Well maybe that's a slight lie, it's only one Saint, a Saints fan who a few of you might know and more of you might know his old man Mike.
My mate Derrick is fighting for the ISKA Pro British Title on Saturday, fair few of us heading up after the match straight there to watch it but it's good to see a proper mush doing well in his sport and representing Southampton a lot better than the club are doing right now

Hey all, as you know Elijah passed earlier this year from an epileptic fit in the night and Saturday's game against United will be the first one his family are at.
Both his mum and dad will be there that day and it would mean the world to them if we could clap for him on the 20th minute (his age when died) as a mark of respect.
Also would it be possible too for people to share this on whichever social media you're on too please so we can get more people involved too.
In honour of the old paper ugly here’s my ins and outs

What a totally pisstake that pricing is, effectively £50 (including the ticket tax) for adults, how the f*ck can they justify that cost during a cost of living crisis!?
A complete and utter joke from them and shows why the football league needs away price caps
Interesting, Sky have put together a league table from the last 50 years of the game and have us at 11th in the list.
Weirdly given they're such a MASSSSIVE club and clearly the biggest, hugeest, most pashooonist club in the world the skates are 37th.
This surely can't be right given that would make them perennial lower league fodder and not the glaticos of the south coast that we are so often told they are?
Like many on here I guess the specials were one of those bands that was incredibly important to me growing up so I was gutted to hear the news terry hall had passed.
Honestly one of the celebrity deaths that’s got me more than most.
For protesting in favour of women's rights at the world cup.
Honestly lost for words here, absolutely disgusting, and surely FIFA (if they had any balls) would now permanently ban Iran from any of their competitions
Looks like there's a strike on all train lines for the day of the City away game, which means i'm not going to be going, bit gutted to be fair as i was looking forward to a decent piss up in manchester.
Logged in to buy my tickets at 11am and was shocked to see there was probably only about 200 left, then realised we'd only taken the smaller allocation.
Does anyone know if we can extend to the full allocation because going by how quickly these have sold it seems a pretty bad mistake by the ticket office
I can safely share some bits i knew about him and the club, some are boring, some are interesting, but they probably put more of the why he bought us into perspective.
It's worth saying the reason i know this is because one of my family worked with him on it, and were even invited to watch games from his box.
So the reason for the initial purchase of Saints by Gao was originally for two reasons, neither of which had anything to do with the football team.
Gao bought us at a time when football was a priority for the Chinese government and his intention was to use our academy model to set up Chinese football academies to help the sport grow in the country, the second was to create "football business programmes" partnering with Southampton University, to train and create an education system and model of revenue based around football.
Both of these key aims collapsed when the chinese government changed their policy towards football, and that was the point when he stopped putting money into the club.
Gao was never going to put billions into Saints, his intentions were to use Saints to create favour in China and to create business connections in Southampton, primarily with the university.
One thing that was never mentioned much was that he was also a devout buddhist and his religion and Katherine's religion were one of the reasons she trusted him as a buyer.
Anyway like i said it's a bit dull maybe, but should give some insight into why he bought us in the first place, and maybe give us an understanding of the things that make us attractive to other buyers.
