Reply | Saints shirt in Pompey
at 23:05 29 Jun 2025
I remember being down near Port Solent Tesco several years ago when a bloke in a red and white striped shirt was accosted by an overweight woman in tow with a skinny runt of a bloke who came running up to support her in her shouts of 'Scummer'.
The fellow in the shirt took one step forward and laid out the skinny bloke and threatened to do the same to the lardy woman.
Since then I have had a grudging respect for Sunderland fans |

Reply | What is middle class nowadays?
at 19:05 24 Jun 2025
Like Ron 11, I grew up on a Council Estate and our family made our way without a car, phone, proper heating, a 14" rented TV, days out on the Common or Sports Centre and my Mum with no fridge or washing machine or other of today's household basics..
We were no different to others on our Estate and I guess we would be classed as Working Class but my mother did all she could to try to make us move to the next level.
Always well turned out and respectful to others.
None of our family relied on benefits and you cut your cloth to the amount of money coming into the house.
I got a paper round to pay for my trips to The Dell and occasional away games.
A 10/- note (50p!!) for a birthday or Christmas gift was looked upon as a decent present.
When I bought my first house (for £9k), the interest rate was 17%, so I worked two nights a week (hated it) and also a Saturday (not a bad option but meant that I missed football) to pay the mortgage.
My kids wouldnt do that nor would many others in todays world.
I am now fortunate to earn a six figure sum but believe I still retain the principles instilled in me by my upbringing and I am sure many people my age share the same disciplined life.
I dont live the high life, generally holiday at home and will buy a 12/24 month old car to replace my 10 year old (well maintained) car as I want to help my kids in such a difficult and challenging world.
It used to be the difference between working and middle class is that the later wore a tie.
Not so nowadays.
I just wish people were more respectful and not to expect so much from life.
Problem is the expectation level is now kicked on to an unsustainable level. |

Lewis Skelly would struggle to get into our underperforming team on the basis of his performance last night.
Truly abysmal. |

Just a thought about Bazunu.
Burnley bought James Trafford from Man City after he had been on loan with Accrington and
Bolton.
I think he is about the same age as Baz.
Trafford struggled at Burnley in the Prem but has shone this year in the Championship so much so that he is interesting bigger clubs.
So in some respects there are similarities.
The only advantage that Trafford has is that he is 3-4" taller than Baz.
Goalkeepers improve with age and hopefully Baz will too. |

I think a lot of the 'lack of passion' is due to our awful Premiership home record in recent years. |

I agree that Sports Republic have done some good things off the pitch and their continued support of the Saints Foundation is a real positive.
The owners have also made a decent amount of money available for transfers
However the fact of life is that apart from Ramsdale and Fernandes the signings over the past couple of seasons have been pretty disastrous.
I have been a supporter for many, many years and experienced a number of relegations and pretty average teams playing at The Dell and SMS.
Never in all my years have I witnessed my team being totally outclassed on such a regular basis as has happened this season. |

I am with you there.
For around £3 a week I think it is really good value.
All the other stations I look at have extremely boring advert breaks.
People will have their own view as to whether their news programmes are biased but as there seems to be complaints from both sides of the political spectrum, I reckon they have the balance right.
Problem is, going forward, the BBC doesnt seem to appeal to young whippersnappers who prefer other (darker??) mediums.
Also the BBC dramas and documentaries, which cost a lot to produce, dont have the funding available to them compared to the likes of Netflix. |

1d On The Ball
Getting to The Dell more than a hour before the game and queuing to get into the boys pen for the best spec.
Getting soaked on an open terrace.
Most pitches devoid of grass from October to April. Muddy in winter, dry as a bone in Spring.
Heavy leather footballs. |

When Pompey won the League just after WW2 their average home attendance was around 37,000 in a ground that could hold 50,000.
That was less that Hull City who were champions of Division Three North
At that time there were a lot of Navy personnel in Pompey and Gosport and quite a few people from outside Pompey, including some from Southampton and elsewhere in Hampshire, who used to go to Fratton Park to watch the occasional game.
Obviously these were not members of the laughingly named Southampton Combined Union of Men, who were rampant strike breakers, according to Pompey folklore.. |

IF it is built and IF we manage to return to the Prem in 5 years time, would we be given 10% of the tickets?
Wouldnt it be better to build the new stadium in London or somewhere else closer to where their core support comes from? |

Apparently a Russian Commentator reckons it was all a set up by the nasty British and designed to implicate the innocent Captain.
Perhaps he's right.
The dastardly Brits probably manufactured a bit of light fog and the vessel at anchor was surreptitiously moved in the way of the oncoming container ship. |
