Palace fans then I think around 4-5,000 season ticket holders gave it a miss.
2. There was a medical issue near me in the first half, the response by the stewards was non existent, it seems there are two many 18-21 year olds with no training in many parts of the ground and they haven't a clue what to do when something happens, I am sure that there are some very good stewards, but not where I was last night.
3. There is now some hope that we can avoid being the worst ever Premier League team.
4. Mateus Fernandes is a great talent, those who say that we can no longer find good players in the transfer market forget about Fernandes, Ramsdale & Ugochukwu.
5. Ryan Manning, credit where credit is due, he seems a better Premier League player than a Championship one for some reason. |

He is out of contract in the summer, with KWP leaving, he could be worth a punt.

Thread | John Sainty
at 10:21 31 Mar 2025
According to the Daily Echo he has a new book out, they say
"A book chronicling the footballing adventures of the man who laid the foundations for the famed Southampton Academy and worked with players including Gareth Bale, Adam Lallana and Theo Walcott has been published.
"The completion of Last Man Standing: John Sainty, from Saint to Saints and Beyond has been a labour of love by John's wife of 20 years Lindsay and author Neil Vacher."
I'm not sure that Ted Bates or Lawrie McMenemy would agree that he was the man who liad the foundations of the "Famed Southampton Academy", we were producing great youngsters for 40 years before he arrived at the Dell with David Jones in 1997.
I think he spent about 5 years at the club running the academy.
His best period was in the 70's and early 80's when he was assistant to John Bond at Norwich City and then Manchester City. |
