I was chatting to my other half about taylor swift the other day and other than shake it off i don't think i've knowingly ever heard another song by her.
Which does make me think for some so unbelievably famous it's weird i can't name, or know, at least a handful of her songs.
I doubt there's another artist with the same level of fame who i wouldn't be able to do that of. |

To be honest i don't really blame people for believing this stuff, most people don't have the inclination or time to read up on international or national law (i only did because of work) and tend to trust what they're told.
In fact it was only fairly recently i learned that people who've migrated to the UK have to pay an extra "top up" for the NHS and it's not actually covered for free in their taxes, despite what the likes of Farage etc. tell you.
The people i blame are the grifters, liars and often outright evil people who DO know this but use it to stoke division and damage our country.
The elites like public school ex city banker Farage absolutely know what the laws of this country and the internaional communties are, but choose instead to hide facts. |

I grew up with Will and have told him many times that for someone who's mum had such good music taste (motown, atlantic records, and tons of northern soul) it's incredible how he's managed to make some of the most bland music going.
I've noticed a few mention queen here and in the past i'd have agreed but they were Elijah's favourite band and now their songs hold a different meaning for me so i don't hate them anymore.
As for me i think most have been mentioned already, but U2, Coldplay, Spingsteen, AC DC and also (probably controversially) Nirvana, who were just a cheap rip off of the pixies or fugazi for me |

an influencer is a public school kid who's not from southampton, loves sticking a camera infront of themselves and telling every one that our players "cook" or that "it's not that deep", whilst brown nosing the club and making us look like absolute divvys.
Every club has them these days and they really need putting into a bus with the doors sealed and driving into the solent |

Hadn't heard much about it before this and took a look, seems like it's a way for our "influencers" to jump the queue on away tickets, which is an absolute f*cking pisstake.
That lot really are a big part of the problem with modern football, why some din who likes to stick a sh*tty mic infront of his face should get precedence over genuine lads the follow saints round the country baffles me. |

That is exactly right, i do find it weird how people are so badly informed on this though.
People seem to get angry and scream about what is effectively international and therefore British law as if it's some sort of political stance.
I guess it comes down to the amount of propaganda that's fed in this area and the fact that obfuscating the truth is a useful tool to manipulate people |

I thought the club had come down hard on extra comps for away games for normal staff and only players got them?
No idea about home games, but those extra comps were one of the ways we got a fair few of our lot to more popular aways so was disappointed to see them go |

Mexico isn't that dangerous depending on where you go, it is very hit and miss for quality though.
Cancun is absolutely f*cking godawful and should be avoided like the plague, it's basically magaluf for americans, and if you like that sort of thing then just go to magaluf and save yourself a packet.
I did a trip down from San Diego down the coast of mexico too and Tijuana is genuinely unsafe but if you carry on down that coast you get some amazing towns and places to visit. Also Mexico City is exactly what you'd expect from a big south american capital, absolutely buzzing with life and brilliant food and music.
Brazil i love, Salvador De Bahia has to be one of the best places in the world for music, yes it's sketchy in places and you need to have some common sense about you (don't walk around with expensive watches showing stuff like that) but it's honestly fine if you watch yourself.
Rio is - for me at least - the best city in the world, and the scare stories about how unsafe it is are by and large absolute b*llocks. The one thing that did surprise me there was how expensive parts of it where, easily on a par with London, and if you went to a fancy restaurant or cocktail place you'd be paying new york style prices.
I'd also recommend trips to both morro de sao paulo and the iguazu falls if you go there too. Morro de sao paulo is a car free island that's probably no bigger in land mass than the east of southampton, but with some of the most stunning beaches you'll ever see and old school colonial architecture.
The Iguazu Falls speak for themselves, i saw both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides and they're a stunning bit of nature, we also crossed over to Argentina and stayed in a six star hotel in the rain forest next to them because the exchange rate was so much in our favour it was as cheap as a bnb. |

The minute you arrive and claim asylum you're put in for processing, at that point you are not illegal, you can only become "illegal" at the point that you either over stay a visa or aren't granted one and abscond.
That is the law in the majority of countries in the world, with the exception of a handful of countries of haven't signed up to the UN Convention on the rights of refugees, which includes amongst them the illustrious nations of Russia, North Korea, Nigeria and The United States.
All major politicians know this to be true but use emotive language like illegals instead because it's more beneficial to them.
Whether you (or I) agree with this definition or not is irrelevant in the eyes of the law |

My main experience of Chicago is don't go there in january, it has to be one of the coldest places i've ever been in my life (cracking city though).
For me i'd go
1. Catania, a bit rough round the edges but the food is some of the best i've ever had in the world and there's tons to do.
2. Hyderabad, incredible food, wonderful people and some amazing history. Most people go to the cities like Delhi (which i hated) or Mumbai (which i loved to be fair), buy hyderabad is amazing.
3. Salamanca, no idea why this gets overlooked when people go to spain but the combination of history, culture, bars and food is amazing and it's as good as any of the big tourist destinations in Spain (and a lot cheaper too) |

If we're including artists that are dead as well as alive i'd go with Miles Davis first great group (the one with John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Jimmy Cobb, and Bill Evans). And the support acts of Prince and Stevie Wonder |

Why do we need a skate who passes sideways and backwards and slows the game down?
We need players who will create chances and push on, not exes some of our fans are weirdly obsessed with |

at 12:31 25 Sep 2025
People miss the point about seeding, seeding doesn't exist to reduce games, seeding exists to get eyeballs on the competition from overseas fans so they can sell more advertising to make more money.
They don't care if people in this country prefer to see underdogs do well, or cup upsets between teams, they care if Dirk in Germany or Chad in America are tuning in to see the big clubs on their telly.
Legacy fans like us and small teams are a nuisance they want to get rid of |

Funnily enough knife crime is falling (from a peak in 2018/19), violent crime in general is falling year on year, burglary is falling year on year and rape is falling year on year.
These things aren't really being reported weirdly, likewise the increase in fraud (white collar fraud) and computer misuse isn't really being talked about much too, despite it being the biggest growth area for criminal activity |

Our recruitment team are seriously f*cking inept aren't they? I mean i know we're hardly the biggest draw in the world but i reckon even Stevie Wonder chucking darts at a panini sticker album could hit a few more successful targets than them [Post edited 18 Sep 13:19]

Reply | 5 Things About The Pompey Game
at 14:56 15 Sep 2025
1. Portsmouth are now just another run of the mill lower league team, their support went through the lower league song book and lacked anything that would mark them out as different, their team are well drilled but lack skill, and they'll be relegated again long before troubling the top flight.
2. The Northam Wall is the biggest mistake the club has done in recent years, and for games like this it's a massive own goal as it just encourages away fans to mock our atmosphere.
3. It was weird to see empty seats despite the game being a sell out, can only assume they were unused season tickets or comp tickets, but it was a shame to see.
4. This Saints side WILL come good, in brief flashes we looked a good side but we need to play our own game and not let the opposition dictate the game.
5. The whole police operation was completely overkill, ok you've got a bubble that's all good, but then if you have that why did you need multiple helicopters, police going round every pub in town and police horses around the stadium, surely the point of the bubble is to stop the need for that |

Yeah those were all us, as was "we're going to chase them through goldsmith avenue, and then we're taking fratton" to the tune of electric avenue.
Hopefully that chapel block will develop like the Itchen North did when it was good and we'll have a few more unique songs that aren't ripped off other clubs. It's always easier to do that with smaller numbers and generally older heads |
