From his vantage point lodged in Trump's arse, old billiard ball bonce probably feels pretty good about himself. After all Blatter and Platini got off scot free even after the Swiss appealed.

Test will be when Trump finds out Italy is in Europe . We all know what he thinks about us.

Well...the word doing all the heavy lifting in the title of the award is "Sports".

Only hard core anti-wokers would suggest that the football and rugby played by the relevant nominees is not sport as imagined by the guiding principles of said award.

There were lady winners in 1962,1963 and 1964 when I don't recall being woke was something that influenced either the nominating committee or the voting public.

I won't vote but will root for the person that demonstrated fitness, passion, extreme skill and drove her Country to World Cup victory.

Ellie Kildunne all day long for me.

The last 12 hours on here is living proof (if it was ever needed) that supporting the Saints is something that should only be done under the strictest of medical supervision.

Has anyone suffered any of the following issues this season:

1.Hoping we would lose games under Still in order to hasten his exit.

2.Fearing to celebrate our 6 out of 7 run cos we might lose the next 6 and look like dicks.

These are well known and understandable symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia and nothing to worry about (too much).

Took my grandson to school bus earlier (13 y.o. Spurs fan) and told him of our 6 out of 7.He started waving his hands about and shouting 6-7, 6-7,6-7 which I believe is a current "thing"...I told him he would be laughing on the other side of his face when we bring back National Service.

Don't forget your medication when you get home Grandad says he on leaving the car.

I don't disagree but the modern game has made the 6 yard box a bear pit of shithousery when well delivered corners come in. There's an element of lottery there.

Here's an idea...spend some time coaching how not to concede corners ( not a serious suggestion)

The concerns expressed need urgent attention. I'm sure Mr Eckert is on it.

That said..

I struggle to be hyper critical of a manager who is boasting a win % just shy of 90.

I also console myself that any team I've played in, or watched, has always won if they score more goals than the other lot.

Spectacular Biblical trivia there, Rabbi Mush. A score draw I think.

Borrowing an old Louisiana proverb it's time to, metaphorically, call in the dogs and piss on the fire of the F1 debate.

Time to put the game face on for tonight.

Rough crowd on here.

Modern day Gaza City (what's left of it) was known in Biblical times as Azzah. It was the major fortified city of the Philistines. It was also said to be the venue for the relegation six-pointer between David and Goliath which David won to stay up on goal average.

The Good Book makes no mention of the Azzah GP which suggests us Philistines have thought F1 was a bit shit for over 2000 years.

I have to say I was thrown by your phrase "MK Ultras Patsy"

Like the idiot people say I am, I took it to be suggesting he was an MK Dons fan.

That would at least explain why he was deranged.

I was working at BP in Moorgate at the time. It was nearly my last day there.

When we heard (a.m. the 9th) four of us decided a couple of scoops at lunchtime would be in order...funny to think, but we were actually quite shaken up by the news.

Fast forward 3 hours and we had the whole of Davys wine bar singing his songs at max decibels whilst pummelling Old Wallop and ,later, Tawney Port ( don't ask me why..we never had before ).

Next morning we were met with a stony silence and summoned into the managers office.

His PA read the rap sheet...like idiots we had returned to the office after the impromptu wake...schoolboy error.

1. 2 wpb's containing traces of vomit
2. new stains on carpet of indeterminate nature
3. porno mag left on desk
4. inappropriate remarks made to both male and female staff on the reception desk when leaving the building

Luckily our manager and the reception guys turned out to be Lennon geeks too and we had a lunch to apologise profusely, reminisce and celebrate our continued employment.

Great man...Icon...Legend.

The only newspaper headline that can capture the pulsating intensity of that spectacle would be...

" Man with attractive Portuguese model lady friend drove his car in a circle all afternoon behind 2 other blokes who were faster but he was nonetheless awarded a big trophy to help cheer him up a bit "

To borrow a line from Blackadder..

F1 is about as much fun as being shot in the neck with a crossbow bolt only to find it has a gas bill attached to it.

That said, my entire family is in a room watching it...[sigh]..

Tonda confirmed as Head Coach.
at 21:03 6 Dec 2025

To make our new coach feel welcome it might be polite if singers introduce some German into their repertoire.

For a basic starter maybe " Tonda Eckerts Rot-Weisse Armee "

I then got carried away and Google translated an old early 70's favorite we used at the Milton Rd End to predict how the day would end for the away contingent.

Du fahrst mit einem verdammten Krankenwagen nach Hause!!

Translation..

You're going home in a fookin' ambulance !!

Good luck with that one, singers.

Today's win seemed somehow very important because nobody wanted the anti climax of a defeat after the week's build up.

Happy days

Beyond Miserable

Too reliant on Stokes and Root
At least 3 of our top 7 batters should go to their hotel bathroom tonight, look in the mirror and give themselves an uppercut.
Wicketkeeping and catching....no words

Wood a great bowler but is the Ross Stewart of English cricket..hardly ever available.
Archer sadly is not what he was.
Other seamers are rookies...Australia bad place to be a rookie.
No quality spinner to call on.

McCullum comes over as a Billy Big Blx lacking a Plan B.

Southampton On Verge Of Managerial Appointment
at 17:58 5 Dec 2025

The dole queue mob...Potter,Rodgers,Gerrard Ralph, O'Neill etc are all to some extent sitting on recent failures. In the unlikely event any of them have interest in us, it will on the basis of "big names need big bucks " and they will come with more than a hint of " doing us a favour".

Versus those guys I would take a young hungry German any day. Top work ethic, ambitious, driven and fully aware we are doing HIM a favour which he will want to repay.

Maybe aa idealistic view but it's all I got.

The following is the gospel truth...

I once came across Ronnie Wood in between my wife's legs.

He was in the seat in front of her on a transatlantic flight around 1985 and back then there were smoking areas. Once the sign had been switched off, Ronnie lit up. Suddenly a stream of expletives was followed by Ronnie appearing on all fours, interacting with my wife's legs, looking for his dropped snout.

The best bit of the whole story was that my wife had never heard of him. Rock chick she ain't.

Nice coverage of the "alternative music scene"

Here's one for you...Hank Wangford..stalwart of the London pub scene a thousand years ago.

His seminal ditty was " I ain't married but the wife is". That title went on to win the accolade of the worst chat up line of 1987 as awarded by some long defunct publication.

Disappointing not to hear a name check for Dublin's finest...The Fatima Mansions.

Their 1985 offering " Only Losers Take The Bus " is a brutal, but realistic, assessment.

If anyone was thinking of asking...yes, I take the bus many times every week.
