Kyle Walker Peters Dumps Besiktas Move But Where Next ?
at 12:39 18 Jul 2025

Ironically, although he was obviously one of the most talented footballers to play for us in recent years, he was targetted as a defensive weak link by opposition managers. That's probably why he didn't attract much interest from Premier League clubs.

He is skilful, hardworking and always gives 100%. He's also a very likeable character. I wish him well.

Southampton Interested In A Central Defender ! Why !

I'll always remember Tony Funnell's goals in our promotion run-in in 1978. It's a shame that his career fell off a cliff after that.

Will Still's Red and White Army would be a hell of a lot easier.

Sport Republic's transfer policy is to buy youngsters for their potential 'resale value' regardless of whether we need anyone in that position.

They don't seem bothered about team building. So, we could end up with half a dozen left wingers or a dozen centre backs.

DANNY INGS TO SIGN!!!!!!!!!!
at 09:13 16 Jul 2025

The proof of the pudding......

I guess we'll soon find out who'll score more goals out of Ings and Downs. There again, they are both so injury-prone that maybe we won't.

I don't recall any Ginger Strachan or Ginger Ball songs, but if you really want to sing it, you might get a few funny looks, but I doubt that anyone would be bothered.

Dibling is such a classy player though. He'll score a lot of goals in the Championship this season.

I bet the West Indian crowd found this even less funny:

Talking of crowds, I expect the vast majority of the Lord's crowd were born in England, yet most of them seemed to be supporting India.

Southampton Defender Linked With Move To Championship Rivals
at 16:39 14 Jul 2025

He can be a good Premier League player too. He's played 169 Premier League games. He'd certainly be very useful for us this season. Unfortunately, the players we sell are the good ones because nobody wants the bad ones.

Cucurella deliberately provoked it by barging into the player off the ball. He knew what he was doing. He must be incredibly annoying to play against, but Chelsea fans like him for that reason.

Barcelona are notorious for their use of the dark arts and that's probably where he was encouraged to grow his hair like that and use it the way he does.

Who are the players that Will Still says want to leave?

Let's hope that McCarthy and Smallbone are not part of his plans.

Behind the goal in the Chapel you'll be fine. Blocks 16-19, there will be no problems with stewards. You'd only have problems if you tried to stand for the whole game in Blocks 20 & 21 next to the away fans.

One things for sure and that's if the dozen or so fans who move there, stand up persistently in a non-standing area to look at the away fans, they'll be banned from the Pompey game, and it will be very easy for the Club to do that with such a small number involved. If there are more, they may even close that block completely as they did with Block 1. That is fairly predictable.

If gawking at the away fans is not the reason for the move, there are plenty of other blocks you can move to where you'd be less likely to get banned and, as a bonus, you'll have a better view of the game.

In terms of results, last season was the worst in our entire history so that was hardly the time to make a comparison. IF this season is anywhere near average, you can judge it more reasonably.

Personally, I thought that, in spite of the abysmal season the team had, the Northam remained remarkably loyal and vocal in their support and that was one of the few sources of pride for our supporters. It got mentioned by TV commentators too.

They're only 4th favourites at 9/1. I expect those odds will shorten. João Pedro is the striker they were lacking last season.

It was a great performance from Chelsea. I was surprised, but enjoyed seeing PSG humiliated like that.

The vast majority of our fans are happy with the new setup. The Northam is more popular than ever, especially with younger fans. You're talking about a handful of middle-aged men who have to gawk at the away fans. They're not going to see much of the game.

"If we'd have trounced them by 5 or 6 we'd all be shouting that we'll walk the league"

I'm afraid you'd have been on your own in shouting that. We beat them 7-1 last pre-season and nobody thought it was any more than the sort of result you'd expect from a match between 2 teams so many leagues apart. When we met a team nearer our level - Oxford United - they beat us 2-0.
