Saw on Twitter that some Leeds fans were saying that Sunak was jumping on the football bandwagon, and that the whole country would be behind Leeds now Sunak was claiming to be a Saints fan. They've obviously not noticed that Sunak was born and brought up in Soton and is a lifelong fan of the club. Furthermore, if Vladimir Putin, Fred West and Ghengis Khan all came out and confessed their love for Southampton FC, the rest of the world would still want Leeds to lose on Sunday. Except for the inbreds down the road, obviously. |

Given that there are 468 million Leeds United fans (and that's just in Leeds itself), there's obviously going to be one or two who sneak in to our end. They'll be easily identified when they complain about the lack of bread & dripping at the food stall. |

When did players start arriving for home games in a bus? Don't most of them live in Ocean Village? Hardly worth the bother. If they can't be arsed to walk or drive couldn't they hire those electric scooter things? |

Sky seemed to turn up the microphones every time Will Smallbone took a corner. The Harry Potter chant wasn't particularly funny or original the first time they did it, but after the fourth or fifth corner I was rather hoping the commentator might explain why they were singing it, and why alopecia's not really a laughing matter. |

1. He constantly talks about being 'brave'. Surely a genuinely brave thing to do would be to drop the players who've constantly failed to impress, and instead bring in Meghoma, SAA and Dibling. 2. It does make you wonder who thought it was a good idea to employ a band to play outside the ground at the end of a game when everyone just wants to troop off home or to the pub to be miserable. The club seem so out of touch with reality it's quite alarming. 3. In the main we're a fickle bunch. If we get through the play-off semis the interest will pick up just as quick as it dropped off. Anyway, if we play Leeds at Wembley I'm sure some of their 300 billion fans can fill the empty blocks. 4. It's not ideal, but at least they care. 5. Better get Le Tiss warmed up then...

Some of our moves this season have been incredible to watch, like going back to the Keegan era, and I think the majority of the team can play that way. Unfortunately, it does rely on everyone being on the top of their game, all the time. If the confidence goes and players start to go missing, the whole thing breaks down and we don't appear to have the players to win the ball back when we give it away. |

Nick's Jack Stephens fixation is weird. Blaming his inclusion in the team a couple of months ago for last night's 5-0 defeat is even more so. And so is this constant nonsense about a 'lack of leaders on the pitch'. We've got experienced players out there, it's not like we've got our entire youth team playing. As was mentioned by felly1, the stats prove that Flynn Downes' absence is much more significant than any other team selection. Without him we seem to lack steel and creativity. Somehow we've managed to assemble to team of players who are great at one touch passes, but aren't so great at scoring open goals and tackling when it really matters. [Post edited 24 Apr 13:54]

To be fair, McCarthy only played last night because they couldn't source a goalie's shirt with 'STEPHENS' on the back at such short notice. That one was for Nick. |

Fantastic. I seem to get stuck at each of the one million traffic lights every time I drive into Soton. Maybe we should employ Dan to think up a few songs for us. |
| Forum Reply | Stadium Update Meeting at 13:42 15 Apr 2024
I've been in the Northam for the cup games this season and I thought it was fine. The nippers at the back reminded me a bit of the Milton Muppets at The Dell. I'd get a ST in there but at my age I'm a bit concerned about whether I can stand up for the whole game if my back gives up on me. That said, being a tight old git, if they keep the price low I'm definitely up for it. |

Nick's dislike for Jack Stephens goes right back to the League Cup final when he blames him for losing the match (I personally tended to blame Jamie Vardy for stamping on VVD's ankle, but hey-ho). Since then there has not been a wasted opportunity to have a dig. Just lately the dislike has really been cranked up. If we lose, Stephens is to blame. If we draw, Stephens is to blame. And now, most bizarrely, even when we win, Stephens is to blame. Apparently the Cov goal last night was down to Stephens not being able to organise the defence (and not down to Bree/Arma failing to track their man). Stephens was even described in one post as being 'cumbersome' in the second half. I can't say I noticed that personally, but I do like the word 'cumbersome'. However, I do recall Nick being irrationally critical of SRL on occasions (although I think that may have been down to some Scouse turf war), so if I was Jack Stephens I wouldn't be too upset by all the stick. |

They don't charge all their own fans £47. Behind the goals it's £41 or £34 (depending on the opposition). They get away with it because they shove the away fans in a corner of their main stand where their own supporters are thick enough to pay 47 quid. Horrible club. |
