A couple of our ex-goalies have been recipients of this pension top up in recent years - Tom Heaton back at Man Utd where he started as a youth and Alex Smithies at Leicester. |

The thing young Christian is going to learn to his cost very soon is that whilst social media can be used to influence people in the political world and the rights/wrongs/results etc are always subjective and open to intepretation, there is no hiding in football when ultimately all that matters is the result on a Saturday afternoon and when the form table reads "LLLLLLL" there is no hiding place and Gen Z, or any other Gen for that matter, will be on your back very, very quickly, regardless of how much social media buttering you try. |

You jest of course but I do sometimes wonder how teams would do if they were just left to their own devices in comparison to how they do with a management team. |

Estimates but I've seen this graphic on Reddit from the Athletic.
£110.9m for Southampton for coming last. Our entire turnover for the 2024 accounting year was £25.9m.
Absolutely, utterly, impossible to compete. Ridiculous state of affairs really.

Reply | Anyone else not renewed yet?
at 12:47 27 May 2025
As a DD payer the club nicely emailed me about a day after the sale announcement to thank me for renewing my ticket, even though I've technically got until mid-June to cancel.
I will keep it for next year although with a baby at home now I definitely won't do midweeks, and overall probably plan to only do 12 home games to be fair to Mrs SLM. Like others I fear the worst for next year so might be a good year to do it!
I'll aim to try and sell my ST seat for the games I don't go to to recoup some cash, might be this way for a few years until little one is old and bigger and I can inflict misery on her for the next seven or eight decades (all being well!) of her life. |

They make lots of noise and it makes a fun atmosphere to listen to, better than a dead stadium.
I watched the last couple of Scottish Championship games on BBC and noticed the large groups of youngsters watching the games making lots of noise, and yeah the fashion etc may be cringe but you know what, good for them for going out with their mates to support their local club and not joining the Celtic/Rangers bandwagon and never going near a football ground in their lives. |

Oh what we could have done this last decade with the sort of competent leadership and management Palace have had...
Good for them, and pleased for Eze. But sad to know that QPR's best days were long before I was born! |

You can announce players you are offering contracts to as part of that list though, so Jimmy Dunne may appear on an out of contract list but that doesnt in itself mean he's definitely off (although of course the longer we go without an announcement the likelier it is...) |

Given Dundee's league performances this year I think if we're expecting Larkeche to come back and be our #1 left back we are in big trouble. |

I don't think I have at all, crossed paths with the Southampton squad in 2006 at Heathrow airport, on their way to a pre-season camp somewhere.
My Dad & Step-Mum shared a flight with Huw Edwards to Portugal when the Maddy McCann stuff was going on. Obviously everyone now has a very different view of Huw Edwards to what they would have back then... |

at 08:41 9 May 2025
I really like Varane, I think he had some excellent games last year and showed the potential to be a big player for us. Definitely lacked consistency but he's still young and it was a first year in a new country/new language etc. I have big hopes for him. |

Hire a manager/head coach. Give him no control whatsoever over coaching or transfers, fire him when results are bad, whilst everyone else keeps their job and carries on as normal.
Trebles all round! What a deal... |

That's well impressive if he's only been playing for 2 years. I used to play at junior school where we had a chess club (the sort of thing looking back makes you realise you had quite a middle class upbringing...)
Haven't played for a long time now but me & my wife occasionally used to play against each other. I used to beat her though most of the time which is why we don't play anymore... |

If he leaves I'm sure charlieb will be along to tell us that Jimmy wasn't really all that popular and was really rude to the lunch lady one day.
He's been a great player for us, he plays like he's one of us and that's high praise. I'd love him to stay. I remember after the Sheffield United game at home Chris Wilder was straight up in his ear after the game, I fear they'd be back in for him whichever league they end up in, especially as Rob Holding is only on loan. |

I think there must be a curse placed on Wycombe managers when they leave that club.
Ainsworth came to us and everything went disastrously wrong.
Bloomfield went to Luton and everything went disastrously wrong.
Hire a Wycombe manager at your peril! |

Dearie me, we weren't born yesterday. Does Lee Hoos know club resources are being used to peddle propaganda on a club forum that ultimately, accounts for an utterly miniscule portion of the fanbase?
To be honest I suspect we're not far from the nepo baby going after people that are publicly critical of him and trying to cancel their season tickets. |

Thank you all for your kind wishes 😊 we're still here as little one has been treated for jaundice, we're waiting for some blood test results to see if we get to go home today or need to wait. Hoping for the former, worst holiday camp ever. I must admit the 24/7 restaurant, on a price-quality ratio, is actually pretty decent and has been a lifesaver. |

In amongst the doom & gloom a hopeful bright bit of positivity...
Me & my wife welcomed our first on Sunday evening. She's arrived 2 weeks early and in fact caused me to miss Saturday's game as I got to London, got a phone call a couple of hours before kick off that waters had broken and therefore could I please come home ASAP.
We're still in hospital currently as it ended up being a long and challenging labour and whilst mum & baby are well they've both needed some extra recovery time and help t kickstart some things.
The NHS staff at Leicester Royal Infirmary have been amazing with us and I've also been able to spend every minute here too instead of getting kicked out every night.
As holiday camps go it's not much cop but hopefully we'll be going home tomorrow.
Knowing we had a girl coming I've been seeing Dad's and Daughters at home games in recent months hoping in the years to come that will be us. She's got two sporty parents so hopefully she'll have interest, and if she shows interest in football she'll be whisked off to the R's and hopefully become a third generation Superhoop! |

I watched Partick Thistle v Fakirk on BBC Scotland via iPlayer on Friday night. We don't have Sky and I saw a rare opportunity for me to watch a FTA game so did.
First half ref booked a Partick player for a meaty tackle, then sent him off for a ridiculously soft foul 10 minutes later.
Second half with 11 minutes to go a Falkirk player commits an identical foul to the Partick's first half yellow - straight red, mainly it seemed because the ref got mobbed by Partick players, insane decision. |
